MAC x The Simpsions Lipglasses
There are four new, limited edition shades of MAC Lipglass ($16.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) featured in the upcoming collaboration with The Simpsons, which releases online on August 28th and in-stores on September 4th. I think seeing these made me long for lipsticks, too, as MAC often does lipgloss and lipstick pairing. Over the years, it’s often their limited edition lipstick shades that sell out the quickest, and I kept thinking, “What would they have created to pair with yellow lipgloss?”
MAC Grand Pumpkin Lipglass ($16.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright creamy orange.” It’s a slightly muted, medium orange with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage that just slightly settled into lip lines (but it wasn’t too noticeable). It lasted for four hours on me when I tested it. NYX Cherry Cheesecake (P, $5.00) is slightly brighter. NARS Wonder (P, $26.00) is darker, brighter. MAC Live It Up (LE, $15.00) is lighter. MAC Cheerful (P, $22.00) is redder. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy Lipglass ($16.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as an “electric blue violet.” It’s a brightened, fuchsia magenta with cool, blue undertones and violet shimmer. It had mostly opaque color coverage, and it applied evenly and smoothly. The color wore well for five hours. MAC Unlimited Style (LE, $15.00) is lighter. MAC Pink Poodle (By Request) (LE, $15.00) is brighter. Urban Decay Crush (P, $19.00) is purpler. MAC Style Packed (LE, $15.00) is less shimmery. MAC Heroine (LE, $15.00) is less shimmery. MAC Embrace Me (LE, $15.00) is pinker. MAC Narcissus (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery, purpler. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Nacho Cheese Explosion Lipglass ($16.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright neon lime yellow.” It’s a bright, green-tinged yellow–like highlighter yellow–with faint yellow pearl. Applied, it turns my lips more of a yellow-orange kind of color, as it had semi-sheer color coverage. This applied horribly; it settled into lip lines, was impossible to even out, and in general, a very fussy lip color. If you apply a very small amount (less than one pull of gloss), you might get semi-decent evenness in the application. On me, it wore for three hours. I could only think of one other yellow gloss: MAC Bright Side (LE, $15.00), which is lighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Red Blazer Lipglass ($16.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright fuchsia.” It’s a bright, fuchsia-red with pink pearl and subtle, cool undertones. It had fairly opaque pigmentation, and it applied evenly and smoothly. It lasted for five hours on me. MAC Glam (LE, $15.00) is redder. Revlon Adorned (P, $7.49) is more opaque. Giorgio Armani #523 (P, $29.00) is redder. Milani Flashy (DC, $6.49) is cooler-toned, more shimmery. MAC Embrace Me (LE, $15.00) is lighter. Giorgio Armani #505 (P, $29.00) is redder. Burberry Pink Sweet Pea (LE, $27.00) is slightly cooler-toned. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Oh, Grand Pumpkin looks pretty.
It was surprisingly nice – I worried it was going to be a big settler!
I’m actually kind of digging that Grand Pumpkin.
I liked that it went on a lot better than a lot of other lighter cream glosses by MAC!
I am surprised at how much I like 3 out of the 4 (NOT the yellow!) on you!
Thanks, Gina!
I really love Grand Pumpkin, Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy and Red Blazer, but I don’t use lipglasses often enough to justify buying them. I’ll probably get Red Blazer alone.
Enjoy Red Blazer!
love grand pumpkin! I would have enjoyed seeing that colour as a lipstick
It would have been nice!
I wanted to see if Itchy and Scratchy was a dupe for my Mac Wonder Woman Athena’s Kiss lipgloss but it didn’t have a comparison swatch picture. Would you call these two dupes? Thanks!
Hi Jaclyn!
They are very similar! I think Athena’s Kiss is a little darker with larger silver shimmer. The swatches are really old, so they weren’t added to the updated Swatch Gallery (I had to do a cut off for quality purposes) – http://www.temptalia.com/mac-wonder-woman-lipglasses-review-photos-swatches
Thank you! This is good to know since Athena’s Kiss is way too old to use now.
Ooooh. Grand Pumpkin is lovely!
That seems to be the favorite so far!
I want all but the cray-cray yellow color! So pretty 🙂
Not a surprise that the yellow isn’t popular, lol! It is a funky color, but the application just makes it awful. I could see it working over some lipsticks, though.
I actually cringed when I read the shade descriptor for Nacho Cheese Explosion awhile back. Should have gone with a gold shade instead. lol
I love the Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy one though.
I feel like it NEEDED a lipstick complement to it, you know? It applies so poorly on its own, but it might be really nifty layered.
Flash of yellow gold. 😉
I’m wondering how the yellow would look over a red lip pencil, it might turn out to be an interesting jellied orange look.
What the heck kind of name is Itchy and Scratchy and Sexy?? Like, they just had to throw in that last adjective to, I don’t know, assure women they’d look hot in it? It’s a pretty color, but I’m not sure I want wear something that sounds like it warrants a trip to the VD clinic. (God help you if you own Guerlains Browny Clap, too!)
