MAC Magic, Mirth, & Mischief Sneak Peek

Sneak Peek: MAC Magic, Mirth, & Mischief

For the holidays, MAC’s Magic, Mirth, & Mischief has a whole slew of new mineralize eyeshadows, but we’ll also be seeing some new shades of dazzleglass, including the two pictured here.

  • Phiff A light, beige-nude with lots of silver-peach micro glitter. I wasn’t super impressed by this one; it was a little lackluster–it doesn’t impart any color on me, and the glitter color doesn’t change up colors that much. It was like a darker, peachy version of Bare Necessity.
  • She-Zam A pale, silver-gray with a blue cast and gray-blue micro glitter. This one reminded me a lot of some previous lipglasses like Lightning and Pas-de-deux. It’s a nice shade, just because it can be layered on top of lipsticks to add a different dimension of color.

  • Product: 8/10
  • Value: 6/10
  • Ease of Use: 8/10
  • Packaging: 6/10
  • Overall: 7/10

Recommendation: If you love dazzleglasses, you’ll love these, too. The glitter is the same, and the colors are sheer like previous shade releases. I did feel likethese went on a little smoother and less sticky compared to other dazzleglasses, though.  I still find these low on value (because you pay $4 more for less product than a lipglass–like half!), and as a result, I’m not a big fan of the oversized packaging with not much in it.

Have you picked up these new shades yet?

Pass. Thanks for posting swatches!

I bought She-Zam from ACW and I love it! :) Definitely not worth it at full retail price but not so bad at ACW prices imo

I was so excited to she-zam i thought it would be a gorgeous color id fall in love with and buy like 7 million backups now, im dissapointed in it :|

I"m not feeling these two. They are very very sheer. Almost clear. I have other dazzleglasses that I like more so I'll pass on these. However.. when the whole collection comes out, I'm sure there will be some gorgeous combination and they will be in my kit. I over think everything!

Love the names... but the colours are so-so.

Tbh I dont get the fuss over dazzleglass =/ especially because theyre crazy expensive here in Aus so I wouldnt spend that much on a lip gloss

mmm not so fond of the silver specks for an everyday look :( makes me feel like i have dirty lips =/

I also just received both of these dazzleglasses and love them both. I used Phiff over Madly Creative and it was very pretty. I like it because it isn't "in your face." She-Zam is gorgeous - haven't used it yet but swatched it and I bet it would look great over Lavender Whip. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the review. I never liked Phiff b/c it looks too sheer but I did had my eye on She-Zam....and less than 2 months ago I picked up Pas-de-Deux at my CCO...so now She-Zam is off my list!

Hmmm. She-Zam will have to be a swatch and decide. Phiff is a definite pass.

i am really unimpressed with the dazzleglasses. the prices are high, the colors are sheer and the gloss is sticky. oh dear =/

She-Zam looks gorgeous! I'll probably end up with two of them while Phiff, I'll only get one.

"I still find these low on value (because you pay $4 more for less product than a lipglass–like half!), and as a result, I’m not a big fan of the oversized packaging with not much in it." My reason why I own zero dazzleglass. 2.4 ml of product for 19€ (=27$) at Mac France. I'm not a skinflint but that price is a joke.

She-Zam still looks like one I'll pick up.

Wow, so many cosmetic products look great in their package and absolutely unimpressive on the face...

Yeah, I think I'll pass on these. Nothing from the collection has really caught my eye yet.

I purchased both of these from ACW and received them today. Prior to purchasing, I was more partial to Phiff. It seemed like such a gorgeous color. After swatching, Phiff did nothing for me but She-Zam just stood out. I will layer it with some of my lavender lipsticks or my silver one on days when I'm feeling adventurous;)

Pass for me. I have too many Dazzleglass and these don't offer anything exciting.

Availibility: Zoya.com Really?

I loved these in the pictures and they were on my must get list for the collection, but after reading this I think I'm going to skip. Happy to hear it wasn't just me scooping quickly through the glosses, but that there is actually less product in the tubes - not happy with how little there is in dazzleglasses.

I meant need Phiff lol

would you say if you had Bare Necessity you didn't Phiff ?

I love the look of she-zam, I think it will look HOT layered over a darkish red lipstick!

Thanks! I'm saving some money since I don't need these.

these are quite light i like the effect of she-zam which colours do you think this silver dazzelglass would have a nice effect christine? ps thanks for the posts :)

Fizzle and crash. Thanks for warning me.

I love my dazzleglasses but these shades do nothing to me, nothing AT ALL :( Thanks for the swatches :)
