Mac Dare to Wear lipglass review

I have just realised that most of my recent posts focused on lip products, which must make you think I only buy lipsticks and lipglosses (okay, okay, I did have that huge eyeshadow and blush haul from In The Groove a month ago, so maybe not). Since I wasn't interested in the eyeshadows in the recent Mac collections, and an awful lot of lovely lip products came out at the same time, I'm afraid I will carry on with the trend and show you the new lipglosses from Mac's Dare to Wear collection. I bought them along with dazzle lipsticks and goodies from the Alice + Olivia collection, details of that haul can be found here. Mac came out with a new formula that is much more pigmented than the other lipglosses they do, and have a more whipped formula, although they are also quite sticky, but probably not as much as their normal lipglasses. They are shimmery, so similar to dazzleglasses, but unlike those, these Dare to Ware glosses are very pigmented and also very long lasting. They even last through a meal which is very unusual for me. There's approximately 3 times more products in them than dazzleglasses. The tubes are long and thin and they have doe foot applicators. They come in 6 shades and of course I had to get them all. The colours are all vibrant, ranging from pale pink with blue glitter through bright red to deep purple. The shades are: Bold & Brash, Gimme That!, Ban This!, Dare to Dare, So Bad, Wind Me Up. My favourite ones are Gimme That and Wind Me Up, but I can honestly say they are all lovely. If you're not into very bright colours, try Dare to Dare or Wind Me Up as they are the least bright.

My recent Mac haul

I'm back! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted on here, but I've had a lot less spare time lately. What with having a new kicthen installed and all the cleaning and sorting out that followed, and children at home on their summer holiday, I've hardly had any time for myself. What little I've had I've spent reading forums and blogs and searching eBay for bargains. I also never got around to taking photos of my new purchases, let alone looks, so there wasn't much to write about. But now... as we've entered into August, that means Mac has launched its new collections and of course I've had to endulge. Unfortunately it turned out that the UK isn't getting everything from the new Digi Pops collection, including the new dazzleglasses and the Look in the box sets. I wasn't bothered about the box sets, but I really wanted some of the dazzleglasses, although luckily it seems I may be able to get them from a very nice person on Spektra. I have placed a rather large order with Mac the day the new collections were launched on the website and my black box arrived this afternoon. So I thought I'd show you what I got and I will try and take pictures of swatches and possible looks over the next few days as well - we'll see how that works out. But for now, here's the details and some pictures of my haul:

Upcoming Mac collections in the UK

I have e-mailed Mac to find out which collections are coming out in August and I was told that there are 3 collections: Alice + Olivia (which was supposed to be North America and Asia only originally), Dare to Wear and Digi Pops. The collections are all due out on the first Thursday of the month, which will be the 5th August, and will be online Tuesday 3rd. Alice + Olivia will be exclusive to the Mac website and Harrods only. Digi Pops and Dare to Wear will launch in all locations, except for the Digi Pops Brush Browser which is going to be exclusive to the Mac website and Harvey Nichols only.
