The Scarlet Season: MAC Check Please Lipglass
MAC Check Please Lipglass ($14.00 for 0.17 oz.) is just a sexy bright red lip with the slightest reddish-gold shimmer laced through a rather opaque red base. It’s definitely one of those, “Yeah, my lips are sexy, what are you going to do about it?” kind of shades. It’s one of my favorite lipglasses ever, because the formula is so smooth, rich, and easy to apply. I really wish MAC would re-release this shade or launch one just like it (I’m down with a dupe!), because it is truly a stunning red. The closest permanent shade would be Russian Red, but I’d say you’d have to add a smidgen of Desire to really get something similar.
The Scarlet Season is a series of posts showcasing and featuring my favorite shades of red lips–from glosses to lipsticks that runs through December 2009. You can sure expect to see a lot of red this holiday season!

By the way, what collection is this from?
Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Great color!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Isn’t it?! :)

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I know! I am hoping MAC releases an awesome red soon!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
This is gorgeous!!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I know! Silly MAC, repromote this!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I LOVE this colour! Could you think of something similar in a lipstick? I hate that mac only has like 1 permanent red lipglass!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Dubonnet, maybe. Kind of similar, but it’s hard to get that thick, glossy look with a lipstick.

This is a pretty shade of red and another show stopper, but it Chanel Dragon is still my favourite so far. Check Please reminds me of maraschino cherries, it is cute.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Dragon is still my favorite, too, but there are lots of other reds to have fun with, too. Check, Please included!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
this is gorgeous! MAC should really make some of their LE colors permanent!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I sooo agree!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
So pretty, I love it! Is Chanel Dragon still the leading red?
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Yes, I have yet to come across a better, more suiting red than Dragon (obviously, I can only judge inasmuch on me!).
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
pretty :)
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Agreed!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
This one truly rocks.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Do you have one for yourself, Sadie? or can we add your name to the petition to get it re-released? :P
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
This is beautiful! MAC should definitely repromote this!
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
I know! C’mon, MAC!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Oh my god, Christine, this is stunning. I’m totally serious about a petition for its rerelease! Heehee. Your lips look super sexy in this!
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Thank you, Chess! :) *crosses fingers for re-release*
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
beautiful color! you love your red lipsticks and gold eyeshadows-you are so meant to be a blushing indian bride =)
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Awww! :)
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
hey christine, could you do a scarlet season post on MAC’s Lady Danger?
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
I actually decided not to include — it’s a wee bit too orange than I’d like for the series, but also I have more than enough MAC shades (both LE and permanent) for the series!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I’m in love! Gimme that petition! :P
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Haha!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Grrr, stop featuring discontinued things! I get so excited and then I can’t purchase it!
Ah well. I suppose it’s better for my bank account, anyway :)
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
LOL! When I first started the series, I was torn between only permanent or including some limited edition. Since I figured, at the end of the day, it’s more about all the different reds available… and how texture can play a part in how it looks… I went with it. But also because I love too many LE reds and wanted them to get some lurve!
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Stunning (as always dear). I also want MAC to re-release it, though I know I can’t pull it off XD but CP rocks so much that I want to own one.
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
I know – I bought it and I was like, “I’m *never* going to wear it,” but couldn’t resist!
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Love it! Thanks for reminding me about this color! I have it but haven’t used it in a while.
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
No problem! Definitely dig it out :)
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
I love the color and I love the name!!
Thursday, November 12, 2009
Haha, I know! It’s such a great name for a red!

I’m scared to try red lips because I’m so used to nudes & pinks. Plus I’m afraid that I’ll look like a clown. What red lipstick/lipgloss do you suggest for someone who’s of Filipino descent, medium skin & dark brown/black hair?
Saturday, November 14, 2009
Dubonnet or Viva Glam I! :)

This color is so pretty!! True red with gold sparkle? I want one too and I hardly want any lip product anymore. It’s really hard having your eye on something and knowing you’ll never get it, but i guess that’s why MAC’s so successful with its “limited” strategy!
