To round out the year, MAC has released a smallish, cool-toned collection called Taste Temptation. Though I’m neutral and can wear both warm and cool tones, I don’t generally gravitate towards cool colors… especially on my lips. Even so, the shades of this collection, with their tones of purples, were really calling to me in a big way.
The Lipglasses might not look wearable, but once they’re on your lips the sheerness of them makes the two shades I have here, Perky and Revenge is Sweet, easy to pull off.
What the MAC website has to say about Tinted Lipglass:
A unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It’s pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.
4.8 g / 0.17 US oz
Perky is described as a mid-tone shimmering lilac. Definitely lilac, definitely a frosty shimmer. Very ice queen! This one is on the sheer side, but with the frost you wouldn’t want it any heavier.
Revenge is Sweet
Revenge is Sweet is described as a vivid purple. Which, it MAY be in the tube, but it’s a very sheer tint of purple on the lips. You can see in the swatch way up there that there is some subtle shimmer, but it doesn’t show up on the lips. Check your stash, this one also came out with Venomous Villains.
The lipglasses were both glossy and on the sheer side They have the same feel as a general MAC lipglass (sticky, but very bearable). They go well with this particular collection, with Revenge is Sweet being my favorite of the two I’ve tried.
For more information on this collection, please see the Official Press Release.
The MAC Taste Temptation Lipglass retail for $15.00 each and are available for a limited time at your local MAC counter (try Nordstrom) or store, as well as online at maccosmetics.com.
Perky is so cute!
