New from MAC: Slimshine

Slimshine

Slimshine

Hitting MAC counters yesterday is their newly packaged Slimshine lipsticks. These look like lipstick and apply like lipstick, but give lips the shiny effect that only gloss can offer.

  1. Are you sure these came out yesterday? My local pro store does not have them in yet and they are not even on the website and they always have products out before the regular counters do. Please look into this as you are spreading misinformation. Thank you!

  2. Hi Awfultruth,
    The MAC press release I’m looking at says April 2, 2007.

    Maybe there was a change?

    Thanks for the comment,
    Erika

  3. Okay, at first glance, I thought the name of the gloss was called ‘Slimeshine’. Oops!

    ;)

    Nobody would really name a lipgloss that, would they?

    Thanks for the advance notice on the new Mac release!

  8. I stopped in at my local MAC counter (a Canadian counter at the Bay) and they looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about this. :S They look gorgeous though, I can’t wait to check them out.

  10. as a MAC employee i haven’t heard of this collection yet. i see that the release date is in april but since summer updates for employees start this week i imagine we’ll know the exact date relatively soon. april 12 is the release of the new primers and i suspect, although i’m not sure, that this collection will be out one of the last two thursdays of april???

  12. I am a MAC employee and just came back from Update last week. These launch May 3rd. I have had the opportunity to play with each color and I must say that I am getting every single one of these bad boys! They are a great texture (gel-based) with good color payoff as well! Hope you all check them out!

  13. Brandi, thanks so much for the update. I can’t wait until May 3rd!

    Take care,

  14. These things are awesome! Perfect for someone who loves the way lipglass looks but hates the thickness of it. They are pretty sheer too, perfect for summer!

  16. I went to a MAC store and they have advised me that the slimshine lipstick was only a limited edition. does anyone know where i can get hold of the BARE lipstick as its my favourite!

  17. I’m sick and tired of these “limited edition” pranks. I absolutely love Most Wanted and now it’s off the market. They get you to love something and then you can’t buy it anymore.
