MAC - Dazzleglass Discussion

[JesseVanity]

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

I got Love alert today and it's alot better than I expected. I thought it would be glittery, but it wasn't atall it was just shimmery and really pigmented. Love alert reminds me of totally it from fafi though, which I already have so I think I want to get one or two more dazzleglasses.

Smashbox lipglosses smell like toxic waste

As if I wasn't being tempted enough, I got a dazzleglass post card in the mail today *grooooooan*

Okay. So I finallyyyyyyyyyyy gave in and bought ONE! Date Night and it is gorgeous! I thought it would be chunky with glitter but its not. Its more sticky than lipglass imo. I love the shine and intensity in it. I might pick up a few more but I am not too sure yet. Most of them all look the same on the lips anyway, I don't get why people buy all the colors. lol I have pigmented lips so I need to becareful and pick colors that will standout. My MA Magarita made me by it. I love the glass like tube a lot, it looks more expensive. lol

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

I love these over lipsticks, not alone. Alone, they didn't do anything for me. But on top of your favorite lipstick. WHEW!! Like Funtabulous over Up the Amp!!! Whoa chle!!! HOTNESS!!!

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

OHH I really love these!! Okay so they're not super soft but they really last a long time on my lips and they are sooo shiny. I got Comet Blue, Baby Sparks, Funtabulous, and Like Venus.
I used the Comet Blue over my MAC Rebel lipstick and OMG I got gorgoues purple pink lips with blue sparkles. It may sound strange but it looked so hot. So I think I'm gonna need another Comet BLue.

And I was surprised to see that some MAC stores in NYC have Comet Blue sold out already.
Is it me, or does stuff seem to be selling out really quickly lately? I just don't remember in all my MAC buying years, and believe me it's plenty, seeing stuff from so many collections go soo quickly.

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

Trista has the same ideas. LOL These make your favorite lipsticks 100 times better!!

You know Up the Amp is one of my faves, so I WILL be wearing that tomorrow.

I really hope that its not because people are buying to sell on EBAY. Sometimes I wish ebay would just ban people from selling MAC. Its all becoming too shady esp. since dresscamp?

But I will be buying at least 1 dazzleglass now

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

I just noticed my Comet Blue is almost half gone just from swatching some color combinations, and I looked up the product volumes on the web site. Even though the tubes are oversized like lacquers, there's only .04 fl. oz. of dazzleglass in there. For comparison, that's a little more than a third as much as is in a regular lipglass. Lacquers actually contain .3 fl. oz. of goo. I'm not sure whether I want to return them on principle or shrug it off because I'll be able to swap them for B2M almost immediately.

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

Well I think it's the fact that there are more and more special collections coming out, trying to lure new customers (come to the dark side! we have cookies!) or get people who buy from a variety of different brands to buy MAC as their main makeup priority. But there is also the eBay factor-people will buy and try and resell it to make a profit. Being a retail SA myself, it's one thing that annoys me. We have sales at our stores all the time, but two big Half-Yearly's, and people will buy tons of stuff there and then sell it on eBay for inflated prices. It could be people who cannot get to one of the stores, or it could be that they buy a ton when a new line comes out and then it inevitably sells out, thus driving up the value of the product (this can be in any case of retail). I mean in some cases, the prices are justified-we had a specific line that we sold at our store that was HORRENDOUSLY popular and got discontinued because they could not keep up with the demand for it. Well the demand just got crazier and people will probably sell a bottle of the lotion for $25 (original retail $13) because they know that the people want it and it does not exist anymore).

Back on topic though (sorry, just had a thought to get off my chest), I think that a lot of times some of the more unique products will sell out-ie the products that are not as easily dupeable. Hollywood Nights sold out insanely fast at every counter in my area, I think that's what is happening with Comet Blue...you can't find a blue glittery gloss that doesn't scream "10 year old using Claire's makeup from 1998" (believe me, I shopped there that summer when they had the blue mascaras and such...) and the sheer novelty is prompting a lot of people to buy it. That's what I love is that it isn't about just "the basic neutrals"...it's about something different and unique.

I actually have to disagree somewhat about the lipsticks. I actually prefer to wear some of them bare, especially Funtabulous. Ms. Fizz looks amazing over Hollywood Nights though.

Oh, can you scan it and send me a copy by email?

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

Does any notice some of them smell funky? I have five and 2 (Rags to Riches & Comet Blue) smell what I would call "normal" and the other three (Sugarrimmed, Bare Necessities & Spanking Rich) smell "off" and different from the others.

At first I thought the Bare Necessities must be bad until I found that others smell just like it, but it seems unlikely that I would get 3 bad ones during one purchase (of 4 that were purchased on one day; I had CB already).

Has anyone else noticed this?

I guess that's what I am wondering though: do some of just have a different smell vs. being "bad"? It seems so improbable that out of 4 different colors bought over the weekend, 3 would, by chance, all be bad.

I learned something about searching, though, because before I posted a searched the thread for "smell" and apparently that doesn't include hits if the poster used "smelled" or "smells" because #353 doesn't show up in that search.

I didn't realize the search didn't use anywhere the string appears.

Thanks.

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

Anyone get Glamour OD yet??? I want to know how it looks on - I'm loving that color

 

[glittergoddess27]

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

Glamour OD is beautiful,.. Kinda like a more sheer, more shiny,.. Pink Grapefruit on glittering crack. I like all the Dazzleglasses bare,... but yeah they also really make an old lippie exciting too. And an earlier poster is right,... these dang things use up really quickly. I am almost half way through a Bare Necessity and I just bought the thing Monday. I will sit down whereever I am an cry when these are gone. I did buy a shameful amount of them. I guess it would help if I could stop putting them on one at a time over and over again just to look at them????

Re: Dazzleglass Discussion

Glamour OD is a really nice one, it's very "natural"-I mean that it is a very subtle one, colour-wise. It is the one of them that I have worn the least since I bought it though...if you have Love Alert, you really don't need Glamour OD but then again, since they ARE LE...

ughh...I do the same thing. Then I have to put them over other lip colors to see what they look like. Steppin out is my favorite so far.

Thanks for posting what it looks like. I'm going to go get that one & Ms Fizz
