Saucy Little Thing
MAC Saucy Little Thing Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a deep berry with subtle, cool undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had medium to semi-opaque pigmentation that applied without streaking, though there was color that sat in my lip lines. The texture was smooth, thinner than the average Lipglass, and comfortable to wear and to apply, as it spread quite easily across the lips. This shade wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating on me.
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 find 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.

Dirty Dark Martini
MAC Dirty Dark Martini Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a dark black with neutral undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which didn’t apply with visible streaks, but there was a ton of color that pooled into every lip line I had, which made it unflattering on the lips. The texture was consistent with the formula–smooth, moderately tacky, and comfortable–and lasted for five hours on me.

Pink Lemonade
MAC Pink Lemonade Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a brighter, medium coral with warm undertones and fine pink and white pearl. It had nearly full color payoff that applied smoothly across the lips. The gloss was creamier and had some color that settled into lip lines, though the opacity and mirror-like finish helped minimize that defect in person. This shade stayed on well for five hours and was slightly moisturizing over time.

Ravishing
MAC Ravishing Lipglass ($17.00 for 0.10 fl. oz.) is a brighter, creamsicle orange with warm undertones and a smattering of fine, gold pearl. It had smei-opaque pigmentation that applied decently, but it could have went on more evenly and stayed out my lip lines better. The texture was smooth, light-to-medium in weight, and noticeably tacky but not too thick. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

MAC Saucy Little Thing is pretty
It is!
I like Saucy Little Thing a lot, would’ve been perfect for winter.
I wish Dirty Dark Martini had done better though.
Black gloss is hard to do! 🙁
Saucy Little Thing is awesome!
Crazy how that one seems to be the favorite!
Saucy Little Thing and Pink Lemonade are impressively pigmented! I think I would like to layer the former over a lipstick or liner.
They were some of the more pigmented shades in the line-up!
Ravishing, and especially, Pink Lemonade are gorgeous shades! Definitely going to check these out on myself in the future! ?
Then there’s what *could* have been an awesome shade, if they’d have gotten it right: Dirty Dark Martini. Sad that they didn’t, as it could have been a great topper.
I can’t even recall the last black gloss that was great!
Saucy little darling is BEAUTIFUL. I love it!
I can’t remember the name of it, but colourpop has a ultra glossy lip that looKS A LOT like ravishing, that iv been looking at for summer! This reminded me that I should pick it up while there’s free international shipping going on!
Thanks for the heads up that CP has something similar!
I love shades like Saucy Little Thing, I know that color settling in lip lines isn’t the ideal look for a lot of people but with these wine stain kind of shades I think its really beautiful, it looks like flower petals to me.
