I received this from a sweet swapper who tried to persuade me to go for a Lancome Juicy Tube instead of this MAC Lipglass but oh no, I was adamant. I wish I had listened because then I wouldn't be battling nausea while frantically scrubbing my lips to get this ghastly stuff off. This lipglass is anything but tasty. It smells and tastes nothing like bananas or mangoes (which I love) but is horribly plasticky and smells like burnt rubber. That's not the worst of it. This stuff is unbelievably sticky and leaves lips feeling like an oilslick. And the smell....oh it just makes me want to hurl. Seriously. The only redeeming thing about this product is the colour, a pretty champagne gold which suits my NW 35 skintone nicely. It's not incentive for me to repurchase however. In fact, this one experience has taught me to exercise caution where MAC lipglasses are concerned, especially the 'Tasti' ones which are anything but.

I really don't like this lip gloss. It's sticky and thick and smells sickly sweet. I will not buy this again.

I would like this if I wasn't allergic to it. I had the same problem with sorberry, so it must be something in the formulation. The color is a light, slightly frosty yellow gold, which looks really nice, but really just in the summer. It has a sweet taste and a bananna tropical smell. Sometimes the tube gets a little sticky around the cap. Also, if you're allergic to it like I am it gives you a "lip-plumping" effect. ha. Up for swap it goes, too bad because it's a nice color.

This is a sheer (but somehow still frosty looking) yellowy gold. If applied *sparingly* over a light to medium brown lipstick, I get a shimmery soft honey color as the result. My biggest complaint is that Ban-Man-Go seems to be a little on the sticky side - probably because of all the small bits of glitter it has in it. For some reason, the smell of it isn't all that great to me either, but I can live with it. Not sure if this color is one that I would want to purchase again. As a word of caution, all I can say is: if you do like this color, just be sure to apply it with a very light hand. It will really stand out as a bright yellowy gold if you put on too much of it.
Update: I returned this. Too sticky, and too light of a color.

I actually returned this product because it was just too gold on me. I can see how it would have slight shimmer on most tanner people but if your pale, it will make you look way too golish. overall great smell and product from MAC though, just not the right color!

I bought this initially because I fell in love with the smell. It smells like candy, and tastes just like banana and mango (two of my favorite fruits). After trying it though, I also fell in love with its color and durability. My boyfriend can't stop kissing me when I have this on. :)

This is a nice summer color lip gloss. It is my HG lip gloss right now. And since I bought this one, I have been on that gold/beige shimmery kick, I ended up buying c-thru and be seen. But this one is my FAVORITE! I LOVE the taste, color and texture. I even like the color when it wears off a bit. I am not too keen of the package, I think the sponge applicator is easier to apply and I have to wipe the excess off the tip when I am done, but other than that, I LOVE this lippie.

I LOVE this tasti! It is a very nice summer color. A nice gold frosty color that looks great with a tan! The flavor is amazing! So, yummy! I don't like the tubes as much as I like the brush/sponge applicator because I always feel like I should wipe the excess off before I put the cap back on. That can get kind of annoying when I want to apply it and I don't have anything to wipe it off with. But other than that, it is my HG right now. I bought this when I went on vacation. I brought other lip glosses with me but ended up using this the whole time! I hope I like some of the other color tasti so I can buy more.

I ordered this off of Ebay because of the great reviews on here. I had high hopes for it, but the shimmery gold just does not work for me! It made me look like I was dead or very cold (pale, with brown hair and eyes), neither of which is an appealing look. The scent wasn't as good as the other tastis...it reminded me of a banana cough syrup that I took as a child. I wanted to love all the lipglass tastis, but this one was just not meant to be!

I love the MAC Tastis, they're yummy and fruity and delicious!
This one definitely tastes like banana-mango, it's hard to keep from licking it off.
Ban-Man-Go is a bronzy nude colour that works well at toning down pigmented lips. Applied sheerly, it's a pretty pale colour. Applied heavily, it tends to look very frosty.

Lucky for my wallet .. this was the only one of the new Tasti's that appealed to me based on my coloring (MMM/NC40). A gorgeous gold infused tan, that gives me a perfect pale glossy nude lips. The staying power is excellent under most circumstances .. but the flavor is so YUMMY that it lasts for about 5 minutes on my lips. HUGE raves from me!!

Beautiful frosted deep golden color that has both brown and yellow tones to it. Kind of a deep nudeish gold. Really pretty and tastes yummy, too. I love the wear of lipglass stains because they linger on the lips as they wear down, leaving some color with a faint hint of shimmer, rather than that dreaded "ring around the lip line" look.

This is my very first lipglass tasti and I absolutely love it. It's now one of my HG lipglosses. It looks like a frosty golden orange in the bottle, but on my pigmented lips it looks like a beautiful golden nude. It gives me the perfect nude lip. It also smells really yummy and tastes great too. I can't really smell the banana in it, but I can definitely smell the mango in it. It's delicious.

Is it wierd that I can't stop smelling this lipglass. It smells so yummy that i wanna eat it. LOL. When worn with my stripdown lip liner, it gives me the perfect nude lips. The color is very nice and easy to wear and it's a plus cuz it smells so good and it tastes so good. It has a nice sweet smell. Although i can't really smell the mango in there. This is my first tasti and also my favorite. I went out and bought other flavors after using this one.
