RSS is not bad, but I think Love Alert will look good with other red l/s as well.
Let me know if you get it

Can anyone confirm this? I called one of my MAC counter here and they said that 12 Dazzleglass are coming back in February and that they going to be permanent.

Many of the MAC MAs on here have confirmed that yes the dazzleglasses will be back in the spring.

One MA confirmed yesterday that most of the Shadesticks say bye bye.
This was new too me and it makes me sad. I wanted to buy Royal Hue and eventually Sea Me.

This week I won't be able to go to town.

Royal Hue is already sold out.

I actually bought more from the holiday collection than I thought I would, I got the eye and face brush set. The MES in danger zone and inter-view. Two dazzle glasses in love alert and miss dynamite.
BTW I like to pair Miss dynamite with Lady Danger lipstick.

yes, Love Alert does seem it would look gorg over any red lipstick..

I just did a fotd using Love Alert on Port Red here: http://specktra.net/f166/love-alert-3-a-119270/#post1372526 and I love it

however..

and I notice the slight difference in having Red She Said l/s underneath vs. other red lipsticks so RSS is still tempting me.........

I will tell you when I get it (if I get it). I find it really difficult to search for anyone's fotd wearing RSS l/s on specktra since those 3 words are relatively common. can anyone help??

Do a search exclusively within the FOTD forum.

only beige-ing, gentle lentil and shimmersand are sticking around for now.

 

[MzzRach]

I'm glad to hear about Beige-ing - I have been using it under everything lately!

My MAC counter still don't have Stark Naked although the testers for the BPBs and dazzleglass glosses have arrived. All stocks have arrived except for Stark Naked.

I wanted to buy a set, contained in the bag that Susanne showed in her FOTD present she bought for herself. The set includes six items: a pink shimmer gel, paintpot, single eyeshadow, Iridescent Pressed Powder, blush, and slimshine lipstick. The colour of the eyeshadow can be selected, and can be changed to the MES or palettes too by topping up the price difference. The colour of the slimsline lipstick and blush can be choosen too. The paintpot Quite Natural cannot be choosen. The pressed powder is Belightful. I haven't read anything about this set here.

I could have missed it?

The pink shimmer gel comes in a small pump bottle. I have never seen it before and the MA said it can be used on cheeks. I have no idea what that it but it is pretty. I wanted to pick up Stark Naked for the blush but when I wanted to pay, she discovered they didn't have stocks yet! So I didn't buy the set although it was value for money. I'm going to get Stark Naked from another counter; giving up at my counter.

 

[Susanne]

^^^^ It would be great if you could get this little bag as well!

 

[Miss QQ]

I hope so. It would be a great little present for myself but I don't want Quite Natural Paintpot as it is too dark as a base. I hope that other MAC counters have this set but with a different paintpot.

I bought Stark Naked and Baby Sparks yesterday at another counter as I am pissed with my regular one. Stark Naked

! I'm thinking of getting a backup, with the set! Dazzleglass is so expensive! There is only 1.92g and it costs almost the same as Chanel glossimer 5.5g tube. I can't wait to try on both of them later!

 

[Dani California]

I fancy getting the red she said lipstick, but is it similar to any other reds? Also no good for me if its a dark red either!

Also wanting stark naked blush, but again is it similar in colour to anything else?

Thanks guys!!

What kind of gloss did you mix it with?

If anyone is going to use any Reflects Glitter to bootleg your own Dazzleglass, my suggestions would be:

1. Use a few different shades that compliment each other.

2. Don't use too much. A little will go a long way.

3. Most importantly, make sure that you use a gloss that compliments the glitter.

There is a thread already where people have done their own dazzleglass with the reflects glitter and posted pictures....
I think they all mostly used MAC clear gloss

Here is the thread http://specktra.net/f165/massive-daz...s-rant-119022/
