This is one of my favorite lipglosses ever. It goes with almost every look, the color is great and basically perfect on me, it's opaque but not overly so, it has shimmer in it but not too much, it applies evenly, lasts a long time, moisturizes my lips and smells great as all MAC glosses do.

I took it with me on two two-week travels when I decided to only choose one lipgloss, and I was very happy with it all the time!
Hopefully MAC will repromote this one day. (Making it permanent would be perfect, but we all know Limited Editions sell better right?)

This is the ONLY mac lipglass lip gloss I own, and I absolutely LOVE the color. I'm not too fond of it's sticky consistency, however it keeps the color on so I'm fine with that.
It's not overly glittery, where you get glitter chunks in your mouth like some other brands. I love the cute fafi packaging, except it feels a bit cheapy because it's just a wrapping or sticker on the wand part of the lip gloss. (hence the -1 lippie)
The price is descent...I find it's expensive for a small lipgloss, but you're paying for the name, limited edition, and pretty colors!

Overall I give this a 4/5 ^^

I had two and gave 1 to my best friend and ohhh how she LOVED it. :)

Lovely Lipgloss. I give it five lippies. I got this at a CCO for $10.00, the packaging however is horrible. A sticker? I think it just looks cheap and on some the sticker folds on the top of the cap which looks horrible. Though whats inside matters more than whats outside. I love the color, a bit sticky though and thick. Goes on top of any lipstick, overall AWESOME lipglass!!

Love this! On my medium-pigmented lips it is a light shimmery baby pink. Quite a few frosty pinks look ridiculous on me, but this one doesn't one little bit. It is sticky like all Lipglasses are, but they seem to stay on alot longer than most glosses. It looks great with my skintone (NW20) and is a great compliment to fresh pink cheeks and neutral eyes. It is shimmery, but again it doesn't make me look outrageous or that I am trying to be 'younger than I really am'. Very versatile, I can actually pull this off for daytime and night as well. To me this is a perfect staple pink gloss to own, One of my absolute favorite MAC purchases!

The Sugar Trance lipglass is from the Fafi Collection. It is a sheer pink and it goes on nice without piling it on. I am a fan of nudes and sheer pink glosses and the sugar trance did not disappoint. I am so glad I went ahead and took a chance on this lipglass.

Product Description:

Exclusive to the M•A•C Fafi collection, a specially shaded Lipglass featuring a colourful Fafinette on the shiny black cap. Limited edition.


Actual Product Pic:




My $0.02:

Pigmentation & Color (Plus Swatches! :D):
The color is described as a creamy soft pink with white and rainbow pearl on the website, which I felt was rather accurate. There’s a mixture of delicate gold and silver shimmers which make this lipglass super pretty!! Pigmentation wise – this lipglass is quite sheer. On my pigmented lips the base color cannot be seen at all – only the shimmers are visible.

Swatch from the Mac Website:


Actual Color:


On my rather pigmented lips:



The Applicator & Packaging:

As I have mentioned before, I love sponge tipped applicators because of the great control they offer! :D



This lipglass comes in a usual clear vial with a black cap – except that this one has a Fafi sticker quite clumsily stuck on the cap (Major Gripe!!)! it makes the lipglass look so cheap! :( mine is brand new and already some bubbling has happened! Hmph!!!



Texture & Taste:
As with all MAC Lipglass, this applies on smoothly! :) No nasty plasticky taste with this one, which is a huge plus!

Time Test:
Slightly shorter than the other MAC Lipglasses - this baby lasted only about 2-3 hours on my lips!

Price & Availability:
This product is priced at RM60 / US$14 for a 4.8 g 0.18 oz tube – the same price as the usual (permanent) lipglasses. This is LE though, so grab one while you can! Available at all MAC counters / Pro Stores / Maccosmetics.com

Usage:
This lipglass is extremely versatile!! I can use it on its own, or paired over lippie for the extra bling and shine :) this lipglass will not fail to perform!


