MAC Sugarsweet Lipsticks & Lipglasses Swatches


Lollipop Loving Lipstick

Here are lip swatches of Sugarsweet’s lip products! 🙂

Lipsticks?

  • Bubbles is a bit frosty, and it isn’t a creamy finish, so it can skip or leave blotches behind. It gives decent color, and ideally this is worn with other lipsticks and glosses.
  • Lollipop Loving is frosty and feels like a lustre or glaze. It’s mostly opaque, though a couple of coats will be required on more pigmented lips.
  • Saint Germain is very creamy, and the color itself is quite opaque. You can do one light swipe of the lipstick to get a more toned down version of the color, or you can use two or three coats for an application as pictured.
  • Sweet Thing is a shimmery glaze texture. It has decent color pay off, and it does brighten up lips.
  • Touch is creamy with a subtle sheen in its finish. The color is rich, and it darkens lips to a neutral tone.

Tricolour Lipglasses?

  • Consume Me is thin, non-sticky to just slightly tacky. It’s virtually colorless.
  • Just Dessert is tinged a milky pink, but it still comes out quite colorless on my lips.
  • Simply Delicious is one notch above Just Dessert–a little pinker.
  • Tasty is the pinkest, though still not rich in color.
  • Triple-Yum has the most noticeable color difference, as the gold/bronze shimmer stands out.

And thus…

Most pigmented: Lollipop Loving, Saint Germain, Sweet Thing, Touch

So-so: Bubbles, Tasty, Triple-Yum

Colorless: Consume Me, Just Dessert, Simply Delicious

Nell, you’re wasting your money buying colourless lipgloss by MAC. The reviews haven’t been so great on them, best to wait for the next collection 😉

elle Avatar

I’ll probably just get one l/g, if that. They just all look the same, no colour. But I’m definitely going to get Sweet Thing and Saint Germain. I’m really loving Sweet Thing.

Jayne Avatar

Hmm…I don’t think I’ll get any of the lipglosses. They look and sound great but with no colour it just doesn’t seem worth it. I’d rather spend my money on those shadesticks!! Will get probably just Saint Germain of these.

michelle Avatar

Thanks!
I like some of the lipsticks but I don’t know about the lipglosses they all the same to me. What do you think Christine?

Lisa Avatar

Passing on all l/g. Bubbles is a bit too frosty for me and I’m not so big on brown l/s so I can probably pass on Touch but I’ll have to wait to see how it is. Looking like I’ll only end up getting two from this, Sweet Thing and Saint Germain. Thanks for the swatches 🙂

Pam Avatar

I LOVE Sweet Thing. I wasn’t too sure about the l/s from the photos, I thought I’d end up getting all the l/g because I’m more into l/g than l/s. Bubbles is way too frosty for me. Lollipop loving is too a bit but maybe with a l/g over the top. Even though I might not get many of these, I’m still so excited about this collection.

IZzySA Avatar

what’s the difference in this Lollipop Loving and the old one? I still have my backup Lollipop! All in all, I am a bit disapointed with this collection too.

msviolet Avatar

I was pretty sure I’d like the lipsticks (Sweet Thing and Lollipop Loving are my favs) but I figured there’d be issues with the glosses. How sad! I usually love MAC glosses but these are just waaaaay to thin for me.

Nars Avatar

Wow, Lollipop Loving doesn’t look green at all like the one from Heatherette! I thought the green sparkle was what it made the top of the milk from the lipstick bunch for me. Well I must go see it at a store myself! Your swatch for Consume Me doesn’t show up–literally it shows as a box with an x, not sure whether it’s just my computer–, but I get the idea from the swatches of other l/g’s. I was thinking about Bubbles for that highlighting purpose, but I just might as well skip it given that I still have a barely-used Sunsonic from Neo Sci-fi. lol! Thanks for the awesome swatches! 😀

Yaya Avatar

I think I’m going to go into MAC and try it. I really shouldn’t be spending any money, so it’s got to impress. Thanks for the swatches!

Audrey Avatar

Wow, those lipglass really aren’t pigmented. I was contemplating buying one but now I’m glad I didn’t! Thanks for the swatches.

