MAC Mall Madness Lipglass Review, Photos, Swatches (Archie's Girls)

MAC Mall Madness Lipglass ($16.50 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “mid-tone pink violet.” It’s a pinky-plum with gold, fuchsia, and violet micro-shimmer. MAC Dress Kimono is similar in color but has a lot less shimmer. MAC Dare to Dare is sheerer and has larger sparkle. MAC Imperial Red is a touch darker. Bobbi Brown Electric Violet is sheerer and a bit purpler.

Applied, it yielded semi-opaque color coverage with a good amount of color and shimmer. The color didn’t settle into lip lines, and it went on smoothly and evenly. Lipglass has a thicker consistency that’s rather tacky, and this shade wore for just over three hours and was neither hydrating nor drying. It has really subtle shimmer, despite it seeming to have so much of it, so if you like just a little sparkle, you may like this shade a lot. There’s just enough color that it’s not a barely-there gloss, but it’s not too dark or bright. I want to call it spring-but-better. MAC Lipglasses are vanilla-scented and come with a doe-foot applicator.

I actually bought this on impulse because of the glitter (and the cute name!) 😛 It’s funny how objective peoples’ tastes can be. The color itself is really pretty though too, I bet it will look great over the billion pink lipsticks it seems like I’ve bought recently.

I like this a lot. Question for anyone who might know, how does this compare to MAC Lovechild in terms of the base color (I know Lovechild has gold shimmer not iridescent)?

I really like this! The products in this collection seem to be much better, quality and performance wise, than some of the recent MAC releases. I’m loving Archie’s Girls!

There aren’t too many colors I’m not willing to pull off but this pinky mauve is one of them. It looks great on you, but on me it would make me feel the way Dita Von Teese does in jeans.

I love love love this look on you Christine! I know it’s not listen as a dupe, but do you own the discontinued little vi by Mac gloss? I was wondering how this compares!

I came here to ask the same thing! I’ve been trying to google to see how similar they are. I think I’m going to have to buy it anyway, just incase as I really love that colour.

My natural lip color is a little bit darker then yours, do you think the color will show up on lips or only the shimmer will be more prominent??

This is stellar, and your eye make-up rocks! Divaa!! 🙂 I can’t wait for you to review Summer Sweetheart, that’s the lipglass I went with.

Hopefully I’m not too late to this thread to ask… Does anyone know of a lipstick that’s similar in color to this? Plumful looks similar but I’m not sure. Thank you 🙂

This product gets an A+ for me!
Sure, it doesn’t last long but it doesn’t bother me to bring it out and touch up. Touching up is fun to me lol (lip products that is, face products are what I don’t want to have to touch up)

I LOVE how this looks on you, Christine. I was so excited to get this, but it looks completely different on me. It just doesn’t have the depth of color. I guess it has to do with my natural lip color. C’est la vie, I still like it.
