MAC A Novel Romance Lipstick, Lipglass Swatches + Review

September 5, 2014

Press Sample/Affiliate Links

Within the core part of the MAC Cosmetics A Novel Romance Collection are six lipsticks and five lipglass. Out of those 11 products I have four to share with you today in Myself Lipstick, Hearts Aflame Lipstick, Reckless Desire Lipglass and Talk Sexy Lipglass.

MAC A Novel Romance Lips

  • Myself Lipstick (soft shimmery nude beige, lustre) Maybe this doesn’t do it for you, but these nude shades are what I reach for the most, especially with the lustre finish. It’s moisturizing enough but no super glossy or thick looking. Also, SO EASY to apply while moving – which appears to be a constant in my life this season!
  • Hearts Aflame Lipstick (midtone brick red, matte) This shade takes me back to the 90’s, which is apparently appropriate for the fashion that’s back in style. Hearts Aflame is a great staple shade for Fall.
  • Reckless Desire Lipglass (sheer pearlescent lavender grey) I’ve been seeing these opalescent shades in so many collections lately. This one is more cool toned and looks fantastic over light and vampy shades.
  • Talk Sexy Lipglass (dark purple) There is a slight shimmer in this one that doesn’t show up heavily on the lips, especially when layered. I love it over-top of Hearts Aflame!

I have all three of the quads to put up here as well, so look for these lip products worn as combos on those looks!

    The lipsticks actually look lovely on the lip and much better than they do in the tube. Will definitely be swatching them at my local MAC!

      I’m always much more impressed when I wear them vs in the tube or just on my hand. You can never tell how well it’ll work with your tone until they’re on your face 😉
