Anyway, I picture myself applying one of these glosses and ending up with glitter flakes on my back somehow, or all up in my eyes...something tragic. Even if I could get over that, I'm gonna pass due to the pre-mentioned packaging OCD issues I have. Those who get these, enjoy them!

I remember them! I loved those things!

Thank you!

whew ok so after reading all the posts, i'm likely to not get any of these. Those swatches from Temptalia confirmed it. You can clearly see the chunks and they really don't correspond with the color of the gloss so it makes it stand out oddly. Oh well. Thanks everyone

I recommend at least trying them on in person if you're interested at all. I was super excited for these, but they were more sheer in person. Plus you need to see for yourself how the glitter actually looks. It's hard to capture in photos.

That being said, I'm gonna mosey on down to the ladies room and put on some Tunnel of Love.

Definitely getting Gift Wrap and Sugar Overload. Cherry Electric and Superflash are maybes. Call me crazy, but I like those flakes of glitter LOL!

Okay, so the MUA @ my local MAC store put these out today. I askedif they were supposed to be there and when she double checked, she said no but she'd sell me one if I wanted. I got Fab Frenzy. I tried the Disco one...I kept looking @ it in the mirror and I got hooked when I tried Fab Frenzy. I must admit that I thought this was gonna be really really chunky and gritty. It's not as bad as it sounds. I mean, there are flakes of glitter but the reflects from the flakes kinda intensifies the color IMO. The pigmentation is pretty good. It's kinda the same feel on my lips as Dazzleglass. I like this one. I think that you all should at least try these on in store before you write them off completely. I'll try to remember to post pics when I get home.

just saw temptalia's lip swatches and they look terrible on its own

Guess who got to haul all of these today!!! Woot woot! I will try and post swatches later. I was considering skipping these but when I tried it on in store they are awesome! I agree the flakes may not exactly match up to color coordination but not all of them are like that. The big flakes don't bother me and these feel like more like dazzleglass cremes if any? But they are not to bad by themselves, but then again my lips don't have a whole lot of pigmentation. I have not noticed any traveling glitter anywhere either and I have had the gloss on for at least 4-5 hours.

I thought the same thing. I thought I had stuff on my screen because the non-reflecting glitter chucks looked grey on her lips. Not attractive. The one that's layered over Show Orchid looks okay, but only because of its layering, I think. On their own, they look completely pass-material.

I'll probably get the medium pink one.

Temptalias swatches/pictures are not always color accurate IMO

 

[GlamYOURUs]

From the looks of T's lip swatches, the camera or flash isn't picking up the glitter on her lips too well. All you can see are the glitters on her lips, but they don't reflect off light. So its like whats the point of having the chunky glitter particles on the lips? Lets face it, dazzleglass or dazzlecremes can do the same job w/o the chunk.

 

[omgitzstephanie]

But hey, atleast they contain 0.15 oz compared to 0.06 oz of Dazzleglass!

ditto.

 

[perfectdefect]

I like the look of Totally Bang! but not sold on the glitter flakes. I'll try it on in store. But I don't wana many of these i like dazzlecreme much better.

 

[TeresitaMC]

Hmmm, answering my own question, maybe Sweet Tart is actually similar enough to Partial To Pink? Which I have, so I shouldn't lem over the colour of ST... What do you think ladies?

 

[shontay07108]

I like Disco Blend, but with my pigmented lips, it'll probably come off as a more glitter infused Moth to Flame. I have plenty of that left, so I need to jjust avoid that. Still curious about Tunnel of Love, though.
