So recently I went to London to see a Play. I was literally there for 22 hours which was crazy in retrospect but I had an amazing time. I stopped in MAC in Dublin Airport to have a look at their travel range and came out with a few things including the above travel set. The best thing about this set is that it only costs around the €38 mark and the products are all full sized. A serious bargain BUT only available in Airports.
I am going to go through what it includes and give you a run down of the colours and then there will be swatches.
MAC Look In A Box: Girl Next Door
Grand Entrance - Frost
This is a beautiful Champagne colour (I know it doesn't really show up on this picture and I apologise for that but it shows up better on the swatch picture below.
Smoke & Diamonds - Frost
This is a smokey taupe colour. Again the swatch is below.
Cremesheen Glass - Deelight
I was very surprised by this one. I thought looking at it that it was going to be sticky (which I hate) but it's not the texture I thought it was going to be. It is a gorgeous sheer, high sheen, brownish pink.
MAC Zoom Lash Mascara
I was all ready to hate this and to have it running down my face (I have weepy eyes) but fortunately it didn't run at all. I wore it one day for over 10 hours and there was the little run away smudges but then I had been crying in the theatre too. So I was very impressed. I was also impressed with how black it was and that it makes my lashes seem quite long but I also need something that makes hem look a little thicker so while this mascara is amazing at what it does it may not be the best for me but I do like it and will use it until it dries up.
MAC Iridescent Pressed Powder in Belightful
I couldn't take a picture of this that did it justice nor could I take a swatch that would either so I am afraid you will have to just trust my description of it.
So that was what was in "The Girl Next Door" but I also got sidetracked by a blush, a very beautiful blush:
MAC Powder Blush - Style - Frost
I seem to be a big fan of Frost finishes, I am not sure why but I think it's the sheen that they leave. This, guys, is a beautiful bright peach shade which blends beautifully.
Now on to my swatches.
From L-R Style blush, Smoke & Diamonds, Grand Entrance
Cremesheen Glass - Deelight
Have any of you had any of these products? How did you find them?

Grand Entrance looks so pretty!!! You went wild my dear, well done for spoiling yourself, prices here are insane! xo
Oh wow how much did the set cost?I'm almost scared to ask!
Great haul.will look forward to detailled reviews x
Oh I should have put that in the post but I was in such a mess around London that I can't find the reciept but it was about €38. A steal if you ask me Anne-Marie and they are all full sized products.
@ArtDonatella That's only what I got in MAC. I went CRAZY in superdrug too. I think I need to do a project 100 pan son or I will have no space in my apartment for myself.
A steal is right!going on hols next month and will be very tempted!
I have more than enough at home though!
They have one rocker chick which is slightly more expensive, I think, but has a lot of stuff in it.
It has two eye shadows - Electra and Black Tied, a smoulder eye pencil, Dazzle Lash Mascara, Lipstick in HUE and Lipglass in Oyster girl. It is great value too but I preferred the girl next door colours.
Here is a link to it online in dollars. http://www.maccosmetics.com/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT793&PRODUCT_ID=PROD14032
Oh these look great and at such a great price. Everyone deserves to treat themselves sometimes.

Gorgeous! Love the look of these especially that smoky taupe shadow and the highlighter powder; will be keeping my eyes peeled at the airport tomorrow!
Wow , such value...you should have bought two :)
And send you one honey? lol :P
Ah yeah great value. Definitely worth a look while passing through the airport. :)
@cupcakes I nearly would again to get the Rocker Chick one.
@ fluff It is beautiful all right. Let me know if you get any in the airport and have a good trip!
