Hi all! MAC has put the Trip Collection online for sale — this collection is not new. It was originally released in Summer 2009. It consists of permanent or previously released limited edition shades, but there are no new or exclusive shades to the collection. It is available ONLINE ONLY at this time. If I have swatches or a review available, you will find the collection that the shade was from originally linked. Might be a good way to snag some old LE shades you missed out on if you’re newer to MAC

MAC Cosmetics All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection
U.S. Launch Date: January 7th, 2010
All Ages, All Races, All Sexes is our credo. Now M∙A∙C takes the “One World” idea further than ever, with a multi-culti colour story intent on a universal focus – spectacularly shaded and shaped brows for all, because beautiful people come in colours! Miraculously matched to the individual, Impeccable Brow Pencil is the ultimate artist’s tool to fill, lengthen and shape, with a firm tip that sharpens application for high-performance precision. Penultimate Brow Marker, in one shade suits all, has a liquefied glide adept at the all-important arch. But that’s not all: Lipstick, Lipglass, Eye Shadow and Nail Lacquer shade extensions speak your language, a match for every international skin tone.
RE: New Pigment Packaging
Yes, indeed — it’s true, there is new packaging for pigments.I checked with MAC, and each pigment contains 4.5 grams (at least for All Ages, All Races, All Sexes). The packaging is permanent going forward and the price is still the same. MAC will be phasing out the old jar packaging. This generally means until they’ve run out of stock. I do not have a hard date, but I expect we’ll see it in 2010, since the new packaging will launch first in the All Ages, All Races, and All Sexes collection on January 7th.

Every couturier has forever had a fascination with the mysterious and alluring qualities of Lace. From Evita to Marlene Dietrich to some of the best-dressed of our red-carpet modern screen stars, it’s a long love affair. This salon-intimate collection is all about a dramatic, intense, smoky eye, with shadows that flash frosty grey to deep blue. Kohl Power is brought back for a limited time in favourite shades plus a new blackened marine blue. And naturally, 44 Lash adds the depth and desire. Lips stay pleasingly pale and Nail Lacquer in Light Affair adds a hint of danger. If ever there was a moment to do away with the winter doldrums and add some instant intrigue, this is it.
