Perk Up Your Winter with MAC’s New Lipgloss

MAC Perky Lipglass ($15.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “mid-tone shimmering lilac.” It’s a light-medium lilac purple with lighter lilac and multi-colored shimmer. On my lips, it adds a light lavender color but it’s the multitude of shimmer that really stands out. MAC Docile is lighter, less shimmery. MAC Gone Romancin’ is lighter and more tinted. MAC Frozen Dream has less shimmer.

This is the third gloss from MAC’s Taste Temptation Collection, which launched online this week and will hit stores and counters this Thursday.  It’s a semi-sheer gloss that adds a lot of shimmer, as the base color is fairly sheer.  The base color lightens my natural lip color with a light milkiness that’s tinted lilac. Lipglass is one of those formulas that runs from sheer to opaque and everything in-between. The consistency was a little thinner than the average Lipglass, though it was still tacky.  It was also vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.  This shade lasted three and a half hours on me and was neither drying nor hydrating.

I actually really like this, and I didn’t think I would. I don’t think I’ll buy it because I don’t like sticky lipgloss, but I do like the way it looks.

I like it, but I wish it was more pigmented.

Christine, this might be an odd question, but I love how the color shows up on the applicator, and I have been looking for an eyeshadow of the same color. Would you (or anyone else) know of an eye shadow that’s similar? Thanks.

Omg I love the way this looks. Christine could you give me a better idea of how tacky this is? i really hate tacky lipglosses. I have Urban Decay’s lip junkies and I like them but Bare Minerals lipglosses gag me.

I really love the look of this color from your swatches. I was just at my standalone MAC store…they didnt have this collection set-up. But, i found the tester in with all the other lip glass. When I asked to get one to buy they told me it won’t be for sale until 12/22…I was so sad! Has anyone been able to purchase this in store??
