I bought this recently at a CCO. It is shiny pink opal on your lips. It has a lavender opalescence. I looks gorgeous paired with light pink lipstick that have a slight lilac tint. For example it looks amazing over Estee Lauder Rose Amethyst.

beautiful colour, shame its so sticky. i have to apply it, then rub it in with my finger and put a tiny bit of clear gloss or lip balm on top to get rid of the stickiness.

I bought this product from my local cco recently and I am so glad I picked it up! Its a perfect baby pink and gives your lip's a beautiful frosty pink coating. It isn't too sticky and has nice pigmentation to it ! I just wish mac would make their lipglasses bigger because they're often my favourite colours!

This is pretty unique icy pink shade that enhances pink tones in your lips or in lipsticks. I find that it doesn't look as good on its own on my medium pigmented lips, but over nudes or pale pinks, this looks beautiful. It doesn't look that pink, but it has a pink shade that's flattering if you love light or baby pinks. I would buy this again if I found it again :)

i've just recently come across a tube of this, in a MAC store in Playa del Carmen (Mexico).
I was very skeptical by lipglasses, because, every time i tried them out, i found they were either too sticky or too pigmented for my tastes! instead this is amazing, i love love love this color, the texture is so smooth and also it isn't sticky at all, if compared to mac dazzleglasses!!!

Lovely opalescent colour, Quite unique. I can see pink and lavender accents in this particular lipglass. Makes my lips look nice and plump but with a baby pink sheen that turns lavender with different lighting.
Same MAC lipglass sticky texture, but this lasts a long time, and I am one who can't be bothered reapplying my lipgloss often at work.
Too bad this is limited edition.

Lovely! Very light pink with opalescent sheen. IMO, a unique shade. Gives a great shine to the lips without being overpowering. Glad I found this, but sad it's LE!

I wish I could re-purchase. This color is wow, just something about it. My favorite shade of all time. That means a lot coming from me!!!!! You need to check this one out before it's sold-out!

This color is a lot like Elle, from the holiday gift set (Mischief Makers, 5 sexy shenanigans), and according to the MA is very similar to Oyster Girl. It isn't that similar, it is such a special color, it is milky without being too white and opaque and has a pink opalescence pearl in it. It doesn't make you look like you put white out all over your lips, but rather makes your lips look pearl-esque in a very baby pink way. Trust me, you need this color.

I have never bought a back-up before except for this color, ever. I am considering buying another back-up with my Back to MAC 6 empties! I will be crushed when I run out! :( ... I can't believe I bought a back-up :P!

EDIT:
I am loving this in th sunlight, but I have become bored of this lipglass. I don't reach for it as often as I should and now I am stuck with a backup. Oh man. I really find it cute for if I want to look like my lipgloss is nude in an opaque qay rather than a sheer clear gloss.

I was hoping this would look similar to one of my favorite pink lipglasses of all time: Pastel Emotion (that came out with Emanual Ungaro last year). Pastel Emotion I still like better than Icespcape because the sheen is more silvery neutral pink while Icescape is definitely a light cool milky pink. It is sheer, but the pink pearl that translates to your lips is gorgeous. That being said, I'm glad to keep it but I don't think I will repurchase.
Icescape was released with the Love Lace collection this year, but was released last year with the Chill collection and when it was released then it sold out pretty quickly. So I'm surprised it isn't flying off the shelves this year.

When I bought this last year from the Chill Collection I expected it to have at least a little more color payoff, it's very sheer, not transparent, but quite close.
Hm. Nevertheless the fine pink/lavender shimmer particles add a very fresh and flattering glow to the lips, that also looks quite interesting when you come close.

I'd love it more if this light color was more opaque and obvious, yes. But it's quite nice this way too.

Now I do prefer more opaque lipglosses to some extend in general because I often pick the skin on my lips leaving them with uneven patches of thinner, red skin, this lipgloss can't cover that. But many can't, and when my lips are ok this is a really nice sheer lipgloss for me with an interesting and very pretty pearl!

I took one lippie off because it'd be prettier if it was a little more opaque and despite the great MAC formula it's expensive for what it does. It doesn't entirely deserve my five lippies imo, but it's good enough I selected that I would repurchase it because of the great pearl. I'm not entirely sure if I would, probably yes. Maybe.

I love this lipglass. It is a pretty light creamy pink with no glitter. It is sticky but hey most MAC lipglasses are. This looks really good paired with either vino, current, or nightmoth lipliner.

