Massive Dazzleglass Rant

[chocokitty]

Sorry but I have to agree with this rant. I bought 5 from the 1st collection and I noticed that after using Baby Sparks a few times, I could see a lot was missing from the tube. So after that, I started using them sparingly by layering a little over lipsticks. I bought the Miss Dynamite from the Red She Said collection and I noticed that since I use the product differently it's lasting longer. I just wished these came with a warning sign i.e. "USE SPARINGLY OTHERWISE YOU'LL SHED SOME TEARS" -- LOL.

yeah exactly!!! i was going to buy them all but i sort of stopped and thought 'hold on this is mental how quick they are going' i usually wear mine on a night out and after a few drinks i kinda forget i need to be careful how much im applying. but i dont put too much on anyway cos i hate that sticky feeling you get if you apply too much

I have Fun N Sexy lipstick from Fafi collection,and I will use either clear lipglass or lustreglass over that and it looks just like I'm wearing a dazzleglass!Plus you get way more usage.

OMG that is freaking hilarious!

Not that I am making light of what is of course a serious situation.

A gal's gotta protect her Dazzleglass, for sure.

they are gonna be perm in the spring.

that's exactly why they are more expensive (and why there's less product). with the reflects glitter in there, if they were to make the same amount, they'd be upwards of $25, then no one would buy em!

 

[AdlersMommy22]

Its like i could see her hand going back and forth putting it on her lips... dipping it back in the tube... putting it on her lips.. smacking her lips... dipping it back in the tube.. and im cringing and the 3rd dip im like "OKAY YOU HAD ENOUGH!... it looks...great. Please dont ever touch my dazzleglass again. Okay. Phew."

Glad that shits over. Im putting it on in private from now on.

I just don't share.

Not if they actually put them in LIPGLASS OR LUSTREGLASS TUBES.

Exactly!
I don't want to pay that much for a lipgloss anyway, and you get so much less. They are pretty, and I always look at them at the counter, but I'm yet to actually take the plunge.
Maybe once they're perm, I'll try one. I don't use much gloss anyway, and it's likely to go bad before I'd use it up.
But still, I think it's principle.

 

[LatinaRose]

Hmm, has anyone experimented making their own Dazzleglass with the Reflects glitters?? I'd like to try it, but I have no idea what lipgloss to use!! Maybe I'll just use clear lipglass.

The lesson is either don't share your makeup, or apply it for her next time.

right. i am so going to try making my own dazzleglass after reading that.

i've held off buying them because they are so pricey for so little, now i could buy a pot of glitter, a lipglass and make a frankenglass! *evil laugh*

hmmm. i wonder if i need lightning?

redambition, do you take a custom order? Could you make me a lilac colored Dazzleglass please????

 

[bella1342]

Please someone try experimenting with the reflects glitter and let us know how it works...

I love dazzleglasses... I have around a dozen of them. (including a few backups)

 

[Sanayhs]

Dudes, I thought the price/amount was retarded as of the initial launch. My immediate solution was mixing reflects glitters with other gloss. Plus, you can add as much or little glitter as you like. It works beautifully. If you use clear gloss, pigment and reflects glitters, you can make any colour you want.

Seriously, dazzleglass prices are retarded. No thanks. I have two, but I bought them for well below retail (but still bnib) via my friend the internet. Thanks.

Also, if you want to go insane on the dazzle, layer additional reflects glitters over your dazzleglass. Holy cheese.

Oh, and the reflects glitters mixed with gloss doesn't feel gritty or anything - tis just lovely.

I will be mixing clear lipglass and reflects glitter tonight!

Sounds like fun!

If you wear a lab coat and goggles and cackle maniacally while doing it, it will be even better!

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

The other day I was actually looking at the testers from Metal Urge, and realized that Reflects Bronze is the orange-gold glitter used in Miss Dynamite! They look exactly the same! Do it girls!

I think you guys should: make a small sample of a glitter, by either filling a sample jar with a little, or even just pour a bit on a napkin. Take the wand of a regular lipglass and dip it into the glitter, then just stick it back into the tube, and tadaaaaaaa your very own homemade Dazzleglass!
