MAC Till Death Do us Part Vamplify Lipgloss ($21.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is described as an “intense dark purple.” It’s a deep, dark purple with cool undertones and fine pearl. It had semi-sheer to semi-opaque color payoff that is hard to apply evenly. Due to the deeper color and gloss formula, I think this one needs a lip primer/lip liner or a more opaque (more matte!) lipstick underneath it to apply more evenly. The color wore for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating. MAC She-Rebel (LE, $20.00) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Dreamz (LE, $18.00) is more muted, warmer (90% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | MAC Vamplify Lipgloss ($21.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is supposed to have intense, vivid color paired with a moisturizing, glossy, long-wearing formula. Some shades are very pigmented while others are semi-opaque, and some shades apply evenly while others are more streaky. They have a light-medium thick consistency that’s not heavy or goopy, but it’s not really thin; however, they’re really smooth and creamy, so they feel nice on. There’s no tackiness initially, and it feels a lot like lip balm to me–soft, smooth, and my lips felt supple. I find they develop light to moderate tackiness as they wear on. They wear anywhere from three to five hours and are lightly to moderately hydrating over time. The formula has strong, vanilla scent (stronger than their lipsticks; I can smell it for a bit even when it is applied, not just in the tube) but no discernible taste.
