MAC - Holiday 09: Magic, Mirth, Mischief (Colour Collection) Discussion

[purrtykitty]

Hey all! I didn't forget about you...I got super busy with planning and celebrating my 5 year anniversary with my husband (we got married in his church and had a party at our house to celebrate) then the next day was my 10-year high school reunion. Needless to say I spent Sunday recouperating!

My camera's battery decided to die on me, so while it's charging, I'll give you my thoughts on the Dazzleglasses:

She-Zam - super sparkly and the silver base does actually show up on my as the lightest grey tinge on my lips. The pink sparkles definitely stand out in this one.

Phiff - Not quite as sparkly, but still very pretty. When swatched more heavily, the base does show up on my hand, but not really on my lips. The gold sparkles are very subtle. Oh and this one came with a huuuuuuuge air bubble, which really pissed me off.

Overall, these are a little more sheer than the previous dazzleglasses, but I figured since these are "holiday" ones, they're really meant to add extra sparkle to any lip color, so I think that's why they chose to keep the bases sheer and neutral. I'll post pics later!

I want both the dazzleglass creams and the creamsheens, and maybe a dazzleglass.. and the lipglass sets. Lipglosses......

Haha, I'm doomed!

Yes, just from the colour descriptions

I can trust my very first feelings about a product.

I got She-Zam last week, I

it over the top of Angel..
Looks gorgeous, haven't tried it over anything else yet, because I'm entranced by how hot it looks over Angel!

I just realized that one of the lip sets was titled with me in mind ....

"Possessed By Pink!"

I can't believe that the glosses are so sheer. But pretty

Possessed by Pink - brought to you by elegant-one - the reigning queen of all things pink.

PP - Princess Pink

Nah, you can be a Queen too!

you do love them pinks

Hey, I thought the 2 DG's looked good on you. Do you wished that they would've had a lil more color to them, or are you ok with how they are?

i know this question isn't technically for me but i'll answer anyways! she zam gives me a little silvery tinge to my lips which does look quite nice on it's own but i will use this more over the top of lipsticks. most of my dazzleglasses are used over lipsticks so the lack of pigmentation doesn't bother me. in fact the only dazzleglass i use on it's own is date night

I don't mind that these aren't that pigmented. I wish Phiff had a tinge more coloring to it, but seeing as I never wear the dazzleglasses alone anyway, it's not that big of a deal. I think these ones will be a great way to add sparkle to lipstick, without obstructing the true color of it.

^^Thanks guys! Phiff is so beautiful in the tube

So i haven't checked in here for a few days now but do we have any info on the mini holiday sets especially the pigments?? I really NEED to know!

Edit: Opppssss i just realized i posted in the worng thread!

FYI All Cosmetics Wholesale now has the Phiff d/g marked as Phiff or Jingle Jangle, so who knows? Mine was labeled Phiff, but there's no pink and sapphire sparkles, so maybe it's labeled wrong?
