I couldn't do that! I had a friend who flew to hawaii with me (before my mac days) and had all of her make up stolen, along with jewelry etc.

Anyway promising myself I would never go through that I always take my mac on board. The smaller liquid items such as studio fix of course I have to check, but anything under 3 oz and I mean ANYTHING, goes with me...brushes, blush, you name it I take it.

I have done this flying in America and everytime I go to Europe (yearly). The one time I had a problem was in New York, and I told them I was a make-up artist and had a job to perform immediately upon arrival in Paris. They just smiled and ushered me forward.

Try it. It sucks to worry about stuff like that.

Welcome to Specktra!

If I were to get 5 mac basics it would be:

Carbon Eye Shadow
Shroom Eye Shadow
Blacktrack Fluidline
C Thru Lipglass
Vanilla Pigment

If that happened to me I would get:

Dollymix blush
Nymphette lipglass
Satin Taupe e/s
Shale e/s
Macroviolet f/l

Those are my favorites, anyway!

I do the same thing! I couldn't stand the thought of my luggage getting lost or someone stealing it, so I just take it all on board with me (minus the liquids that are too big). I've never had any problems, since I only take a tiny bit of my collection (like one e/s quad, brushes, one or two lip products, one blush, etc).

Speaking of liquids though, they actually took my mom's TOOTHPASTE away last time (it was in her carry on). I didn't know toothpaste counted as a liquid!

First off, if that happened to me I would cry my eyes out like a baby! Then I'd write to Mac head office, explain how long I'd been collecting and beg for sympathy and a few freebies to start me off again (trust me I think they would be more than happy to give u some free stuff!) U poor thing!

So starter kit

Foundation ( I like Studio Fix )
Dark Eye Shadow To Contour Lids ( Nocturnel, Carbon, Deep Truth- whatever colours float ur boat)
Highlighting Eyeshadow (I love ploof! personally!)
Lipgloss! Go for a lip gellee they taste yum

Carbon is lovely. Shroom is nice too but i prefer Ploof!
