MAC Magic, Mirth, & Mischief Sneak Peek

Sneak Peek: MAC Magic, Mirth, & Mischief

For the holidays, MAC’s Magic, Mirth, & Mischief has a whole slew of new mineralize eyeshadows, but we’ll also be seeing some new shades of dazzleglass, including the two pictured here.

  • Phiff A light, beige-nude with lots of silver-peach micro glitter. I wasn’t super impressed by this one; it was a little lackluster–it doesn’t impart any color on me, and the glitter color doesn’t change up colors that much. It was like a darker, peachy version of Bare Necessity.
  • She-Zam A pale, silver-gray with a blue cast and gray-blue micro glitter. This one reminded me a lot of some previous lipglasses like Lightning and Pas-de-deux. It’s a nice shade, just because it can be layered on top of lipsticks to add a different dimension of color.

  • Product: 8/10
  • Value: 6/10
  • Ease of Use: 8/10
  • Packaging: 6/10
  • Overall: 7/10

Recommendation: If you love dazzleglasses, you’ll love these, too. The glitter is the same, and the colors are sheer like previous shade releases. I did feel likethese went on a little smoother and less sticky compared to other dazzleglasses, though.  I still find these low on value (because you pay $4 more for less product than a lipglass–like half!), and as a result, I’m not a big fan of the oversized packaging with not much in it.

Have you picked up these new shades yet?

I loved these in the pictures and they were on my must get list for the collection, but after reading this I think I’m going to skip. Happy to hear it wasn’t just me scooping quickly through the glosses, but that there is actually less product in the tubes – not happy with how little there is in dazzleglasses.

I purchased both of these from ACW and received them today. Prior to purchasing, I was more partial to Phiff. It seemed like such a gorgeous color. After swatching, Phiff did nothing for me but She-Zam just stood out. I will layer it with some of my lavender lipsticks or my silver one on days when I’m feeling adventurous;)

“I still find these low on value (because you pay $4 more for less product than a lipglass–like half!), and as a result, I’m not a big fan of the oversized packaging with not much in it.”

My reason why I own zero dazzleglass. 2.4 ml of product for 19€ (=27$) at Mac France. I’m not a skinflint but that price is a joke.

i am really unimpressed with the dazzleglasses.
the prices are high, the colors are sheer and the gloss is sticky.
oh dear =/

Thanks for the review. I never liked Phiff b/c it looks too sheer but I did had my eye on She-Zam….and less than 2 months ago I picked up Pas-de-Deux at my CCO…so now She-Zam is off my list!

I also just received both of these dazzleglasses and love them both. I used Phiff over Madly Creative and it was very pretty. I like it because it isn’t “in your face.” She-Zam is gorgeous – haven’t used it yet but swatched it and I bet it would look great over Lavender Whip. Just my two cents.

Tbh I dont get the fuss over dazzleglass =/ especially because theyre crazy expensive here in Aus so I wouldnt spend that much on a lip gloss

I”m not feeling these two. They are very very sheer. Almost clear. I have other dazzleglasses that I like more so I’ll pass on these. However.. when the whole collection comes out, I’m sure there will be some gorgeous combination and they will be in my kit.

I over think everything!
