MAC - Dazzleglass Discussion

[jessicajessicax]

hmm im not sure if these are the real deal.. i purchased a pigment along with baby sparks and the packaging looks dodgy compared to my other real mac products i have..
i got a pigment called "accent red" and its a real purpley colour.. is this right?

Anyway i wasnt that stoked on baby sparks. i thought it would be silmilar to Snob lipstick but in a gloss however its pretty much just a boring light lipgloss. It makes my lips feel itchy from the glitter and has blue iridescent glitter in it which almost makes my lips a purpely tinge, not a good look at all!!
but if you loveeee glitter then youll love these

What is with MAC and all the glitter lately? They're really turning me off.

sorry. accent red isn't purpley.

Sugar Rimmed has my name on it... unless it's a cool pink. Then it's not for me.

[darling]

I bought 3 of them.. Love the glitter, not so much the texture. It's wayyy sticky!

[rocking chick]

I hope I am wrong but I suspect that the Baby Sparks Dazzleglass bought from ebay is fake.

I check out the box earlier on & realized that the weight of the product is so little compared to the regular size lipglass (the weight different is too much). But the actual size of dazzleglass is comparable to lipglass.

Further more, the barcode of dazzleglass is printed on the box. Wherelse regular barcodes are stickers which are paste on box instead.

What do you guys think?

**Update** Product name "Baby Sparks" is also printed on the box. Wherelse regular / LE MAC lipglasses got the product name imprinted on stickers then paste on box.

well this means that the seller is definatley dodgy. i knew it was too good to be true to get a foundation brush for US$22...
my fake ACCENT RED is purple... lilac purple. nothing red about it.
i wonder if mac are even launching a dazzleglass range or if its some rip off scam that the seller has done.
i thought they would be genuine because specktra had featured them on the home page. pretty dissapointing.
i dont think i will ever buy makeup off ebay anymore. you can never really know whats geniune.

[jessicajessicax]

i dont know how you change thread names but maybe it should be changed to warning dazzleglass off ebay is fake..
Im reporting this ebay seller right now. hate being ripped off!!

[Shimmer]

who was the seller?

....

Accent Red is not a true red. MAC describes it as:

Accent Red - Deep magenta with red and yellow pearl and purple/blue reflection.

This is spot on, IMO.

[Susanne]

Now I am confused. Are these Dazzleglasses sold on ebay now fakes or real MAC products? And which packaging will they have when they will be released officially?

[rocking chick]

IMO those dazzleglass from Ebay is 99.99% FAKE but I hope I am wrong.

we don't have any info on them yet because they aren't released until may 1. we won't get all the scoop until we go to update at the end of april.

i don't know if they are fake or not, but that's what you risk when buying stuff off ebay, especially when things haven't even been released yet. you have nothing to compare them to.

[tinagrzela]

I got one on ebay...Money Honey, and I will eat my right leg if they are fake...they totally feel, smell and look real to me...

[sleepyhead]

i don't know why, but my post keeps disappearing on me.

here's what i posted
apparently they are REAL! there are 16 shades. here's a picture and color descriptions from kiss and makeup


Dazzleglass Shades:

Comet Blue - Violet blue
Funtabulous - Purple with violet pearl
Ms. Fizz - Bright pink with blue pearl
Like Venus - Clean light bubble gum pink with red pearl
Baby Sparks - Pale pink with violet pearl
Money Honey - Mid-tone rosy mauve with red pearl
Rags to Riches - Plumy pink with teal and red pearl
Date Night - Deep plum with blue and gold pearl
Spanking Rich - Raspberry pink with red and gold pearl
Get Rich Quick - Warm yellow brown
Bare Necessity - Caramel apricot with red and gold pearl

Glamour O.D. - Bright coral red with red pearl
Suugarrimmed - Milky pale pink with red, teal and white pearl
Pleasure Principle - Clear white violet, teal and white pearl
Love Alert - Raspberry red with red pearl

[stickles]

My question is, what's the point of having 16 shades, when they all show up so sheer (and thus indistinguishable) on swatches/lips?

[gigglegirl]

well I've found that different pearls really do make a difference for when the light hits the lips (ie things with blue pearl look blueish when the light hits vs. like a pink pearl which looks pink) And just like there are many tints to Tendertones, I find they do make a bit of difference on your lips (to some it may be hard to see b/w say a red vs. a raspberry sheerly tinted thing) but to some they notice it. Or just want a few diff colours for a bit of differences.

I get what you're saying though, I'm thinking I'm not going to go nuts getting too many

[MAC_Whore]

Totally agree. I am a sucker for red pearl. These are great for layering over lipsticks as well.

[kimmy]

some of these look pretty cute.

i think i'll only be picking up one or two though...the amount of glitter in them doesn't seem appropriate for my line of work hahaha.

i wonder if they're sticky? that will KILL them for me, if they are.

[Susanne]

Are there any new information about the packaging yet?

[annie333]

I bought Baby Sparks and Comet Blue off eBay some time ago and as someone else said: I'll eat my left arm if these earlier sellers were fakes. There's no way. And as far as the payoff, glitter, etc. these glosses are so amazing. There is NO chunky glitter feel on your lips and from what I can tell from the two I bought, the glitter is different -- sort of like their loose glitters how they "reflect" different colors.

As tame as I usually am, I wear the Comet Blue over TONS of pink and red lipsticks and it NEVER fails to look HOT! My BF, who wouldn't likely notice if I wore fishsticks on my lips has made several comments on how my lips look with the dazzleglass.

[tyshelle]

Okay, the colors look amazing, I have to see them in person to see how they go on, but knowing me I may get all of them. LOL

LMAO!! I said that...and yes, they are real, just like I thought they were!

[twilightessence]

I got Money, Honey off eBay, glad to know its real LOL. Though, I have to admit, I don't really like it. The color is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but its SO sticky. I can get over the glitter but its really sticky. And I hate the applicator, I prefer the sponge applicator the lipglasses have.

Oh, the Dazzleglasses have a brush applicator? That's what I really like!
