Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the MAC Lipglass in Soar. I got this gloss a while ago because I have the famous Soar Lipliner which is one of my favourite soI thought I could give the gloss a go.
These glosses got reformulated a few months ago and about the formula MAC says: “A gloss in a wide colour range that can create a glass-like finish or a subtle sheen”.
You can get it from maccosmetics.com for 17,00$.
COLOUR
The shade is a neutral brown pink, quite dark, Kylie Jenner style. It has a slight shimmer which you can see only if you look really close.
PACKAGING
The packaging is a thick and relatively small tube in a hard plastic material. The shade name is written on the bottom in the usual MAC style, it came in a classic black cardboard box which I don’t have any more. It is really nice and sturdy, I like it.
FORMULA
If you tried MAC lipgloss you would know that they are very sticky and this one is no exception, the formula is very dense and thick but very rich in pigment and super shiny. Lipglass is seriously the perfect name, your lips will be like glass.
Something that really bothers me about this gloss is the scent! It’s terrible and honestly, I can’t explain why MAC lipsticks are some of the best smelling product in the beauty industry, why can’t these glosses have the same scent?
Anyway, they don’t taste bad but the scent is really plasticky.
APPLICATION
The doe foot applicator is quite small and sharp so it’s very easy and precise to use: it picks up just the right amount of product and you can colour your entire lips with one dip.
SWATCH
In this swatch, you can see how pigmented and shiny this gloss is.
Here in these two photos, I thought I could show you how the MAC Soar Lipliner looks on its own and with the Soar Lipglass on top.
LASTING POWER
Since it is so sticky it is a very long lasting product (about 4 hours) that being said it tends to bleed a little bit on the sides of my mouth so my favourite way to use it is with the lip liner underneath.
Of course, you don’t have to buy this specific lip liner but I still suggest you use it on top of one that you own or use a transparent one on the outside of your mouth and put the gloss only in the middle, this way you don’t have to worry about the bleeding.
RATING:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Formula: 7/10
- Scent: 3/10
GRADE: B+
I like this gloss, I like the pigment and the colour, it is really easy to apply and I don’t really mind the stickiness. If you are looking for a long lasting, high shine, very pigmented product and you are ok with sticky glosses, I would totally recommend it to you. Sadly, I don’t really use it because I don’t wear gloss that often and I can’t stand the scent that being is said, it is a good product.

Hmm I kind of prefer matte lipsticks (well this is a lipgloss so I get it) but it’s a really nice colour! I’ll look at it next time I go to town! It’s an amazing review by the way! xx
Thank you so much! You can get the lip liner if you prefer matts and you like the colour, you can totally use it as lipstick all over the lips. That’s what I do since I prefer matts too.
I love how pigmented it is and it seems to last for a long time. I might have to check this out?
It’s really pretty ?
I’m a big fan of Mac lip products but have never tried this color. It’s absolutely beautiful and I could totally see myself wearing it!
Glad that you discovered something new ? MAC lip products are the best! ?
Love the shade❤❤
So pretty ?
That’s a really pretty color!
Seriously ?
Ooooh I love this shade! I just ordered a matte lipstick from MAC today (: it’ll be my second from them haha I’m sure you get asked this a lot, but what camera do you use?
Can’t wait to see your order, as for the camera, I use my phone ?? I have the iPhone 5s ??
Long lasting lipstick is always good. Thanks for the tip.
You are welcome! Thanks for stopping by xx
I can’t get over the sticky feel of Mac glosses, my hair always ends up sticking to it 🙁 I prefer a matte lipstick personally!
I prefer mattes too ??
I tend to find stickiness and that weird kind of scent off-putting with glosses, but I do like that it seems quite long-lasting and it looks lovely on; shiny yet understated in the subtle shade. x
The scent goes away after awhile, I just don’t understand why it’s so bad ??
MAC lipglass is everything. I love all things MAC lipcolor.
This lipgloss is so pretty and pigmented! I prefer mattes but the color is just stunning
I’m here waiting for mac to to a matt liquid lipstick or a lipstick in this shade ahha
Love the lipglass formula and that colour looks so pretty! Great review x
Thank you sweetie, the colour is sooooo cute ?
What a great review! I am a huge MAC fan, so I will have to try this.
Thank you darling xx
