MAC Audible, Bracelets Galore, & Deep Set Lipglasses Reviews & Swatches
Audible
MAC Audible Lipglass ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium, peachy orange with very fine, gold pearl over a cream finish. It was more of a cream finish than a shimmery gloss, though. It had good color coverage in a single layer that applied evenly without streaking, but the downside was there was some product that pulled into my deeper lip lines. The shinier finish helped to make that appear less noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The consistency was smooth, light-medium in thickness with a lightweight feel, and had moderate tackiness. It lasted well for five hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$21.00/0.1 oz. - $210.00 Per Ounce
The Lipglass formula is supposed to be “pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic color” that can be worn “on its own, over lip pencil or lipstick” and will “condition lips.” MAC could use an update on the description as some shades are more pigmented than others but several are sheerer and likely intended to be that way. The formula has a very glossy, high-shine finish with a light-medium weight and moderate tackiness.
I have found that newer Lipglasses (over the last couple of years) are smoother and not quite as tacky as the formula was many years ago. They wear from three to six hours on me and are usually lightly hydrating. MAC recently updated the shade range and packaging for the range (though the formula was said to be unchanged), so worth noting is that with that packaging change came a reduction in quantity to 0.10 fl. oz. (was 0.17 fl. oz.), which may matter for some but not everyone.

Bracelets Galore
MAC Bracelets Galore Lipglass ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with very subtle, cool undertones and cooler pink sparkle and pearl. It had semi-sheer color payoff in a single layer, and this shade was described as “sheer” by the brand, so it wasn’t too far off. The gloss had a lightweight feel, but it was thicker than the average gloss with moderate stickiness, which helped to stay in place longer. Some of the color sank into my lip lines and was only noticeable from a normal viewing distance after the gloss started to wear down (when the shine dissipated). It wore well for five hours and was moisturizing over time.

Deep Set
MAC Deep Set Lipglass ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a deep, purplish-plum with subtle, warm undertones and multi-colored pearl–it primarily flashed green and teal to my eye. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly across my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. The texture was noticeably tacky but spread easily across my lips and was comfortable to wear as it was lightweight, despite feeling thicker. It stayed on well for five hours and was hydrating while worn.

I had a strong feeling that Deep Set would review well based on your preview lip swatches! So, depending on how I feel after my late afternoon appointment, I will try to stop into my local MAC store to buy it. Especially since I’ve been kicking myself for not buying Fenty Gal On The Moon last year!
These are too glittery for me, but I like how Deep Set looks on the lips. I find it funny that the shade called Audible is such a quiet color!
This is one of those lip glosses that I can see myself lusting over, buying, then never actually using. I like the idea of me in this shade but not the reality of me in this shade.
I really love Deep Set.
For anyone unsure about Deep Set, check out the Jordana Holographic Cosmic Glow lip gloss in Iridescent Purple. It looks very similar, perhaps a bit cooler toned.
Is Deep Set not out yet? I can’t find it online.
It might be sold out? I’m not sure!
Oh no! It’s so gorgeous and I just can’t find it online anywhere. I’ll keep looking
I loved audible. Is such a nice, warm color with no shimmer.
