Aloha, girls! Did you know that Hawaii is the only US state in which coffee is grown?
El Hub and I are really looking forward to seeing our family. My in-laws live in a town called Kaneohe on the Eastern side of the island of Oahu. It’s the wetter side of the island than the South side where Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor are, but that makes it lush and fragrant.
Over the next 10 days, we have A LOT of great guest posts lined up, 10 days of giveaways, and I have a few other surprises in store, too. 🙂
Now, for this morning’s giveaway…
The prize
Today’s giveaway takes YOU on a trip — a MAC Trip!
One lucky lady will win the MAC Trip 4 Classic Eye and Cheek Palette ($30). This rare, hard-to-find travel exclusive palette features Sweetness Beauty Powder Blush (a clean pink), Lightfully Eyeshadow (a pale icy pink with silvery pearl), Idol Eyes Eyeshadow (an icy gray violet with golden pearl) and Print Eyeshadow (a muted gray).
How to enter
To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment in the comments section below telling me the name of one MAC product that’s great to have with you on trips.

Karen

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)!!
The Bargainista says
MAC 187 hands down! I can use it for foundation, powder, blush, you name it! 🙂
Amanda says
I always bring my Mac pressed powder compact. Just a few swipes makes me look as fresh and shine-free as I did that morning!

Nina says
Well I only have one MAC product, Florabundance lipglass! So I’d take that!
Sandy Dibbell says
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.

NINA says
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!
RuBie says
My MAC charged water to refresh my skin!
Bobbie Sue says
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

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]
Michelin says
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.
Marissa says
I bring my Studio Finish Concealer – I love going on trips, but unfortunately my skin does not.
Steph says

TaLaisa says
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.

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.

It’ll be with me when I go to Puerto Rico soon, hayyy!
Ri says
I always bring my Love Lorn lustre LIpstick with me, it’s amazing

The first thing i packed was Show Orchid L/s, a great colour, especially when i am getting a nice tan.
Lou says
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.

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! 🙂

sarahPUFFY! says
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.
sarahPUFFY!´s last blog post..UDPP Sin: Just As Good As The Original
Alex says
MAC Bronzer to give me that glow!
Christina says
I think I would say my Studio Fix Powder. =)
I love Hawaii! Have a great time!!!
Hyzenthlay says
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 🙂

Pearl Creme Color base – can use on eyelids/hi lite cheeks & tons of more things plus its small & not liquid so its not a problem – Multiple uses.
MelCH says
i always need my 187 brush w/ me….for my foundation and blush!
Kanita says
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.
Shiny says
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!
Victoria says
Studio Fix Powder! Can’t go without
Susan says
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.
Mary says
I’d have to say my MAC travel brushes (holiday collection); they’re compact and so easy to take with me everywhere.

My MAC Heirloom eyeliner. Goes with everything. I LOVE it.
Airess says
One MAC product that is pretty great to have with you anywhere is the Love Nectar Lustreglass it is the perfect peachy shade that’s great with any look and it’s the perfect consistency it’s not to thick and it’s not runny either!!!

Indi says
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. 🙂
Julia(Bazardefille) says

Have a wonderful trip Karen!
Linda says
Mac 188 =D
June says
I just got tinted lip conditioner in pink fish
its my frist TLC but im deff in love with it, it
smells and feels so amazing on the lips.So it would
be the perfect thing to keep lips soft and kissable;)
on trips ur lips can get dry from the weather change.
Laddie says
I never leave home without a Dazzleglass with me. It just makes my lips all glammed up 🙂
JillyB says

Graphic brown. Word.
Jayme says
All That Glitters shadow, of course!
L says
I always bring my mac mineralized skinfinish in medium, however, it never travels well :S It’s going to have a rough trip to san fran next 😛
cutie_pie says
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
Lisa says
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!
Lydia says
MSF!
NadiaG says
Can you believe that I have never EVER tried MAC? It’s a shame. And I LOVE makeup. That’s why I have to win this 😛

Always keep a travel size lotion in your purse, their is nothing worse than being ashy and not having any lotion.

I just got into MAC since my last trip, but on my next one I will be sure to take my bare canvas paint so that my eyeshadow stays on all day.

Patrice Mantovani says
MAC 266 Small Angled Brush: I use it to apply powder eye liner for a daytime work look and I double its use as an eyebrow powder applicator. Great giveaway, Karen!
CecilyT says
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!

Hi Karen! I was just in Kaneohe yesterday! You’re right.. it always rains there, but it’s the most green part of the island. I love driving on the H3 just to take in the scenery! And, I always take my MAC 188 brush with me!

Amber says
Best MAC product to have with you is lipglass, you always want to have a pretty pout while on vacation!
Holly says
“retrospek” eyeshadow!! just enough shimmer to make my eyes look not-dead lol!
Michelle says
Gah! So difficult.
Ok. One product. While I want to say lipglass (hello pouty, glossy, shimmery lips!) I’m going to go with my Shape & Sculpt powder… perfect for contouring & highlighting and, if you’re in a pinch, they can double as eyeshadows!
Andrea says
MSF natural, followed closely by 208 brush (good for both brows and liner!!)
Shivotra says
star nova lipglass <3
Brendaq says

Alyssa says
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (in Medium) is great for quick touch ups.
Michelle says
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.
McKenzie says
Definitely MAC pro longlash mascara. Even if I’ve got no other make up on, a little mascara really does the trick.

I would definitely have to say my MAC mineralize blush in intenso. It can give me color and a sort of bronzer so I at least have color on my face no matter what.
