Yikes! Only time will tell if we MAC it through all of these concurrent releases today, ladies. It’s as if MAC’s trying to give us makeup conniptions! 🙂
Say howdy to the new Dazzleglass Creme glosses ($18) and Zoom Fast Black Lash Mascara ($13). They join Style Black on counters today.
Remember those sheer, non-sticky Cremesheen Glass glosses from earlier this year? Well, these Dazzleglass Cremes kinda look like shimmery versions.
I see some nice colors here, but I really haven’t been able to concentrate on ’em yet because of that blasted Zoom Fast Black Lash. It just looks so awesome! The newest member of MAC’s mascara family, MAC says it delivers incredibly dark, midnight black lashes. With hella high hopes, I grabbed a tube to test. I’ll let you know how it turns out!

Shocking developments
I can hardly believe it myself, but this morning I found a Miley Cyrus song I really like, and that’s not something I ever expected to happen. It’s called Party in the USA.
Have you heard it yet?
I never really understood the Cult of Miley/Hannah Montana thing, but dang! — this song is fun to sing.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

September 24th, 2009 at 4:05 pmWoooow!!! If I haven’t been excited about the Dazzleglases yet, I have a feeling I’m about to! I love every single color! Do it up & Perfectly Unordinary shall be mine! And I don’t even like lipglosses…Love love love the colors…any swatches soon?
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:30 pmHi Sonja,
It depends on how things go down on Monday… I’m saving my duckets for Dsquared!
Tavia says
September 24th, 2009 at 4:18 pmPerfectly Unordinary and My Favourite Pink are the best so far. Gorgeous colors, how can you just not love pink forever? 🙂

September 24th, 2009 at 9:30 pmHi Tavia,
I had a feeling you’d like those colors!
Sarab says
September 24th, 2009 at 4:35 pmI’m probably trying luscious spark (only if it’s more orangey than coral) and amorous but that will be in one month at least… that’s when theese collections will arrive to Mexico, but hey! they didn’t bring collections before.
Karen, I hope you post more about the new MAC releases, I’m in bed with my injured back and bored to death after two days and I have three more to come!!
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:28 pmHi Sarab,
Sorry to hear you’re under the weather. Is your back feeling better? I hope so.
sdpfeiffy says
September 24th, 2009 at 4:37 pmOh Amorous… I don’t even like Mac lippies (scent-wise) and I’m on an extremely extended No-Buy, *and* the last thing I need is another high-maintenance lip, but mmmm… somehow you need to live at my house.
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:27 pmHi Sdpfeiffy,
LOL!
amy says
September 24th, 2009 at 4:52 pmI picked up Sublime Shine and Creme Allure and I might go back after the weekend to pick up Do it up too. I think I am lemming Perfectly Unordinary and My Favourite Pink too!

amy says
September 24th, 2009 at 5:19 pmHmm with all this excitement over the colour cosmetics, I completely forgot about the new mascara. The original Zoom lash is just OK for me, so I would need to check this one out if it more dramatic.

Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:26 pmHi Amy,
I wore it today… so far, so good. It does a good job of thickening, lengthening and holding the curl. The only thing I couldn’t quite determine was if it smudges. I was wearing black shadow along my lower lash line, so it was hard to tell.
Have you tried Dazzlelash? It’s pretty good — I love the small brush!
Christina says
September 24th, 2009 at 6:42 pmThose colors are gorgeous, but seem a little too sparkly for me.
And so you don’t feel alone… yes, last night I found myself singing along to that song before I knew what hit me. I rolled up my windows so no one would overhear and laugh. 😉

Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:25 pmHi Christina,
Aww, I wouldn’t laugh at you! I’d tell you to turn it up!
Marilyn says
September 24th, 2009 at 6:43 pmThanks for the swatches! I am super excited about these Dazzleglass Cremes–I have one regular Dazzleglass and find it underwhelming. I can’t wait to try them out 🙂
.-= Marilyn’s last blog post… Thank you, to my entire running posse! =-.
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:21 pmHi Marilyn,
Sure thing! I hope you find one you love.
Rebecca says
September 24th, 2009 at 6:44 pm*gasp* I am in LOVE with amorous! I’m not sure if I could pull it off, but it looks so gorgeous I’m going to have to try. I like soft dazzle for a more laid-back choice as well.

Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:21 pmHi Rebecca,
Amorous seems to be a crowd favorite! Let me know if you end up getting it!
Faye says
September 24th, 2009 at 6:48 pmI think you have to be between 9 and 13 to get the Miley Cyrus thing, Karen :). I suppose we had our thing back in the day (The Backstreet Boys? Britney pre-breakdown?).
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:20 pmHi Faye,
LOL, I am afraid that Tim Gunn would find my taste level “questionable.”
I can’t lie, I own an N’Sync album or three.
ezzie says
September 24th, 2009 at 6:56 pmooh, the creme glosses look so yummy!
i’m really liking perfectly unordinary and soft dazzle(:
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:20 pmHi Ezzie,
Happy early birthday!
Ashley says
September 24th, 2009 at 7:11 pmEhh.. I’m still not feeling Mac! I must be an alien 🙁
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:19 pmHi Ashley,
Hmm, what is it about the line that you don’t like? Are you more of a neutrals girl? If so, they have a ton of really wearable colors in the permanent line.
Meghan says
September 24th, 2009 at 7:25 pmHoly guacamole, Amorous is so hot it sizzles! I think I am in love, but I’m not sure it would work for me. Off to the mac counter …

September 24th, 2009 at 9:18 pmHi Meghan,
Did ya end up getting it?
Stef says
September 24th, 2009 at 7:57 pmI think Miley Cyrus songs have crack in them. What else could explain people kinda liking them? (including myself).
.-= Stef’s last blog post… I heart the LA County Fair =-.
Karen says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:15 pmHi Stef,
They must! It’s the only logical explanation, really.
Ellie says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:16 pmI love Luscious Spark! It reminds me of a favorite lipgloss I picked up on vacation in high school- the label wore off a long time ago, so I have no idea where it was from!
kat says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:33 pmi know what you mean! i’m not a fan of miley cyrus, it fact, i’m kinda anti miley (sorry miley fans!). However some of her songs are really catchy esp party in the usa. U just can’t help but sing along!
Sara says
September 24th, 2009 at 10:27 pmI got 3 of the dazzleglass cream.. LOVE THEM! Super fab. I went to the Miley concert last week. It was a great show! ( I took my 7 year old, lol) But I had fun too!!

Marina says
September 25th, 2009 at 3:49 amI love almost all the colors!!! But corals are the best anyway 🙂
As for mascara why do you like it so much,Karen?
It looks just like an ordinary mascara to me, but we’ll see how it looks like on lashes.

September 25th, 2009 at 5:00 amLOL, Karen. I own a Spice Girls CD, I’m not judging :).
Lydia says
September 25th, 2009 at 5:15 amI never got the hang of the usual dazzle-glasses, too sticky. I’ll try these ones, though.
Btw, I have Miley’s album, she rocks, I love her (thus spake the 3 year-old).
amy says
September 25th, 2009 at 12:51 pmHi Karen,
Yes I have tried Dazzle Lash I liked it. It is not super volume or lengthening but it is great for flirty lashes and separates well and makes my lashes more visible.

Veronica says
September 25th, 2009 at 3:14 pmLOVE the dazzleglass collection.! they’re very sparkly, so a little will go a looong way. and over a matching lip combination, they give it that little umph to make the lips stand out. 🙂
Solé says
September 25th, 2009 at 4:38 pmI want Luscious Spark, and Totally Fab, and I am absolutely enamored with Amorous. I love how shimmery they are!
Marce says
September 25th, 2009 at 7:47 pmHowdy 😀
I might just splurge on one of these glosses. Can’t wait till they come out here, I want to swatch them on my skin to see what they look like!
