Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the MAC Pretty Shiny Things Lipglass in the shade Ice Orchid from the holiday collection.
I kind of fell in love with this collection, Julia and I talked about the other pieces in this post NEW | MAC Shine Pretty Little Things Collection and the lip products were what caught my attention, guarantee I got the most neutral shades but I know myself and I know I’d use them to death.
This collection has the prettiest mirrored packaging, it’s super eye-catching but very chic.
You can get it here for 18,50$
COLOUR
On the website, the shade is described as Midtone Cool Pink.
PACKAGING
The packaging is a thick and relatively small tube in a hard plastic material with a mirrored cup. The shade name is written on the bottom in the usual MAC style.
It comes in a really pretty silvery box with fuchsia details which I really like.
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.
The scent is not the same as the other lipglass, finally because I hated it, it’s definitely sweet maybe a bit fake.
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 super shiny.
Lipglass is seriously the perfect name, your lips will be like glass.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
Since it is so sticky it is a very long lasting product I’d say about 4 hours.
RATING:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Comfort: 8/10
- Scent: 7/10
- Packaging: 10/10
GRADE: A-
I like this gloss, I like the effect 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 product and you are ok with sticky glosses, I would totally recommend it to you. I can see myself wearing this a lot.

That color looks good on you. As much an I love MAC, the stickiness of the lip glass can be a little too much for me.
Mimi dice
Thank you! It could be quite annoying I agree

How sticky is it? Like if the wind was to blow your hair, would your hair stick to your lips? lol
I haven’t used lip glosses since I was 12/13 but I’m happy to try some 🙂 I really want to get a few things from the holiday collection at MAC!
Mimi dice
Yeah that sticky.. almost feels like honey. The girls at Mac will make you try it so (they have disposable gloss applicators so you can see it for yourself). I really don’t mind though
hoiyinli dice
Oh…not sure about that cos I have long hair that I never tie up and it’s pretty windy nowadays lol
Mimi dice
Ok I think you should pass in that case xx