I went and got this lipgloss after looking at it online, and I am really glad I did. It is a milky pale pinkish color that is great on my pigmented lips that I like to tone down. Looks good with all skin types, goes on smooth and stays on for a decent amount of time. I really like this!

The website describes this shade as a sheer pale pink with pink pearl and that isn't too far off from the mark. As a MAC NC30 with medium pink pigmented lips, I was hoping this would be a toned down version of Prrr but it wasn't. This lipglass is incredibly sheer. If you're looking for a clear lipglass with some barely seen shimmer, this is it. This is a bit on the cool side and shows up as a clear gloss with slight violet-pink sheen over time on me.
Overall, it's like any other MAC gloss, super tacky texture that lasts a good amount of time. The scent is the same sweet vanilla base and the price is mid range so it's not obscene. I love MAC glosses overall but this one was like buying a clear gloss. This was a bit disappointing for me.

So, I missed out on this the first time it came out with the Chill collection..totally sold out. That being said, I was glad to see it return with Love Lace. It's just a very pretty milky icy pinky gloss. I think MAC should just go ahead and make it perm since everyone always wants this gloss! I didn't buy a back up, since I also purchased Preciousness from Baroque Boudoir, knowing that I will not be able to get through both during this century! All in all, I think it's a universally flattering shade and worth checking out.

It was probably fate that I decided I wanted a milky, pale pink gloss and went to the MAC counter to find this lipglass with the Love Lace LE (it's a repromote, though). This gloss is everything I wanted: it provides full coverage if layered on and is very much like "Underage", only cold pink instead of warm pink. The iridescent shimmer is also beautiful to look at, albeit not very obvious. It makes the perfect Ice Queen lipgloss and I fell in love with this colour so much that I bought a back-up right away for the very first time ever just to be on the safe side. It will be difficult to find a dupe for that one, I think, as there's nothing like it in the general MAC collection.

Okay, so I just bought this today, and I have to say at first I was really disappointed that I spent my money on this.
But then, I actually tried it when I got home...
And I have to say, it is pretty sticky, BUT, the color pay-off is amazing.
It has the perfect amount of sheerness, and still that hint of pink.
It's not overwhelming, and it smells REALLY good.
And when I rub my lips together with this stuff on..
Oh wow.. the feeling of it is truly amazing.
I would recommend this.
*EDIT* - I actually started playing around with this. First of all, it also has a slight purple tinge to it. The purple disappears quite quickly, while keeping that gloss to your lips. Nothing special, not one of my favorite glosses.
*EDIT* - I now LOVE this gloss!!! It has to be one of my favorites .. probably in my top 3!! =D Wow ... I am now looking vigorously for a dupe!!

In general I don't review colors of MU as there are so many, this one I had to. I absolutely love this color. It is a pretty pale pink with the perfect blue tint, which make your teeth look white. I have different pink glosses from MAC and this one is my favorite. I would love to know a similar color as this is LE.

I hate to be the only one not raving over this product but I just wasn't that impressed. It's a great quality l/g to be sure, as most lipglasses are, but I didn't find Icescape especially unique. As a MAC fan I already own plenty of sheer opalescent pinks from past collections. Imo the one thing Icescape has going for it is that it doesn't have any noticable shimmer or glitter. That's the only thing that potentially may set it apart from other MAC opalescent pink l/gs, but this is definitely one most could live without.

Icescape is one of those beautiful colors that I want to be able to wear without my lips changing the color. I have pigmented rosy lips and anything like this (a very pale, opalescent baby pink) ends up either not showing up at all or leaving me with a bizarre looking smear of milky goo on my lips. Icescape falls into the first category. On me, it goes on basically clear, leaving just a hint of opalescence and shimmer. It's pretty enough but not what I want from this.



To get Icescape to show up true to the color in the tube, I have to use MAC's Lip Erase (a Pro-only lip concealer) underneath, which is time-consuming and frustrating. But it does give me the look I want. I end up with exactly what's in the tube (and very similar to the look that the model in the Chill collection promo photo is sporting). It's delicate, ethereal and goes well with my fair skin.



I do love the look of Icescape once it's been applied over Lip Erase and it's pretty enough on bare lips, so that earns it a rating of 4, but because of the hassle and complicatedness of applying it over a concealer, I don't think I'll need more than the one tube I have. It's going to have to be a special occassion gloss for me.



PROS: (1) beautiful, opalescent color; (2) looks beautiful against my fair skin.



CONS: (1) barely shows up on my pigmented rosy lips without a lip concealer underneath; (2) like all MAC lipglasses, it's very sticky and gloopy; (3) it's hard to get enough on the wand to cover my lips and I have to dip and reapply several times.
