MAC Nocturnals Lipgloss/Pink Set

MAC Nocturnals Lipgloss/Pink Set ($32.50 for 4 x 0.08 fl. oz. or 0.32 fl. oz.) contains one Dazzleglass and three Cremesheen Glasses. Both Dazzleglass and Cremesheen Glass a pricey formula, because they don’t contain a lot of product (0.06 oz. and 0.08 oz. respectively), but the holiday kits are an excellent way to snag them for much, much less than they would be individually. The Dazzleglass in the set actually contains 33% more (0.08 oz. compared to 0.06 oz.), so the value of that shade alone is $26.67, while the three Cremesheen Glasses are, essentially, full-sized and are a value of $60. The tubes are slightly wider and shorter than the full-sized versions. All of the shades in this set are repromotes (meaning they’ve been released previously in some capacity).

Dressed to Dazzle is described as a “pink tinted with silver sparkle.” It’s a pale, neutral-cool light pink with lighter pink and pale gold sparkle. On lips, it was semi-sheer and tended to lighten lips and give a milky quality to the color. It did apply fairly evenly and wore for three and a half hours.  MAC Demure (LE, $20.00) is similar. Guerlain Rose in Bloom (LE, $32.00) is sheerer. Bobbi Brown Firefly (P, $24.00) is more shimmery. Bobbi Brown Bellini (P, $24.00) is similar. See comparison swatches.

Fashion Scoop is described as a “clear pink.” It’s a pale, light-medium pink with very fine white shimmer. It was semi-sheer when applied, and it had a milky quality that made it slightly uneven at times (especially if you pressed your lips together). It lasted less than two hours.  It’s part of the permanent range. Urban Decay Obsessed (P, $19.00) is very similar. NARS International Velvet (LE, $26.00) is a touch cooler-toned. MAC Fashion Fanatic (LE, $20.00) is similar. MAC Fresh Air (LE, $15.00) is similar. Chanel Imaginaire (P, $32.00) is less shimmery. See comparison swatches.

Petite Indulgence is described as a “bright blue-pink.” It’s a light-medium, cool-toned, blue-based pink cream. It had semi-sheer color coverage, and this shade tended to “bunch” up so it was hard to keep even once applied It wore for just over two hours.. L’Oreal Florid Pink (LE, $7.99) is similar. Edward Bess First Kiss (P, $30.00) is more opaque. MAC Next Fad (P, $19.50) is shimmery. MAC Viva Glam Nicki (LE, $15.00) MAC Petite Indulgence (P, $20.00) is less blue-based, more opaque. MAC Going Casual (LE, $20.00) is slightly cooler-toned/lighter. See comparison swatches.

Colour Saturation is described as a “dark cool wine creme.” It’s a cool-toned, berry-red with a cream finish. It settled slightly into lip lines but yielded semi-opaque color coverage. It’s not an easy color to keep even at all. It lasted three hours on me. Marc Jacobs Beauty Studded Kiss (310) (P, $28.00) is more shimmery, redder. NARS Penny Arcade (LE, $26.00) is similar. MAC Real Posh (LE, $15.00) is shimmery, less red. See comparison swatches.
