MAC Lipglasses: Flurry of Fun, Easy Lounger, Splashing
MAC To the Beach Collection — Lipglass Reviews, Photos, Swatches
MAC’s To the Beach Collection features four limited edition lipsticks from champagne-gold to deep berry, with each retailing for $14.
- Flurry of Fun is a sheer, muted tangerine peach with iridescent teal shimmer–yes, teal. The shimmer in this reminds me of Reflects Transparent Teal, which is kind of cool.
- Easy Lounger is an ultra sheer light baby pink with silvered shimmer. The shimmer in this gloss feels different than the average lipglass, to be honest. It seems incredibly fine and brilliant. The shade itself doesn’t do much on lips but add a glossy, shimmering look with no real color change. It’d be nice over a darker lipstick, though.
- Splashing is a medium pink with yellow undertones and soft champagne shimmer. It’s pretty pigmented as far as lipglosses go, and it doesn’t emphasize lines too badly, though the milkiness of the gloss does seem to settle there.

definitely want. 🙂
It’s very pretty, but too sheer. There are so many other shades that give better color payoff.
Just depends what you’re looking for in a gloss 🙂
spitting image of virgin kiss from rose romance if you ask me!
i agree!
I love sheer colors for summer — and this would look so pretty over a lipstick. I need all of the lipglasses from this collection!
I think this looks great! Super easy to wear but maybe a little too much of a silver frost to it. I prefer golden shimmer on the lips.
Is this similar to Culture Clash?
Not really… not as much color, less iridescence.
Lovely. I like the sparkle. I’m sure it would look pretty over so many lipstick shades.
Christine I just want to say that you are AMAZING for getting the reviews for this collection up so quickly! Seriously, the best beauty blogger, not competition. Having access to swatches is so useful for a college student far, far away from a MAC store who has no option but to order LE things that will probably sell out online!
Happy to help, Hannah!
What’s on your list so far?
Marine life, definitely (which I was not expecting to like/need)… and after seeing the completed lipglass review I think I’ll have to pick up Flurry of Fun which seems quite unique and a fun shade for summer!
It’s gorgeous, I want it. Ok, so now one e/s, thrills, and easy lounger. I am such a sucker for MAC lipglosses, it’s ridiculous. I’ll probably wind up getting the other two.
I wanted this lipglass originally, but now that I see a swatch of it I’m not too crazy about it. I expected something completely different, it doesn’t have much of a “wow” factor.
I have to laugh at myself, I simply cannot forgo a sparkly lip gloss. I must have twinkly lips! 🙂
Can you do with this collection what what you did with just add colour…put up dupes and “skip this if you already have”? That was the most helpful thing I have ever seen b/c I’m so drawn to certain colors and shades that I buy 8 of the same thing feels.
I always do that once I’ve reviewed everything 🙂 Since I haven’t reviewed everything, it is too soon to do that!
no color 🙁 ill pass
I’m going to go broke from this collection! And I’m going to love every second of it!
While pretty, I think I’ll skip Easy Lounger for now.
Hi Cristine :o) Thank you so much for keeping us updated. I live over an hr away from the nearest mac counter and 2.5+ hrs from the nearest mac store, so your swatches help me a lot. especially when I have to order online… I was just wondering if I get hipness blush do I need the highlight powder as well, or vice versa. How close/similar are they in color? Or what do yyou think would suit me best, Im an nw20. Thank you so much :o)
I think you may like Hipness more as NW20, but either would work. It’s so, so hard for me not to tell you to just grab the highlight powder knowing it’s going to be pretty hard-to-find soon enough.
I wish both the gloss AND the lipstick had more color 🙁 The lipstick I can barely see…
Thanks for the swatch. I’m probably not going to get this one. I have way too many glosses as it is!
I really like your eyeliner in this picture, what did you use?
Float on By 🙂
It’s nice but it looks like many other glosses that I have so I will pass.
too sheer for my taste =(
I’m definitely passing on this one. I don’t need to spend that much for no color and glitter. I can get that at a drugstore easily. 🙁
Hopefully I’ll like the other ones!
Hey it’s CrantasticMakeup lol! I kind of like that it will go over all lipstick shades. You look so pretty with that eyeliner and the gloss Christine!
