MAC at Heathrow/Luton/Stanstead airports?

[Hilly]

I went to London last year- but not sure if I flew out of Gatwick or Heathrow. In any case tho- the one I went to had MAC. They had a travel pallet!

 

[Mabelle]

i know heathrow has one.... but not if any of the others do

 

[MzzRach]

Heathrow definitely has a MAC - at least last time I was there!

 

[speedygirl247]

Stansted has one.

gatwick had a mac counter in the duty free shop. it's where i bought my so scarlet lippie from cult of cherry when me and hubby were going too florida!

Stansted and Gatwick (both terminals) have both got a mac counter in the world duty free shop.

heathrow terminal 1 I think.....Terminal 4 needs to get one, they are loosing so much money by not having one there ;-), I fly from T4 a lot!

Well the question has quite obviously already been answered but I wanted to add the counters sell the MAC Trip line which is really awesome! Little pallettes and sets of 3 l/g and liquidlasts. It's cute stuff!

LHR Terminal 3 definitely has a large counter too.

Terminal 5 also has a counter, though it doesn't appear on the list of stores/brands available there on the BA website.

I had some of the worst service I've ever experienced there!

Yay! Thanks everyone!

Just hope they still have some HK stuff by the time I get there..!!

how on earth did i manage to miss the mac trip line?! i want cute little pallettes!!!! anybody have any more info on them??

Julie150463 who posts here sometimes has some of the Trip line in her eBay store, Cocktail Cosmetics. I'm not sure if it would be ok to post a direct link here, but I've just had a quick look and if you just search for MAC trip, you'll find 3 sets she has at the moment.

They all look nice, but I've passed on them when I've seen them at Heathrow since I've always been on my way to spend lots of money on holiday!

 

[LMD84]

you'd think i'd be able to poass because i'll be spending lots on holiday but whenever mac is involved i spend like a crazy person! last year when we went to florida i must have spent about $700 worth of mac in the stores and the cco's over there! but it saved me lots on the long run and i saved long and hard for all that!

thanks for the info on the sellers - i'm having a look right now

I can't remember what shades are in the Trip palettes but there are lip and eye ones. The liquidlasts I seem to remember are Aqualine, Coco Bar and Point Black I think, not totally sure on that last one.

The lustreglass set I got had Budding, Little Vi and Luminary in it, there are 2 other sets aswell.

The packaging is really no different to the normal line, apart from with the palettes. However the boxes aren't your average MAC ones they have pretty eyes and lips and colours etc on them.

Didn't get my Trip stuff from an airport - local CCO often has it in = even cheaper = happy Natalie.

Re: MAC at Terminal 1 Heathrow Airport?

I'm flying from Düsseldorf, Germany to Cape Town, South Africa on the 2nd of May and will have some hours to kill in Terminal 5 then. And to be honest: I can't wait

Espescially now, that the Euro is so strong compared to the pound... I think that's the first time EVER that something will be cheaper in England that it is here in Germany (I used to be in London a lot because my bf lived there)!

So excited!!! One more question: Does anybody now the payment methods they accept? I don't really want to get pounds in cash since I only spend a couple of hours in Britain; but don't have a credit card; can you use "normal" euro cheque cards that say "Maestro" on it? I never had problems paying with this anywhere in Europe, but the Brits are a bit different when it comes to money

Re: MAC at Terminal 1 Heathrow Airport?

You can use Maestro, Visa, or just use a ATM and draw out money.

Anyone know if they are getting MAC back at T4 ever again???

Duty on cosmetics in the UK is 15% so if an item costs £1.15 with duty (VAT) it's £1 in duty free.

Re: MAC at Terminal 1 Heathrow Airport?

^ Thanks for that!!!

 

[wannabelyn]

should i assume that the duty free prices are less 15% only?

Thanks! my flatmate is flying over next week and i wanted to ask him to help me stock up because the GBP is too good to be true!
