MAC Me Over: Lipglasses

MAC released a new collection on Thursday called MAC Me Over. MAC held an online competition in which thousands of people submitted videos and photos of themselves to be the models for this collection. This is the first collection from MAC in which all the promotional displays feature "real people" rather than hired models, ranging in age, gender, and race. MAC Me Over is a huge collection, comprising of a total of 52 products, and is one of MAC's collections for fall. There are a total of seven lipglasses featured in this collection: four are new and limited edition, one is permanent at all MAC counters, and one two are re-promotes. In this post, I will be reviewing four of the seven lipsticks. Each lipglass comes in regular black packaging, contains a total of 4.8 grams, and are vanilla-scented but taste-free. Each lipglass retails for $17.50, and is applicable for the Back To MAC recycling program (at MAC Stores only).

Plum Fun, Curvaceous, Social Light, and Illicit

Plum Fun is a medium-dark berry red with gold shimmer. It has nearly opaque colour coverage. It is a new and limited edition shade. It is lighter and more red than Pop Mode, and is similar but more opaque than Looks Like Sin Cremesheen Glass.

Cuvaceous is a medium milky pink-plum. It has nearly opaque colour coverage. It is a new and limited edition shade. It's a more plum version of Lust, and is similar but more opaque than Deelight Cremesheen Glass.

Social Light is a pearlized pink-toned brown. It has nearly opaque colour coverage. It is a new and limited edition shade. It's less pink than Viva Glam V, and is more brown than Love Nectar.

Illicit is a light peachy beige. It has nearly opaque colour coverage. It is a re-promoted shade from 2007's Smoke Signals collection and is limited edition. It is a darker and more opaque version of C-Thru, or a more beige version of Florabundance.

Like the lipsticks, there is a great range of shades of Lipglass released with MAC Me Over. MAC's Lipglasses are tackier and stickier than many other lipgloss formulas, but they also last longer than most, with about an average of four hours of wear. Though, due to the tackiness, they are also slightly more difficult to layer without getting unevenness. Some of the lighter or milkier shades also tend to pronounce lip lines, so it may be better to wear on top of a lipstick.
