MAC A Sprinkle of Magic Lipstick
MAC A Sprinkle of Magic Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “dirty orange nude [with a Frost finish].” It’s a muted, medium pink-coral with fine gold shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a thinner texture than the average Frost finish has, but the thinness seemed to emphasize the natural texture of the lips. The color went on fairly evenly, but I had some color pull into lip lines after two hours of wear. The color lasted for three and a half hours in total, and I found it a bit drying overall. Tom Ford Beauty Skinny Dip (P, $55.00) is more shimmery, darker, warmer (90% similar). MAC Supreme Style (LE, $17.00) is glossier (90% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Julianne (LE, $36.00) is more shimmery, cooler (90% similar). Too Faced Sugar Daddy (DC, $22.00) is lighter (85% similar).

Guerlain Gems (DC, $58.00) is more shimmery, darker, cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
MAC Among the Fireflies Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “soft mocha [with a Cremesheen finish].” It’s a muted, medium-dark brown with warm, rosy tones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage with good, even application and a lightly creamy texture. This shade wore well for four hours and was neither drying nor hydrating for me. MAC Double Shot (P, $19.00) is darker (90% similar). Make Up For Ever C107 (DC, $22.00) is lighter, less glossy (90% similar). Hourglass Influencer (P, $32.00) is lighter (90% similar).

MAC Gossamer Wing Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “dirty beige with gold pearl [with a Lustre finish].” It’s a milky beige with fine gold shimmer. It had sheer coverage, but it did noticeably lighten my lips. Unfortunately, the lighter color paired with the emollient, Lustre formula made sure the color settled into lip lines. The color lasted an hour and a half on me, and after wearing it twice in a row, it was lightly drying. This would be better as a layering shade, though the shimmer is fine so it may get lost in any thicker lipstick underneath it. Too Faced Shimmering Naked Dolly (DC, $22.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). MAC Free as a Butterfly (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery (90% similar).

MAC Warm Companion (LE, $19.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Guerlain Yellow It-stick (603) (DC, $37.00) is warmer (85% similar). ColourPop Jic (P, $6.00) is more shimmery (85% similar). NARS Redemption (LE, $29.00) is more shimmery, darker (80% similar). MAC All I Want (LE, $19.00) is more shimmery, darker (80% similar). Tom Ford Beauty David (DC, $36.00) is more shimmery, darker (80% similar). MAC Oh, Yes Baby (P, $19.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
MAC Midsummer Night Lipstick ($16.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “mid-tone coral nude [with a Cremesheen finish].” It’s a light-medium, peachy brown with warm undertones and a soft shine. It had semi-opaque color coverage with a lightly creamy texture that is easier to apply once it warms up against the heat of the lips. The texture is thin and pulls into lip lines over time. It lasted for three hours and was lightly drying. Bite Beauty Caramel (DC, $28.00) is darker (95% similar). MAC Soft Pout (P, $23.00) is lighter (95% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Severine (112) (DC, $30.00) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Freckletone (P, $19.00) is darker (85% similar). Urban Decay Naked 2 (DC, $22.00) is lighter (95% similar).

I like Among the Fireflies. I love Nude Nuance and this looks like a less peachy version, will go well with some nude blushes I have in my stash
Awesome!
Eh, I only like the brown one 😀
Lucky for you! 🙂
I love all 4! This collection is speaking to me on so many levels, I think the last time I’ve been in love with a collection so much was when A Novel Romance collection came out last year… Love love love it!
Oh, wow!
I think these all look really beautiful, but I think I can skip… trying a low-buy for the end of 2015 and into 2016! hahaha
Stay strong!!
For obvious reasons, I am loving Among The Fireflies, as these types of shades, even families of shades such as plummy brown, burgundy brown, dark nudes, all call to me. I know that I’m either getting this or a backup of MAC RR lipstick!
I do wish that Gossamer Wing was more intensely shimmery and better pigmented to use as a topper, though. Could’ve been beautiful!
Mariah Carey’s lipstick did it better, lol!
Among the Fireflies is really pretty. Will have to try it on at counter. I love Mocha lipstick and if it is similar, I will probably love it.
Can’t wait for you to try!
The only one I like is Among the Fireflies, and I’m sure I have dupes. The lip products are the only part of this collection that didn’t interest me to begin with, though.
The lip stuff seemed easier to skip, I think!
Thanks for the swatches! Would you say Among the Fireflies is comparable to Spirit by MAC?
I don’t think I have that one to compare!
I love the color of a sprinkle of magic on you, too bad it didn’t work out better.
I was sad it didn’t!
The name of the collection is very pretty.
But I don’t see anything “faerie” in those colours. They are pretty but (boring) wearable and dupable, so far from “faerie”.
Holographic lipsticks (I mean with saturated and real holographic shimmers like those in some Enchanted nail polishes), would be so fun for a faerie theme collection ! But guess that maybe they haven’t found really safe holographic shimmers for the lips (to be eaten) yet.
MAC did a glittery lipstick once upon a time that was pretty cool that would have fit with these, I think. But my guess is they did this to tie-in with the very shimmery eyeshadows.
I really like Among the Fireflies!!
Yay!
I like all of these, they all look pretty and very wearable ?.
Yay!
I’ll pass on these. Not a big fan of these lipsticks.
While I think these are all pretty, and I would have liked to try Among the Fireflies, I will pass on all of them, I really don’t like, or need lip products that settles in the liplines. I don’t need those more noticeable!
I love them all! I’m worried about Gossamer wing but I may give it a try as light colors tend to look best on me.
At first I had my sights set on A Sprinkle of Magic, but after reading this I think Among The Fireflies is where it’s at! 🙂 Really love the look of that one, looks fab on you.
In the promo photo, the model was wearing a really dark plummy lip color. Weird that they didn’t have her wearing one of the actual shades in the collection.
Wow, Sprinkle of Magic looks quite different on the lips than in the tube. Grateful for the swatches, I would buy it for the tube color but the lip color is not really up my alley!
Among the Fireflies and Midsummer Night look gorgeous!
ATF and MN look so good
I love A Sprinkle of Magic and Among the Fireflies!
Yay!
Mh from your swatches I thought Sprinkle of Magic looked like Rare Breed or Marque. Does it compare to these two shades?
I had A novel romance’s Myself but my 3 year old son ATE my lipstick. Do you think “Gossamer Wings” dupe it???
