MAC Gonna Love Me & Save Ya Tears Hunny Lipglasses Reviews & Swatches
Gonna Love Me
MAC Gonna Love Me Lipglass ($18.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a light-medium coral with moderate, warm undertones and a smattering of blue and pink pearl. It had good color payoff in a single layer, but it was harder to apply evenly as the milkier color was prone to streaking and pulling into my deeper lip lines.
The formula felt smooth, spreadable, and moderately tacky with a thicker consistency, though it didn’t feel heavy to wear. It lasted well for four and a half hours and felt 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.

Save Ya Tears Hunny
MAC Save Ya Tears Hunny Lipglass ($18.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a brighter, medium lavender with warmer, pink undertones and cooler, violet and pink pearl throughout. The color payoff was medium to semi-opaque with even, shimmer dispersion.
The gloss felt moderately tacky, though not too heavy (but definitely a plusher, thicker formula) that spread easily across my lips. There was some product that settled into my lip lines, but it did not seem very visible in person, thankfully. It stayed on nicely for five hours and felt moisturizing over time.

Usually, I don’t go in for lighter lavender lip colors because they can seriously make me look really strange, but Save Ya Tears Hunny is vibrant enough to work for me. Or so I think! Beautiful, more interesting lipgloss for summer.
I also love the color of Gonna Love Me. However, I have Fenty Spacesuit and Nars Orgasm lipglosses, so I probably don’t need this…?
Love this eye look on you Christine!
Thank you, M!
