MAC - Carry All Traincase Discussion

[Caracoco]

I was quite excited about the new traincase but it looks pretty small

I have this one:

Professional make-up cases, directors chair, chairman trolley

It holds everything in it, including all my skincare, disposables and lashes (I'm an MUA).

Here is a pic showing everything it has in it:

My kit has almost doubled in size since I took those pics (although I have got rid of some stuff too) and it still all fits in the case. The only downsize is that it weighs about 35lbs when full and can be a bit of a pain to carry around. I have got a set of wheels for it though which helps.

They look to me like they're MAC ones with the insert that is meant to hold the eyeshadow pans in place popped out. If you take out that piece, it leaves you with an empty black pan that anything will stick to, as long as it has a magnet and is thin enough for the palette.

Yep, they're just Mac palettes with the insert taken out. The shadows are Bobbi Brown which I depotted.

Yeah the new case is pretty small. Its kinda cool, but I would prefer the older one cus its bigger. Either way I don't own a MAC traincase yet..

 

[MAC_Whore]

Hey all!

I don't know if it has been mentioned in this thread, but I have word that this case will be released only in MAC Stores and MACCosmetics.com on 16 Oct and that partner locations (i.e. Nordies, Macys, etc) will get this on 01 Jan 09.

 

[Ruby_Woo]

Yeah Oct 16th is the date. We already got huge shipments. It looks pretty and pettite.

The case is on counter at the Pro store in NYC, it's too small..I almost broke it!!

 

[erine1881]

hey all. i'm here to dispell some rumors that have been going around on this bad boy.

as with the current 1.6, this case IS NOT:

-temperature regulated (your stuff will melt if left in the heat!)
-fireproof (it will burn, along with all your stuff inside)
-bulletproof
-made of metal (its made of injection-moulded plastic)
-made by samsonite
-and probably some others that i can't think of right now

it has a main chamber, two side compartments and a front pull drawer for brushes. it has a custom-designed combination lock, shoulder strap and a soft plastic handle. each section has removable dividers, and the side compartments swivel out instantaneously.

^^ So, you're saying that it is just a glorified caboodle?

Aww. Well, what is it's selling points? lol.

 

[Randy Rose]

Did they discontinue the old temperature protective train case, then? Bummer.

apparently, there never was a temp regulated one. they were just rumors.

 

[Randy Rose]

Huh. About a year or so ago when I was at the freestanding store in St Louis, the MA straight up said that their current train case was temperature regulated. I was like "How the fuck can they charge $250 (or whatever) for a train case when I can get one for like thirty bucks?" and she said it was temperature regulated and would keep my shizz from getting all meltalicious.

 

[erine1881]

yeah, i told my trainer today that i had heard that too and she said the 1.6 wasn't, and neither is the new one. it doesn't have any super powers, it won't save you from drowning, it won't stop a bullet, and all that jazz. it is what it is, just a really cool, classy, sturdy plastic MAC traincase. i plan on getting a couple of these if they're as cool as i keep hearing. i need a traincase. or two. or three.

 

[katie_070405]

I have the mac traincase 1.6 and although it is not technically temp regulated.......it doesn't get as hot in your car. Yep....you heard right, you lipstick will not melt if left in your car for awhile. Now....I never tested it on a 110" day all day long. I did leave it in my car for umm...about 5 hours when it was right at 100, a lipstick I had in my console melted, but the ones in my traincase were only sweating. LOL, they can't market it as temp regulated because they will have some dumba$$ trying to see if they can put their makeup in the oven to see if it will melt.

I did not like this case because it was too heavy and reminded me of an ammunition case which I dont know if that was what they were going for but it was TOO HEAVY! For that price with not that much storage im not impressed.
