Last Thursday, MAC launched their holiday mini kits collection called Guilty Passions. There is a total of six kits in this collection, all of which are new and limited edition, and in special edition packaging for holiday. Guilty Passions sees the release of three Lip Gloss sets, each containing two Cremesheen Glass, one Dazzleglass, and one Dazzleglass Crème in clear tubes with a black bow design. Each kit is housed in a round, pale pink, chevron-print box trimmed with a black patent bow. Both Dazzleglass and Dazzleglass Crème come with brush applicators, and Cremesheen Glass comes with a doe-foot applicator. All of the glosses are vanilla-scented but taste-free. Each set contains a total of 8.3 grams of product (2.6 grams in each Dazzleglass, and 1.9 grams in each Dazzleglass Crème and Cremesheen Glass), and retails for $38.50.
Demure, Going Casual, Boys Go Crazy, and Colour Saturation
Demure, Going Casual, Boys Go Crazy, and Colour Saturation
Demure is a pale cool-toned milky pink with blue and white micro-shimmer in the Dazzleglass Crème formula. It is a new and limited edition. The texture is creamy, and it goes on smoothly and evenly, though the milkiness of the shade tends to emphasize lip lines. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is similar to Fashion Scoop Cremesheen Glass but with shimmer.
Going Casual is a light cool-toned lilac pink with extremely fine, subtle micro-shimmer in the Cremesheen Glass formula. It is a re-promoted shade from 2010's In the Groove collection, and is limited edition. The texture is creamy, but it goes on somewhat patchy and streaky. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is lighter and cooler than Pagoda Cremesheen Glass.
Boys Go Crazy is a dark red-toned purple with magenta and blue shimmer in the Dazzleglass formula. It is a re-promoted shade from 2010's Digi-Pops collection, and is limited edition. The texture is slightly gritty, and it goes on somewhat patchy and unevenly. It has medium-high pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is darker and more purple than Date Night, and much darker and less magenta than Funtabulous.
Colour Saturation is a medium-dark vibrant berry pink in the Cremesheen Glass formula. It is a re-promoted shade from this year's Reel Sexy collection, and is limited edition. The texture is creamy, and it goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium-high pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is brighter and more pink than Pop Mode Lipglass, much darker and more purple than Loud & Lovely.
Of all the sets that MAC comes out with for the holidays, the lip gloss kits offer the best value. The Dazzleglasses in these sets actually have more product than their full-size counterparts, and the Cremesheen Glasses and Dazzleglass Crèmes come with only slightly less product than their full-size counterparts. In total, you are getting $83.94 worth of lip gloss for $38.50! If you like the formulas included in this kit and you like at least two of the shades, it's definitely worth getting.
Boys Go Crazy looks like a more purple and lip version of Butter London Black Knight! (It's sad that my polish addiction bleeds over into everything else...)
ReplyDeleteLOL, it kind of does, like if Black Knight didn't have a black base...
DeleteNo worries, I am addicted to nail polish, too, so I understand.
