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.

Shimmery Cinnamon is unlike anything I own. Very beautiful, more unique shade. It DOES have a very 90’s feel to it. Looks like a specific lipgloss that I used several tubes of during the late half of the 90’s, sometimes with either the Chanel lipstick a BFF gifted me, or my very well hidden tube of MAC Paramount! 🤫
Cinnamon is lovely!
It’s going to be hard choosing from this LE. At first I thought I’d not get anything, but I do think a few things will magically appear in my mailbox.
Shimmery Cinnamon is the more colourful shade of the two and has quite a unique finish to it.
