wearing MAC’s new Mineralize Glass in modern romance ($22), one of 12 shades available now
This one’s absolutely for the gals on team Cremesheen (of which I’m one!). The new MAC Mineralize Glass lipglosses are the bombdizzle (did I really just say that?), especially if you appreciate the incredibly smooth texture of the Cremesheens and love hella hydrating glosses.

MBB fun FACT: I always bring a tube of Deelight Cremesheen Glass with me whenever I travel by plane 1) because I lurve it and 2) because of how dry my lips get, but I may have to cheat on Deelight a little with one of these new Mineralize Glasses… They’re just SO moisturizing — maybe even a little a lot more than the Cremesheens — and have a similarly silky smooth, non-sticky texture.

Could the secret to their hydrating handiness be hiding among the 77 moisturizing minerals (of which I can’t find a list) packed into each tube? Misschien! I do have to say that my perpetually parched pout feels smoother, softer and quenched when I wear them.
The texture, while similar to the Cremesheens, feels a touch thicker to me. When I apply a Cremesheen Glass and rub my lips together, the formula feels very thin and nearly watery, whereas the feel of these Mineralize Glasses reminds me of a MAC Plushglass…except without the bee sting.

They come in 12 shades, grouped into Frost and cream finishes, and I’m kinda hot for the Frosts…

Hot for the Frosts? LOL!
The Frosts! You know how some frosty glosses can clear up into lip lines and look funky? These don’t do that. Both the Frosts and the Creams apply smoothly and evenly, and they don’t pool into different areas of my lips or look patchy.
I think MAC did a bang-up job with these finishes.

As for pigment, well, the four I’ve tried are moderately sheer, rather than fully opaque.
Is dat goed of slecht? Ik weet het niet. It depends on what you’re looking for. If you crave incredibly rich, incredibly intense color, I’d probably reach for one of the a lot more intensely pigmented Lipglasses or pro Longwear Lipglasses instead, but if you just want a comfy, easy-to-wear gloss you can toss into your purse, and you like MAC’s signature vanilla flavor and scent (I do), I think these are great.
Speaking of the flavor and scent, I’m so used to after all these years that’s it’s become sort of comforting to me, like the makeup equivalent of coming and having a grilled cheese sandwich on the couch while enjoying real Housewives. It’s just absolutely right.

And then there’s the wear time… because these are somewhat thin and less sticky than, say, a Lipglass, I do have to reapply about every 2-3 hours, which I don’t really mind, because I like how they feel.
I’d say that if you’re already a fan of the Cremesheens and/or like how the Plushglasses feel, give ’em a try. Ik ben een fan.
PRICE: $22 each
