After saying I was going to skip these, curiosity won out and I picked up a few.
What pushed me over the edge was seeing how much more product is in the tubes than dazzleglasses! I bought my first dazzleglass a few weeks ago and was so disappointed to see how much the level of the gloss in the tube had dropped after just using it a few times.
I'm wearing Cherry Electric today, and I actually love it. I wore Sweet Tart yesterday over a neutral-y pink lipstick and was pretty happy with it, too. I have a feeling Fab Frenzy may make its way home with me, too.... It depends on how much To the Beach continues to not grab me. I'm really making an effort to try to only buy things I'll wear often!
I do feel some grit, but the gloss feels heavier and thicker than a regular lipglass, so that counteracts it a bit. But I have a feeling my boyfriend is going to hate these -- he hates it when I get lip gloss glitter on his lips after a kiss!

I checked out the superglasses thinking that they were going to be amazing but they are not. The glitter is very dull and do not shine as much as dazzleglasses. I think it's because the gloss is so thick and more pigment than the dazzleglasses that it just obstructs light from reflecting the glitter well.

Oh, no; maybe I want Fab Frenzy, after all ...
NO! BAD CARLA!
I've ordered Cherry Electric, and Cherry Electric alone will I get. I have far more lip glosses than I can actually wear, anyhow ...
I already have Funtabulous and Date Night, and I can get Boys Go Crazy when it comes out with Digi Pops.
MAC is so evil, to tempt me like this.

I gotta say I wasn't expecting much because I consider Dazzleglass to be the end all and be all of glitter glosses. Just try one on...seriously. They really look different on. I got Tunnel of Love because I don't tend to have dark glosses and wanted to try, but I tried on a few colors before I bought this one.

Just got back from Mac and I played with these glosses. I came away with nothing b/c it's just not necessary for me, but I don't have anything negative to say really. It didn't seem nearly as gritty or sheer as some made it out to be. It is super sparkly and all the colors are pretty but I've seen/worn them all before. Not a bad product if you love layering to add extra kick or if there are colors you need, but I have way too many similar colors and I rarely wear my dazzleglass.

Ok, Youtube is the devil. I don't know if this has been posted (I don't think so), but this guy is friggin' awesome. He makes me want to go back and buy these damn things!
Actually, I swatched Tunnel of Love several times, kept it on my hand the longest and it was the shade I was dying for in the first pictures that leaked.
Ok I was about to say I wanted it, but I have to edit b/c he mentioned the glitter migrating and I don't want to deal with that. sounds like this product needs perfecting. I will wait it out. But ToL looks so damn awesome.

I picked up Cherry Electric today to try out before buying any more than that.
OMG can I please have them allllllllll?????
While the texture isn't smooth, it's not as gritty as I was expecting from descriptions on here. I was imagining something like sand in my lip gloss, but it's nothing like that. Cherry Electric is also like the world's most beautiful color on me LOL. I love how the glitter flakes are like gold-y/peach color.
Personally, I don't sit around rubbing my lips together all day long, so the texture doesn't bother me.
I plan on picking up Totally Bang! and a couple more next paycheck!!! <3

I love this guy too!! He makes me want to pick up one of the darker colored ones....I tried on one of the pink ones at a counter the other day on my bare lips, and the glitter turned me off because of how chunky it was. I didn't get to try them out over a lipstick though, which is how everyone seems to prefer them...I don't want to miss out, but I don't want to buy a gloss to just sit in my drawer...I don't know what to do!

I think we can sit these out together
. We must be able to find similar colors elsewhere. Now that I think about it, I have a chanel glossimer that's very similar to Tunnel of Love. Ok, I've squashed my own doubts. Having funky, chunky, migrating glitter is not worth it. No more buying lippies that only collect dust.

i love these so far, i only picked up five, but i may go back for 2 more but that would be it for me. 2 of the colors are way too similar. Swatched on NW43 skin...

I went to the counter today and forgot all about Tunnel Of Love! I think I'll switch Totally Bang for that one. I don't think I need Totally Bang and Cherry Electric.