In a Nutshell:

A versatile lipglass that goes with everything!

Likes: Universally flattering, fool-proof sponge applicator
Gripes: The bad packaging
Repurchase: In a heartbeat!

Rating:
4.5 Stars ! Near HG Stuff!!

This is the only lipglass I got from the fafi collection and I really love it. It's a light frosty pink with the regular consistency of mac lipglasses. Reminds me of another LE lipglass - enpointe. Except sugar trance is a tad lighter. I like this over not so innocent l/s also from the fafi collection. I imagine it would look great over a lot of other lippes as well, especially pinks. Great for fun/casual daytime looks. Also won't overwhelm your makeup if doing heavy smoky eyes, although the frost factor would be something to keep in mind. I don't think I'd buy a backup at full price but if I saw it at CCO I definitely would. It's not anything terribly unique, but I think its versatility makes up for that.

I finally managed to get my hands on this as it's been sold out everywhere in stores and online. I must say it was worth the hunt. The baby pink looks quite nice on my lips, which is quite unexpected as I tend to prefer darker colours. I've only worn it alone so far and I think it gives my lips a nice, but not over-the-top glaze. Just great for the summer. Not too fond of the rather sweet smell (supposed that's what it's called SUGAR Trance) to be honest, but given how nice the colour looks, I'll just have to learn to live with it! For reference, I'm a medium-toned Oriental, if that makes any sense!

This lip glass is the first one I bought. I saw this on "makeupbyrenren" on youtube in one of her videos on the Fafi collection and it was soo beautiful with her skin tone. It looked really nude but very pretty at the same time. I bought it for an everyday l/g and it has been my "every other day" lip gloss. It looks so delicious on top of my Fafi High top l/s!!! I love it together. It's such a great combination. By itself, its a little milky on me but with a lip brush instead of the sponge applicator, it spreads magically! It lasts for a looong time too. Although I'm such a fan of Lustreglass by Mac I really love this color. It's kind of a soft baby pink with a whitish, milky iridescence to it which is very appealing to the lips. I think people really notice the PINK on your lips. If you're going to do a really bright eye look this would be a really good nude l/g. It also looks so hot with Buoy-o-buoy l/s from the Naughty Nautical line from Mac! Try this l/g (even though its sold out) next time they come out with it, if they ever do.

I don't mind the sticker. It would have been better as part of the actual packaging, but oh well. I like this pale pink with sparkle. It works well with a lot of lippies, either to accent a pale one or tone down a brighter one. Very nice.

Absolutely love the gloss itself over Not So Innocent lipstick. However I was disappointed when I realized the Fafinettes were stickers on the packages. It looks cheap. I love Fafi as an artist and I was so excited for this line but it wasn't to my expectations. To be honest I prefer the Heaterette line.

Very pretty color, my lips looks like sugary glaze donut (in a good way) :) Still debating with myself if I should get a backup.
Wish it was creamier color tho but I still love it.

Wow. I love this color! Soft baby pink with glitter. But glitter is not too much. I barely wear any make-up and this is perfect color for everyday wear.
Only thing I hate, what's up with the Fafi sticker? they should have incorporated the Fafi design on the tube, not put a sticker over it. boo

This is a very natural baby pink lipgloss with lots and lots of frost in it! This is sticky on my lips but very lasting. I like this color but it doesn't really work for my skintone and my pigmented lips. I am a medium cool tone and my lips are red even without using lipstick or tints. So if I put this on my lips this doesn't evenly distribute and I have to use my fingers to make it work. A coworker of mine commented on this lipgloss the other day and said that this does nothing for my complexion. It just gives me a washed out and very dull look. I kinda agree but I still want to use this gloss to neutralize bright very pigmented lipsticks.

I was looking for something that I could wear alone or layer and I love this. I wear it alone with Ginger root liner from MAC also. Its the perfect shade of pink on my lips :)
