Cool Eyes
MAC Cosmetics Trip II Collection
Launch Date: April through August 2009 at Duty Free Shops (at Airports)
Launch Date (Updated): Now available as of March 23, 2010 online at MACCosmetics.com.
UPDATED/EDITED MARCH 23, 2010
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
