Mac Guilty Passions: 4 Lavish Rose Lipgloss│Review, Swatches

Recently I've been into "don't buy limited edition stuff", but I just couldn't resist this lipgloss set! It's super cute and I love all the colours. Bold and soft all-in-one. Mac Guilty Passions: 4 Lavish Rose Lipgloss Mini Kit ($.32.50) comes with 4 lipglosses in different formulas, Cremesheen Glass, Dazzleglass and Dazzleglass Creme. It has a great value considering the size and content of the tubes. (Dazzleglass 0.09oz, Dazzleglass Creme/Cremesheen Glass 0.07oz)

From top to bottom: Going Casual, Demure, Boys Go Crazy and Color Saturation.

Going Casual (Cremesheen Glass) is a blue-toned cotton candy pink with a slight hint of shimmer. It's very sheer so it's hard to get "full coverage" on the lips. The shimmer isn't very noticeable once applied.
Demure (Dazzle Glass Creme) is a cool-toned pink with iridescent shimmer, the brush allows precise application. I quite like the sparkles and it looks lovely on it's own.
Boys Go Crazy (Dazzleglass) is a deep amethyst with micro-silver sparkles and it has a semi-opaque finish. I adore this shade!
Color Saturation (Cremesheen Glass) is a berry red with a creamy texture, it's very pigmented and the glossy finish is very pretty.

From left to right: Demure, Going Casual, Boys Go Crazy and Color Saturation.

The Cremesheen formulas have a creamier and less sticky formula than the Dazzleglass and Dazzleglass Creme formulas. All 4 lipsticks have a vanilla scent and no particular taste. Demure and Boys Go Crazy come with a small brush applicator and Going Casual and Color Saturation come with a regular applicator. The Dazzleglass tends to last longer due to it's stickiness, but I much prefer the Cremesheen formula as it feels nicer on the lips.

First row: Going Casual, Demure. Second row: Boys Go Crazy, Color Saturation.

Swatch: Mac Frost Lipstick in Angel

Mac Angel Lipstick ($.15.00) is described as a light pink and it's one of the most popular shades. I much rather describe it as a medium pink with a frost finish. It has micro shimmer in it and it leaves a glossy appearance. I find it a bit darker than Creme Cup, though it's believed it's the same hue with the exception that Angel has shimmer in it. I find the two shades to be completely different. I find the frost finish a little drying but less than a matte finish, it seems very sheer but it lasts 2-3 hours on my lips. I like Creme Cup much more than Angel simply because of the finish. Creme Cup leaves the lips looking milky and glossy.


Which one do you like better? Angel or Creme Cup?

Swatch: Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Papaya

Oh Revlon, you did it again. I wasn't looking for a new gloss but this one called Papaya caught my eye and ever since I got it I'm in love with it! Haha, no but really isn't it such a pretty colour?


This lipgloss has a very good consistency, and it lasts a while (about 2 hours without eating or drinking anything) I looove coral oranges, so this one is a yes for me. It has micro shimmer in it with a semi opaque and a glossy finish. The packaging reminds me a little bit to the Chanel Lévres Scintillantes Glossimer, It's kinda the same size and length, but not really.


I've also noted it moisturizes my lips, it says it contains sweet almond oil and vitamin E, so if you have dry lips this will work out for you! The gloss itself doesn't feel heavy at all since the texture is very lightweight and the best part: it's not sticky! Revlon says this lipgloss is scented with sweetened vanilla, but i don't really feel anything and at first i thought it was fragrance free.


Overall I really like this product, it's very well pigmented for a lipgloss and it's such a gorgeous shade! I will definitely be picking up more shades!
