MAC Alice + Olivia Collection: Dazzleglass Creme Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC Alice + Olivia Collection
Dazzleglass Creme: I.Want.Candy., Sparklicious, If It’s Pink…

MAC Alice + Olivia Collection: Dazzleglass Creme

Three new and limited edition dazzleglass cremes launch on July 8th with the Alice + Olivia collection.  My favorite was If It’s Pink, just because it’s the most wearable on its own, but it would lovely over pinks, corals, and nudes.  I.Want.Candy. is fun, but it’ll take some playing around to find the right combos to use it with.  I would also say that it is a lot more colored than Springbean, which is also a chartreuse-y shade.  Sparklicious is another shade that’s better layered than alone (but more wearable on its own than I.Want.Candy.)

Edited @ 4:10PM:  Added lip swatches & review! :)

Dazzleglass Creme ($18.00 U.S. / $21.50 CDN)

  • I.Want.Candy. is a semi-sheer yellowed chartreuse green with green-gold shimmer. It does, actually, impart significant color, given both that it’s green (even though a brand may put an unusual shade out, they often mute it) and a gloss. I don’t find it particularly wearable alone, but perhaps over pinks or corals. Because of the yellowness in the shade, it will pull the yellow tones in your teeth.
  • Sparklicious is a sheer silver and pink shimmered shade. It almost has a milky white-pink base, but it’s hardly noticeable. It’s super sparkly, so it lives up to its name. It kind of reminded me of She Loves Candy Lipglass from Hello Kitty.
  • If It’s Pink… is a semi-sheer brightened fuchsia pink with softer pink shimmer. It delivers plenty of color without being full-on color.

See photos & swatches!

Going to be getting I. Want. Candy & if it's pink soooon :) sparklicious is too boring to me :P

Hey Christine, what would you recommend to wear Sparklicious over?

I think I'll have to get all three of these. There's no getting around it. :D

I would never have expected Sparklicious to be that gorgeous! Thanks for posting the swatches of yet another MAC product I've got to rush out and pick up. :)

Love the pink and silver one, but the yellow gloss makes you look jaundiced for some reason. O.O eek!

i want the yellow and the hot pink but ill have to try them out first i think...

id like to see some of these lipglosses over some l/s combos- can u please do some christine? just so then it may make it easier to see what else we can wear these w/ since some of them are hard to wear alone (ex chartrause)

I'll try to use them in upcoming looks!

Not to sound redundant, but I want I.Want.Candy. (seriously, what's up with these names??). NOW. I'm a sucker for strange colors.

these look nothing like i expected them to be. don't plan on purchasing anymore...

I'm really interested in seeing I.Want.Candy. over a lipstick. Definitely not wearable on it's own.

If It's Pink is cuuteeh! :D <3

If It's Pink is pretty but I don't usually do bright pink lips.

If It’s Pink is amazing, but I WANT CANDY is just really , who would wear a yellow gloss !

Hey Christine, could you swatch I.Want.Candy over a black lipstick? I just want to see the effect

I do like that If It's Pink. That one would be fun.

I am going to find a way to wear I Want Candy. I'm trying to think of how to combine it (without looking like i have Neanderthal teeth). If It's Pink looks just a little too much like other shades I already have, as does Sparkilicious. IWC is both unique and a challenge, which I can't resist. thanks, as always, for the review and swatches!

I agree with kfm about I Want Candy. That's a shade I would buy and work it! because it is so unique. Reminds me of Lure X and Squirt l/g's. Nat

AAAaaaahhhhhhiiiim not sure I can get down with I Want Candy... The other two are gorgeous! I'm sure you'll find a lipstick it could jive with, but if you can't even, I have little faith in that color. I mean, green? I love wild colors, but on lips, it's a little sickly.

If it's pink is so pretty. I want something from each category but ahh

I've never been able to understand what to do with "weird" colored lip products like the yellow one. I'm not really a lip person, and everything but light nude/pinks is scary to me. I've been getting a bit more into lip stuff lately, and I love to experiment and try new things. Would it work to put the yellow one over a bright coral to make it more orange? Or maybe a medium-dark cool berry to lighten and warm it up a bit? I'm not really sure how to make it wearable for daytime looks, or if that's even possible.

Try it over a coral or red -- it can really bring out the gold flecks or even given it a different tone.

If it's pink looks really good, but man you weren't kidding that I want Candy will pull out the yellow in your teeth. O___O *avoids*

The yellow shade, I.Want.Candy is great to layer over any red lipstick and it instantly makes it brighter. This is a tip I got, and tried from a Shu Uemura artist.

Hey Christine, How does If It’s Pink… compare to Totally It lipglass?

It's very similar, except 100x more sparkly!

I definitely want all 3. I'll never use I Want Candy, and I swear I have a bunch of dupes for Sparklicious. I still want them LOL! Christine, Would you say SheZam Dazzleglass is a dupe of Sparklicious? (Holiday 2009) Also, how do these compare to 2009 Dazzleglass Creme release? I liked them online, but then in person, I just didn't see any that I had to have. It was like they were too milky for the dazzle to work right, if that makes sense.

Also, what is the size of the DG Creme? Is it the same size as DG? Or is it more like Superglass in size? If I'm getting ripped off with the weight, I may just have to buy two of If It's Pink!

They're the same - a tiny 0.06 oz.

Kind of! She-zam is probably a lil' more silver in comparison and Sparklicious seemingly more pigmented. I like these more than the previous launch of Dazzleglass Creme, but they're very similar, IMO.

Wait....did you just say "massage table"!?! You have a professional massage table!?

Nooo, the boyfriend and I went to a spa that does massages :)

Oh ok cos if you had a party, while all the other girls would rush to your beauty heaven I'd head for the massage table! LOL! Yes I like massages more than make-up *ducks*

LOL! A good massage is definitely better than makeup at times ;)

Omg, I thought your boyfriend gave you a massage, and combined with the makeup smearing I got some pretty dirty images in my head. LOL.

Noooo, we went to a spa :)

If its pink is lovely on you. Especially suits your skin tone. The yellow one is like something a 1990s drag queen would wear! I'm sorry if anyone could pull its off its you but its not happening!

I think I'm more excited about this lil collection, more than In The Grove!

No lip swatches?? I'm thinking I may want all three of these, but I'd love to see how they look on the lip!

Hi Lindsay, Did you check the post? 'Cause I noted that they were coming soon as I had an appointment to go to when these arrived. My biggest apologies!

I love the yellow, very unique!

Waitin for I want candy swatches! ;)

One of these is the same as my Youtube name.. cool :)

I.Want.I.Want.Candy.

Sparklicious reminds me of Snowscene lipglass!

What on Earth do you do with a yellow lipgloss?