Amy Avatar

It’s a shame those tricolour glosses have no colour payoff. They look gorgeous in the tube, but if there’s no colour payoff, it seems rather silly to buy all of them. Oh well. =[

Lolli Avatar

Those Tricolour Lipglasses aren’t half dissapointing! 🙁
So little colour if any atall!

i gotta say i love saint germain though and touch and sweet thing hehe

Nars Avatar

Quick question, Christine- is there any notable difference between Touch and Fresh Brew? Which would you pick if you were to choose either one of them?

Nars Avatar

I wasn’t even thinking about picking up Touch but now that I’ve seen your swatch I think I have to check it out after all! Thanks Christine!

jfount Avatar

I like Lollypop Loving a lot — a little low-profile shimmer (I don’t think that’s an oxymoron, lol!) is right up my alley. It looks like Sweet Thing is worth checking out in person though too which is a little surprising to me, but then the “swatches” on MAC’s website are not so good so really I shouldn’t be surprised.

Anitacska Avatar

I’m definitely getting Lollipop Loving and Sweet Thing, and the 3 pink lipglasses, mainly cause they’re so pretty in the tub, lol. 🙂

LuvJ Avatar

Never paid much attention to Lollipop Lovin during the Heatherette release.. it definitely got me looking now. I hope St. Germaine is not too cool… I love the color on your lips. Great swatches!

Melissa Avatar

awww man that sucks that the lipglasses are so clear….oh well what do you think of the mac nail polishes??/ THe peach looks so pretty do you think they are worth the $11… I was also thinking of getting refined msf but it looks like fun and games and not sure if worth the $27… I’d love to hear your opinion…:) thanks

Meike Avatar

I’m so dissapointed in the glosses! I mean, they look so much fun and totally worth getting, but they just don’t seam to have any colour. And I’m not really a lipstick person, although they do look lovely.

Chloe Avatar

Can anyone say those Tri-Color glasses are gimmicks? It looks just like a clear gloss. I won’t be getting these…You would be better off buying a cheaper drugstore gloss with more pigmentation.

Carrie Avatar

I know what you mean. I think they look interesting in the tube, but no way can I buy them if that’s all the color they give!

I am still thinking about getting Bubbles…I’m really pale and somehow like the idea of shiny white lips! lol

Colleen Avatar

I’m so sad about the lipglosses. They look so awesome in the tube and I am gloss girl. That being said, I think I may have to get Sweet Thing and I rarely buy lipsticks.

Caramel Avatar

Lollipop Loving is my favorite! But I’m a bit darker than you are (tan/true golden-bronze) and I don’t think it would suit my coloring. :/

Andrea Avatar

Yikes I was looking forward to checking out the glosses, but now none of them scream must have. You’d think MAC could make at least one of them different from the rest!!!

jfount Avatar

It’s ironic because some of the lipsticks are better glosses than the glosses! At least that’s the way Lollypop Loving and Touch for example look to me.

Eleanor Avatar

Lollipop loving looks so hot on you but I am not sure how it would look on my very pigmented lips. I do think I will get Bubbles if it is still around when I got to buy from the Style Warriors collection.

dolce aria Avatar

Hmmm. its probabyl a good thing i’m broke. Some of them caught my eye as “pretty”, but nothing extraordinary. I think i’ll wait for a Rose Romance to come out. Or the dazzlegloss one. I’ve never actually owned a lipglass or dazzlegloss, being more of a lipstick girl.But i’m game to try if the colors are good!

Bernice Avatar

Hi Christine !
Thanks for the lovely swatches so that we can get a better idea of the colour pay off & such =)
I was excited for this collection cos it seemed so gorgeous, spring & pretty but it doesn’t seem thaat great ):
But nonetheless, thanks again for the swatches !

Faiza Avatar

Those lip glasses really stink. What was MAC thinking after all the great products they’ve offered these don’t even reach the standards IMO.

Heather Avatar

Christine – do you think you could do a swatch comparison of the Lollipop Lovin’ from Heatherette and the one with Sugarsweet? Or do you still have both? I’m wondering if I should get it this time around also because I already have it, but if it looks a lot different, then I want to get this one also. Thanks!!

ChoyBun Avatar

I agree about the lipglass… 🙂 but I’m also curious about Sweet Thing being a overlooked/underrated color… or does it really not stand out at all?

Rena Avatar

Sweet thing is pretty, but I am passing on this collection. The lipgloss is an interesting gimmick, but the colors don’t show up at all, it looks like!

