MAC Summer Sweetheart Lipglass - Archie's Girls Collection - Review, Photos, Swatches, FOTD

MAC Summer Sweetheart Lipglass (available here) - $16.50

Beautiful Blonde-Next-Door Betty inspires a limited-edition colour collection with a soft, innocent sexiness.  Lipsticks in peaches and pinks beam bright under layers of Lipglass in girly shades. Nail Lacquer in Comic Cute and Pep Pep Pep to win Archie's affection.  All packaged in exclusive designs.

MAC Summer Sweetheart Lipglass is described as a "light peach" and is part of the Betty's lineup from the MAC Archie's Girls Makeup Collection.  The packaging differs slightly from the regular MAC Lipglass in that it has a white cap and features Betty on the tube.  This is a beautiful creamy peach with absolutely no shimmer or sparkle to it.

MAC Summer Sweetheart swatches just like it looks on the tube - a pale creamy peach - if you pile on the lipgloss, but applied normally/slightly sheered out, it just gives a hint of color and just adds a peachy milkiness to the lip.  I find it quite easy to apply and feels quite comfortable on my lips.  I won't recommend applying this too heavily to try to get the color to be more opaque - it will tend to settle into lines.

I never use such milky, pale colors on their own on my lips, but just to show how the color would look, I am adding in photo - this is how MAC Summer Sweetheart looks on me if I apply it on its own on my lips - obviously not recommended!

Not a look I recommend at all :P

To use MAC Summer Sweetheart - or any of the paler lipglosses - I either top it over a lipstick or a lipliner.  In the photo below, I have used a peach-brownish lipliner (swatched heavily on my hand but applied lightly on my lips to just even out the lip color) over my lips and then topped it with the MAC Summer Sweetheart lipglass.  Much better, don't you think?

Wearing MAC Summer Sweetheart Lipglass topped over a neutral lipliner.
I applied the liner quite lightly and just enough to even out my lips,
so the final look doen't look too heavy and more in tune with what the lipgloss feels like.

I don't think this is a very unique shade, but if you don't already have something similar and like the effortless natural look that this gloss can give, do give MAC Summer Sweetheart Lipglass a try.  I didn't have any issues with this settling into lip lines (probably because I don't apply a ton of it, plus I top it over another product) and it didn't dry out my lips either.  The staying power isn't much - barely lasted an hour or two on my lips, but I have to confess I am a snack-addict :P :D
