MAC Lipglass Extension

Last month, MAC decided to re-release ten shades of Lipglass from last May's Fashion Sets collection as an extension of their permanent line-up. All ten shades were previously new and limited edition (and some shades were not available in-stores in North America), and are now available permanently at all MAC locations. Lipglass is vanilla-scented but taste-free, and comes with a doe-foot applicator. Each Lipglass comes in regular black packaging, contains 4.8 grams of product, and retails for $18. These shades are applicable for the Back To MAC recycling program at MAC Stores only.

Overall, I thought this was a much-needed extension to MAC's permanent Lipglass selection, which had an abundance of neutral or brown-based shades, but was seriously lacking in pink or pink-based shades. I also thought it was smart of MAC to make complementary shades to some of their most popular lipstick shades because I know a lot of people often want matching glosses to their lipsticks. The formula of these new shades were good across the board as well, giving mostly opaque colour coverage, and applying smoothly and evenly (with the exception of a couple shades, which went on patchier due to its milkiness). If you like the Lipglass formula, these new shades are worth checking out. But there's no need to rush for once — these are actually permanent.