Thanks, Jasmine 🙂
What would be some differences between this and MAC HK’s She Loves Candy l/g besides that S.L.C had gold shimmer?
I don’t think they’re really similar at all…
oh ok lol well that entices me more to get it! thanks
Yay! I’m so glad you were able to get swatches of the other lipsticks and lipglasses! I was trying to wait patiently 😉 I think I’m definitely going to be grabbing Splashing and Lazy Day! Funbathing is really incredibly gorgeous in my opinion, but I don’t think I would get enough use out of a darker color. Although, it will be hard to pass up!
Yes, $600 later and here it all is, LOL! 🙂 Too bad UPS delivered so late today, otherwise I would have had them up much earlier — sorry about that!
No need to be sorry Christine! You are doing all of us a HUGE favor. And holy smokes, that’s quite the expensive haul, I hope you at least liked some of the stuff you managed to get!
There are definitely a few pretty items here!
Do you think Flurry of Fun will show up on pigmented lips?
And is the collection still due out on the 27th?
The sparkle will, but not much color, IMO. Yep, still the 27th.
Must get Flurry of Fun!
hey christine how would you say that Flurry of Fun compares to Kumquat and Gold Dust fromt the Spring Colour Forecast?
More like Gold Dust, but it has teal shimmer.
I’m kind of put off by the Flurry of Fun teal shimmers, but other than that it looks really pretty. 🙂
Do you think Splashing would look nice on NC35, Christine?
Yes, I think it would 🙂
NEED Splashing – although it reminds me a lot of Ample Pink Plushglass on you. <3
Flurry of Fun looks a bit like Kumquat. I like Splashing, it looks like strawberry milk… he.
Flurry of Fun looks like… Um… Fun? Ha! I like it! I have to see it though, because I wouldn’t buy it if I could make it myself – I notice that MOST of my Lipglasses are either the oddball colors or REALLY DARK 🙂
I wouldn’t be shocked if you could… the color itself is on the sheerer side – what makes it interesting are the teal reflects. Hello, Reflects Transparent Teal 🙂
hey Christine, could flurry of fun be duped with reflects transparant teal & something like melon pigment?
Yes! 🙂
Flurry of Fun is awesome over Lollipop Loving lipstick. I wore it yesterday and got sooo so so many compliments! 🙂
is flurry of fun like nice to be nice from MAC HK?
Kind of! 🙂 More tangerine, I’d say…
Splashing looks pretty…dang, just when i thought i wasn’t going to get another l/g…ugh
splashing looks like a warmer version of english accents to me how do you think they compare? 🙂 i will be picking up two i think :D!
Yeah, I could see that — maybe a little pinker, too.
So after this I think I will pass on the lot of them. Nothing really struck me.
Thanks for the swatches!! 🙂
i will definitely want means i want it
LOVE IT VERY MUCH
Easy Lounger is pretty!
Hi!
Thank you so much for the swatches, it’s so helpful, I don’t buy any Mac products until I read your review^^
Btw, I have English Accents Lipglass, is Splashing anywhere similar to it? I like Splashing but can I skip it if I have Eng Acc?
Thank you!
I think you could! They’re similar, not 100% the same, but similar enough you could probably skip.
i love it!!! love the seahorses
OMG, ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Easy Lounger, if I had to choose one! 😉
ohh splashing looks yummy
omg i have a bump on my nose in the same place just like that weird
ooooooo i want flurry of fun and splashing!
dayum! the splashing looks awesome! is there a shade of permanent lipglass that looks like this?
After seeing these lipglasses in person, I have to say that i am most impressed by flurry of fun. The teal shimmer is definitely noticeable and the way it glistens on the lips and also gives a really neat effect when applied over lipstick. The easy lounger and splashing is a no go. Easy lounger is blah .. i can go to the drugstore and pretty much find an instant dupe and splashing is too milky and pigmented and not really pretty.
Flurry of fun is definitely thumbs up!
hi! thank you so much for these great on the lip swatches. i have been looking EVERYWHERE for them!
How much are they pigmented?
They are quite sheer!
hi what yellow/gold eyeshadow did u use in the last pic? Thanks 🙂
It’s the one from the collection!
I want this gloss, hwo do I get it??