I am holding out for the Rose Romance collection 🙂

DevilishDoll Avatar

I definitely want Lollipop Loving and Sweet Thing now. I think I’ll also get Simply Delicious cause I wanna get at least one, plus I really like the name and think it will look pretty over Lollipop Loving.

Lingping Avatar

Looks like I can pass on these – *phew*

I spent too much money on Hello Kitty 🙂 The only one I like out of these is Sweet thing, and it seems somewhat similar to what Big Bow looks like on me, so I don’t need it. Those shadesticks on the other hand… 🙂

Rachael Avatar

Wow, Lollipop Lovin and Touch look so nice on your lips. I didn’t try any of the lip products on my lips, but on my hand they looked so blah. I may have to try them out now!

Natalia Avatar

I bought Lolipop Loving and I am definetly loving it =D now I wish I could have gotten Sweet Thing, its so pretty. And i wasnt plannin on buying a l/g but my boyfriend bought me Just Dessert and its good for just a touch of gloss =)

love Avatar

I thought I’d love the lip glosses, on first try it looked good, but its not glossy enough.
The only items I got from the collection are Perfect Topping Mineralize skin finish and the 2 nail polishes:
Seasonal peach and Peppermint Patti Really nice
Thanks Christine for the photos

Rennah Avatar

Touch looks really good on you!
Saint Germain, however… I don’t think it would look good on anyone.

I went in today and Back2MAC’d for Lollipop Loving (#2! – got it from Heatherette & love it!) & bought Simply Delicious lipgloss.
I also really liked Sweet Thing, but I already have a couple colors like that so I decided not to get it.

Manda Avatar

do you use a primer on ur lips? i cant believe how amazing lollipop looks on you.. i dont think itd come out that way on me.. and touch is gorgeous…

Brie Avatar

Well, I was unimpressed to begin with on the whole idea of those triple layer glosses, and now I am doubly unimpressed lol. You know, the Touch lip stick looks a lot prettier on you than it does swatched on skin though, it’s nicer than I thought it would be!

amanda Avatar

Sweet Thing is so pretty! I’m tempted by it, but it reminds me of Fun N Sexy, which I have. Too close to bother?
Lollipop Loving is quite lovely, too, but I’m a bit troubled by the frost-factor.

Taj Avatar

I saw Lollipop Lovin’ at the store and almost didn’t swatch it…but when I did…OMG- I totally fell in love! It is awesome! I NEED TO GET IT!

Chrissy Avatar

Thank you for the swatches, Christine. I was curious about Bubbles.. But now I know I’m not too impressed. Sweet Thing looks great though..,

Okami Avatar

Lollipop Lovin’ looks so pretty on you! I tried these on at the MAC store yesterday, and Lollipop Lovin’ made me look dead. I also had a totally different experience with Consume Me and Tasty Tricolour Lipglasses – were yours mixed up in the tubes, or still very in very distinct layers? I’m wondering if it makes a difference, because when I tried those two, Consume Me was all but clear but with a lot of gold glitter (way more than in your pic) and Tasty was much more pigmented – so much so that I wouldn’t dare apply it without looking in a mirror as I did so. It came out more pigmented and opaque than most Lustreglasses that I’ve tried, but not as opaque as Lipglasses like Red Devil. I wonder if they vary on application based on which layer the applicator picked more color up from…

Christine Avatar

Thanks, Okami! It’s too bad that it made you look dead 🙁 It’s so hard for me to envision that!

I’m finding some of the tricolour glosses mix more easily than others. Consume Me hardly mixes, but Tasty does a lot. I keep trying to dig into the bottom color (most pigmented), but it’s still really sheer.

Moni Avatar

I bought Lollipop Loving yesterday and I’m loving it!!

I didn’t even bother to try Sweet Thing, but after seeing your lip swatches here, I might go back to try that.

Tamara Avatar

I bought St. Germain even though I’m an NC44/45. To make it wearable on my skintone I first put on Half Red lip pencil all over my lips and then put on two coats of St. Germain and then blend them together with a lip brush. I plan on experimenting with other lip pencils to see what other combos I can come up with. I also bought Lollipop Loving and Sweet Thing. My fave of the bunch is Sweet Thing.

