MAC Trip discussion - March 10

[Susanne]

There is a new trip collection online at maccosmetics.com

A collection of black-and-white graphic compacts, trios and glossy patent bags with sleek, sharp stripes is the simple, sophisticated way to expedite effortless eyes, long-lasting lips, and cheeks. Around-the-world chic is now so stylishly state-of-the-art, it's trippy!

These trip palettes in different special packaging come out every year, but they just were available at MAC Duty Free shops at airports the last years.
This year the collection is online, too.

What do you think? Do you like the trip collections? What will you get?

 

[Susanne]

Will we get the collection online in Germany as well?? I would love to get the Cool Eyes palette this time! I missed it last year *fingers crossed*

 

[Miss QQ]

The only item I have interest in is the Cool Eyes palette too. There are three VP, one frost, and a lustre, which is a turn-off for me. I will go to the DFS to check it out.

I hope you manage to get the palette this time, Susanne.

 

[Susanne]

^^^ Yes, thank you! The trip collection let me think of my trip to NY last Easter

 

[Miss QQ]

Sweet memories for you!

Love both Eye palettes especially the Neutral Eyes. It has Mineralism and Say Yeah which are two of my favorites. I wish I could just get those 2 colors and the greens and blues in the Cool palette.

I need back ups of the 1st two... I am close to pan on both When I get home I will have to see how low I am. I may have to go and order at least the neutral palette.

Are these going to be available in stores or just online?

I don't know - but I could imagine just at Duty Free shops at airports as usual and online now.

One of these compacts has Shy Beauty blush! If I were in the business of buying backups I would get that one for sure.

I just got the email about them and had never heard of this collection before. I think I'd only be interested in the Cool Eyes set also but can't afford it and the stuff I want from Art Supplies

I wonder why they don't have the Warm eyes palette??

Note this site has the one color as "springtime skipper" but mac lists is as Springtime Skimmer in the actual color mouseover

but correct in the description.

Darned MAC trying to tempt me. I would love the Neutral Face palette with Shy Beauty in it but I must be strong so I can go to the concerts I want to see.

 

[Flaminbird]

BTW I saw this on Temptalia's site from last spring with all the exact same products.

 

[AudreyNicole]

I am tempted by the cool eyes palette. If it is still around in a few weeks, I may cave

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Is this really a new Trip collection or do they now just sell last years Trip now also online? The palettes (their content) sounds familiar.

The promo picture also looks like last years Trip and not like a new Trip collection.

 

[Susanne]

Yes, it is the Cool Eyes palette with Waternymph which I already loved last year

I'm guessing that MAC can't call it "Skipper" for copyright reasons - they had an agreement with Mattel for the Barbie collection, but that doesn't mean that MAC can use the names afterwards.

I got these at DFS last year and I'm really surprised they didn't update them with new colors. I have the neutral/cool eyes palette + rose lip bag. Somehow the warm eye palette was not available. Let me know if you'd like to see swatches/review of these.

 

[hello_my_apple]

i think i want the lip palettes!

ooo please!!!

I am all about the neutral eye palette. This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm just about out of Say, Yeah! and the little remaining of my Sable has been dropped so much, it's broken up in loose powder form. This is a must have for me.

I'm wavering on the Shy Beauty palette. This isn't a must have for me...so far just a lust-have.

I'm really liking the neutral lip palette cuz of Poetic License, but it worries me how yucky some people say these lip palettes get after awhile.

What are your thoughts on the lip bags? Are there any lippies worth getting? I'd love to hear some thoughts on those
