6 Must-Have MAC Plushglasses

6 Must-Have MAC Plushglasses

About the Temptalia Must-Haves Series
A series of posts showcasing must-have products from MAC Cosmetics’ permanent line of products. Selections are based on quality, universality, uniqueness amongst the line, and the like. Limited edition shades are deliberately excluded to make buying easier. Readers’ comments act as a supplement to these lists of their favorites and must-haves. You can find the entire series here.

Oversexed plushglass is a sheer, glossy raspberryish shade. It’s not too bright, but it isn’t a dark shade either. It’s one of the more pigmented plushglasses available, as it is deep enough in color to transfer onto lips.

Big Baby plushglass is a sheer peachy-pink shade, kind of a light pink-coral, with just a little bit of pearl shimmer. I like this one for layering over lipsticks!

Big Kiss plushglass is a light pink shade with coral undertones and subtle gold shimmer. This is always a nice color to add on top of pink and coral lipsticks for a lot of glossiness.

See three more!

Posh It Up plushglass is a sheer, peachy-toned pink with soft gold shimmer. This is a particularly good color for everyday, easy-to-wear color during the summer.

Ample Pink plushglass is a sheer, creamy pinky-nude beige with high glossy shine. It’s not one of the sheerest shades of plushglass, but it’s not opaque either.

Pretty Plush plushglass is a sheer gloss with lots of yellow-gold shimmer. When applied to lips, it’s going to provide mostly the gold shimmer, rather than any color from the gloss itself.

What are your favorite plushglasses?

Mi favourite plushglasses are Wet wild wonderful, posh it up, plus luxe and Fullfilled. I love the hot-frozen-pepper sensation in my lips

I love Ample Pink, I wear it when I want to feel girlie 🙂

I also have Angel Cream, a light baby pink that is so sheer that it hardly has any colour pay off.

I have Big Baby and Ample Pink! Big Baby is very sheer on my lips, it just has a slight peachy shimmer to it. I love Ample pink because it’s a perfect everyday lip colour and it’s a little more opaque.

Wow, same here! Pretty plush was my very first MAC purchase ever. It’s so sheer, goes so pretty with almost everything! I love to use it with Benetint underneath, and it gives a natural bitten-red color to my lips!

Of the must haves I own Big Baby, Big Kiss and Ample Pink (I love all three). Another one I have which I really like is Power Supply, which goes great with “Red she Said” lipstick. Plushglass is my favorite MAC gloss, but I do have a few of the lipglasses as well.

They give that sheer look that says “I’m a Victoria’s Secret Angel” super girly and effortless. Plus, the MAC MA’s always ask me which lip gloss I’m wearing when I walk in, which is their plushglass in wildly lush. But I love fulfilled for just a wet look. I’m hoping to buy Ample Pink too! 🙂 These colors show up a lot because I have very fair lips. What you see in the bottle is usually what I get on my lips. So most of the colors you suggest are MUCH too dark on me.

Oversexed = <3!! The color, the feel, THE NAME. Its sexy, delicious looking, and makes my lips plush-er than they already are x)

The only one I just got today is the Posh It Up because my favorite person on YouTube raves about it 🙂 I like it so far!
