Waah just one?! Okay if my life and/or the happiness of my travelling partner (my dear isaac) depended on it, I would have to bring Love Connection mineralized duo with me. It’s light and always turns out pretty. Plus I can use my fingers to apply so it’s basically perfect!

Have fun in Hawaii!

I recently got married and went on my first international flight for my honeymoon (10 hours in the air total). I forgot to bring any lip moisturizer, and instead the only close alternative I could find in my bag: Mac tinted lipglass in C-thru it worked great on my lips! Love it!

(On a side note: I just found your blog and am totally addicted! Reading it every day just makes my day brighter)!!

If you pick me I would be the happiest makeup addict in the world! I want this Palette so badly!! The colors are beautiful but they dont sale it at the airport near me! Bummer!!
18. Nina said, on May 15th, 2009:

Well I only have one MAC product, Florabundance lipglass! So I’d take that!
19. Sandy Dibbell said, on May 15th, 2009:

I finally bought a MAC product — Brow Set in Girl Boy — and I will never leave home without it!!! I have red hair but my eyebrows bleach white-blond the minute the sun hits them, and BS makes me look like a human being again.

But I want to win this to give it to my SO’s DIL. She just moved here from Romania and I’d like to help her start a makeup collection. These colors won’t work on me but would look stunning on her.
20. Luciana Lima said, on May 15th, 2009:

31. NINA said, on May 15th, 2009:

I am mostly a drugstore cosmetic girl but I did cave in and got 2 MAC products – I have one tube of the new Viva Glam I V which is a dusky pink that I feel is perfect for my skin tone. I also have the MAC Just a Pinch Gel Blush – which I love. Between these two, I would take my Viva Glam I V if I could only take one of them on vacation (id love to take both, mind you!) — I feel like a good lipcolor pulls the sunkissed, healthy look that a vacation gives. I wont need cheek color – my cheeks will be kissed by the sun! The pinkish lipstick will just pull that look together and im pretty confident I will glow!
32. RuBie said, on May 15th, 2009:

My MAC charged water to refresh my skin!
33. Bobbie Sue said, on May 15th, 2009:

Morning Karen,
You must be UBER excited about going to Hawaii!! I would be, my fiance and I want to go soon. Where do you think would be some good places to start??
My one most needed thing from MAC for a trip would have to be… my Fix +!! Wow I hate to sound like a broken record, but that is one thing I can not live without anymore!!
Good Luck and be safe.

XOXO,
Bobbie Sue

Have a perfect holiday, Karen.
66. Elle said, on May 15th, 2009:

Truthfully, I don’t own any MAC products because I just recently had an interest in cosmetics. Surely, MAC has a lot of products and they are quite pricey too. I’m trying to look into it more to see which would match me and suit me more before I order (since the only way for me to order is thru the MAC website).

It would be nice to have some suggestion for a MAC newb like me x]
67. Michelin said, on May 15th, 2009:

What a beautiful palette! I have to take my MAC angled eyeliner brush with me everywhere I go. It’s just so much easier than applying eyeliner from a crayon.
68. Marissa said, on May 15th, 2009:

I bring my Studio Finish Concealer – I love going on trips, but unfortunately my skin does not.
69. Steph said, on May 15th, 2009:

The only MAC item I had the last time I traveled was my Media l/s. It came with me too. I love how it can be sheered out on the lips and used as a cheek stain too.

The next time we travel (to DH’s home, Fiji) my niece has requested that I leave none of my mac home. She wants to play in auntie’s make up case.

78. Brianna said, on May 15th, 2009:

79. Megan said, on May 15th, 2009:

I’m so not a MACaholic…anyway you know I really tend to take a lot of makeup with me on trips…If I had to pick one thignsd from my MAC stash that I would be most likely to take along though…probably plushlash or blushbaby. I’ll go with bushbaby..because of the whole vacay/swimming thing…and bring some other mascara that won’t leave me with racoon eyes.

92. Laura said, on May 15th, 2009:

I haven’t tried MAC yet. Is that horrible? It is only because they don’t sell it at Sephora, and I hate the department store makeup counters.
93. Vampy Varnish said, on May 15th, 2009:

97. wreena said, on May 15th, 2009:

I bring my MAC holiday pallet with me everytime I travel. The brown is great for day looks and the gray side works for night. I love my browns esp since it’s not too dramatic for touristy things like hiking and walking around a bunch.
It’ll be with me when I go to Puerto Rico soon, hayyy!
98. Ri said, on May 15th, 2009:

I just packed my suitcase for a holiday trip tomorrow
The first thing i packed was Show Orchid L/s, a great colour, especially when i am getting a nice tan.
131. Lou said, on May 15th, 2009:

It would have to be Shroom eyeshadow, not very adventurous I know, but…it’s very pretty on its own, makes a great base for other shadows or liners, I’m quite pale so I use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones and even mix it in with my pink lipgloss to make a sparklier evening lip.

