Lip swatches of the five Lipglasses from the MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions Collection. Please excuse the hair! I took the world’s fastest shower before taking these pics and have absolutely no idea what’s going on with the birds nest on top of my head.

Nitro:licious 2046
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
You’re so lucky to have such nice white teeth that helps All My Purple Life look so good on you! If I wore that beautiful colour, my teeth would look jaundiced!!! 🙂
GURL, I swear it helps to drink coffee/red wine/tea out with a straw. I learned that trick from one of my good friends from college — she’s a dentist!
Nitro:licious 2046 is sooo prettyy
It’s quite sassy, yeah?
You look great in every single shade! Especially Evolution Revolution. Great job on that, by the way, it looks hot! =]
Thanks, Vijaya! That’s sweet of you to say!
i can’t wait to pick up evolution revolution, all my purple life and sonoran rain! soooo excited!! =) thanks for the swatches! i think your hair looks very beachy!
Aww, thanks! I feel like it’s a hot mess, LOL!
Wow, these all look amazing on you Karen! i know that purple wouldn’t look so hot on me, but it does on you!
Hi Jessi,
I’m wearing the purple built up… maybe if you did a light stain? You could totally rock it!
OMG Everything looks brilling on you!:D Especially Caqui 🙂
That’s such a fun shade! 🙂
Actually, I like the way your hair looks (seriously). It gives the pix a casual feel – and isn’t that what lipgloss is about?
Anyhoo, since I’m not one for purple or orange lip colours (as yet), I’d say all the rest look amazing!
Question: How do you make Ev Rev work on lips that have two colours? I find that light lips look alright on my lower lip (which has a deep rose pigment), but look ‘odd’ (to me) on my upper lip, which is a dark brown colour.
BTW, that Sonoran Rain looks sassy and fun!
Hi Shiny,
I know what you’re saying. I have a friend who has lips that are lighter on the top an darker on the bottom. You might want to line and fill in your lips first with a nude pencil — prolly something like MAC Subculture first.
Sonoran Rain is fun! The gal behind it, Aileen, is a sweetheart.
will do – Thanks! Hope the weather’s going to be nicer in San Fran than it is in TO (it looks like rain)
It’s been really nice here in the North Bay — sunny and in the 70s! Summer’s finally here, yay!
What are you up to this weekend?
Sonoran Rain looks AWESOME on you. It goes really well with your skin tone/color. I totally want it. That’s probably my favorite out of this line.
You would rock it so hard!
Evolution Revolution looks totally gorgeous! And I love Nitro:licious 2046 on you, too.
Thanks, Larie. 🙂
is there a lip color you don’t look good in?
LOL, I look pretty awful in light nude beiges!!!
What are you up to this weekend?
I’m gonna dream of an allergy free life and Chris Benz lancome GWP bag. 🙂 you?
I’m gonna dream of an allergy free life too, heh!
My weekend’s gonna be pretty mellow: watching Super 8 tonight, cleaning tomorrow and then family time on Sunday. My parents and brother are coming over to our house to celebrate my bday, my brother’s bday and father’s day. My mom’s making a bunch of Filipino dishes so I don’t have to cook, yay!
Here, here … they ALL look amazing on you! Cant wait for EvRev, it is totally my kind of color!!!
Hi Tierra,
Yay! I’m happy to hear you <3 it. 🙂
P.S: could you also do the eyeshadows? Pleeez?
Working on it. I have to go walk the cat first, LOL! Been swatching all morning and he’s ANGRY because I haven’t taken him out yet.
Gorgeous!!! I LOVE them all but especially Ev. Rev., All of my Purple Life and Sonoran. I want them all! 🙂
🙂 Yay! I’m so glad you like the colors!
Hi Karen!
I honestly love Soronan Rain and Evolution Revolution 🙂
But all the lipglass’ are quite gorgeous!
Err.. sonoran rather**
Hi Zeadelle,
Happy Friday! 🙂 Glad to hear you like EvRev. I like Sonoran Rain too… it should be pretty with cat eyes!
You look gorgeous!i like them all.
Thank you, Raquel. Are you planning on picking up anything from the release?
I would love to,but unfortunately you cannot buy then here and mac don’t ship to ireland.tsk!
Karen, lean over here a sec!
*looks around*
Shhh….
Evolution Revolution is the prettiest.
Don’t tell the others.
*whistles nonchalantly*
JEN! 🙂 I’m so glad you like it. You just put the biggest smile on my face!
I happened to see Christine’s swatches first this morning, and only really liked Sonoran Rain and EvoRevo. Now I look at yours and they’re all GORGEOUS on you! Sheesh, at least I know I’m a lot closer to her color than yours, and these would not look so amazing on me. Sonoran Rain and EvoRevo it is!
You’re going to look amazing in Sonoran Rain! 🙂
Aw, thank you, Karen. I’ll take a picture when I’m wearing both (not at the same time) and send them to you 🙂 Oooo, I just had an idea! What if a whole bunch of your readers do the same thing and allow you to post them? Then we could all show how EvoRevo looks for different people, AND it’d all be celebrating the amazing story of its creation.
