This is fun and a deep plum color. It's got sparkles and tastes like a jelly bean. The staying power isin't sosos wonderful but it's a really cute gloss. Wouldn't get it again, but just as a something-different gloss it rocks. Besides, anything that says "AC/DC" kicks a$$ regardless.

This is one of my all-time favorite make-up items! I'm on my third tube, I use it so often. It's a lovely sheer purple gloss with fine silver glitter and a jelly bena scent (unfortunately not much flavor :( )

Another reviewer, a filipino girl commented that it may work well with deeper skin tones--I'm very fair and rosey complected, and this color is gorgeous on me, too, so I would say it's very versatile.

Unfortunatly, it's avialability HAS gone by the way-side, as so many great UD products have (is anyone else as ticked as I am that they just stopped making those fabulous lipsticks!?) but if you can find it, this gloss is well worth having.

FYI-I'm a goth-girl at heart, so you dark-spirited ladies should love this!

AC/DC Lipgunk Review



Overall, I love UD Lip Gunks because they’re moist, shinny and last such a long time. I’ve swapped/bought several shades and have never been disappointed with the formula. Sadly, I notice that UD is slowly phasing out their many colors of lip gunk so their availability may or may not be an issue for you.

AC/DC looks like a nice dark purple in the bottle with sliver sparkles inside. When I use this shade however, the silver sparkles aren’t gritty on my lips or garish-looking at all. Application is VERY SMOOTH. As long as I wipe my lips well, the sparkles won’t be left behind on my mouth. The sparkles aren’t very big to begin with, so if a few should remain it’s not noticeable.

As with all lip gunks, they have yummy smells and tastes. This one was officially listed as jellybeans. To me this shade specifically tastes like grape jellybeans, which I can tolerate. Grape isn’t my favorite taste of all time, but the taste and scent aren’t so distracting that it prevents me from wearing this shade.

Unlike Paranoid or some of the other UD lip gunk shades, AC/DC actually goes on somewhat sheer but can be built for a bit darker look. Normally I don’t go for lip colors that are sheer because my upper lip is darker than my bottom one. However, the purple color is a nice wash on my lips and actually somehow works with my dark top lip. I like wearing this especially with maroon or dark purple clothing, but if you wanted something a bit sophisticated-looking it’s good to wear then too. I’ve worn this both during the day and evening, but as a Filipino from Hawaii- I think I can get away with it because of my complexion.

The only thing that might prevent someone from buying this is the price- which retails for about $13! However, I’ve been able to find and sample these for a little less through swapping and eBay auctions. You’ll only be able to get this shade through swapping and eBay auctions now, because the company has discontinued it.

If this isn’t your shade, then don’t be afraid to look continue to look for other lip gunk shades that work for your coloring.

Damn, I just don't like the texture of lipgunks. Not enough body, not thick enough for me. I'd probably deal except the color is just too brownish on me. Some plums do- not sure why. I do like that it applies evenly, with no streaking; many lipglosses this color don't. Tasted fabulous too. I'll stick with Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatments in Always Ascher, basically.

I was reluctant at first to try this b/c it looked scary-dark in the tube. But, this is a pretty, sheer blackberry shade with fine silver shimmer particles. Has a fun, fruity jelly bean scent. As with all UD l/g, I love the smooth, non-gritty texture. This is a d/c shade, so I got this and Paranoid for half-price on the UD website. Not a HG shade for me, but I could see myself reaching for this occassionally.

*Gasp* Fun, wearable colour. I was worried that this would be too light on me, but it remains an intense burgundy/plum while still staying whisper-sheer. I am sure that this will be a versatile gloss in my collection, both for putting a bit of glitter over a lipstick, and for maintaining sexy yet subtle lips when I want attention on my smoky eyes. Yay!

I was terrified to try this color. It's horribly dark-looking in the tube. Surprisingly, the color is very sheer and wearable! I'm not so keen on the jelly bean taste/scent. I'll probably pick up another tube of this while UD still has them in stock (RIP product).

One of my favorite UD glosses, this one is a sheer blackberry shade with a bit of silver microglitter. The sparkle is VERY subtle, and it isn't gritty at all.

This is probably one of the only purples I can wear. It's very sheer, too, with tiny silver sparkles, and tastes and smells like jellybeans. I have heard that it's been discontinued, though. =(

This one looks pretty in the tube, but when I put it on it's so sheer it hardly shows up. It's nice to put over l/s, but I'm disappointed I can't wear it alone (I have pale, unpigmented lips). The texure is great, as is the taste -- blackberry, I believe? I just wish it was more pigmented...

I really like this gloss. When I first put it on it goes on kind of weird but after a swipe some more on its perfectly even and isnt bumpy or sticky. I really like this and will try some more for sure. Its also nice to have a scented lip gloss..I think this one is jelly bean?

I got this in a swap and I don't know if I really like it. The smell is very overpowering (headache-inducing, even) and the color is nothing to sneeze at. It sort of migrates to the corners of my mouth and when I apply it, it doesn't produce a consistent amount of color. I have to layer it on and it ends up looking lumpy. I just don't like it, but I keep it for... well, because it looks cool in the tube. Heh.

This is in my bad gal case. I loved it so much I bought a full one. It's a medium plum with great staying power. I love UD glosses!

The color on this looks intimidating, but it actually goes on fairly sheer. The glitter is very sparse--you can barely tell there's any in it. I love the plum color, it works well on my FFF skin.

AC/DC Lip Gunk is by far one of my very favorite lipglosses! It is a beautiful plummy grape color wither silver sparkles! It looks fantastic against my MMM Stila D/E Yellow undertoned skin and I think it would suit a variety of different skintones and colors! Lovely texture, not too gloopy, smells yummy, and it lasts a decent amount of time! :)

Love this shade in my Bad Girl facecase. It's a highly pigmented muted down mauve brown with a hint of grey in it. I love the smell and the smooth texture. It's very moisturizing. I like dab this over nude l/s and puple l/l. Enjoy :)

This color has been described well by other reviewers--I agree that the glitter is barely visible after application. I like the smell, just wished it had a bit more staying power. But will definitely repurchase.

I ordered this color on a whim and when I received it in the mail, I was a little intimidated by the dark color and thick silver glitter. However, when I put it on, it goes on a sheer plum berry and the glitter isn't as noticeable as I feared. As the age 30 looms closer, I feel the need to wean myself off of glitter, but this is still suitable.
