Advantages: Huge range of colours, perfect glossiness, I love it! Disadvantages: Well, £10.50 isn't what I'd call CHEAP.
I heard of MAC a long time ago. The first time I got near their products was in Carnaby Street, in one of their few little stores. Visiting MAC is a rare occasion for me because they really don't sell in many places, and I've found in conversations with friends that they're not very well known. However, I'm a bit of a makeup 'collector' and had read through many places of their lipglass. When first seeing MAC products, they never really appealed ... ...research, I visited a little MAC store in Cardiff. At first it was hard to find the lipglass in the store. I had to ask an assistant who directed me to a very small rack of lipglass. After scanning the different colours, I picked one called 'Zazoom'. Yes, partly because it began with 'Zaz', which is a nickname popular amongst family for me. The other reason was that it was pink and had glitter in, which is always a good thing! However, picking your ...

MAC Lipglass, soft and squeezable plastic tube with screwcap, £8 per tube
Yes it is perhaps a tad expensive, but this product should last a very very long time unless you overindulge slightly!
I bought MAC lipglass for the first time when I was about 16 years old. My reason for buying it was only due to the fact that my sister-in-law was a major fan of the makeup brand and recommended it to me - the best recommendation I have ever had! I lost it ... ...could. The problem with buying MAC products in the UK is that not many places sell them. There is of course a website, but as far as I know, they don't offer online purchasing yet. In Ireland, the only place I've found it is in Brown and Thomas department stores in Dublin - but keep looking!
As a lipglass, it truly is amazing. As I've mentioned in the title, it tends to be a little on the sticky, gloopy side, but this is what makes it so long-lasting. ...

Advantages: It leaves you with scrummy kissable lips! Disadvantages: Application can have you applying a bit too much
...then told me it was Mac Lip glass and she had got it in Debenhams, in town (Belfast). Well, l knew there and then l was on a mission to purchase some, next time l got into town!
Needless to say that l bought a tube that weekend!! The colour l chose was Spite – the same as Julies – it was fab! The tube was just under a tenner – pricey for some but l was previously buying Clinque gloss and the difference really wasn’t that incredible.
So l ran to ... ...your colour with an inconspicuous Mac logo, and simple screw top black top, which the sponge applicator is attached too.
Application
I did find that you can perhaps take too much of the gloss on the applicator so make sure you clean the excess before applying to your lips. It slides on like a good gloss should, and l would recommend 2 thin layers of application to get the perfect glossy, kissable pout.

Advantages: long lasting, great taste Disadvantages: sticks to hair, a bit pricey
MAC Lipglass...who knew something so big would take over,but yet be so compact? Everything about the gloss screams chic! The slick design makes you a proud owner of the gloss, whilst the smooth use of the lid oozes quality, making you just want to carry it around with you!
From the inside, the applicator is just the right size to discretely fit into your hands for easy application. The gloss itself is made up of quite a thick formula, which helps ... ...Another positive point about the MAC range is the intense flavours/scents they come in. Personally, I prefer 'Lust' as the creamy vanilla is a perfect treat. Each dip into the bottle provides just the right amount of gloss for the whole application due to the thickness.
Personally, I have never been a fan of using lip pencils or lipsticks, so finding the right gloss was somewhat a battle. However I dont have this problem with Lipglass, as the colour ...

Advantages: Lipgloss that goes the distance Disadvantages: a bit sticky when first applied
...Now, I stumbled across MAC lipglass unexpectedley last summer. I wasn't even looking for a lippy, I had resigned myself to the fact that it was a worthless cause. I was instead trying to make my way out of selfridges in London after buying a birthday gift for my mum, I stopped to have a quick glimpse at the MAC haircare products and before you know it I was kidnapped by a MAC makeup assistant. I am useless with these people and also a sucker for ... ...it...I knew that just maybe MAC might have the answer to my now abandoned hunt for a good lippy....and indeed they did!
There it stood amongst the tray of other equally as fantastic products. MAC lipglass. A small inoffencive tube containing a concotion of clear gunk. I reached out and removed some from its easy squeeze tube and put the smallest amount on to the tip of my finger. It spread beautifully over my lips and fixed itself perfectley as ...

Advantages: Last for ages and gives a fantastic shine Disadvantages: The pric - but it's worth it
Mac Lipglass, as far as I’m concerned is the best lip gloss on the planet. It comes in a small cylindrical screw top container, which as they do say, it’s quality not quantity that matters. Also it’s size means it can fit in the smallest handbags in the world, which is very important.
One of the benefits of MAC Lipglass is that it stays on for a lot longer than any of the other lip glosses that I own and that you don’t actually ... ...I know there is a MAC store in Covent Garden. Another benefit of buying this, as well as any other MAC product, is the high level of service you will receive from the MAC assistants. They will put some on you so you can see how it looks, where as if you just buy a gloss of the shelve of the chemist, you will not receive such personal attention. Another positive aspect to the product, which may seem a tad odd, is the taste. Many lip glosses taste ...