Evolution Revolution is definitely my favorite (and not just because I heart your blog!) I love milky peachy pink light colors and the name is awesome; EvRev might have to be my first MAC lipglass. I hope they don’t sell out before I can get my hands on one—
I hope that you make it your first MAC Lipglass! I’d be honored! 🙂
These are great and I’m so glad you’ve shown All of My Purple Life because it looks great on you (it had been terrifying me in the tube)! Of course, Ev-Rev is a must have. 🙂
Btw, your hair looks great in the pics. Like you’ve been at the beach, in a good way. You know, Bumble & Bumble is charging a pretty penny for a styling product that gives gals hair like that. And you can get it with a quick shower! Take that, B&B. 🙂
All of My Purple Life is fun… plus, you gotta love that it quotes a Prince song.
They all look gorgeous on you!
Thanks, Gio! 🙂
Wow, now I want Caqui and Sonoran Rain in addition to Jealousy Wakes and ER. I think I have to sell an organ to pay for all this. Anyone need a kidney? 😛
LOL!
You look so stinkin’ good in EVERY color!
Aww, thanks. I have to point out that I pretty scary in light nude beige lipglosses, LOL!
Karen – Evolution Revolution looks great on you!!
🙂
I loved the purple color too – But not sure if I can carry it well.
Hi Neetha,
If you love the purple you should go for it! 🙂
They all look so wonderful,especially on you!
*love*
xoxo
Glad you like the Lipglasses, Karo!
I love your gloss a lot but the purple one looks AMAZING on you! I also love the way your hair looks like on the photos 😉
That shade is so much fun! 🙂
You look SO SO SO gorgeous with the purple one!! Caqui looks amazing too!
Thanks, Cacau. 🙂
Corals and purple – love!
Me too!
Sonoran Rain is really HOT! The purple one is gorgeous too! I have a feeling I might need all 5 of them!
Awesome, Vonvon! 🙂 I’m so happy to hear you love ’em.
Karen, what blush do you have on in all these pictures? You look great.
Definitely getting ER 😀
Hi Livvy,
Thanks, girl! I’m wearing NARS Orgasm Blush (the powder version).
I’m thrilled to hear you’re picking up a tube of EvRev. YAY!!! 🙂
Ah, thank you! I prefer more neutral lip colors myself, and your lipgloss is just…ahh..to die for to say the least! lol
Hey Karen!
Whats the color difference with the last two..Sonoran and Nitro? Both appear a red, but one seems more raspberry?
Thanks!
Ooh it’s too bad these are only online! I have my heart set on Caqui and All of my Purple Life…so pretty!
Hello, blogger-inspired glosses!
So far I’ve only read the back stories on EvRev (on MBB) and All My Purple Life (on Afrobella), but all of these glosses are gorgeous! And I’m pleasantly surprised by Nitro:Licious 2046 – the shade description I read sounded like something I can’t wear… but how can I resist a gloss named after the movie 2046?
I should start a petition to get EvRev sold in Manila – beauty junkies would be all over that when they find out it’s been created and inspired by a Pinay 😉
Besides EvRev (of course), I’m really liking the look of Caqui.
love your hair style in those pictures
I can’t til the 21st. It’s also my eldest son, Elliott, third birthday!!! After this collection I’m on no buy for makeup. Btw I love how everything looks so awesome on you. Have a wonderful weekend Karen.
I could never pull off purple on my lips. But anyway, Caqui looks so pretty!
I’m hoping I can snag your Evolution Revolution! You look STUNNING sporting red lips!
Love them all and we have a similar colouring too…how do I choose after I put myself on a no buy….sigh! Great work!
They all look great on you!
Hi Karen,
Do you think Ev Rev will show up on darker pink lips? I find that the nudes always end up looking clear on me even though I’m pale! :-/
thanks!
Sonoran Rain looks so so pretty on you, Karen!
You look great in all of these colors! And I like your hair in these pics 🙂
I want the three reddish ones, but I always want the reds, so that’s not surprising! Of course, it goes without saying that I’ll be getting Ev Rev, too :D. The purple is beautiful as well, but sadly wouldn’t look good on me :(. It looks great on you, however (all of them do!).
You look best with Evolution Revolution! =)
Everyone has said it before, but you look stunning in all of the colors! Like, I’d be looking like a corpse with purple lips – but you look so.. voluptuous 🙂 My favs are EvoRevo and Sonoran Rain… Good job with the versatility of your shade!
I have my heart set on Caqui I think it would really suit me! It’s like the perfect red shade, aaaaaah I must have it!
Love the purple one and the evolution revolution of course!
Love your hair, great colors!
I absolutely LOVE the last lipgloss (Nitro:licious 2046), it looks amazing!!
Karen, you look so beautiful!
Of course the lipglasses gave you a hand, but you look particularly pretty…
I love the swatches, thank you! This post is also a great reminder of the difference lipgloss can make to a whole look – need to start wearing minimal eye makeup and coloured glosses a bit more..
Have a lovely weekend Karen! Those Filipino dishes you mentioned above sound lovely.. 😛
evolution is better of all. goes with everything!!!!!!!!
evolution revolution is number one on my list!
i’m definitely odering evolution and all of my purle life…i can’t wait until they come out! 🙂
Yay, thanks Rhonda! 🙂
Wow! You look amazing in all the lip colors, but I like you the best in your own EvRev:)
I am loving the “natural” look with the EvRev and the NARS Orgasm blush.
Will definitely order EvRev (I have a feeling this will be my go-to lipglass so I have to pick up a couple or more tubes yay!), Sonoran Rain, and Nitro:licious 2046.
Thanks, Karen for creating such a versatile lipglass! I am logging on to the MAC website now to order:)
