Fortune Red
MAC Fortune Red Lipglass ($18.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had medium to semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that went on evenly and didn’t gather in my lip lines. The consistency was thinner than the average Lipglass, which I expect was partially due to the packaging have a tighter opening that made it so less product was on the doe-foot applicator. It was still moderately tacky as the Lipglass formula typically is. The gloss lasted for five hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$21.00/0.1 oz. - $210.00 Per Ounce
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 have found 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.

Peach Blossom Pink
MAC Peach Blossom Pink Lipglass ($18.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a medium, fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly, but there was noticeable color that had welled in my lip lines. The high-shine finish made that less noticeable from a normal viewing distance, though. The consistency was slightly thin compared to most Lipglass shades I’ve tried, but it spread well and was still moderately tacky, so the wear was longer at nearly five hours. The formula was lightly hydrating on me.

Pretty colors, and I like that tassel, such an elegant touch!
They are nice color choices!
Those adorable tassles!!! Both shades quite pretty and have a nice jelly type look to them. I am extremely tempted to buy one!?
LOL! I showed my husband the packaging, and he knows me too well — he was like, “So, storing those is going to be pain, eh?”
The Red gloss is very pretty, but I don’t ever wear glossy red lips. I prefer matte red lips my self!
Money saved 😀
Love both of these!
Love both (unfortunately)!
Very pretty shades and love the tassels!
So cute and elegant, but dupeable!
