The Scarlet Season: MAC Check Please Lipglass
MAC Check Please Lipglass ($14.00 for 0.17 oz.) is just a sexy bright red lip with the slightest reddish-gold shimmer laced through a rather opaque red base. It’s definitely one of those, “Yeah, my lips are sexy, what are you going to do about it?” kind of shades. It’s one of my favorite lipglasses ever, because the formula is so smooth, rich, and easy to apply. I really wish MAC would re-release this shade or launch one just like it (I’m down with a dupe!), because it is truly a stunning red. The closest permanent shade would be Russian Red, but I’d say you’d have to add a smidgen of Desire to really get something similar.
The Scarlet Season is a series of posts showcasing and featuring my favorite shades of red lips–from glosses to lipsticks that runs through December 2009. You can sure expect to see a lot of red this holiday season!

This is gorgeous!!! I wish they would re-release this shade too!
Let’s all petition 😀
By the way, what collection is this from?
Tailormade in July 2005 – Nordstrom exclusive collection!
Great color!
Isn’t it?! 🙂
this is lovely- i wish it was still around! russian red is beautiful too though
I know! I am hoping MAC releases an awesome red soon!
This is gorgeous!!
I know! Silly MAC, repromote this!
I LOVE this colour! Could you think of something similar in a lipstick? I hate that mac only has like 1 permanent red lipglass!
Dubonnet, maybe. Kind of similar, but it’s hard to get that thick, glossy look with a lipstick.
This is a pretty shade of red and another show stopper, but it Chanel Dragon is still my favourite so far. Check Please reminds me of maraschino cherries, it is cute.
Dragon is still my favorite, too, but there are lots of other reds to have fun with, too. Check, Please included!
this is gorgeous! MAC should really make some of their LE colors permanent!
I sooo agree!
So pretty, I love it! Is Chanel Dragon still the leading red?
Yes, I have yet to come across a better, more suiting red than Dragon (obviously, I can only judge inasmuch on me!).
pretty 🙂
Agreed!
This one truly rocks.
Do you have one for yourself, Sadie? or can we add your name to the petition to get it re-released? 😛
This is beautiful! MAC should definitely repromote this!
I know! C’mon, MAC!
Oh my god, Christine, this is stunning. I’m totally serious about a petition for its rerelease! Heehee. Your lips look super sexy in this!
Thank you, Chess! 🙂 *crosses fingers for re-release*
beautiful color! you love your red lipsticks and gold eyeshadows-you are so meant to be a blushing indian bride =)
Awww! 🙂
hey christine, could you do a scarlet season post on MAC’s Lady Danger?
I actually decided not to include — it’s a wee bit too orange than I’d like for the series, but also I have more than enough MAC shades (both LE and permanent) for the series!
I’m in love! Gimme that petition! 😛
Haha!
Grrr, stop featuring discontinued things! I get so excited and then I can’t purchase it!
Ah well. I suppose it’s better for my bank account, anyway 🙂
LOL! When I first started the series, I was torn between only permanent or including some limited edition. Since I figured, at the end of the day, it’s more about all the different reds available… and how texture can play a part in how it looks… I went with it. But also because I love too many LE reds and wanted them to get some lurve!
Stunning (as always dear). I also want MAC to re-release it, though I know I can’t pull it off XD but CP rocks so much that I want to own one.
I know – I bought it and I was like, “I’m *never* going to wear it,” but couldn’t resist!
Love it! Thanks for reminding me about this color! I have it but haven’t used it in a while.
No problem! Definitely dig it out 🙂
I love the color and I love the name!!
Haha, I know! It’s such a great name for a red!
I’m scared to try red lips because I’m so used to nudes & pinks. Plus I’m afraid that I’ll look like a clown. What red lipstick/lipgloss do you suggest for someone who’s of Filipino descent, medium skin & dark brown/black hair?
Dubonnet or Viva Glam I! 🙂
This color is so pretty!! True red with gold sparkle? I want one too and I hardly want any lip product anymore. It’s really hard having your eye on something and knowing you’ll never get it, but i guess that’s why MAC’s so successful with its “limited” strategy!
