- MAC Lipglass is a unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high-gloss, glass-like finish, or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over lip pencil or lipstick, it's the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny, and can impart subtle or dramatic colour.
- Ablaze Lip Pencil is actually a closer match to the Lipglass. As for dupes, Morange is creamier, more opaque and more orange. Eclectic Edge, which came out with the Styleseeker collection last fall, is close but has a lot more shimmer and is a brighter orange with less coral tones.

MAC Fashion Sets are bold brights with a modern edge… They’re coordinating sets of products that include a Lip Pencil, Lipstick, Lipglass, Nail Lacquer, and Eye Shadow that are all the same color. I only purchased the lip products, so there will only be reviews and photos for those… Sorry!
Not everyone wants to be totally match-matchy but it’s fun to do monochromatic looks sometimes… It’s definitely not considered a “makeup don’t” any more!
Discontinued Mac Lipglass
My favorite part of Fashion Sets are the lip products, since it’s always nice to have a coordinating liner, lipstick and gloss… I do like the Eye Shadows and Nail Lacquers too, I just didn’t think it was necessary to add to them to my collection or kit.
Since the Eye Shadows and Nail Lacquers are totally different products and textures than lippies, they aren’t perfect matches to them… That said, they don’t have to be a perfect match for a monochromatic look to work. They’re all high quality and nicely pigmented so they work well on their own and get a big thumbs up from me!
All three of these lip products are limited edition, although I am hoping these return as permanent like some of the products from Fashion Sets of 2012 did. Fashion Sets are available online now at www.maccosmetics.com and will be for sale at MAC stores and counters on Thursday, April 4th. Each one of these products sells for the usual $15. MAC Lipsticks and Tinted Lipglasses are lightly vanilla scented but have no flavor.

Ablaze Lipstick (Matte): Ablaze Lipstick is a “bright apricot cream” with a Matte finish. It’s a medium-dark, rich, warm, pinkish coral with a matte texture that has a soft sheen to it at first, though the sheen begins to fade after the first hour or two of wear.
Like other Matte finish lipsticks from MAC, I got nearly 6 hours of wear with Ablaze. It gave me completely opaque coverage and great color payoff with very little product applied. This lipstick glided on smoothly, even though it’s a Matte, and didn’t feel drying. Since Matte Lipsticks tend to emphasize any dry or chapped areas of the lips, they look best when applied over a primer like Prep + Prime Lip (which will extend the wear time as well) or a lightweight moisturizer.
The most similar lipstick I can think of would be MAC’s Watch Me Simmer, from Shop MAC, Cook MAC that came out last spring/summer… Watch Me Simmer is more pink, not as bright, and has an Amplified finish which is creamier and has more of a sheen.
Ablaze Lipstick is limited edition, contains 3 g / 0.1 US oz of product and costs $15.

Ablaze Lipglass applied over Prep + Prime Lip.
Ablaze Tinted Lipglass: This Lipglass is described as a “bright orange cream” with a hint of shimmer. It’s a medium, warm toned coral-ish orange with golden-coral shimmer. It applies very evenly with no patchiness and has great color payoff. It’s NEARLY opaque but not 100%.
Ablaze Lipglass is certainly more orange than the Lipstick is, but they work well together on their own and don’t NEED to be layered… You can also use this Lipglass layered over the Lip Pencil, which will make it wear longer (I got around 4 hours of wear alone)… Ablaze Lip Pencil is actually a closer match to the Lipglass.
As for dupes, Morange is creamier, more opaque and more orange. Eclectic Edge, which came out with the Styleseeker collection last fall, is close but has a lot more shimmer and is a brighter orange with less coral tones.

Ablaze Lip Pencil: Ablaze Lip Pencil is a “bright apricot” with a matte finish. It’s a bright, medium orange that I don’t see any apricot to at all! There is more of a soft coral tone than apricot.
Like other MAC Lip Pencils, I get around 6 hours of wear before any fading occurs. These type of lip liners have a somewhat dry texture but they still apply smoothly, especially if you use it over Prep + Prime Lip, which also extends the wear time.
At first glance, this Lip Pencil looks like Entertain Me but Ablaze isn’t as much of a true orange and is lighter. Lasting Sensation Lip Pencil is also similar but Ablaze is darker and less coral. What A Blast Pro Longwear Lip Pencil is also close but looks much more bold and is a darker orange when applied.
This Lip Pencil is limited edition, contains 1.45 g / 0.5 US oz of product and costs $15.

