Mine was named Mai (so narcissistic but I suppose I never claimed to not be) and was partially inspired by another gloss that Darling Girl carries, Holly Jolly. The two are so similar that I figured I could show how different it actually is.
First off, here's Holly Jolly.
Now here's a swatch of both glosses, this really shows off the difference.
Holly Jolly is described as a "Deep blue based red with gold and green flakie" and Mai is described as a "Cherry red with golden green flakie". Both have that gorgeous flakie sparkle but you can see that Holly Jolly is much bluer whereas Mai errs more orange based.
and a split lip picture of both glosses.
The difference is so subtle that I think you don't need to own both (though I'd love for you to own my namesake gloss!). If you find yourself favoring blue based reds, Holly Jolly is for you and if you favor orangey red and helping stroke to fuel ego, get Mai gloss!
Do you own either Holly Jolly or Mai?
both of these are pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey really are. Even though I do like my gloss (I have to of course), I think Holly Jolly's blue tones are so nice
DeleteI've been wanting to get Mai and McSwatchy for a while now :) Your lip swatch makes them look almost the same, but I think I'd choose Mai. It's quite festive haha
ReplyDeleteYou will be so happy with McSwatchy, the gloss is one of my favorites!
DeleteI've definitely going to get Mai with my first upcoming DG order.
ReplyDeleteYour lipgloss is so very pretty.
Aww that's awesome. I think it's so pretty too!
DeleteYou got such lovely poutable lips! My lips are not so plump :( both these shades are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletehaha it's actually a trick of the camera, when I have it so close up my lips look huge
