SSSOOOOOOLD!

I would be curious to see a swatch of Soft Dazzle and Identity (Monogram) side to side... it almost seems like a repromote of it.

I may get the red one... not sure yet, but it looks gorgeous.

I want Creme Allure and Amorous. This never ends.

These have less sparkle and it's not multi-colored like dazzleglass. Usually just silver or goldish. And I know what you mean about traces of glitter after the dazzleglass is gone, and no these don't do that.

I went back and also got My Favourite Pink. It's a goegeous light barbie pink and I looove shades like this

Finally, a collection that got me back in the MAC store at my local mall.

I yawned through the recent ones.

I got: Creme Allure, Amorous, Totally Fab, and Do It Up.

My husband noticed Amorous in the store and asked me to test it, and I said, it's one on my list, so no prob. He likes it on me.

Me, I love Totally Fab, but I'm a crazy-for-red lips girl.

Creme Allure is a nice pink on me, but didn't thrill me like Totally Fab and didn't affect hubby like Amorous.

Do It Up, according to hubby, is bland and nothing special. I like it for a daytime softer pink on my NC42/pigmented lips.

But I definitely want backups of Amorous and Totally Fab.

I will add that both Amorous and Totally Fab feel more gritty than my usual dazzleglasses. And they don't seem to last much. But I'm a sucker for pretty-shiny.

I hope MAC has nothing to tempt me until next year. Ouch.

Oh, and I'm ticked that I can't get another BUZZ (from naked honey). I am using my first back-up now. I really loved that. Sniff.

Go ye and (creamily) dazzle, my ladies!

Oh, BTW, someone mentioned an odd or funky smell. I noticed it, too, especially slathering on Do It Up this AM (just to wear around the house, hah!) and it's not a rotten smell like some reported with the original batch a year plus ago. It's like...er....the best I can describe it is a construction site smell--a combo of a bit of cement or crushed limestone smell.

My regular dazzles smell vanilla-ey and nice. These smell like rock dust.

Okay, just put on Creme Allure while getting ready to head to Pilates, and I used Secret Crush see-thru color/stain (from Rose Romance) under it.....and I'm upgrading this color to ...AMAZING. Not unique, but the combo of texture, tint, and shine with the stain is making me really love this very face-brigthening dazzler combo. The two colors are so harmonious, and the stain makes for a better Creme Allure experience.

Muy lindo! (ie, very lovely). Backup needed.

I couldn't decide which ones to get so I got all of em

oh but not Luscious Spark cuz it came out a little too orange on me...

 

[Winthrop44]

Luscious Spark is super pretty sheered out. I think maybe you should go back to complete the set.

oohhh u enabler lol because u said that...i will take another look at LS

 

[LMD84]

i'm very excited to try these. i know people have commented on gritty feelings but if it sparkles then i'll put up with the grit!

 

[traxter]

I like these but what's up with the grit? If they are going to charge almost 20 bucks for a lipgloss at least have some quality control.

MAC are you listening?

Otherwise the colors are gorgeous and way way way more pigmented than the cremesheen glosses.

Boy Bait was so sheer on me, almost like clear gloss.

I agree. It is beautiful sheered out. It makes it more of a luscious peachy color & not orange

 

[purplerinne]

I seriously don't feel any grit when I wear these....

 

[elegant-one]

^I didn't either. They seem cremey to me

I don't at all either. I wonder if it varies by shade though?

 

[Face2Mac]

If you really had to take your pick, would you spend $18 on dazzlecreme or dazzleglass?

my friend said that cremes has more color payoff but the sparkle isn't so poppin', whereas the you know the dglasses are diamonds.

 

[Winthrop44]

I would probably pick a dazzleglass, mostly because I think the shades are nicer.