151. fauxflush said, on May 15th, 2009:

Studio Finish Concealer. Mixed with eye cream I can use it on dark circles, and the texture is perfect for blemishes. Plus the package is really tiny.

172. Kacie said, on May 15th, 2009:

my favorite MAC item to take with me on trips is my Cream Eyeshadow Base in Pearl. I take that with me on every trip i go on as a base to my eyeshadows because it is very compact and doesnt take up much room in my makeup bag like my UDPP will.

184. Keala said, on May 15th, 2009:

Hi Karen! I’d have to agree with angela, fluidline is a MUST! Don’t mean to be a stickler, but being Hawaiian, I think you were trying to say “good luck” at the end of the post…it’s actually laki maika’i in Hawaiian. I love that you tried!

199. Mary said, on May 15th, 2009:

I never leave without my MAC Pro Longwear Lustre LipColour in “Alta Moda”. Its great to bring with you because you wont have to keep reapplying your lipstick.
200. Gina Rodriguez said, on May 15th, 2009:

MAC Fix+ for sure. It NEVER leaves my purse. When I feel my make up needs a touch up I just spray this on my face and it gives me a nice dewey look! I LOVE this product!!!
201. Janeve Yeh said, on May 15th, 2009:

to tell you the honest truth? I haven’t been able to really afford the luxury of MAC…thats why I’m hoping that this little “MAC trip” may introduce me to the wonderful world of MAC products!

209. sarahPUFFY! said, on May 15th, 2009:

Normally I would say my Studio Fix Powder Foundation, but I take MAC’s Flammable Paint everywhere I go. It works as my blush and lip colour; and, when my eyes are looking tired, I add a very tiny amount to the center of my lids (too much and they’ll look red and haggard). Its the perfect brown girl multitasker.

MAC Bronzer to give me that glow!

I love Hawaii! Have a great time!!!
212. Hyzenthlay said, on May 15th, 2009:

I’ve JUST gotten into MAC stuff . . . I’d probably take my Face and Body Foundation because I love the coverage and how it’s buildable. The MAC stuff I have now is professional, which is not a required look for vacation

Hm . . . or I might follow Vampy Varnish’s lead and take my Omega shadow for my eyebrows, and use a tinted moisturizer
213. CeeLo said, on May 15th, 2009:

I have to have the mineralize skinfinish duo. Powder and highlight all in one, it’s perfect for touch ups. I just wish they’d put a mirror in it.
218. Shiny said, on May 15th, 2009:

I have two viva glam palettes, they are great for trips because they are much smaller than carrying lippies, but contain three shades that go with everything. Love it!
219. Victoria said, on May 15th, 2009:

Studio Fix Powder! Can’t go without
220. Susan said, on May 15th, 2009:

Karen….I think that you should take every product that you own, in Mac, because you are bound to need them while on vacation. You never know what you will be wearing and what you feel like on any given day or evening so I say take it all, you cannot go wrong.

My son and soon to be daughter-in law will be going to Hawaii next week and I am so jealous. Have a safe and wonderful time.

I also want to tell you how very much I enjoy your makeup blogs. I am 49 years old and still love makeup and really look forward to hearing everything that you have to say. Thanks again and have a beautiful vacation.
221. Mary said, on May 15th, 2009:

235. Indi said, on May 15th, 2009:

Now this is tough because my two make-up necessities are both MAC. The Lustreglass in Sinnamon is gorgeous and absolutely stunning. I however I would have to pick the MAC Kohl Liner in Smolder for those amazing smokey eyes and winged eye.

belightful highlighting powder is great for trips. on the face, its obviously a beautiful highlighter, but it makes a cool eyeshadow too, and you can use it on your cupids bow for a lip-plumping effect. it’s a great multi-tasking product thanks karen! i hope you have an amazing trip <3
251. Lisa said, on May 15th, 2009:

I’m a “more is better” kind of girl, but you said one product,,,,,so, I can’t go out with only half a brow, therefore I would have to take my MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering. This slim, but mighty pencil gives me the perfect brow in the perfect color, and it’s my secret that there’s only half an overtweezed brow on each side.

Bon Voyage!

I haven’t ever had any MAC either! We aren’t close to anyplace (yeah, we live in a somewhat rural area) that carries it, and I don’t want to buy online w/ out seeing the colors. From the comments though, it sounds like the Studio Sculpt Foundation is a winner!

My MSF Natural definitely. It evens out skin tone, absorbs oil, and is easy to apply! It’s great to have if you just want one face product.
