Comfort & Joy, Rich & Witty
MAC Tour De Fabulous is a collection of eleven shades of lipglass, some of them quite intense, and eight lip pencils. The glam glass was supposed to have come out last summer I believe, but something went wrong along the way, so MAC is now coming up with lipglasses instead. The colors are pretty rich and pigmented, especially the brighter and deeper shades.

As I'd mentioned, I don't know if it's just me, but the formula seems better than that of regular lipglass. The colors are quite rich and pigmented, and the shades are very pretty, stuff that people can and will actually wear.
Casual Air is a frosted pale pink that I usually would wear over pigmented lipsticks to give them a sort of iridescent finish. I actually wanted to get this but I have way too many frosty pale pinks.
Check This Out is described as a coral with transforming yellow-pink pearl. Does MAC mean that this pearl changes color depending on the angle? I don't have Check This Out to confirm this.
It's a Wow is indeed another wower. It's described as a midtone blue pink, but it's not. It's more of a pinky peach, not too pink, but not too peach, although it's more peach than pink to my eyes.
Tour De Fabulous is a beautiful coral, but described as a clean/bright yellow pink with pearl. It has more coral tones than It's A Wow. I think this is going to be one of the bestsellers of this collection.
Style Packed is a vivid fuchsia cream. I didn't see any pearl in it. Lovely, especially if you don't have a bright fuchsia lipglass yet.
Rich & Witty- one of my favorites; it's described as a neutral dirty pinked beige. Love this as an everyday color.
Comfort & Joy- another favorite. It's a mid-tone frosted dirty mauve. I like greyed pinks so this is perfect with my greyed pink lippies, and basically any pink or mauve lip product.
Knockout is beautiful. It's a warm red with slight shimmer.
Famously Fab! is a slightly pearl lavender that I feel I have too much of, so I am not a fan of this.
Rich Bounty is a deep red-brown with pearl. Very eye-catching and bold, but I don't know if I can pull this one off.
Real Posh is a slightly pearl deep berry that I really like. I like it over berry lipsticks or just by itself. Very fall/winter-ish shade.

Lip Pencil
The lip pencils are your usual lip pencils from MAC in terms of formula. I believe these shades are limited edition.
Left column: Entertain Me, Just My Type, Just Wonderful, Have to Have It
Right column: Lasting Sensation, What Comes Naturally, Hip 'n' Happy
I don't have an Embrace Me swatch, but it's easy to imagine. It's a blue based bright fuchsia.
What Comes Naturally is a peachy beige that looks somewhat too light for me, although this would be great for nude lip looks.
Entertain Me and Lasting Sensation look so much alike to my eyes, I don't think it's worth it to buy both. They are both bright orange/coral.
Hip n Happy is a pretty dirty blue pink that I feel I will have a lot of use for. This is just my kind of shade.
Just Wonderful is a dirty mauve that I like better than Hip N Happy, but I will use both for different kinds of lip looks.
Just My Type is an intense warm brown. This is definitely not my type; it looks more like an eye liner than a lip pencil.
Have to Have It is a nice soft warm beige. This is more of my shade when I wear nude lip products.
All in all, I am liking the lipglasses, especially Comfort & Joy, Rich & Witty, Tour de Fabulous and Real Posh. I love the pigmentation and rich shades of the lipglasses. Somehow, these are different from the dozens of new lipglasses MAC churns out every year. The lip pencils are nice, but they are not different from the regular MAC lip pencils. My picks would have to be Hip n Happy, Just Wonderful and What Comes Naturally.
