In 1994, MAC introduced VIVA GLAM, an outspoken deep red that was universal in appeal and glamour.

In 1997, a second lipstick was created VIVA GLAM II, a pinked mauve.

VIVA GLAM III, a foxy brown plum launched in 2000. VIVA GLAM IV, a heartful rose charged with gold, introduced in March 2002.

In March 2004, Viva Glam V makes its debut, a pure neutral pink with a delicious Lustre finish!

VIVA GLAM VI, the newest member of the VIVA GLAM family, is a warm terracotta-plum with pearl finish. Wear it alone or finish it off with a coat of VIVA GLAM VI Lipglass.

Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the MAC AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS.

6 shades have so far been created.

Best range

I have tried most of the shades in this range and i have to say that the colours are on point and the formula is amazing. They don't bleed much and stay on for a good amount of time. The packaging is also so cute. I love carrying these lipsticks around with me

Amazing!

I love the formula of Mac lipsticks and I love the smell and the packaging. The only thing i dont like is the price. I feel like $40 is too much to spend on a lipstick. But with the viva glam range, the proceeds go to the AIDS foundation and that is something I am 100% willing to give $40 to. I definitely recommend them.

Definition of Kissable

The perfect alternative if you're not that into bright reds, VIVA GLAM is an amazing ashier apple lip colour. I can wear this to finish off an everyday look, or bring it in bold with a similar lip liner and gloss.

Tips: For an everyday plumped lip, I lightly swipe it around the edges of my lips and blend it in. The colour gives you a subtle pigmented look xx

Viva Glam all the way

My favorite lipstick. Viva Glam 3. I buy this shade all the time and have been doing so since it first launched in 2000. A great day and night shade. Lasts a long time and you don't have to reapply frequently. I did get the glass and was great for summer days. Sometimes felt heavy but still lovely colors. Don't know what I would do if they discontinued this color.

Viva Glam Miley Number 1

I managed to get my hot little hands on this lippy! The colour is a nice bright light fuchsia pink. I have a thing for MAC lippys and this one is no exception. I love this colour it's nice and bright and is one I wear when I want to stand out. The wear is really good like the normal MAC lippys and I don't find this formula tends to bleed. I can wear this all day and only have to touch it up 2-3 times in the day to keep it looking really good. I goes on nicely and is a pleasure to wear.

Viva Glam Rihanna - caramel red apples!

I received the Viva Glam Rihanna lipstick for my birthday last year. It's not a lipstick I would have picked up myself because it has two things I'm not too fond of - micro shimmers and a frosted finish but surprisingly I love it!

It's a soft blue based red which from afar can give off an orange hue. It's packaged in a rubberised red tube which is stunning! Looking at the product I immediately thought I'd hate it but once swatched it's a gorgeous blend of red that's not too shimmering and perfect for a night out.

You don't feel the shimmers on your lips which is quite important to me. The frost isn't as intense as some frosts I've seen by MAC but it has a sheen that just adds to the effect of the shimmers when in the light.

The longevity is quite good it lasts about 4-5 hours without eating or drinking and only slight bleeding. I have the matching lipglass which really completes the look but any gloss with high shine would really do. Every time I wear this it reminds me of those delicious glossy caramel red apples.

Tips: If you don't have the matching lipglass use a clear gloss with high shine.

To die for!!

Mac's Viva Glam II has to be one of my all time favourite lipsticks. I have major issues when it comes to nude lipsticks, especially when it comes to the lightness of the lipstick but Viva Glam II is my absolute favourite nude lipstick at the moment.

It is great for people with a light to medium skintone like myself and I feel as though it would suit a wide variety of different skintones.

I believe the formula is a satin finish which has to be my favourite Mac finish. It is the perfect balance between matte and glossy and looks quite natural on the lips.

Of course, like most Mac lipsticks, the pigmentation is amazing and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new nude lippie.

Tips: If you aren't sure about the colour get the assistant to apply it to your lips so you can see it on or try out something like Milani's 'Naked' first which is a dupe at a fraction of the price.

Viva glam lippy

Super nice lipstick. Absolutely love MAC lipsticks and this one is definitely no exception. The colour payoff is incredible and the actual lipstick smells amazing which is great. They are pretty expensive but the quality is unbeatable.

Tips: Buy them online or in duty free at the airport.

Viva Glam Miley Cyrus

Guess who friend just went to the states and got me presents!!!! ZOMG!

I just got my hands on my new lipstick and I am in love. And who wouldn't love a bit of miley eh?

It is no secret that I am a MAC girl and this new lipstick looks lovely with my other babies.

This fun vibrant pink lipstick is gorgeous. It does remind me of my "Girl About Town" mac lipstick but fades better. Does that make sense? What I mean is as it comes off (which it does) the colour softens and I like it just as much if not more as it leaves a ghost like pink kiss on your lips (I should be a poet)

As with all the Viva Celeb range it was Miley's signature on it and the distinctive red and black case we all know from the Viva Glam range.

I am loving this lipstick and would highly recommend going and testing this puppy out!! I have no idea if it is out in NZ yet but go try it for yourself. Especially if you are a fan of the pink shades mac does.

You've done it again mac

Love this!

Im not really a bright color lipstick type of person, I tend to buy allot of nudes, but I figured every girl needs a red lipstick (or two) in their life

This is a lovely color, its not too drying and stay really well. I did find I needed a lip pencil to keep it tidy but still really impressed with this product

Pretty packaging and love the mac vanilla smell to their lipsticks

its a a deep red, but is still quite bright to me, love that its matte

Tips: team with a lip liner to keep the edged tidy :)
