Sephora Fuchsia Mermaid Ultra Shine Holographic Lip Gel ($14.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is described as a “holographic salmon pink.” It’s a light, pink-tinted base with lighter, rosy pink, silver, and gold shimmer. This shade lightened and brightened my natural lip color while adding a lot of shimmer and sparkle to the lips. I liked how the shimmer covered evenly, and it had more “opacity” due to the sheer amount of shimmer in it. The texture was smooth, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. The gloss lasted for three hours on me and was hydrating over time. MAC On Cue (LE, $22.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). MAC Seducing Sound (LE, $21.00) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Rags to Riches (LE, $20.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande (LE, $21.00) is cooler (90% similar).

Sephora Good Fairy Ultra Shine Holographic Lip Gel ($14.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is described as a “holographic pale pink.” It’s a faintly-tinted pink base with multi-colored shimmer–I get a lot of teal, pink, and silver shimmer in particular. It naturally darkens and enhances the pink tones in my lips, while adding a moderate amount of shimmer and high-shine. It lasted three hours on me and was nicely hydrating, and it didn’t feel gritty and the glitter didn’t travel. Surratt Beauty Amethyste (P, $32.00) is lighter (95% similar). Maybelline Just a Glimmer (P, $4.49) is lighter (95% similar). MAC Inter-spatial (LE, $22.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar). Pat McGrath Pale Fire Nectar (P, $30.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Jouer Frost Bite (P, $16.00) is lighter, less pigmented (85% similar). MAC Happily Ever After (LE, $21.00) is lighter, more pigmented (85% similar). ColourPop Neat Freak (LE, $10.00) is lighter, less pigmented (85% similar).

I think both shades are prettier in person than in photos, as the shimmer shifts and reflects light in a more multi-faceted way. I wish Sephora had been clearer about the opacity of these (the description doesn’t really indicate whether they’re sheer or opaque), because it is always nice to set expectations prior to purchasing. They say these are just a holographic variation on their regular gloss line, which has always varied in consistency, but they have tended to call out their sheerer shades with some sort of description. If you like non-sticky, hydrating, and shimmery gloss and don’t mind sheerer coverage, these are fun, but if you prefer more opacity, I’d skip.
