We made it to the hump, babes! Honestly, sometimes I think for surviving half the workweek, we should all get an award — a golden statue or a trumpet salute would do nicely, yes?
One good thing so far about today: I finally got a chance to swatch more Pearlglide Liners from the MAC Art Supplies Collection (see more swatches here). Say g’mawning to Undercurrent, a shimmery green, and Almost Noir, a shimmery plum (each $15).
From left: Undercurrent, Almost Noir
They have the same creamy formula as the rest of the Pearlglide liners and boast plenty o’ glitter to spare. What do you think of these colors? I’m feeling ’em both. 🙂

MAC just released three new Trip travel exclusive palettes called Compact Kits. Keep an eye out for these limited-edition eye and cheek palettes at select airports and duty-free stores.

No word yet on prices, but I’m guessing they’ll be consistent with previous MAC Trip palettes at around $38 each.
I’m going to keep my fingers crossed and hope MAC sells these online soon, ’cause I really want that Total Face Kit.
Have a faboo Wednesday and keep trucking (*raises tea cup*).
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
WANT. now. *MAKES GRABBY MOTIONS WHILE FOAMING AT MOUTH*

happy hump day, karen!
.-= ines + cha cha’s last blog post… Le Look Du Jour – Bronze, Blue & Fuchsia/Dance Update =-.
No doubt! I need to start saving for both this and MAC to the Beach.
Happy hump day to you, too. What are you up to today?
working – mainly paperwork for the tax season, for my boss… but, it’s the long weekend soon, so i’m pretty happy 🙂
.-= ines + cha cha’s last blog post… Le Look Du Jour – Bronze, Blue & Fuchsia/Dance Update =-.
ps – i loved the packaging of MAC to the beach, gotta get my paws on a couple of those too…
i wonder if they’ll ever bring back blue flame (veluxe pearl) one of these summers – i picked one up but forgot to buy a backup, and i’m ever so paranoid that i will run out…
.-= ines + cha cha’s last blog post… Le Look Du Jour – Bronze, Blue & Fuchsia/Dance Update =-.
I saw blue flame at my CCO! Are you in SF?
.-= HC’s last blog post… AT LEAST I HIT PAN…??! =-.
no i’m not 🙁 i’m in canada unfortunately…
when i was in chicago over christmas, i managed to snag a pan of the ungaro edition of phloof (great over fresco rose paint pot to make it less red), and the warm eyes from the travel/trip collection.. . i love CCO, it sucks they don’t have them in montreal!
.-= ines + cha cha’s last blog post… Le Look Du Jour – Bronze, Blue & Fuchsia/Dance Update =-.
I’ve been waiting to see if they were going to release a cat themed collection! Many of the MAC sponsored fashion shows during fashion week were using products with feline-like names. Thanks for the news 🙂
.-= Lindsey’s last blog post… Shu Uemura leaves the US! =-.

I am such a cat lady, i can’t wait for this collection! I hope it has cute packaging with little paws on it 😀
.-= Katie’s last blog post… OPI Hot & Spicy =-.
Wouldn’t that be adorable? Or maybe cute silhouettes of cats sitting and what not?
OMG! I LOVE the Tabs pictures – especially the Color Craft one! Hilarious!!
I might wants Tabs make up more than MAC’s! LOL
LOL, I wish Tabs could have his own MAC collection! I think it would be all sorts of awesome.
you bet it would cuz Tabs rocks!
I want you to know that I’ve shown that Colour Craft picture to anyone who would look today, including my husband! I dunno why but every time I look at it I break out into hysterical laughter. LOL
I loved it so much, it brought me out of Lurker status.
Thanks Karen – great blog – love it, and your awesome cat!!! 🙂
Wendy
I ‘m looking forward to the cat collection! I really wish I could wear mauve shades on my eyes!
Mauve can be tricky. Sometimes I have trubs with it too.
Happy Wednesday!
Hy!Thanks for the swatches, they look great! So does Tabs, as always!
kiss
.-= diane’s last blog post… Turquoise =-.
You’re welcome! 🙂 What do you think of the colors?
ho. em. gee. I LURV those swatch colors! They’re along the lines of the type of makeup I “need to own” but will very rarely wear, ha.
Both liners Plz!!

ooo i noticed that trax is one of the colors in the Mac Trip warm eye shadow palette. I own trax and i love the color but i have no clue how to wear it! sometimes it comes out looking like i got a bruise on my eye. do you have any suggestions on ways to wear trax?
Tje MAC Trip Compact Warm palette is very beautiful with the shades which is summer-y and yet suitable for most seasons with the earthy tones.

