Lipglass: A Quiet Roar, Schemer
MAC Fabulous Felines: Leopard Luxe Review, Photos, Swatches (Lips & Cheek)
Here is part two! Be sure to read part one.
Lipglass ($14.50 U.S. / $17.50 CDN)
- A Quiet Roar is a very pale white gold on lips. It looks a little off to me when I wear it alone, but it could be used to layer over other shades. It reminded me of Almondine (Spring Colour Forecast).
- Schemer is a sheer orange base with flecks of copper and ambered gold shimmer. I found it applied pretty unevenly, and even though I tried to make it even, I couldn’t quite get there. I’d use it as a layering gloss rather than alone. This is very, very similar to Gold Dust (Spring Colour Forecast). This one seems a little more pigmented.
- Wildly Refined is a pinky brown with multicolored shimmer–lots of pink and peach shimmer. It’s semi-opaque and has a very frosty/shimmery finish.
Lipstick ($14.50 U.S. / $17.50 CDN)
- Drive Me Wild is a reddened coral with gold sheen in a cremesheen finish. Like the other cremesheen finishes in this launch, it doesn’t feel like the typical cremesheen–creamier, smoother, more moisturizing. It reminded me of an orange version of Rose Maiden (Spring Colour Forecast).
- Out Minxed is a sheer whitish shade with lots of multicolored glitter/shimmer with slight yellow undertones in a glaze finish. It’s similar to Liquid Lurex except less glittery and multicolored.
- Powerful is an orange-y copper shade with lots of gold and copper glitter in a dazzle finish. As far as I can tell, it’s pretty much a dead ringer for Infused with Glam. Maybe a smidgen darker, but I don’t think so.
- The Prowl is a semi-sheer red-tinged brown with a glossy, lustre finish. It has flecks of copper and amber shimmer in it. I did find that I had to be careful about pressing my lips together, because the color would look blotchy/streaky easily.
Mineralize Blush ($21.00 U.S. / $25.00 CDN)
- Utterly Game is a peachy orange with very subtle sheen and no real shimmer (maybe a couple flecks here and there). It can be built up for a more intense look quite easily, so I’d actually use a light hand if you’re on the fairer side. I saw this on an artist at the store and thought she looked lovely, and she was very pale, but I didn’t love it on me – just made me look a little burnt, ha!

how would you compare utterly game mineralize blush to peaches blush?! thanks christine!
Very orange, not similar.
hi christine! Do you happen to remember what lip color you were wearing in the last picture? Thanks Absolutely LOVE your work!!!
Would you say Drive me Wild is like Thrills without the bronzed effect? I was comparing your photos of the two, and I already own thrills. I was considering getting drive me wild but I was unsure because they seemed very similar.
Yes!
Hi! In the last picture with Utterly Game, what lip product are you wearing? :) I really love it, and I'm going to a MAC store tomorrow, so I'd like to pick it up!
Wildly Refined!
I think that blush looks wonderful on you!
Thanks, Shannon!
Hi Christine...I'm NW25. Do you think Utterly Game would give me that burnt look or look orange? I have a problem with that sometimes.
It might - I would probably pass!
Hi! I read your blog constantly and never purchase anything without looking at your swatches! Thanks! This is the first time I've commented. I have a question - how does "Drive Me Wild" lipstick compare to "Thrills" from the summer "To the Beach" collection? I have thrills and don't want to purchase "Drive Me Wild" if they are close. Thanks again.
I find Drive Me Wild a lot redder/more coral than Thrills, which is very coppery. Thanks!
Hey Christine, I'm NC45 and I'm torn between Pet Me and Utterly Game, I'd love to have both, but are both shades wearable for my skintone? I will check it out in person, of course, but some informed feedback would help. Thanks!
Utterly Game over Pet Me, more because Pet Me is pigmented but not RICHLY so, and I think it might look rather light on you, while Utterly Game is more pigmented.
Awesome, thank you! I hoping one day to find a non-sparkly pink that looks just right on me, but in the meantime I think I'll be happy with utterly posh.
Is it just me or does "Drive Me Wild" look like a less glittery version of "Thrills" from To The Beach?
It's a lot redder/coral. I don't find them similar at all -- especially on lips!
Hi Christine, Do you think Utterly Game is similar to Peaches?
Darker, more orange, less peach!
Utterly Game mineralize blush will probably look better on those that are maybe a little lighter/fair, it barely showed on your skin Christine =-(, but still I think it is a very lovely color. =-)
Oh, it's pigmented - I just wore it lightly! Otherwise it looked rather orange on me!
Hey Christine, your NC 25 right? I am NC 25 and I am torn between utterly game and pet me. You think pet me will look better?
I like Pet Me best :)
I thought I'd ordered everything I wanted, but now I'm loving Wildly Refined and Utterly Game. They look gorgeous.
whoaaa!! you look so pretty Christine. You are a beautiful model by the way love drive wild and the utterly game blush. Thanks, for your hard work!!
Thank you!! :)
these colors are nice would get the lip glass and save money for ud book of shawdows do you know how much its gonna be
The Book of Shadows is $56, I believe!
Christine can you please swatch Ripe Peach and Utterly Game together? I heard they're very similar. I'm so gonna buy Utterly game I missed out on Ripe peach!!
They're not at all similar, IMO - Ripe Peach has pink to it, Utterly Game is just peach and orange.
Thank you Christine! But will still check them out.
drive me wild is an exact replica of Pret a Papier lipglass
hi christine! I was wondering what blush you are wearing on your cheeks? Thanks!
Utterly Game!
drive me wild is perfect!!
A Quiet Roar reminds me of the discontinued Elaborate lipglass from Moonbathe...
I WANT Drive Me Wild. I want it so bad. It's so lovely!
how does drive me wild l/s compare to jest l/s? I have and love jest and they look like they might be similar..Thanks!
Much, much redder!
Huge YUCK to Quiet Roar! As beautiful as your lips are, I can't imagine that one looking good on anyone!
Dang, the MAC designers are clearly running out of ideas here. I guess they've pumped out so many collections that they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. Maybe they should focus on quality and wearable colors (mustard gold lipglass, glittery frosty nude lipstick, really?) instead of just quantity of collections. Makes me sad to see the direction MAC is going, with it's careless marketing of Rodarte, and now this crappy collection. :(
Powerful is pretty. Too bad it has a glittery finish. I hate glitter
I'm so disappointed in Drive me wild! I was really hoping that it would be a pinkier coral, rather than more reddish undertones :/
wow. nothing caught my eye. lucky for my money.
Drive Me Wild is gorgeous!!!
I keep coming back to look at Drive Me Wild! Unsure about it. How many swipes did you make on your lips to get it that pigmented?
Maybe 2 or so? I wasn't layering all day at least :P
I must have Drive Me Wild! Can you do a swatch comparison with Powerful and Infused With Glam?
You can click on the link to Infused with Glam to see a swatch of it!
