When it comes to makeup brands, MAC cosmetics are by far my favourite! I love their packaging, their products and just their whole vibe! However, some of their lip products are a bit of a hit and miss in my opinion. Today I'm going to be looking at one MAC lipstick, one plush glass and one dazzle glass to see if they are really worth the time and money.
~ MAC Satin Lipstick SNOB ~
Many people would know that snob is one of the most beloved MAC lipsticks. Its just something which seems to be on everyone's wish list and generates a lot of hype!
I absolutely love the colour, its a purple toned pink which has a nice satin finish. It has a very creamy formula and a nice consistency which glides on very nicely. A lot of people describe the colour as being very versatile, however I think its a little on the bright side to be versatile for all skin types, I would say its like the little sister of Saint Germaine. I prefer to wear snob on special occasions honestly, as I feel a bit more comfortable wearing something a bit less bright on an everyday basis. I guess it all depends on what colours you like wearing everyday.
I LOVE the packaging as I do with all MAC products, its very simple, a very convenient size and resembles that of a bullet! The smell like all MAC lipsticks is a bit strange, it has a kind of fig/sunscreen smell to it! Its not a great smelling lipstick but I think its quality makes up for that.
All in all I quite like snob, its a pretty colour that's perfect for special occasions! Its a great quality lipstick as with all MAC lipsticks, and has a pretty good lasting power providing you wear a good lip liner. I think its definitely worth the money, and with many Australian drugstore lipsticks being priced up to $30, I think MAC lipsticks are very reasonable seeing as they are high end and you do get a beautifully pigmented and long lasting formula.
RRP - $36.00
~ MAC Plush Glass PRETTY PLUSH ~
My decision to pick up a plush glass was a spare of the moment kind of thing! Im not really a big lip-gloss junkie but I thought the colour range for the plush glasses looked really cute.
The packaging is quite small, it features the iconic MAC matte finished lid, and a transparent tube. Its the perfect handbag or clutched sized product which is really good for a night out or even just a day out shopping!
It features a doe-foot applicator (why even is it called a doe foot!) which makes the gloss easy to apply.
The colour its self is super duper pretty! its a lovely pale pink colour with extremely tiny gold shimmer pigments! On the lips it looks clear.
Once applied, there's a strange tingling feeling on the lips. Im guessing it has some sort of plumping agent in it (I hope!). It does make the lips look somewhat fuller. The product has a sweet fruity scent.
I hate to say it but I don't think that the MAC plush glasses are worth the money. I feel like its not THAT special and there are a lot of really good drugstore lip glosses out there! Its a very nice lip gloss in general but I just wouldn't splash out on it again!
RRP - $39.00
~ MAC Dazzle Glass DATE NIGHT ~
Im not usually impressed by lip-glosses but im actually really impressed with the MAC dazzle glasses!
They are highly pigmented, Date Night, is a gorgeous purple which is absolutely to die for on the lips! With purple and gold shimmer pigments which add an extra dimension to the whole concept of lip glosses! The colour is very long wearing and the sparkles look amazing! You cant really see them from a far but up close the lips look unbelievable!
The formula is a little sticky but in a way that's a good thing because you know its going to last longer!
In regards to packaging its quite a bit larger to the plush glasses, and it has a shine finished lid instead of a matte one. The applicator is a little brush which makes it a hell of a lot easier to shape and define the lips than a doe foot does.
It has a sweet smelling scent which isn't too overpowering but is still quite strong.
Overall, I LOVE the dazzle glasses, they are highly pigmented, long wearing, and look just amazing. Despite the scary price tag, I really recommend the dazzle glasses and think they definitely worth the money.
RRP - $43.00