Embrace Me Lipstick (Matte): This lipstick is a “bright fuchsia cream” with a Matte finish. It’s a bright, medium-dark, hot pink fuchsia with a cool, blue undertone. On my lips it appears cooler toned than it is in the tube. Like many other recent Matte finish Lipsticks from MAC, this has a slight sheen that fades after about the first hour of wear, although it’s not as much of a sheen as the other Matte Lipsticks in this collection.
Embrace Me wore for a solid 6 hours on me and left a stain for over another hour after I removed it! It has totally opaque coverage and wonderful color payoff. The texture is slightly drier than the other Fashion Sets Lipsticks so it didn’t apply as smoothly as the rest of them did. That said, I didn’t find Embrace Me to be drying to my lips at all. Since this is a Matte finish lipstick, I recommend priming or lightly moisturizing your lips prior to applying this lipstick if you have any dry or chapped areas, as it will emphasize them. My favorite product is Prep + Prime Lip from MAC… It also extends the wear time.
There are several MAC Lipsticks similar to Embrace Me, but none are a perfect dupe… The closest ones would be Daddy’s Little Girl, from the recent Archie’s Girls collection, but it’s lighter and seems to have more purple in it as well as a Satin finish, so it’s much shinier. Dear Diary Pro Longwear Lipcreme Lipstick, from the Beth Ditto collection, is nearly a perfect match but seems a little brighter and cooler. Pink Pigeon, from the Strength and Iris Apfel collections, is darker but more neon and has more sheen to it. If you missed out on any of those and can’t get your paws on Embrace Me, there is always Candy Yum Yum, which is permanent so it’s available at all times… However, it’s a bit lighter, cooler, and has more of a neon look.

Embrace Me Lipglass applied over Prep + Prime Lip.
Embrace Me Lipglass: This Tinted Lipglass is also a “bright fuchsia cream” with shimmer. It’s a slightly cool toned, bright, medium, hot fuchsia pink with a very fine, iridescent type of fuchsia shimmer.
It’s more pinkish and warmer toned than the coordinating Lipstick but they look fantastic when layered. Like Ablaze, the Lip Pencil is actually a closer match to Embrace Me Lipglass than the Lipstick is. It applied opaque with good color payoff and gave me a little over 4 hours of wear time…. Embrace Me Lipglass went on evenly but felt a heavier than the other Fashion Sets Lipglasses, which is probably why it wore so well!
At first glance, I thought that Girl About Town Lipglass (which is permanent) would be a really good match, but Girl About Town is darker and more opaque… Although they look super close in the tube, they look totally different on the lips! Embrace Me Lipglass is truly unique!

Embrace Me Lip Pencil: This is described as a “vivid pinkish fuchsia” and has a matte finish. It’s a medium, bright fuchsia with blue undertones.
I got about 7 hours of wear with this Lip Pencil before it started to fade at all and like Embrace Me Lipstick, it left a stain for an additional hour or more. As with other MAC Lip Pencils, it’s a dry type of liner, so it glides on most easily and wears best when applied over something like Prep + Prime Lip. It’s not so dry that it tugs, though, so it will still apply well even by itself.
Embrace Me Lip Pencil probably looks pretty familiar to you by now… It’s been released in the past with numerous collections including Beth Ditto, Tour de Fabulous, Iris Apfel, and most recently with the Strength collection in December of 2012. Hopefully they just keep it around and make it permanent this time! There really aren’t any dupes for Embrace Me… More To Love Pro Longwear Lip Pencil (which is permanent) is the only other hot pink lip liner that MAC has to offer, but it’s duller, darker and not as cool toned.
This Lip Pencil is limited edition, contains 1.45 g / 0.5 US oz of product and costs $15.