Nacho Cheese was an expected miss (go big or go home, MAC), and I really like Red Blazer.
Not extensively fond of the packaging but glad to see some decent glosses from them.
The texture of the NCE was just soooo difficult to work with when the color is so light but bright.
I could see it working as a mixer to warm up corals and pinks but not on it’s own. And at that price, you may as well she’ll out the extra for OOC Lip Tars, which are formulated to mix, y’know?
Going the Lip Tar route would be an option for sure!
That’s exactly what I thought when I read ” Itchy and Scratchy and Sexy!” Funniest lip gloss name ever. 😀 😀 😀
I’m glad I wasn’t alone on that one, LOL!
Oh wow i really like grand pumpkin!! that’s the one that i didn’t think i would like, aside from the yellow lol. but i think it would make a nice nude lipstick topper.
It could!
Loving the purple!!
Yay!
Red Blazer is beautiful!
It’s a very fun shade!
Nacho Cheese Explosion? Seriously? Hate the color but the name is cute 🙂 Red Blazer looks really pretty though.
Red Blazer is a fun pop o’ fuchsia-red!
Wow, are you wearing the Pink Sprinkles blush on that picture of Nacho Cheese Explosion? You look gorgeous!
I’m probaby wearing both, lol!
IS& S !!!! I love it!!!
YAY! These names are LONG!
For some reason, I find the Nacho Cheese very interesting! haha But I doubt it will suit my natural lip tone. I love the Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy on you! Thanks for the swatches!!!
I wanted to like it for its interesting color, but man, that application!
I do like the purple one. Why the heck didn’t they do any lipsticks??
No idea!
I planned on skipping this collection but I do like the way Grand Pumpkin and Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy looks. I wanted to like Nacho Cheese Explosion but after Playland and Brightside I knew it wouldn’t turn out too great. It’s too bad because it’s a really unique and pretty color
I wish these more unique shades would have more quality!
I am surprised at the Grand pumpkin. .really pretty on u! i am even more excited about the 2 pink glossed with your lip swatches. Beautiful! !
Thank you, Dani!
I really thought I was going to need Red Blazer, but now that I’ve seen it, I’m not blown away. Definitely need Revlon Adorned instead.
It’s hard to compete against Adorned!
Was hoping more of these would be more opaque. I know they’re a gloss but I’m sure a lot of people will have fun with these!
They are some fun shades!
Ooh, I love Grand Pumpkin! Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy is pretty too, just not something I’d wear. As for Nacho Cheese Exposion.. NOPE! The name really turns me off too lol
LOL! Some of the names are hate it/love it!
Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t like Marge’s expression on the packaging. Like she is displeased or has a furrowed brow.
Oh, that’s too bad! I think they use that expression on most of the packaging!
Omg I’m gonna need Grand Pumpkin and Itchy and Scratchy!
Enjoy ’em!
I don’t think we are getting the Simpsons Collection and honestly I’m not too sad about it. I was in MAC the other day and was told we will be getting Moody Blooms and A Novel Romance. (we get the collections later than everyone else). Anyway, they didn’t say anything about this collection. Based on what I’ve seen I think Grand Pumpkin was the surprise star of the lip glosses as well. 🙂
I’m glad you’ll be getting those two at least!
Itchy and scratchy and sexy looks really pretty.
I like the shimmer in it!
I’ve never been a fan of MAC Lipglass (I hate the way they settle in liplines) but I’m shocked to find that I actually really like the way these look, except the yellow, of course. Too bad that yellow was so unimpressive. I would have been all over it if the application had been better. I love lip colors that are different!
Yes, many of them settle due to the thicker consistency!
I like Red Blazer and Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy best. Grand Pumpkin is nice. Nacho Cheese Explosion would have to be worn over a lipstick to work at all.
I was really disappointed in how streaky NCE was!
I’m pleasantly surprised how cute all except the yellow are! That yellow though…ugh.
The yellow was definitely a disappointment!
I like all of them but the yellow!
Woohoo!
I really wish they had lipsticks with this collection but I’m actually surprised at Grand Pumpkin. Very pretty. I have Heroine and Embrace Me lipglasses but I still want I&S&S and Red Blazer. I feel like such an addict. LOL
LOL! Well, I&S&S is probably different enough because of the shimmer!
Red Blazer, please!
Enjoy, Renee!
MAC also had a sheer lipglass years ago called Dreamstate that was yellow…
Thanks for sharing, Ginger!
Itchy & scratchy & sexy its beautiful! I need to get this! Red blazer looks pretty also! I don’t understand the concept behind yellow gloss but you never know!
It could work for layering, so I’m surprised they didn’t have a go-to product designed to work with it!
Not surprising the yellow is terrible but the two pinks (or purple and pink?) are gorgeous!
