Ice Follies

MAC Ice Follies Crystal Glaze Gloss ($21.00 for 0.41 oz.) is a a sheer, golden base with pink and blue pearl. This particular shade was described as sheer, though it was so sheer that I’d consider it more like translucent with sheer pearl coverage.

The Crystal Glaze Gloss formula is supposed to be an “ultra-moisturizing gloss” that has “an intense, glossy shine.” The texture was soft, smooth, and almost jelly-like–but denser and not quite as slippery. It felt balm-like on the lips and had no tackiness at all (completely unlike most of their gloss formulas) and had a very light vanilla scent. The glossiness lasted for two and a half hours, but it was very hydrating while worn.

It's a Great Feeling

MAC It’s a Great Feeling Crystal Glaze Gloss ($21.00 for 0.41 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark copper with warm undertones and flecks of fine red pearl. MAC described it as “transparent” (I feel like “sheer” would have worked better with this shade whereas “transparent” would have made more sense for Ice Follies!), and I would describe the coverage as sheer to semi-sheer. It noticeably tinted my lips to warmer, reddish hue but let my natural lip color come through. There was visible pearl that distributed evenly across my lips. The consistency was smooth, jelly-like, and non-sticky, which made it a real treat to wear, as it was hydrating and comfortable on the lips. It lasted for two and a half hours on me.
