MAC Tinted Lipglass in C-Thru

~About the Company~
MAC was founded in Canada by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo in 1985. MAC opened their first standalone store in the United States in 1991.
MAC is a highly reputable company loved by celebrities, models, make up artists and us alike.

MAC is also a keen charity donator to AIDS.
MAC believe in high quality cosmetics and skincare that work, are quick, easy and last a long time.

~About the Product / What the Product Says To Do~
On MAC Cosmetics official website they have 28 different shades in different textures. In their actual stores they have more colour choices.
Online though their colour range goes from daring red, purple, and brown to more wearable colours such as light pink, shimmers, nude colours, there is even some pretty pearl colours. There is something to suit everyone.

This lipglass creates high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen, which ever you chose.
It is highly pigmented, very shiny and perfect for any occasion and where you want to make a statement.

This product contains ingredients such as Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips.

~Application~
Application of this product is very easy; it comes with a sponge applicator inside that helps to provide a quick, smooth and even application. The applicator is very soft and the right size for your lips without going over the lip line.

Normally if I am wearing a lipgloss alone I would use a lipliner to stop the lipgloss from bleeding but with this product I feel I don't need a lipliner so that is one less product to use.


~Texture/Packaging/Colour~
This product comes in a 4.8g clear tube so you can see the colour and how much you have left. On the side of the tube you will see in black writing MAC Lipglass, the lid itself is black.

The texture of this lipglass on the lips can feel sticky, but also has staying power that will last a long time. The thing I don't like is when it is windy outside your hair sticks to your lips but you will find this with a lot of lipglosses.
Their lipglasses come in cream and frost finishes.

This lipglass is soft peached-beige colour with shimmer partials for light reflection.

Because I am reviewing the colour C-Thru the smell is more of a light vanilla not to power powering but a lovely smell.
You don't need a lot of this product, it glides on so smooth and because it is highly pigmented a little goes a long way.

~My Opinion~
I love my lipglosses and lipsticks but I wanted a nude colour and something a bit more upmarket than the other ones I have in my collection. I searched many forums and a lot of people came up with MAC products.

I went into Debenhams as I wanted a professional recommendation and not just looking on their website and hope for the best. The lady there recommended C-Thur Lipglass to me (I have fair skin). When it is applied to the lips it is a lovely soft peached-beige with shimmer partials. Looks absolutely beautiful one and great with eyeshadow or not. Defiantly makes the lips stand out, look fuller and so shiny.

I did think the price tag for this lipglass at £11.50 was a bit much and it is easy to get carried away with their products but you get what you pay for and because it is good quality and lasts a long time I think the price can be justified.

It does come off on coffee cups and glasses, which you would expect from any other lipgloss. So afterwards you will have to re-apply. Otherwise this product lasts a long time on the lips.
I also find throughout the day it dries my lips out and I have to apply a thick layer of lipbalm before going to bed otherwise I wake up with horrid lips.

~Price and Where to Buy~
On MAC's official website http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk it is priced at £11.50, but this is also the same price as in store. You can get it cheaper from auction sites such as eBay but please be aware there are a lot of fake MAC products on there and you may not be getting the real deal.

~Would I Recommend/Purchase Again~
Yes it is a beautiful lipglass, I would like more colours now,

Summary: A lipglass I will want again and again