Yeah, it’s not a HUGE surprise, lol!
Yup, I figured Red Blazer would be nice! I like being right!
Yay!!
How does Red Blazer compare to Girl About Town and True Babe lipglosses?
Both of those are a lot less red – way pinker!
I want everything!!!!
Your wallet is in trouble!
Red Blazer is super pretty! Even though the Nonindicative Name confuses me because it’s not… red?
Red Blazer and Grand Pumpkin seem to be two of shades everyone is loving!
ugh i saw this collection at work and i wasn’t impressed when i looked. i wasn’t planning on buying anything anyways though. but that nacho cheese explosion… when i first saw it, my mind went to “liquid baby diarrhea”. i mean, really? but ISS and red blazer are really gorgeous though.
Have you changed your mind or still going to skip the collection, Kari?
Red Blazer is gorgeous!
It is very eye-catching!
I’m so surprised with Grand Pumpkin, it looks beautiful.
Seems to be a sleeper hit!
Grand pumpkin and Red blazer are beautiful shades.. lime green was kind of interesting but formula seems to be unforgiving on lips.. :-/
Super unforgiving 🙁
Do you not post YT videos anymore? Forgive me if it’s a silly question , but I’m a newbie to the makeup world:)
Sorry, I don’t have time for YouTube!
I love Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy, I can imagine it would be nice pairing with a very deep vampy lip colour like Rebel or Cyber to add a little something extra 🙂
That would totally rock!
Quite nice. MAC lipglasses have a formula I’m not fond of, but I might have to pick one up.
I find it a little old school now!
tbh i only own one lipgloss. if i want a sheen ill top it with some lip balm and when i want colour i wear lipstick.
Christine you look great in everything even that ridiculous Nacho Cheese! I think we are going to have to start dressing you in garbage bags or something, but then you could even pull that off 🙂
LOL! I don’t know about that, but thank you 🙂
I hope this collection makes here because I really, really want I&S&S and Red Blazer. Both absoloutely well within my comfort zone. I should really try Grand Pumpkin as it’s so not in my zone, a very nice colour, though.
I actually love MAC lipglasses a lot, I might be very nostalgic, but they feel right to me 🙂
Love how you rock all kinds of lipcolours, even the NCE looke OK on you. I love the name of that one, I must say.
I have my fingers crossed for you, Helene!
Between liquid candy yum yum and a better version of radiant orchid.. The yellow totally warms up the golden in your face, giving you a peaches n cream glow! I love the look on you, you otherworldly creature! 😉
Aw, thank you Lotus!
Not gonna lie, I love the Itchy & Scratchy one, and if it weren’t MAC, I would buy it in a second to add to my stash of purples!
The Nacho Cheese ons is just disappointing. I know it’s a Simpsons collection, but that’s all the more reason to go big or go home on the yellow, right? I think that if they couldn’t formulate an opaque, vinyl yellow (OCC lip tar style), they shoulnd’t have bothered. It would have been so awesome if there had been a bright yellow and a bright blue lipgloss to go with two more ‘wearable’ shades…
They could have maybe done a shimmery golden yellow highlight to make a yellow that was wearable, too, if they were set on a yellow!
All of these look better than I expected. That is, except the yellow one. It actually really does look like you ate Nacho Cheese and had some leftover grease smeared on your lips!
LOL!
How does Red Blazer compare to Girl About Town lipglass?
Girl About Town is bluer and pinker!
I wonder how Nacho Cheese Explosion would look over certain shades of orange lipsticks & glosses. Most orange lippes are too dark for me, so I keep looking for a lighter orange shade of gloss that’s opaque, but can be sheered out. This might be what I need to get the shade of tangerine I’m looking for. What do you think, that maybe this would make a better layering gloss?
It’s on the thicker side, so I don’t love it for layering!
Wanted them for fun, but thanks to your review want them!!! They are good and pretty!!!
Happy to help, Luisafer!
I needs Red Blazer and Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy
Hope you can get ’em, Jill!
I&S&S is a gorgeous shade, almost looks like a holographic finish – those sparkles, I am hypnotized!!
It is very pretty!
Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy is really pretty! That name, though…
lol!
I just ordered the Itchy & scratchy! Ugh can’t wait til it comes.
Hope you love it, Erica!
Grand Pumpkin looks very pretty but I’m not sure how it would show up on my “dark” lips.
I just purchased “itchy and scratchy sexy” and “red blazer”. I hope that I like them. Thank your for the review!
My pleasure, Monica!
got Red Blazer; yay!
Woohoo!!
All of the colors look great on you! I love anything coral or orange, so had to have Grand Pumpkin. I grew up watching The Simpsons and still do lol, so there was no way I could leave without grabbing ISS. Red Blazer is pretty but I have so many colors like it. Thanks for the swatches, I always come here to see the colors first. I have no worries ordering online :).
Thank you so much! xoxo
