MAC released a new collection called Tour de Fabulous on December 26. It features 19 new lip products, 17 of which are limited edition. There are a total of 11 new and limited edition shades of Lipglass released with this collection (five of which will not be reviewed here). This collection was originally called Glamglass, which was set to be released this past July and featured a brand-new formula of lip gloss called Glamglass. Due to product development issues, MAC decided not to release the formula as it didn't perform the way they intended it to. As a result, they released the same shades in the classic Lipglass formula instead. MAC's Lipglass formula is on the thicker, stickier side, but they have semi-opaque to opaque colour pay-off, and also wear fairly long for a gloss — about four hours before needing to re-apply. Lipglasses are vanilla-scented but taste-free. Each Lipglass comes in regular clear/black packaging with a doe-foot applicator, contains a total of 4.8 grams of product, and retails for $17.50.

While I don't think any of these are really must-haves, they all apply phenomenally well: very even and smooth with full colour coverage. These actually perform better than a lot of the Lipglasses that have been released in many of the limited edition collections from this past year, just in terms of wear and look. While I don't think it was necessary to release 11 shades of Lipglass in a single collection, I do think there is a good range of shades so there is something for everyone. If you like the Lipglass formula, I definitely think these are worth checking out.
I was only considering picking these up after I checked them out in person, but 2 days later they were sold out at the same location already so that sold me! Lol. Picked up 2 of the shades online w/ free shipping. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Kahyen! Which two shades did you end up getting?! :)
ReplyDeleteI picked up It's a Wow and Tour de Fabulous. My favourite lipglass of all time is Lychee Luxe, so it was a no-brainer!
ReplyDeleteToday I traded empties for Impassioned which matches some of my accessories tonight. I've never worn lipstick that bright out before, but I think I'm up for it! After all, what other night is more appropriate for it? Where are you going tonight?
Those two, along with Knockout, are my favourites from the collection! :) Most of them are sold out at counters now, sadly, but at least you got to get them online!
ReplyDeleteOh, man, if you like Impassioned (LOVE!!!), you'll love the colours coming out with the MAC for Iris Apfel collection (out next Thursday!). I already ordered all of them! :X
A bunch of us are going to a friend's house, have a BBQ, drink (them) and maybe play some card games or something. Low-key, but at least all my BF and good friends will be there, so it should be fun! Happy New Year! :)
