How late am I jumping onto this bandwagon (as always)...

Anywayz, are the chromeglasses 'tacky' like lip glass or are they smoother (if that makes sense?!). What can you compare them to, like brands, products what have you?

They aren't tacky at all, in my opinion. They go on smoothly, like I would imagine chrome would.

They make my lips feel great. I honestly don't think they smell at all like the vanilla scent you get from MAC lip products. I always think they smell like caramel. I LOVE these. I did hear that they are going to be permanent, so that should give you some chance to pick one or 4 up.

where is everyone hearing that the chromeglasses are permanent? i was under the impression they were LE, as every counter i've tried to pick some up at has told me that they only got the initial few shipments, and are just trying to sell the remaning stock. it'd be nice if they were permanent, but i've never heard that.

i love them. the consisntency is smoother than lipglasses, and certainly not as sticky. the finish is very different than anything i've ever seen done, and some of the colors are just AMAZING. my counters still have a few of the colors left over, which is nice, since i didn't pick them up initially. also, i like the smell better than the normal mac lip product smell, its slightly different. try mixing different chromeglass colors, or putting them over lipsticks. pinkocrasy is literally my favorite lip color that mac has ever produced. my only complaint is i'm not a huge fan of the brush, i wish they had a different applicator attached. also, the staying power isn't as great as some.

I've heard from several MAs at two different locations that they are going to be permanent.

whaaaaat?! i've been told by 5 different locations by me, including the pro store in los angeles, that they were LE. there's only 1 on the site, and it has the triangle next to it. when did their collection status change? can it vary from region to region? i'm not accusing you of lying, i'm just really confused. i specifically checked on their status, because i didn't want to buy all of them at one time if they were permanent.

Ooh, permanent chromies! That would be good!

I love the texture of these, I don't think there is anything similar in MAC to these. The Napoleon satin lip lacquers are very similar though they are too expensive for the quality - they are nowhere near as good as the MAC c/gs.

They are a truly different beast to MAC lipglasses too. Thankfully.

My favourite one is Show Coral, it was made for me! I wore it heaps for the remainder of our summer (Jan/Feb).

I love chromeglasses but they are not perm. according to the MAC website and the fact that they are pretty much gone now. Maybe they'll release some new ones later like they did with MSF's. My fave is Pinkocrasy...they are not tacky at all. The closest thing I could find looks wise is mark's Metalluscious glosses but they are not as smooth feeling on.

My counter has only 1 or 2 left and they aren't going to be permanent they said. Disappointing, because they have a great texture, but they don't last long on in my opinion.

They are soooooooo smooth, and have more of a light cupcake-y scent instead of the more traditional MAC vanilla scent in their other lip products. I only have one (Pinkocrasy) and I LOVE it.

I have three... Auto de Femme, Already Fab!, and Uberpeach, and I love them all. The texture is smooth (like everyone said) and it gives a finish unseen from other products.

I love urberpeach. I even got a back up of it. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't have a long wear during the day. It fades fast so I kinda wish I didn't buy a backup of it.

The closest thing to chromeglass that I have seen is Milani Glitz Glam Glosses. They have even nicer colors than Chromeglass, but they are much more lightweight- feels like you are hardly wearing anything.

That is a good thing really. It just feels like it is not there, but it lasts the same as Chromeglass.

I took photos of them side by side on my lips- I have it on MUA, not sure if I have the photo here or not.

Well, here it is- hope it shows up...(nope, code not working right now, but if you copy the address in your browser it should take you to the photo)
