MAC Kinky Lipglass (Kinky Boots Collection) Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Kinky Lipglass
MAC Kinky Lipglass ($15.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “sheer red with multidimensional glitter.” It’s a medium, warm-toned red with fuchsia and red glitter. NARS Misbehave (P, $26.00) is less sparkly, sheerer. NARS Eternal Red (P, $26.00) is less shimmery. MAC Hell Bound (LE, $15.00) has finer shimmer, darker. MAC Restless (LE, $15.00) is darker. MAC Totally Fab (LE, $20.00) is less sparkly. L’Oreal Sparkle Frenzy (LE, $9.99) is cooler-toned. Chanel Daydream (P, $29.50) is less red. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
It’s semi-sheer–I found it somewhat buildable to get between sheer and semi-opaque color, depending on your tolerance for the thickness of your gloss–with lots and lots of glitter. It’s definitely a sparkly, glittery gloss that has some noticeable texture, but it is surprisingly unnoticeable given how full of glitter it is. Despite the brighter, darker color and the opacity level, it applied fairly evenly and didn’t pull into lip lines. The gloss on its own wore well for almost five hours. It’s medium-to-thick, noticeable on, and tacky, which is in line with the Lipglass formula. It’s particularly lovely over your favorite red lipstick (any will do!).
Kinky
LELimited Edition. $21.00.

Normally I´m not a fan of glittery glosses ..but this one looks really pretty
It is very sparkly!
I like that this lip gloss is buildable. One thing I don’t care for about lip gloss is that they’re generally sheer. And also, I hate when I’m wearing lip gloss and it’s windy out and my hair gets stuck in it! Haha.
And MAC Lipglass is REALLY annoying to have your hair get caught in since it is tacky!
The gloss turned out to be beautiful! I’m not a fan of red gloss but I actually like this a lot. It looks even prettier with the lipstick. I hope Viva Glam Miley is like the pink version of this lol
Let’s hope so!!
They look absolutely stunning when paired – still a pass though, as they’re not overly unique.
I think the gloss is more interesting, and I think it ends up yielding the most “bang” between the two, since a matte red lipstick isn’t hard to come by!
I can’t wait to see your review on the eyeshadow. It looks beautiful on you.
Thanks, Beka!
Wow, very nice holiday red. I like how it’s buildable, so you can layer it over another lipstick for more subtle sparkle during day, then build it up for a more dramatic evening look
It does seem more versatile since is it isn’t fully opaque!
I normally can’t stand lipglosses – I’m all about strong, opaque colour that lasts long and hate the stickyness and transfer – but I may have to make an exception for this, it is sooo beautiful. Plus, it couldn’t be more perfect for the movie, which is one of my faves.
The gloss seems to match the promo well!
Wow, how pretty! I rather like the colour of this alone. Also gorgeous layered if you dig the sparkle factor! My tastes have turned away from sparkle lately. But maybe I should hit up the drugstore for a sparkle-free dupe!
You should see if you can find one!
I like the combo!
Yay!
This is gorgeous! I’m afraid the tackiness would bother me in practice though. I’d have to try before I buy!
Yeah, MAC Lipglass is fairly tacky, so worth trying to see if it’s something you can deal with!
This lipglass looks lovely! I was originally going to pass on this collection as I had just purchased Damn Glamorous lipstick, but this could possibly look very nice over DG for an even more amped up red look!
I bet it would be gorgeous over Damn Glamorous!
I usually don’t really dig shimmery or glittery glosses, but ooooh, I like this one!
Woohoo!
Ooh, I usually don’t like shimmery gloss but I actually like this!
Surprise hit!
just ordered it….so pretty!
Enjoy!!
Wow, I really like it. I may have to get my hands on this one!
It is very pretty over red!
I’m in love, especially with it over the lipstick.
I liked it best over the lipstick, too!
The combination of the gloss and lipstick looks fabulous – exactly like the Kinky Boots! The gloss alone, while impressive for sparkle, is a little more orange than I would usually go for though.
Now, if only the lipstick had been metallic… for supreme glittery-ness.
I think the color of this gloss on its own (rather than on top of the lipstick) is really pretty!
Glad ya liked it on its own, Erin!
OMG! So beautiful. But I vowed not to buy anything from MAC for rest of ’14. If it’s still available on 01/01/15 though…
It could be… you never know!
Oh I LOVE it. I already purchased but haven’t gotten it yet. I love that it’s warm bc red glosses often look pink when sheer.
Very true 🙂
The fact that its limited edition makes you want to get it but then again this shades looks beyond dupable so I’m kind of thinking twice.
I’m sure you can find a sparkly red gloss year-round!
This one looks so beautiful that I wouldn’t mind all the glitters!
That’s great news 🙂
I just can’t get over how much it reminds me of strawberry jam… love the lipstick though!
Haha!
I love this! It reminds me of my favorite all time red: Urban Decay Tart, which is DCd. If anybody knows that TART from UD and has a dupe, please inform me? That was my all time favorite with my pigmented lips, like a MLBB and oomph! Oh how I miss it. It’s nothing like Bite Tart, fyi. Thsts a cherry coral. Christine, do you recall Tart?
Sorry, Bite Beauty Tart or Urban Decay Tart? As far as I know, I don’t have either!
UD Lip Gunk in Tart, they don’t make it anymore but it was a sheer red with cool shimmer & a hint of warmth like a deep Apple & it smelled of Apple, too! 😀 circa.. Hmm.. 1999/2000? I wish it was never discontinued.
It looks… Surprisingly orangey on its own, what the hell xD
Yes, it’s not super blue based!
I must say it’s a lot better than I thought it would be… but VG Rihanna lipgloss is about all the sparkly red I need.
VG Rihanna is so great!
