MAC Dare To Wear Collection Reviews & Swatches

Phyllis — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:03:19 +0000

With an array of uber bright colors that reminds you of pop queen Lady Gaga, MAC’s latest Dare To Wear Collection is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

The new, limited edition Dare to Wear Lipglass ($18) is a new gel formula that provides intense, full coverage color with a holographic pearl finish. They go on really thick with great pigmentation and leave behind a high-shine, metallic finish with LOTS of shimmer. Loves!

* Ban This! is a dark purple.
* Bold & Brash is a gorgeous bright red. If you like a glamorous red lip, you must get this.
* Dare to Dare is a blue-based pink.
* Gimme That! is a very bright fuchsia pink that is totally hot! I knew immediately I had to get this after I saw Temptalia’s swatches.
* So Bad is a salmon orange color. I did not think much it at first but when the ma tried it on me, it reminds me of a more intense, blinged up version of my Hourglass Surreal Hydrating Lip Gloss. Pretty!
* Wind Me Up is a medium bronze.

As for the Eyeshadows ($14.50), I have really mixed feelings about them. While the colors are all super gorgeous, the color payoff varies greatly. Some of them go on easily without much layering while others feel chalky and barely show up on me. Using a primer or cream eyeshadow underneath and layering the color is a must. Most of the colors, except Going Bananas, Crazy Cool, Louder Please, Sassy Grass and Shock-a-holic, are also permanent. I would suggest you grab the limited edition colors you like first.

* Louder Please is a bright red in the Matte formula. It has one of the best pigmentation out of the bunch.
* Free to Be is a bright Matte coral from the permanent line that is impossible for me to swatch.
* Going Bananas is a repromote from C Shock. It is a frosty soft lemon yellow color with great pigmentation.
* Sassy Grass is a Matte bright grass green with decent pigmentation.
* Lime is a lime green color from the permanent Pro line.
* Atlantic Blue is a gorgeous violet blue Matte eyeshadow from the permanent line. I really liked the color but no matter how hard I try, I could not get the color to show up on me.
* Winkle is a Satin cornflower blue from the permanent line. It has really good pigmentation and a very nice smooth texture.
* Zingy is a Matte sky blue color that is similar to MAC Electric Eel with great color payoff.
* Aqua is a light turquoise in the Matte formula from the permanent Pro line. Great pigmentation.
* Sky Blue is a frosty light Robin’s egg blue from the permanent Pro line. It is a pretty color but lacks color payoff and it took a few layers to show up on me.
* Shock-a-holic is a dark royal purple in the Matte formula with decent pigmentation.
* Crazy Cool is a frosty light silvery lavender color that is lighter than MAC Beautiful Iris. While the color is not the most unique out there, it is a pretty lavender that will work on light skin tones and different eye colors. The Veluxe Pearl formula also gives it very good pigmentation and a smooth texture.

MAC Superglass Collection Reviews & Swatches

Finally got the chance to check out MAC’s new Superglass Collection today! Reviews and swatches after the jump!

MAC Superglass in Totally Bang!

Superglass ($18) is MAC’s latest addition to its humongous collection of lip glosses. It comes in a new, cool-looking, hexagonal tube and is blended with small, medium and large pearls to create three distinct dimensions of jewel-like flash and overwhelming dazzle. The brush is the same as Dazzleglass and Lustreglass.

There are a total of 9 gorgeous colors available, which include your everyday colors like clear, pink and peach to some dramatic hues like dark purple and dark brown. All of them are packed with heavy, chunky pieces of gold glitter and apply sheer with buildable coverage.

Despite how visible and huge the glitter particles are, the texture of these glosses is unbelievably creamy and thick just like the Dazzleglass Creme. They go on very smoothly and do not highlight flakes or dry out my lips.

The best part for me though, is the finish. You do get this super glassy, decked with glitter effect just like the promo picture and it is beautiful! The glosses also tend to stay on fairly well but once they fade, you will be left with pieces of glitter on your lips (same problem with most glitter glosses). Other than that, the Superglass is a great product if you are looking for that extra oomph.

Shattered, decimated, blinded by a fantastic, intergalactic lip light! Just when you thought Dazzleglass was the best-of bright, along comes Superglass, with secret, snowflake-shaped helicone pearls sparkling in three different facets for triple the dazzle! Lips have gone big bang, explosively dimensional, a rare eclipse! Gloss feels slick and sleek on application with no draggy speed bumps, not a hint of grit. A light aroma of vanilla enhances kissability. Extreme innovation that’s a good reflection on MAC and the seductress lucky enough to strike upon it.