...simply by itself. Mac Lipglass is a brilliant investment for your kissers; it doesn't absorb, which means it has great durability - it doesn't leave lips dry (although it doesn't exactly moisturise them either), and all the stars wear it. Apparently. Although I can't really see Gwyneth Paltrow's hair getting stuck to her glasses via her lipgloss. Is it just me? ...

Advantages: extremely glossy Disadvantages: sticks to hair and a bit gloopy
I first came accross Mac Lipglass after reading about it in several girly magazines - often it was presented in those features where you see what make up celebs are using. I'd been looking for a good lip gloss for a while and decided to buy one of these after it came so highly recommended. I got the clear lipglass which is as it says a clear lip gloss from the Mac shop (they have so much wonderful make up!) It cost me £8 I think and was fantastic. ... ...You can now find the Mac brand in many department stores such as Debenhams, House Of Fraser and Selfridges - so you don't have to venture to the actual Mac shops. Mac staff are always really helpful and friendly too, if you're not sure about certain products , they will sit you down and test a few shades with you to find the best to suit you. They have never been pushy with me either. I'd highly recommend this lip gloss of you are looking for a long ...

...a lip gloss made by Mac that stays on and doesn't do a vanishing act like most do. You also know the feeling Girl's were you want a little shine over your lip colour and apply a little gloss only to find the next time you look in the mirror and finding bleeding lines ...I wasn't being foul mouthed there Guy's Ha Ha but that's what it's called when you see all coloured lines around the edge of a Woman's mouth and it's not very flattering.
Well anyway ... ...so then I enquired and found the nearest place was Manchester, I never get to shop there much with it being a bit of a distance, maybe it's just a 30 minute drive from Liverpool but that was no help to me because I can't drive.

Advantages: fantastic shine, nice smell, great colour choices, lasting. Disadvantages: not much for price, maybe hard to find depending on location.
I've been reading about MAC products and seen them used in magazines for so long now, and eventually I cracked under the pressure from that slightly insane voice in my the back of my head telling me that life would be that much better if I had a lipglass. Fortunately the crazy voice, although maybe over enthusiastic about what is simply something to make you look pretty, was indeed correct. So a lipglass won't change your life but it can make you ... ...here, Allders/Debenhams etc have a MAC counter. Still I figured London isn't THAT far away and dragged myself down to the MAC store in covent garden. I already had an idea of what I wanted having looked at the MAC website, and chose the shade Boy Magnet. It's a bright, blue toned, fuschia pink, not for the faint hearted. It looks great on me though.(Chosen as it's a ltd ed, from the pop mode collection which was released march '03)

Advantages: (+) shade range (+) modern, sleek packaging (+) nice texture (+) lasts (+) assorted formats/textures (+) alone or over lipstick Disadvantages: None, unless you begrudge paying £10.50
I buy MAC cosmetics on a weekly basis (yes, I am a MAC addict!) yet I still get excited when buying a MAC lipglass. I buy all my MAC goods from a local House of Fraser (nearest to me) or, when in town, from the local Fenwick store. Both counters - they're not the free-standing stores - carry a massive range of lipglass shades and 'formats', i.e. Tinted, and so on. Although I've got nearly every shade going, I continue to purchase lipglasses because, ... ...begrudge paying these prices because MAC is one of the very few brands that is perfect, not just for me but for everyone else. I used less expensive brands for years and they were terrible - eyeshadow would crease, lipgloss would disappear, mascara would flake...MAC does not do any of this, the lipglasses are perfect. They are not sticky yet they have great staying power, useful for people like me who have a habit of licking their lips!
So go on, ...

Quick review of MAC Lipgloss
Training as a make-up artist, i have a used a variety of products including products from MAC. I have always been impressed with the quality of their ranges. I bought this lipgloss from the MAC website in the 'Sonic Vibe' shade. I found that the gloss was easily applied, stayed put for a lengthy amount of time and best of all..didnt make my lips feel sticky. One thing i did find was that my lips were slightly tinted the next day but this is true of most lipsticks/lipglosses. Overall, i love the product :) ...

...was over when I found MAC Lipglass. It comes in a variety of colours and you can get it in either the cylindrical shaped packaging or in a tue. I personally prefer the tube, but the other is also amazing. The lipgloss is extremely glossy but without being sparkly or glittery. It is very thick, and the only disadvantage is that is can get very sticky. It looks great at any time of the day and can g over a lipstick which looks fantastic or on its own ...

Advantages: Great colours Disadvantages: Quite expensive
MAC Lipglasses cost £10.50, which is quite a lot for a 4.8g tube, but they are worth it! They are very glossy, and non-drying. They come in a wide range of colours - there's something out there to suit everybody, whether you're after a natural look, or something that really stands out and gets you noticed!
They staying power is actually quite good for a gloss, although you do want to keep your hair tied back if it's windy as your hair will stick ... ...the lips)
