VIP
Makeup Geek VIP Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a dark peach with warm undertones and fine gold pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which distributed fairly evenly, though this shade settled more noticeably into lip lines compared to other shades (it was also the lightest shade in the range). The consistency was smooth, spreadable, and comfortable to wear. It wore well for five hours on me and felt lightly moisturizing.
The Foiled Lip Gloss formula is supposed to wear for “six hours” with buildable coverage (“single swipe for … translucent pop of color” or “multiple layers for … opaque color”). The texture was thicker but not goopy or heavy with a moderate tackiness. They lasted from five to seven hours on me, and they were comfortable to wear and were just barely hydrating overall. The pigmentation ranged from medium to semi-opaque in one pass, and then the glosses were buildable to mostly opaque to opaque.

Headliner
Makeup Geek Headliner Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a rich, deep bronze with warm, copper undertones and gold, red, and copper pearl. It had mostly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which will work for someone who likes more pigmented glosses, but it was hard to get a “translucent pop of color” with this shade. The texture was smooth, moderately tacky, and thick enough that held on and covered well but was not goopy. The color wore well for six hours on me and felt lightly hydrating.

Set List
Makeup Geek Set List Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a rich, medium-dark plum with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had good color payoff that applied evenly across the lips. The gloss felt thick but not goopy, had moderate tackiness, and spread evenly across the lips. There was a smidgen of gloss that sat in my deepest lip line but wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance due to high-shine finish. On me, the gloss wore well for six hours and seemed slightly moisturizing.

Pretty!!! These look really fun and the price is justifiable!
You get a lot of gloss in a tube!
I am totally getting VIP and probably Set List. Placing the order today.
Nice! 😀
Headliner and Set List are both gorgeous!
They are!
WOW, they weren’t kidding when they said these were foiled!! So beautiful, I will HAVE to pick one up with my next MUG order
They have such shine!
Set List is dazzling!
Agreed!
Oh dear me, I’m in trouble here. I seriously want all 3! These are all stunners. Headliner will work out where TF Aperture couldn’t on me, because of it being dark enough that it won’t bring out the yellow in my teeth, or make me appear jaundiced. VIP is so far my numero uno favorite, though!
All three are pretty!
Headliner and Set List are pretty amazing.
Happy to hear it!
These have all been beautiful, but set list is the one I would like best to wear on a regular basis.
That is a great shade!
These are so beautiful!I want all of them?.
Aww!
These are such gorgeous shades – beautiful colours, especially Headliner. Now looking at the dupes for this shade, I spotted Conspiracy – the vice lipstick. It doesn’t look mauve on you at all, but it really did with me when I swatched it in person.
I wish Conspiracy was more mauve on me!
Set list looks beautiful on you Christine! !!
Thank you, Shannon!
Why are these so pretty?!!! I may have to get a few!!!
I think MUG has a winner with the foiled lip glosses. I really like most of them, and it’s going to be hard just chosing a few, or even just one, stupid low buy 🙂
The VIP color… just… Wow.
