Did you read the title? A bold assertion, eh? I know that Viva Glam Cyndi lipglass is widely beloved but it just doesn't do it for me. I LOVE the lipstick, though. So I was at the MAC counter the other week checking out the Quite Cute collection. (As a side note, those Plushglasses were
awful. I have never had a reaction to a product really, but these gave me a rash around my mouth, and my upper lip, where my mustache would be if I had one ;-), got super swollen. It looked gross.) I didn't find anything from the collection I needed so I ambled over to the Cremesheen Glass display- my favorite lipglosses.
I saw Double Dare and it immediately reminded me of Cyndi. So I whipped out my Cyndi lipglass and lipstick to compare. Double Dare is a more sheer, less orange and no shimmer Cremesheen Glass version of Cyndi- aka exactly what I wished Cyndi had been. (I have a comparison I'll show you in a bit.) So you better believe I bought that puppy.
The color looks lighter in the tube than it is in real life. It looks like a dark pink here but it's more of a coral red.

As you can see Cyndi lipglass is more orange, thicker, more pigmented, and has shimmer. However, I think Double Dare matches Cyndi lipstick better than the Cyndi lipglass matches it!
Available:
- $18.50 on MAC's website and at MAC counters and stand-alone stores
