    Hiyas

    Off to Spain in a few days and need to top up on some of my MAC makeup, really just need the foundation and a new lipstick (both here would cost 50E)! Would it be cheaper in Dublin airport Duty Free or Malaga airport in spain on the way home! Has anyone ever purchased it in Malaga airport and was it any cheaper than dublin?

    Thanks! :D

    any airport will not be cheap

    malagas not a cheap airport any more

    don't forget it will have to go into checked luggage as if the size is not on it they can take it off you

    This is incorrect. If you bought it in Duty Free you cannot put it in checked luggage, nor will you be required to. If you buy it on your departing flight to Spain, then yes, you will have to put it into your checked luggage on the way back (but only if it is over the limit)

    The Loop in Dublin Airport do some really great offers, you can reserve online and pick it up when you're flying. They do MAC

    MAC in Dublin Airport is normally about 5-10% cheaper than somewhere like BTs (something I got there was 19 euro, and it was 21ish in Brown Thomas). You'd be saving at least a euro or two on most items.

    Unless you're flying out of the EU, most airports would be roughly equal in price when it comes to cosmetics (unless they have heavier tax).

    To be honest, I would try and pick it up in Dublin in case it's out of stock in Malaga.

    Thanks everyone :-) I think i'll just get it in Dublin in case it was sold out in malaga! I know its only a couple of Euro anyway to BT2 but still nice to feel like you're getting some kind of bargain in this country! :D:)

    If you're booking parking with Dublin Airport you get a €10 voucher for the Loop too AFAIK.
