Yay…my mom is flying from America to visit me here in the Uk next month…so I know what to ask my mommy to buy me at the airport!!

Wow, Expensive Pink looks nothing like that image. 🙂 Actually I own almost all of the colours of the Warm Palette, and they are really nice ones (I don’t own Embark but heard it’s kind of chalky)- I’d suggest getting it, if someone doesn’t already own them and is going to have the opportunity.

Oh, mac! I think I need to grab that warm palette if I can even though I already have 5/6 of them. I like my Trip palette from 2009, it’s so compact for travel.

I want the cool eye palette, mostly because of the pink mink. I love it for my crease when I do an every day i’m-wearing-makeup-but-you-can’t-really-see-it-kind of look… and it’s discontinued so I grab it whenever I can find it.

i’m so lemming for the Warm Palette! i was lucky enough to get last year’s trip palette w/ the purple colors @ a CCO and i didn’t even know what it was at the time but i love it!! i’ve been waiting to collect those colors (from Warm Palette) and now i see it’s all in one! can u tell i’m excited? now i gotta figure out how to get it since i don’t really want to make a trip to LAX. imagine asking my hubby: “Can we go to the airport so i can buy me a MAC palette?” uh uh. 🙁

That really pisses me off, that its Duty Free shops only. Going from the US to another country so you can get access to Duty Free is a pain…Going between coasts should count :). West Coast to East Coast = East Coast to London practically.

I wish Duty Free’s only checked your ticket upon purchase, when I’m stuck in the airport for hours, they have the best stuff to browse.

This year’s trip palettes are a lot better than last year in my opinion, I’m definitely gonna pick up some when I’m get the airport!!

Christine, are you sure those are the right descriptions, or photos? The cool palette and face palettes don’t seem to match (although, admittedly, pictures can be deceptive). The cool palette especially seems to have extra blue shades, and no plummy ones. It might just be the lighting for the face palette though; I’m squinting and trying to see CCBs, but they all look so powdery! I’m feeling kind of dumb…
