MAC Superglass was launched yesterday at North America stores and counters, and I took swatches of all of them. My opinion about them has not changed at all, except that upon seeing the entire collection, I seem to prefer the darker Superglasses because they don't just provide bling and "snowflake-shaped helicone pearl", they provide light pigment as well. Do not be scared of the color in the tubes; they may look dark but they apply sheer and the high-watt shine goes well with the sheerness of the shades.
As I'd said in my previous review, these are super sticky so I would suggest a lip balm underneath to make the application a lot easier. The tackier it is, however, the better the staying power, at least in my experience.

See how the glitters glisten under the sun
My favorite is Fab Frenzy- a deep blurple that is so pretty on the lips. It's not dark when worn at all.
Disco Blend is a light tan that looks great with my peach lipsticks or worn alone.

Sugar Overload reminds me of Sugarrimmed dazzleglass. It's a white beige that doesn't give color, but gives luscious shine and tones down darker lipsticks.
Gift Wrap is a light pinky peach - your quintessential pink lipgloss, but this time with added bling.
SuperFlash! is a mid-tone yellow pink that is super cute. Great for summer.
Cherry Electric- ahh, a nice bright cherry pink that looks great. I just prefer Totally Bang! over it because I like fuschias better than cherry pinks.
Totally Bang! My kind of fuchsia gloss on steroids. Love the hot pinkness of this.
Sweet Tart is a pale baby pink that reminds me of Baby Sparks dazzleglass.

Tunnel of Love is a deep blue-brown. Don't like deep browns on my lips so I am not a fan of this.
Overall, you might like Superglass if you don't mind tacky lipglosses with glitter in it. I think Superglass is one of those lip products that you can't feel indifferent about - it's either you love it or you hate it. In my case, I like the helicone-shaped pearls. They remind me of the flakies in some of my nail polishes.
Here are some bonus photos before I end this - Here are pics of Fab Frenzy superglass with my Nail of The Day - MAC For Fun nail lacquer konadified using China Glaze Romantique polish in Awaken (love this polish!). Love the bling on Fab Frenzy too! I took these in the car waiting for the light to turn green because I got bored. =P

I really can't decide if I like this lipgloss or not. If I was to purchase one, the only color I could possibly see myself wearing is the Sweet Tart. I love most everything MAC makes, but this lipgloss reminds me of a kindergarden project gone awry. Those glittery thingies look like the material 5 year olds are given in art glass and they're supposed to make pictures using this glitter and plain elmer's glue. I'm definitely one for variety and trying out new things but I think I might have to pass on this. Thumbs down in my humble opinion. MAC can and has done much, much better. DLori
They have great colors but the glitter in them is just too big for my taste.
