MAC Shimmer & Spice Lipstick ($17.50) is one of several new, limited edition Snow Ball Lipstick shades that launched with the MAC Holiday 2017 Collection. Shimmer & Spice is marketed as a frost finish lipstick that’s a dusty Rose with shimmer. Yeah, sure, the frost factor scared me as I don’t do frost anything but I decided to haul this after reading it was a dusky rose with shimmer. Pictures of a pretty nude rose with a hint of golden shimmer frolicked through my mind! I felt at the very least a little clear gloss would go a long way at making this a wearable shade if the frost went terribly wrong. Here’s how things went down with MAC Shimmer & Spice Lipstick.

One of the things that must be addressed before we get into this review is the gorgeous packaging on the MAC Snow Ball Holiday Collection this year. This lipstick comes housed in a gorgeous gold, crackled barrel. The ice crackling surrounding the barrel combined with the light beige gold makes for an outstandingly beautiful way to present this lipstick. This is a smooth finish as well which gives the entire barrel a polished look. The lipstick shade is way off from being a dusky rose. No way, nothing about is rose. At a glance it has an almost brown plummy douchrome look with plenty of fine silver shimmer.

There’s absolutely no frost here, it’s pure metallic shimmer on my lips and the shade is a very plummy brown. It’s pretty but it’s also really Mr Roboto in finish. It’s one of those shades that makes me looked like I stepped out of an episode of Lost in Space.

Just not my thing! It’s a very strong metallic finish with a liquid metal look that’s very shimmery. Don’t panic though!

A little clear gloss goes a long way at giving it a more “cleaner” less harsh finish. The formula is slick and it glides on very easily but the finish isn’t quite as smooth as I had hoped and looks a little patchy if I don’t go over it a few times. It also leaves behind a good deal of shimmer and glitter as the color wears away which can be a pain as you’ll have a ring of glitter around your mouth if you aren’t careful about touch ups throughout the day!

Wear time was around four hours for me and color faded by hour four. As with all MAC Lipsticks this has a vanilla fragrance and flavor that doesn’t linger. You may also enjoy.

I carefully dotted the color on my lips with a very light hand. Then I applied some glass and I love the color and the sheen with the gloss. By itself, or with a “heavy” application, the color is just too dark for me. Even so, I love this color because it is so versatile and different. As other people have suggested, this shade of lipstick sold out in the first hour or so that it was available. I was lucky enough to grab this color before it sold out. Also agree with Muse that the packaging is everything.

Gold and shimmery and definitely a holiday vibe.

I’m noticing something about the reviews it seems those who said they used half n half were not happy with the finished product and those who used an alternative loved it. For myself I followed the recipe exactly only I did use milk rather than half n half just because I didn’t have any. I also added a little sour cream to the cheese mixture.

I thought it turned out FANTASTIC! My daughter said it’s the best Mac n cheese I ever made. I’m revising my “go to” Mac n cheese recipe to this one with those few minor changes I mentioned. It really was creamy and cheesy while still being a bit mild and not making you feel sick if you eat a ton of it (not sure if that’s good or bad, lol). Made it according to directions, and it turned out just ok. I tweaked it just a bit and it comes out amazing everytime.

Add butter first, and stir until melted thoroughly. Then add velveeta and do just the same.

Add same amounts of shredded cheeses, THEN add cold ingredients (tweaked to 1/2 cup half and half, and 1 egg). If you follow the exact words of the recipe, the pasta will cool which doesn’t allow the velveeta to melt enough. Then you’ve got cubes of velveeta melted in the dish but not evenly distributed!

It’s a great recipe just needs a few changes in wording and some ingredients scaled back! I agreed with Karen’s September 2017 post; I always make a white sauce with butter and flour when making Mac n cheese. After the flour browns a bit, I add milk then whisk a whole egg into the tempered sauce so it won’t “cook in the sauce”. Afterwards, I add a can of nacho cheese soup the my white sauce.

My family is partial to fontina & Gouda or white & mild cheddar to my white sauce. I saute shrimp in butter and let cool while the cheese is melting in the white sauce. After the cheese has melted in the white sauce, I pour it over my slightly cooked noodles. I fold in the shrimp and some bacon bits and bake til bubbly and brown on top.
