MAC Cosmetics Hello Kitty Lipglasses and Tinted Lip Conditioner Swatches on Lips

Popster TLC
See, I make good on my promises, right?! This post includes swatches of the two Tinted Lip Conditioners as well as the six Lipglasses from MAC’s Hello Kitty Collection. 
As you can see, a few of them run together and it’s hard to tell them apart. Oddly enough, I think the TLCs have more color pigmentation on my lips than the lipglasses!
For those who have left questions/comments on any of the HK posts: I will try to answer them today, but my day is pretty spoken for (boo@school), so I’m hoping to have everything answered by Friday at the latest. Thank you for understanding!
Pink Fish TLC
She Loves Candy Lipglass
Fast Friends Lipglass
Mimmy Lipglass
Nice Kitty Lipglass
Nice To Be Nice Lipglass
Sweet Strawberry Lipglass
Are the six lip glosses lip conditioning as well? Do these colors have a # attached to them(#1-#6)
No, they don't have any numbers, and the glosses are just regular lipglasses!
Do you know any good dupes to Pink Fish TLC ? [:
Nope, sorry Kianna :(
hi christine, I know im suuuuuuper late on commenting on this collection. But I wanted to know what would be a good dupe for pink fish? Ive gone to two cco's in my city and they only had popster. Sad face;))
hi there, do you know when mac is re relasing the pink fish or popster lip conditoners?
I haven't heard that they are.
Popster looks reeelly nice! Wanted popster but they were sold out... Darn! Will they be back with the HK collection?
As far as I know, they won't be back with a follow-up!
I was interested in the hk She loves candy lipglass but the store has run out here. Can you suggest a dupe from the permanent line? or from any other would be fine.
I can't really think of any dupe, Linda, to be honest. It's quite unique, especially because of how pigmented it is :(
why dont you put on some lip pencil ? It doesnt look nice like that...
I don't usually wear lip liner, but these are also quick swatches and not meant to be perfect either... to show you the color in time for you to make purchases.
Hi, im a nc30 and i were wondering which tlc do you think will look better on me? and do you think she loves candy would suit my skin tone? i want a gloss thats clear but with a hint of colour and tons of glitter! (:
I'd say Popster over Pink Fish, but both will work :) Neither of these have glitter, though!
hey babe thanks so much for the swatches, u have nice lips btw :) looking forward to receiving my popster and cutester!!
No problem, Shu :) Thanks!
The colours in the tube look so much more interesting! But I think I am going to get both TLCs and Mimmy & She loves candy lipglass :) Maybe Sweet Strawberry another time. Christine, do you know when HK will be released in the UK? x
Yes, they all look so intriguing in their tubes... but not so much when used.
Only things I bought from the collection were She Loves Candy and Pink Fish. I tried on just about every lipstick and lipgloss. Very disapointing that they're so sheer. You think they didn't think adults were going to buy this collection? :)
I'm glad you at least got as couple of items, though, Yaya ;)
Hey Christine, thanx for the swatches u saved me a lot of money... anyways I am just starting out with makeup up and I really like the tinted lip conditioners but can't decide on which one... on ur swatches the popster looked more pink and the pink fish looked more purple. Does the pink fish one look purple?
No problem, Lauren! Pink Fish is cooler, it's like a cool, pale pink, but it's definitely not purple! Popster is more like a coral pink.
i am debating between popster and pink fish lc i never purchased lc before and i will be getting she loves candy not yet decided on sweet stawberry
i went to the store thinking i was going to get popster but it was way to bright pink for my skin, i am a nc15. i ended up getting pink fish, it looks really good on me, not streaky and it didnt cake in the cracks. that was the only thing i bought from this line. i was going to get the eyeshadow in the wild but it was sold out.
Glad you like Pink Fish!
Do you think Sweet Strawberry is comparable to Hey, Sailor? Thanks in advance! Your site is absolutely amazing :)
Nope, not at all!
So while I'm not completely new to MAC, I am to their lipglosses. I currently only have one which I absolutely love but I've used a few. The one I have is Possum Nose Pink which is really smooth and not sticky. All the others I've tried have been sticky and I really don't like that. So anyway, I was just wondering if these lipglasses are like the PNP or if they're sticky.
Lipglasses are sticky, I don't know why Possum Nose Pink isn't!
Since these lipglasses are so sheer, will they even make a difference when applied over lipsticks? Or will they just add some ridiculous shine? I really liked the colors when in the tube but now I'm thinking twice about getting any....
Oh by the way, I'm eyeing She Loves Candy and Sweet Strawberry right now... which one do you think is worth more for my money? I calculated how much I'm gonna be spending on this collection and it's A LOT lol so I wanna cut down on the lipglasses since they are so sheer..
I think if you want something more pigmented, opt for Sweet Strawberry, but I love, love the shimmer in She Loves Candy!
They might make a little, but not much. I think the orangey one will have more impact than the other two or three.
Thanks for the swatches, you are the best!!!
No problem, Laura!
Christine Are the TLC's moisturizing, Sometimes I don't like to wear anything on my lips but Kiehl's lip balm (love) and I won't mind having a TLC if it moisturizes the same.
Does Popster have a certain smell/taste? I'm curious because of the SPF.
Smells like vanilla to me!
They smell like cupcakes, yummy, I have both, they are actually way nicer than the lipsticks
Glad you like 'em, Bellissima!
The only color that I am remotely interested is She Loves Candy... Christine - do you know of a dupe of that color in the perm collection? Popster looks great, but I have a similar color in my stash already.
MAC doesn't have anything that's really like She Loves Candy as far as I can remember. :/
She Loves Candy looks absolutely gorgeous on you.
Thank you!
i love popster tlc. it looks really good on your lips :) might consider getting it..
Thanks :) It's really great for everyday.
well, they ARE light, but HK isnt dark. OK HK is a GOTH take but my "fashion news" is pastel pink. Exactly HK pink from my Sanrio charm. I guess someone else posted earlier, MAC cant please everyone all the time! There will be another line you will adore! I am new to the MAC addiction so the redos are great! Spending 40 dollars for a discontinued color is rediculous! So RAH RAH redo! Cheers!
I don't think any of the repromotes lately have been of any super coveted colors, though :/
Ugh, here I go on a rant. Everything from the freakin collection is SHEER! The shadows are chalky, the lippies are all dupes of other things and arent that impressive, the l/g are a joke.. the beauty powders are a dime a dozen. The accessories are cute, but why bother? Just go to a Sanrio store for cuter and cheaper things. I am 100% passing on this.. WTF MAC!!
