Buckle up – it’s warp speed ahead for the MAC Star Trek launch, hitting stores in September. This is one for loyal Star Trek fans and collectors, I think, although there are some very wearable shades in the collection. The inspiration for the collection, apart from straight forward inter-galactic fun, is the influence of aesthetics of gender and race. I loved Star Trek as a child – it seemed so impossible and exciting and always had a bit of a girl crush on Lieutenant Uhura as well as Kirk – obviously!
Starting with two of the Lipsticks (from four): Kling-It-On (purple frost with pink glitter) and Llap (rose champagne). I haven’t seen any of the Star Trek movies so I’m dredging my memory from the original TV version and Llap doesn’t have any meaning to me, but how many playground jokes about Kling Ons!!
THIS I will wear! I love it. Bird of Prey is a Pressed Powder Pigment in dark olive green pearl with sparkle, which makes it very shimmery indeed.
Trip The Light Fantastic Face Colour, above, in Strange New Worlds, is described a merge of coral tones but it’s more coppery with golden shimmers. There are two other shades, Luna Lustre (soft rose shimmer) and Highly Illogical (plum with golden pearl).
There are four Lipglass shades coming in the MAC Star Trek collection – this is Set To Stun (great name!) in a silver shimmer with golden pearl. Great as a top coat to glam up any shade underneath.
So, the swatches. From bottom to top: Bird of Prey Pressed Eyeshadow, Strange New Worlds Powder, Superslick Liquid Liner in Pure Show, Set to Stun Lipglass, Kling-It-On Lipstick and Pleasure Planet Lipstick.
The MAC Star Trek will be at all MAC locations and on-line.

I think there are some really good options in this collection. Plus I’m an old school Trekkie! So jealous that this was available as of yesterday on Pre-Sale at Comic-Con in Los Angeles since obviously I couldn’t get any! Not sure how rose champagne-like LLAP looks. Btw, it stands for Live Long and Prosper 🙂 I agree that Bird of Prey looks like a winner. I’m curious about the other 2 Face Colours as well bc I think the shades might be better for me. Thanks for your post!
I’m guessing LLAP is Live Long and Prosper! Thank you for the great swatches, this will be the first time I’ve bought from MAC in years.
Llap – Live long and prosper?
yes you’re right!! I didn’t get it.. someone just told me on Twitter!
The eyeshadow is my fave!! The shade of green is stunning. MAC sets a new bar.
