No fancy blue colored top portion to mimic Marge&#8217;s iconic hair. No yellow bottom portion to mimic Marge&#8217;s body. Instead, MAC opted for an up-close and personal shot of Marge on the bottom portion of the tube. Marge is giving us quite the sass with all that <em>smizing<\/em>, which is good&#8230; but in my opinion, I think the packaging is a missed opportunity. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I think it looks cute and all&#8230; but they could&#8217;ve taken it so much further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6972\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons01.jpg\" alt=\"MACSimpsons01\" width=\"640\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons01.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons01-315x201.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #999999;\">MAC x Marge The Simpsons &#8211; Grand Pumpkin Lipglass<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6978\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons07.jpg\" alt=\"MACSimpsons07\" width=\"640\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons07.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons07-315x143.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #999999;\">MAC x Marge The Simpsons &#8211; Grand Pumpkin Lipglass <span style=\"color: #999999;\">one pass (L) and <span style=\"color: #999999;\">built up<\/span> (R)<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6979\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons08.jpg\" alt=\"MACSimpsons08\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons08.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons08-315x164.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #999999;\">MAC x Marge The Simpsons &#8211; Grand Pumpkin Lipglass<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6980\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons09.jpg\" alt=\"MACSimpsons09\" width=\"640\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons09.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/MACSimpsons09-315x163.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">MAC x Marge The Simpsons &#8211; Grand Pumpkin Lipglass<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Grand Pumpkin<\/strong> ($16.50\/\u20ac19,50 for <span class=\"st\">4.8g<\/span>\/0.17 fl. oz); is by MAC described as a &#8220;bright creamy orange.&#8221; I&#8217;d describe it as a light-medium, vivid milky orange. It has semi-opaque coverage but can look a little streaky. It applies fairly evenly, but moves around a bit too much along the center of the lip. The lipglass provides about 3-4 hours of wear on me and is neither hydrating nor drying.<\/p>\n<p>I really like this color. It&#8217;s one of those shades that goes perfectly with so many makeup looks. It&#8217;s bright and has a pop of color, yet it&#8217;s not overpowering and in your face. I gravitate towards colors like this a lot during Spring and Summer. It did remind me a lot of MAC&#8217;s <a title=\"Review &amp; Swatches: MAC Playland \u2219 Live it Up &amp; Sweet Experience\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/2014\/05\/review-swatches-mac-playland-live-it-up-sweet-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Live It Up<\/strong><\/a> lipglass from their <strong>Playland<\/strong> collection though. <em>Live It Up<\/em> is just a tad bit deeper in color.<\/p>\n<h2>THE VERDICT<\/h2>\n<p>This lipglass gets me even more stoked for the <strong>Marge The Simpsons<\/strong> collection. I think Grand Pumpkin is a fun and playful color that a lot of people will like. It might not be anything new, but fun and exciting it sure is. The packaging leaves something to be desired, though. MAC could&#8217;ve gone crazy with this one, and it&#8217;s sad to see that they kept it so simple and almost rushed looking. However, that doesn&#8217;t take away that I can&#8217;t wait to see the other colors in this collection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/JoeyHealy18B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6751\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/JoeyHealy18B.jpg\" alt=\"JoeyHealy18B\" width=\"256\" height=\"48\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The collection is set to release online <span style=\"color: #000000; background: #FE6E93; padding: 1px; font-weight: Normal; font-style: Normal;\"><strong>August 28th<\/strong><\/span> and in-stores <span style=\"color: #000000; background: #FE6E93; padding: 1px; font-weight: Normal; font-style: Normal;\"><strong>September 4th<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wc-shortcodes-box wc-shortcodes-item wc-shortcodes-content wc-shortcodes-clearfix wc-shortcodes-box-secondary \" style=\"text-align:center;\"> <strong>What do you think of this Marge The Simpsons lipglass?\u00a0<strong>Are you counting down the days \u2019till September 4th? <\/strong>Share in the comments below!<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>\u2765 Nikkie<br \/>\n@nikkietutorials<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate the 25th anniversary of everyone&rsquo;s favorite animated family, The Simpsons have teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to bring a collection filled with bright, vivacious Simpson-Staple products.
