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

so will it be in duty free shops? because i went on the mac website and under collections and this didn't appear anymore. i really want the brush set and neutral eyeshadow palette.
I believe so.
I love this color palette! I saw this really great tutorial on Youtube where they use colors in these shades! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nyNildi7Nc
Hi there, I love your site and always use it as my first reference for MAC releases! I just wanted to point out a couple mistakes, in case you want to correct them: 1. Sable is a Frost finish 2. Flashtrack is not a permanent eye shadow Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Hey Christine, I was wondering if you could tell me how Eversun might look on light-medium toned skin? I use MAC's studio finish concealer in NC 20 for blemishes and redness, but not sure if my skin is actually cool or warm toned.. I'm afraid that Eversun might end up looking orange on me?! I hope you can help! Thanks :)
I think Eversun would be pretty, and I don't think it'd be too orange on you... but you can find out if you're cool or warm by looking at the inside of your forearm. If your veins are greener, you're warmer; if they're bluer, you're cooler. If you can't tell, you're neutral!
I wish this'd come out in the Phils... so badly... I really want the Classic Eye and Cheek Palette as well as the 3 Pink Lips *tear tear*
looks like the mac website is not selling the warm eyes palette =(
Hi Christine, Thank you so much for doing this. I can narrow down what I like based on them being permanent or not. Really appreciate it :D
On the Mac website they have brush set for 50? Is it as good as the one you get seperately or they just don't care and make it bad? thanks for Info.
They're not as good - I'd pass, personally!
OHHH!! I want the Cool lips pallette! It'll be wayy easier to carry! :) HAHAHHHA!! but I dont know why its not up on the mac website! : (
They don't have the warm eyes palette online =( only the neutral and the blue one.. do you already have the lipsticks in the pink lips? Can you swatch those? Do you think it's worth getting? Thanks for the pictures!
I don't, sorry!
How cute! I am a sucker for a palette! Christine - I am having problems between cool eyes and neutral eyes... or both... Recommendations? I have always wanted Springtime Skipper and Waternymph but already have Knight Devine... Is it worth it?! After typing this I think I am 99% sure of neutral eyes so that leaves the question as to cool eyes??? Hmm... I'm brown eyed NW15 in MAC. :)
I'd get the Cool eyes :)
:) yeaaaah
Why is everybody crying about not being able to get something because they are only on duty free shops/airports..these are available online hello!!!
Hi Samantha, Please note that this collection originally released a year ago at Duty Free Shops exclusively, and many of the comments on this post are from a year ago--so please check the date.
Wow I've never seen these pallets in Duty Free before. A good way to keep all your favourite eyeshadows in one place or for MAC newcomers to get their hands on some shadows.
good! bout time mac finally has these duty palettes online so people who dont go to the airports alot can buy them! thankyou!
I have the Neutral Eyes palette, and it gives an awesome golden neutral look, go for it!
The Classic Cheek & Eye Palette, Cool Lips Palette, and Warm Eyes Palette are not on the site?
Those probably sold out while they were available a year ago -- normally duty free palettes and the like go to CCOs, but I guess they're testing out demand seeing if they can sell the palettes online at full retail rather than immediately marking down any leftover stock!
What I find strange is that I just went to the Mac Canada site ( www.maccosmetics.ca ) and saw them for sale on the sight. Maybe call mac and see if you can order them...it is worth a shot.
Hi!! Did you ever d swatches on this collection?? Cant seem to find any?? Thanks!
They're linked in this post!
I only see the image shots but no swatches, could you point me there?? Pretty Pls??
Hi Maria, There is a link after each item if there is a photo/swatch.
well after wanting it when it originally came out, and thinking about this for the past 2 days, I caved and bought the bronze eye & cheek pallet, and the cool eyes pallet! Can't wait!
I don't see Warm Eyes online :(
SOOOO HAPPPY!! I didn't luck out when the sets came out last year, which was a bummer since the palette I got for my trip sucked, so I've been trying to find/make one that works better.... so this makes things very easy! :D Thanks for the update Christine!
Wow! I'm loving the neutral eyes palette. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for these next time I'm at the airport. What a great way to get some adventurous new colours without paying a bundle for a bunch of them.
These are no longer available at airports!
I want these! I had no clue they were coming out. What a nice surprise...now I have to scrape up some $$.
Both the warm eyes and cool eyes look very pretty. Water Nymph is gorgeous.
smut is the best e/s ever
Christine, do you know if the warm palatte will be launched? :) Thanks!
If it's not up, probably not.
definitely NOT gonna buy them online! i will wait for my flight in May and then will check them out at the airport :)
Hey Amy, They are no longer available in DFS! This collection was originally in DFS last summer (2009)!
Thanks so much for this update with the links to your previous reviews!
I just ordered the Coral Lips set. I don't have those lipsticks (as I understand they were released previously, and I only got into MAC and Corals last year ...Amazing right?) , and I needed a new PRRR... Although I've spent a whole lot on my moms card and my bum is gonna get whipped. Oh well , MAC is worth it.
OMG these comments are painful. These products are available on mac.com. You do not have to go to the airports and duty free shops to get them, as stated in the description above.
Hi Dana, Please check the date on the comments :) Many of these comments are from the original post, which was posted way back in April 2009!
I was wondering if the warm palette ( the pinks) was being re released in this March 2010 launch bc I didnt see it online...:(
Launch 2009?
Yep!
These are available right now on the MAC website but they're the same ones from last year???
