MAC Lipglass — Bright Side, Lots of Laughs, Live It Up, Carousel, Pure Silliness
The MAC Playland Collection includes five new and limited edition shades of MAC LipglassApril 10th April 15th (MAC corporate confirmed as of 4/10 8:26AM PST) and in-stores and at counter on April 17th.
Bright Side is described as a “creamy yellow.” It’s a medium, warm-toned yellow with white pearl. It’s semi-sheer, so when applied to my lips, my natural lip color makes it so it ends up looking like a yellow-peach. It didn’t apply evenly, though, and it tended to settle into lip lines. It wore well for three hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. I wasn’t able to think of any dupes for this one!
Carousel is described as a “creamy pink.” It’s a light-medium, cool-toned pink with a creamy, milky finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, but I really wished it had applied evenly! The thickness of Lipglass seems to make these creamy, milky shades a total pain in the behind to apply. It lasted for four hours on me and was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Patentpink (LE, $20.00) is less glossy. MAC Long Love Love (P, $19.50) is cooler-toned. MAC Saint Germain (LE, $15.00) is purpler. MAC Going Casual (LE, $20.00) is sheerer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Live It Up is described as a “creamy orange.” It’s a light-medium, milky orange with a creamy, glossy finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, and this shade actually applied fairly evenly, though it wasn’t perfect. It wore well for four hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. Maybelline Glistening Amber (055) (P, $8.99) is more shimmery, sheerer, lighter. Chanel Envolee (427) (LE, $29.50) is lighter, sheerer. MAC Imperial Light (LE, $20.00) is more shimmery, less pigmented. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Lots of Laughs is described as a “creamy peach.” It’s a light-medium, neutral-to-cool-toned pink with a creamy finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, and it applied so-so–a little unevenly, some settling into lip lines. It lasted for four hours on me, though, and it was neither drying nor hydrating. Urban Decay Lovechild (P, $20.00) is sheerer, darker.Revlon Bejeweled (P, $7.49) is sheerer. Maybelline Petal Plush (100) (P, $8.99) is more shimmery, lighter. MAC Picture Pink (LE, $15.00) is slightly lighter, cooler-toned. Urban Decay Obsessed (P, $19.00) is sheerer. MAC Infinitely Likeable (P, $19.50) is cooler-toned. MAC Stay Sweet (LE, $15.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Angel (LE, $15.00) is darker. MAC Pagoda (LE, $20.00) is slightly lighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Pure Silliness is described as a “creamy lilac.” It’s a cool-toned, light-medium pink-purple with a creamy, glossy finish. It applied terribly unevenly, though it had semi-opaque color coverage. The color wore well for four hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Patentpink (LE, $20.00) is lighter. NARS Coeur Sucre (P, $26.00) is more shimmery. MAC Saint Germain (LE, $15.00) is a touch lighter.MAC Pink Nouveau (LE, $15.00) is similar. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Live it up lipglass!!! so pretty! What lipstick would you layer this over?
Anything peach, coral, pink would be easy to layer over.
I love the array of colours – so bright and pretty for spring/summer. They remind me of popsicles! The uneven application is disappointing though, as is the fact that the creamier colours set into lip lines. I’ll probably pass on them because of that. And the gold shades are really perplexing!
I wish Lipglass wasn’t so thick 🙁
Completely agree with you Amanda.I had my heart set on Carousel and pure silliness but how it settles on the lips changes my mind as well
This collection makes me happy like children and candy. 🙂
Just looking at it… I’ve a feeling I won’t be paying for any, but it’s delicious to look at all together! Haha.
Haha!
Holy crap, these are ADORABLE together! o.o
They are cute all lined up!
Pure Silliness is so pretty! It kind of reminds me of Viva Glam Nicki. I think I’ll have to check this one out too!
I can see the similarity!
That yellow lip gloss is really unique!
It definitely is!
None of these are calling my name..
Maybe next collection!
OMG! Live it up looks gorgeous. i just wish it applied a little more evenly on lips. Still its better than rest i think. The tubes look really cute. ^_^ BTW does the yellow mellows down bright shades if used on top? can’t really think of any other use out of that one. 😛
It will lighten and warm up a darker shade if you apply it on top!
Pass on these, they all look like they pool and your lips are younger than mine
They’re all classic Lipglass… thick, tacky, and because they’re milky/creamy, settle noticeably 🙁
Live It Up reminds me of Sock Hop!
Thanks for sharing!
Oh, I was so hoping that Bright Side would be opaque; it would have been such an interesting and unique gloss! Is it just me, or has Mac really played it safe with these glosses?
My guess is they were designed more for layering with the lipsticks than to be worn on their own (but I think they should be more versatile and wearable either way!).
Do you think that pure silliness would be a dupe for viva glam Nicki 1 lipglass, I lost mines recently and i’ve been heart broken ever since 🙁 and I would love a similar one. Thank you Christine
I think VG Nicki is a bit cooler.
Live it up is pretty! I like lipglasses over lipsticks though not on its own!
Yeah, these would be best over a lipstick!
Live it up looks so nice on you! Great for a warm smokey eye or a bright one with blues and blue based purples!
Thanks, Erin!
Oh dear – given the result on lips, Pure Silliness has a rather appropriate name 😛 (but then I am terribly biased against chalky-based things that settle in lip lines, so take me with a grain of salt).
Bright Side is very interesting, but I wish they’d actually pulled the trigger and made it a bit more opaque…
I find the tendency of thicker glosses to settle into lip lines very annoying!
I like Live It Up!
Yay!
Live It Up is awesome! I never thought I would like an orange lip color but it’s beautiful.
It has a softer look to it – maybe that’s what’s catching your eye!
Hi Christine!
I would like to ask how Carousel compares to VG Gaga 1? And since your collection has grown so much since your review, can you also please tell me any other duoes for it? Thank you! Just found my old tube of VG Gaga and OMG I love it.
Sorry *dupes
Viva Glam Gaga is cooler-toned, more muted!
Ohhh if only I could bear the Lipglass formula! Live it up looks so gorgeous!!
It’s so thick 🙁
Pass this collection looks so unwearable 🙁
Pretty much have to wear ’em over something else!
Live it up and Slight Silliness.. lovely names and shades.. <3
Beautiful lip swatches too.. 🙂
Thank you!
some great colours!
Which is your favorite, Taslima?
I’m not usually into MAC gloss, but all of these look so cute! Live It Up is definitely my favorite, though.
If I had to pick one, that would probably be mine as well.
Oh man! i love it Live it up !!! *_*
Yay!!
I love both Carousel and Pure Silliness! Just out of curiosity, do you think they are different enough to justify buying both, or similar enough to just buy one?
I would probably just get one, honestly!
pure silliness <3 i think im in love
Yay!
