MAC Dazzleglass Creme Swatches and Review








This is my most-awaited collection for fall, and I am really ecstatic over these new Dazzleglass cremes. As the name suggests, these are a marriage of the dazzleglass and early this year's offering, the cremesheen glass. The dazzleglass is an obvious hit, but the cremesheen glass didn't get a lot of good reviews, so I think this new offering is the new and improved cremesheen glass. I am a dazzleglass addict, but I like the dazzleglass creme better because it is a bit more pigmented with the same amazing glass-like shine with soft sparkles of reflects glitter. The dazzleglass creme has outstanding shine and medium-sheer, dewy coverage that is just super addicting!! MAC also claims that it contains aloe and Vitamin E, which pamper the lips and prevent them from drying or peeling. The product glides smoothly on the lips without any drag. I also like the brush applicator as opposed to doe-foot sponge.

I use more neutral lip colors because I like to pair them with more dramatic eyes, so the light-colored dazzleglass creams really beckoned me. Sublime Shine is a beautiful light coral brown with gold pearl which is my favorite among the lighter colored dazzleglass cremes. Perfectly Unordinary is a bright yellow pink with gold pearl which I believe would suit my complexion as it also has a lot of yellow tones. Soft Dazzle is a mid-tone peach pink with gold pearl. I don't know why I crave these colors when I know they're going to be very similar to each other when worn, but I couldn't help myself. I know that they can be dupes of each other so having them is like having backups, considering that these products get consumed so quickly.

I also love the darker ones because they are like liquid lipsticks and the shine is absolutely amazing. Amorous is a deep brown red with pearl that looks scary in the tube but pigmented but not in-your-face when worn. Amorous turns into a beautiful cinnamon-y color on the lips, perfect for fall. Do It Up is a light blue pink with pearl that is gorgeous by itself without a lipstick underneath. I am getting Totally Fab which is a bright yellow red with pearl too. My Favourite Pink is a light blue pink with pearl that is so pretty, but very similar to many others in my stash. Luscious Spark is a light orange with gold pearl that is okay but I am not really drawn to it.

All in all, if you love the dazzleglasses, you will most probably like these too. As always, my main gripe is that the price is a bit too much for a .06 oz. of product. The only thing I can think of which can probably lessen the damage on the wallet is to Back-2-MAC for these. MAC counters like those in Nordstrom or Macy's don't give dazzleglass cremes in exchange for empties, but my local freestanding store does. So check out your local retailers for their back-2-MAC policies.

Amorous looks like it has my name on it :) Creme Allure is nice, too. How well do you like Sublime Shine on you?

Phyrra- Amorous is so you! :D Sublime Shine is very similar to Bare Necessities dazzleglass. I compared both and one can dupe the other. I love the brown-pink tint, though.
