7 Must-Have MAC Dazzleglasses

7 Must-Have MAC Dazzleglasses

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.

Smile dazzleglass is a shimmery confection of peachy gloss with pink and gold pearl shimmer. Just a natural/easy-to-wear kind of color.

Steppin’ Out dazzleglass is a pretty in pink shade with lighter pink shimmer. It’s not really a hot pink, though it looks like it; it’s more wearable, because the formula runs sheer.

Love Alert dazzleglass is a deeper, more opaque raspberryish-pink shade with subtle dazzle shimmer. Looks almost like a lip stain.

Funtabulous dazzleglass is a fuchsia-purple shade with light and bright purple shimmer reflects in it. This is fabulous layered over hot pink and purple lipsticks.

See three more must-haves!

Extra Amps dazzleglass is an incredibly shimmering, dazzling pale pink with light pink reflects. This one has a lot of “dazzle” effect on the lips.

Money Honey dazzleglass is a medium with a little kick, mauvey pink with lots of similar toned glitter reflects. This has always been one of my favorites, because it is incredibly wearable.

Baby Sparks dazzleglass is a milky pink gloss base with almost multicolored reflects glinting in it.

What are your favorite dazzleglasses?

I am in love with Money, Honey since this is the first Dazzleglass I bought. I also have a couple others. Baby Sparks is really nice on lips and I love the glitter in this one and steppin’ out (that I just got) gives me a perfect pink pout. I’d like to put my hand on Extra Amps now :p

oh and Christine, could you do a Must have on the lustreglasses ? Lustreglasses are just so beautiful, I’d love to see your pick ^^

I already have Steppin` Out and Money Honey, Love Alert wasn´t a flattering colour on me so I gave it away. I can´t wait for DD to arrive in the Swedish MAC-“stores”. I´m definitly getting at least 3 more shades.

I bought Love Alert and Steppin’ Out, love ’em…. but I don’t know if it’s only me, but it seems like I’m going through the gloss quickly – like it’s not lasting me long :S

I know !! I’ve used it a couple of times, but not that much and suddenly i look at the tube and I was like “OMG I used THAT much ?”

But I think that there isn’t much in a tube, there’s less than in a lipglass tube : we’re being ripped off !!

Yes, i think everyone is dealing with this. If anyone has looked at their dazzleglass tube right out of the box, you will notice it seems to be already missing some product. i thought mine had been used, but the MA said they are all like that. Not sure the reason behind it, but i am definitely blowing through these quicker than lipglasses which stinks cause they cost more. ERRRR…..

Jen Avatar

Same here! This has happened with some of my lipglasses too, I used my Lightswitch a few times and it’s literally at the halfway point. >:(

Me too… i think those are in my top 3 faves (so hard to choose JUST one!)

now if only dazzleglasses came with more product… 🙁

I just got my Goldyrocks today, and it looks gorgeous! …though it wasn’t exactly the gold shade I was looking for. Smile instantly caught my attention, and since it’s not limited edition I’m going to take my time to get it. 🙂 I was surprised that Rags to Riches seemed a lot pinkier than I initially thought. Other than that MAC did not decide to re-release Comet Blue I’m very satisfied with all the dazzleglasses that came out this time!

I have Smile & Funtabulous and I am so in love with both these colors. I really want to get Extra Amps & Money Honey.

Did anyone see the new dazzleglasses coming out in the Euristocrats collection??? OMG – they are so gorgeous. Spotted them online & they are gorgeous.

My dazzleglass favorites are: Utterly posh, get rich quick, goldyrocks, like venus, love alert, and funtabulous. I’m going to really miss Utterly posh and goldyrocks since they are LE. :0(

I love Date Night, Utterly Posh, and Funtabulous. A pink, a purple, and a coral! I’ll probably be buying refills of each color soon…sigh…they just go so quickly!

For some reason I thought you were going to have Rag to Riches d/l, since to me when I saw them at the counter it looked like is the most sparkly one. Btw, I just registered to your site.

Jen Avatar

I have Bare Necessity and Baby Sparks. I would not have picked up BN but my MUA had me try it over Spirit and it was amazing. I actually use it more than Baby Sparks which was the one I went in to purchase! Isn’t it funny how they truly know best, it’s like listening to your Mom!

Can you help rec a dazzleglass, or whatever glass that doesn’t add much color to my lip colors but has gold glitters in it?
I looking for something like bling black glimmerglass (from style black) but not black, just the gold glitter and glass. Thanks!

Hi Christine!
I love how Dazzleglasses look but I wouldn’t know which one(s) to buy. :\
I think they’d look hot on a night out. 😀
Can you recommend me a pink (not too pale/light) and a coral-y one?
Thanks! 🙂

Sri Avatar

wow… I’m new to MAC and absolutely love my only one dazzleglass, steppin’ out
oh, so tempting to buy another Dazzle’s shades.. 😀

May I asking? What’s the difference between Dazzleglass and Dazzleglass Creme? are Dazzleglass Cremes worth to buy?
