Retail price (in SGD):
Eye palette $71
Face palette $61
Lip palette $45

That's all I checked out... If you're interested in some other set, let me know so I can head down to the counter to find out the price.

Presenting... The Warm Eyes palette! (CP for Samantha

)

It looks a lot better irl, because I took these with a crappy camera phone.

 

[Miss QQ]

winnie: that is really sweet of you for doing CPs for people, what was your favorite palettes that you saw? (sorry if you already told us...lol, I don't have enough patience to go through the pages)

ambicion: congrats... must be exciting

My friend is going to the SF airport soon so hopefully I can pick up things that I could not before. I'm thinking the bronze cheek and eyes palettes or neutral eyes palette... but I don't know because I'm so undecisive

I love the face palettes, all 3 of them.

The warm eyes palette is very pretty too.

But those are just my opinion though, you may not find them as pretty as I do. Just sayin'.

The bronze eye/cheek palette is gorgeous. It's kinda neutral-ish colours but they are all super pigmented and lovely

Especially Elite, which is metallic liquid gold

So far out of the bronze eye/cheek, cool eyes and warm eyes I've used the bronze eye/cheek the most, followed by the cool eyes.

 

[blinkymei]

sweet... THANKS winnie & mrs.may! thank goodness I already have the cool eyes, now I'm aiming for the rest

ITA with the bronze cheek/eye palette. I already used it yesterday It looks awesome against my latina skin. I had never used any beauty powders before, but I might have to start looking into that more now!

I'm gonna make a fotd later on today with the new bronze cheek/eye palette!

^^ oh please do!

 

[cupcake123]

I still have hope that I can get one a bronze eye/cheek palette with all this talk about it. Do these run out or will they keep restocking until August?

 

[NeonKitty]

I want neutral and warm eyes

No can get

This might help for some of you ladies in the USA.
BUT
Keep in mind
1. Hawaii state tax is 4% so that will be added to the price ($40 for the eyes palettes and $23 for the lips, no mention of eye/cheek in the blog)
2. It will be FedEx'd to the US, which depending on where you are runs about $15-20. Its almost $20 to Chicago.

MAC Trip and MAC Travel Exclusives: Order by Phone from DFS Galleria in Hawaii: Makeup and Beauty Blog: Makeup Reviews, Beauty Tips and Drugstore Beauty Finds

How to buy!

You DO NOT have to fly out to Hawaii to purchase MAC Trip. You can actually place an order over the phone, but this opportunity may not last. The counter may not be able to handle an influx of calls, so I’m just sayin’… Keep that in mind.
The number to call…
(808) 931-2616
Before calling, have your credit card ready and the name of the item/s you’d like to purchase. DFS will ship your purchase to you for a fee (varies, depending on destination).
To place an order, call the MAC counter at the Waikiki DFS Galleria in Hawaii, (808) 931-2616, and request to place an order by phone.

Or you can always contact me for a CP (not sure if prices are higher here though).

 

[ambicion6]

lol Goooo Winnie!!! I'd rather get it from a Specktra-ite (Specktra-rette?)

with the shipping its probably about the same, but I'm wary of giving over my cc number so FedEx can charge the package cost directly.

This is what the SA told me:

2 charges would come up
1. the actual charge of the palette from the DFS store of $40 + 4% tax
2. DFS would take down your cc number and pass it on to FedEx who would then charge you for the shipping cost directly.

SA wasnt sure how much shipping was via FedEx, but you can look it up on the FedEx site and its pricey!!!
