MAC "Ethereal" and "Atmospheric" Lipglasses

These two lipglasses are from the Lightfully Bright MAC collection (available online at maccosmetics.com, $14.50). The blue is "Ethereal" and the sheer plummy color is "Atmospheric."

Ethereal is about what I imagined but Atmospheric is unfortunately sheerer than I was hoping for. They look absolutely gorgeous in the tubes--especially Ethereal. It reminds me of mermaids and pristine water. Soo pretty.

The above swatches were taken with a flash, as were the lip swatches.

No gloss, Ethereal, Atmospheric

They are sticky but I happen to like that because it feels like my gloss isn't going anywhere. I like how smooth the gloss feels once it's on.