I bought Black Line and Almost Noir. I have never used MAC liners before so I can’t wait to try them. I’m a loyal user of the UD 24/7 liner in Bourbon. 🙂

The liners look nice and I can’t wait for the cat-themed collection. I love the pix of Tabs, he’s so cute!

Oh wow, I love the new trip compacts! I really want that warm eye set! I have been wanting to try a few of those colors and having them all in one set would be the perfect time to try them! Can’t wait, can’t wait! Karen, I just love your blog, I look forward to all the new stuff on here every day and my make up collection has been quickly multiplying since I started checking it out! Im going to be so broke! lol
No repromote of Feline e/l? 🙁
I love Almost Noir!
.-= Christy’s last blog post… back to basics: nails and skin =-.
LOL at Tabs in the Colour craft ad…I realllly love ‘Almost noir’ it reminds me of a much prettier ‘Raven’..OMG thank you for the update on the cat collection..I am SO excited about the new mineralize blushes, they are my favorite thing from MAC, the lipsticks and eyeshadow quads sound amazing as well…I am officially on a no buy until this collection! Can’t wait to see the packaging!!!
.-= Aleksis’s last blog post… Sudocrem: Miracle skin cream! =-.
Oh MAC how you tease me with your fab collections.
I am so in with the Feline Collections – I cant wait to see the makeup and the packaging.
I am particularly looking forward to the Kittenish Lipstick and the Palace Pedigreed Quad!!!
Those pearlglide colors are great!
Dang I had Almost Noir in my cart yesterday like 3 times, but wound up getting two Black Line’s instead (and Undercurrent and Designer Purple). Now I wish I had ordered it also! I think Black Line is gonna rock my world!
.-= Kelly’s last blog post… Fat Gull =-.
Hi Karen,
How would you compare Almost Noir to UD’s Rockstar? Any similiarities? I am trying to resist the urge of adding Undercurrent to my shopping list!
WOAH! MAC Attack indeed lol, that’s so much to take in right now. I can’t wait to see promo images, etc for Fabulous Felines. So exciting hehe.
Man, this Wednesday’s been rough for me (I think I’m coming down with a cold ;_;) but hopefully it’ll get better. I’m having lunch w/ a friend and getting a new haircut tomorrow and then getting taken out to dinner early for my bday on Friday by another friend… so I just have to get through today really! Super excited because on Saturday SO and I are cleaning and baking for my birthday tea party on Sunday, and then on my actual birthday (Monday) he’s taking me to Neimans to haul Shu Uemura. 😀
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… NOTW – Purple Holo & Lace =-.
Those eyeliners up top look like something I need! 🙂
Oh man…loving the way this kitty collection sounds. I want (make that need) many of these items. I can’t believe we have to wait for fall. No fair!
I am so glad that tomorrow is the 1st of April!! I have abstained from purchasing anything from mac in the past two weeks, so I’m definitely going to go nuts on the Art Supply collection. Especially the lipstains!
Your Tabs-themed MAC adverts made me LOL, Karen. I needed that today!
I’m sad to say that I want all of these–I’m totally curious about the eyeliners. Le sigh. MAC steals my paycheck before it even gets into my account. Now all they need is a dog-themed collection and I’m set…
OMG… I love your Tabs Promo Pics. Genius Ideas LOL. They are the winners of your Tabs Art Contest!
I love Almost Noir, it’s so pretty. To me, it kinda looks like Macroviolet Fluidline in a pen. Speaking of Pearlglide, I pull out my Black Russian from last year’s collection and used it today only because there are new shades releasing tomorrow. Haha, I’m such a dork.
.-= Rica’s last blog post… WLC self reflection #1 =-.
Oh, and I don’t understand why they don’t include Feline Kohl Powerin this humongous collection. I mean, the name has Feline in it.
I am SO FREAKIN’ EXCITED for the Fabulous Felines line. Oh my God. I think the crazy cat lady in me feels as though this was made specifically for us cat people..
.-= Kelsey’s last blog post… Reader Review: Soap & Glory Sexy Motherpucker =-.
YAYYYYY FOR FABULOUS FELINES! I don’t have much MAC stuff, but I’m enough of a crazy cat lady to buy half the line simply to own kitty makeup.
I am hoping to save for the Leopard Luxe palette and the Drive Me Wild lipstick. Do you know anything about the supposed “A Tartan Tale” collection MAC might be releasing in October? I’m obsessed with Tartan but am hoping there’s nothing too fabulous so I can save for the winter collections.
