MAC Bright Pink Bouquet Cremesheen Glass
MAC Bright Pink Bouquet Cremesheen Glass ($28.00 for TBA oz.) is described as a “nude coral.” It’s a medium, orange-coral with lighter pink and white pearl. It swatched much brighter than it looked in the tube or applied, but it isn’t a vibrant coral on, which is where it counts. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which made it the most pigmented of the three (the Cremesheen Glass formula is a sheerer range). The color applied easily and was comfortable to wear over the three hours it lasted. Gucci Beauty Crushed Coral (DC, $32.00) is darker (90% similar). NARS Bite (LE, $26.00) is less shimmery, less pigmented (90% similar). Becca Watermelon/Opal (P, $24.00) is less shimmery (90% similar).

MAC Love of Roses Cremesheen Glass ($28.00 for TBA oz.) is described as a “true red.” It’s a vibrant, medium-dark pinky-red with cool, blue undertones and a mostly cream finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage, which made it look almost like a lip stain with a glossy finish applied. The gloss went on evenly for the most part, but there was a little gloss that you could see that darkened lip lines. The color lasted for two and a half hours on me, while the formula was lightly moisturizing over time. Maybelline Radiant Ruby (530) (P, $8.99) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Hot/Cold (LE, $21.00) is darker (90% similar). Dior Rose Harpers (766) (P, $35.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). MAC Viva Glam Rihanna (LE, $21.00) is warmer (90% similar).

MAC Pale Moon Cremesheen Glass ($28.00 for TBA oz.) is described as a “mid-tone pink nude.” It’s a light-medium, peachy-coral with lighter gold and white pearl. It had semi-sheer color coverage with noticeable shimmer. The consistency is lightweight, comfortable to wear as it is smooth and mostly non-sticky. It lasted for two and a half hours on me, and it was lightly hydrating. Charlotte Tilbury Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (L.S.D.) (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar).

I like the swatch for Pink Bouquet (although I don’t see any pink in it), too bad it isn’t as vibrant on the lips, or I would grab it. After shelling out major bucks for Night Sky, I think I can skip these. But for those that like the colors and packaging, these are a lot more affordable than the shadow quads
At least you’ll have something with the packaging in your stash! 🙂
I like Bright Pink and Pale Moon. The price isn’t to bad for these considering I have paid over $30 for HE brand glosses. But, considering the grades, I’m not sure they are worth it. Have you tried any of these over the lipsticks Christine? I know some some of Mac’s glosses layer well for me and others seem to kinda break down the lipstick.
Depends on the lipstick, but these are pretty creamy so they can smear the underlying lipstick a bit (depending on how much you apply, though!).
That sounds iffy for a $30 gloss. I’m passing on these.
Love of Roses is very pretty. The other two need lipstick under them.
They would pair well with lipstick!
Love bright pink bouquet! But aren’t these glosses $28? Or are they really $30? 🙁
They are $28!
I probably would have been all over Bright Pink Bouquet if it didn’t have shimmer.
Aww! Too bad!
Bright Pink Bouquet looks fabulous! But $28 for a B+ lipgloss takes some mulling over….I do love the packaging, and that is a shade I know I would wear to death, but B+ for $28, I just don’t know….if only it was at all counters, then I could see whether it would translate well on my lips!
Definitely a sheerer formula – pretty but not for everyone, I think.
I really like the rose shade but I’d probably just get the Maybelline dupe.
Your wallet is happy 😉
I love Cremesheen Glasses but don’t want to pay the inflated prices for the packaging! LOL
I hear ya!
I love the packaging but I wish these were a little more opaque, I don’t know if I can justify the splurge. 🙁
Aww!
Oh, Pale Moon is quite pretty!!
The pearl is nice!
I like the look of the shimmery ones, and I have dupes for all of them. Wallet sighs happily!
Hi Christine,
Do you think the Bright Pink Bouquet shade is similar to Mac Cremesheen Glass in Geo Pink (LE)? That color is my holy grail and I’m down to one more tube (bought around 10 of them when it was launched). It looks similar, I’m hoping this is a strong dupe contender!!
Thanks 🙂
I think Geo Pink runs pinker, but it’s not totally outside of consideration!
