Prescriptives’ Mineral Color Collection – Mineral Color Lipgloss Review
Saturday, April 11th, 2009
Rose Quartz, Amber
Prescriptives’ Mineral Color Collection features sets for the face (cool/warm) and eyes (cool/warm), a Mineral Bronzer, and four limited edition mineral color lip glosses. I really liked the Mineral Color Lip Glosses ($17.50 each), because they reminded me a lot of MAC’s Dazzleglasses with a few noteworthy differences. Prescriptives’ Mineral Color Lip Glosses are not sticky at all, which for some of you, might be a deciding factor of why you can’t seem to get on the Dazzleglass train. Secondly, Prescriptives’ version is thinner, and I would say perhaps more pigmented, too.
The two I tried were Amber and Rose Quartz. Amber is a rich, coppery sparkle shimmer gloss. I know in the still photo it looks a little off, because it seems flat and just like copper glitter. I will say, like dazzleglasses, you have to see it in real life to appreciate the glittering effects. It just doesn’t capture quite right in still photography!
Rose Quartz is a sheer, milky pastel pink with lots of glitter and sparkle. It reminded me a bit of Baby Sparks from MAC, though perhaps not quite as milky. I’m eager to check out the other two, Amethyst and Sunstone, to see how those compare–both look like they’ll be more along the lines of Amber (aka pigmented), so I can’t wait to swatch!

Can you tell me where I can purchase the amethyst? I just bought it, loved it and lost it. Please help!
I picked these up just because of this post!
Aww, yay!
I picked up amethyst and sandstone today and sandstone looks fantastic over viva glam I :) xx
Ohh good to know! Thanks, Brittany!
Christine, I have to say I noticed you have a couple freckles on your lips which is cool, I have a couple too and I've never noticed it on anyone else!! :)
i have freckles on my toungue lol! i was sent to the doctor to have it checked...
lol! Glad I am not alone :)
I wanted to like these but I couldn't get past the smell of them, like the testers and the ones I got smelt funny, like dirty hands maybe? lol I know it's a weird way of describing but I couldn't get past it so I didn't get them, I'll stick with my dazzleglasses.
LOL! I didn't notice any funny smell, to be honest. I'd say almost scentless?
Amber looks like you had your lips dipped in a bowl of cinnamon (minus the tingly feeling)! :)) Rose Quartz is nice though.. and i think Amber would look nicer when paired with a pinkish brown lipstick.. :]
Amber is great over lipsticks for sure!
They look like gorgeous glosses but dazzleglass is sticky and I prefer that, longer lasting.
I'm intrigued that it's a glittery gloss and also not sticky. hmm...
Amber just looks like you dipped your mouth into a bowl of glitter, but I like Rose Quartz.
LOL! It looks really lovey over lipstick :)
The rose looks nice!
That was my fave too!
Rose Quartz looks really nice - wish we had Prescriptives over here!
I just bought Amethyst yesterday and I love it. I love Dazzleglasses (I bought those too yesterday), but these are just so much nicer.
I can't wait to check out the other two shades :D
Oh these are soooo pretty! :)
They feel amazing, too!
Amber looks a lot like Miss Dynamite Dazzleglass which most do look better layered over lipstick or a neutral lipgloss.
Agreed!
I think Amber looks sooo gross on bare lips! Is that just me?!
I agree. It looks grainy.
It looks chunky, because you can't see it sparkling - I don't think it looks fantastic alone, but it's not terrible, LOL.
Rose Quartz looks really nice!