MIchelle Avatar

Does it get any PRETTIER than Lollipop lovin’, it is so nice on you! I must get that, I will skip the glosses, as they are so dull when on the lips, I have plenty of l/g to work with esp. if I want sheer. I would just use a tendertone.

joyce Avatar

kashdkjsad, WHY. i was planning on just getting lollipop loving but now i know i’m going to need two LL’s and 1 sweet thing 🙁 my wallet is crying!

i wish mac came out with a sugarsweet palette, right?! i don’t want to buy all 5 single shadows 🙁

kat Avatar

I second this! It seems like the collections with eyeshadows I like don’t have palettes, and the ones which have one colour or more which I dislike have palettes! Oh well! Easier on my wallet cause I can convince myself to skip them at 17$/pop!

Arika BH Avatar

Christine, thanks again for all of these swatches! I will be skipping all the lippies this time around. How many times have we seen colors like these and I hate sheer lipglosses. I want a few shadesticks and thats it for this collection. Oh and the mint nail polish if it’s not sold out at my MAC counter.

kat Avatar

Oohh they look lovely! I’m so glad I already have lollipop lovin cause I’d have to snag it! I’m also glad that the tricolour lipglasses are so sheer so I can not be tempted! I know people said they looked sorta kiddish, but I thought they looked fun!

Pamela Avatar

Do you think lollipop loving, touch and sweet thing would look good on nc42 skin. From the swatches i like all three of them but im not sure if they would suit my skin…i have to make a trip to see them in person but wanted to know your input!! please help!

Holly Avatar

Lollipop Loving is really nice on you! I expected it to be more coral, but I think I’m going to like it (I’ve got one coming to me on Monday).

Andrea Avatar

I love Lollipop Loving when I saw it in the packaging but when I tried it on, it looked horrid on me 🙁 That was one thing I really wanted to pick up too.

Bellissima Avatar

I’m going to return the Tasty tri color gloss, I could hardly get it out 1st of all, and the colors mixed somewhat from me stabbing the wand back and forth.,and considering its 21 CAD , rip off. im not impressed

Kate Avatar

I think Bubbles looks gorgeous on you. But I have yet to see on that doesn’t! Sweet Thing is very pretty, too. It’s funny, all the l/g’s are so sheer they look almost identical.

feda Avatar

I’m looking at getting all the lipsticks in this collection but bubbles and the lipglosses ill pass on I’m disappointed in mac for creating such visually tempting lip glosses but leaving us in such diappointment with no color payoff boo =/ its ok more money saved for the next collections =)

turkishdelight573 Avatar

hi christine
thanks for the swatches
i have a question,
do you think that touch is any similar to 4N lipstick from the N collection?
i love that lippy its my HG but i didnt get a back up n im running out!!!!!! AHHH!!
kicking myself

Laura Avatar

The glosses are such a disappointment, looks like I’ll just be getting lollipop loving! I wish MAC would stop with the re promotes now though, I want new things!

Lexi Avatar

Hey Christine,

I bought St. Germain yesterday. It’s quite chalky on my pigmented lips. I love the tone/color of the pink, but would love for it to look at bit creamier/less chalky– do you have any recs for a lipgoss? I tried morning glory and it seemed to highlight the frostiness….

Thanks!

michi(michelle) Avatar

i just got lollipop loving, which is now sold out at the macstore i go go, and i love it. also got peppermint patti nail polish. 🙂

Emily Avatar

I bought Saint Germain and its a little too purple for my liking. Do you know of any other colors similar but just pinker than Saint Germain? You’re the makeup expert 🙂 Thanks for the lip swatches, they’re always very accurate.

kiki Avatar

i just purchased lollipop loving and it looks really pretty paired with the splendid lipglass form the Dame Edna collection.
just thought i would share that little discovery 😛

jess Avatar

god these colors are terrible! lol so underwhelmed! blah! all the glosses are clear–your paying for pretty packaging. This was not the collection to follow hello kitty! damn shame!

cloudburst Avatar

Wow thumbs down on the glosses – I love Touch, I used to wear it all the time & I used to have Bubbles too (but it went bad) – I might just pick it up for old time’s sake. But for sure I’ll be getting Sweet Thing.

Marcela Avatar

Christine do you think that Sweet thing lipstick is kind of similar to the Big Bow from the HK collection???? The l/g looked so pretty on the package, but on the lips they are all the same, so dissapointed. =-(

Wendy Avatar

i picked up saint germain through my friend. hope its not too bright for me. im have an asian skin tone. 🙂 lollipop loving looks tempting! its not launched in malaysia yet so i have to wait.

adryna Avatar
