MAC VIVA GLAM Lipsticks Review

Viva glam V1 is the best 'my lips, but better' Shade. I never need to worry about having a mirror on me to apply it. It has a glossy finish as its a lustre.

I am a huge fan of the Viva glam lipsticks and an even bigger fan of the Lady Gaga Viva glam collection. I own all the colours and I owned the glosses too. If you are in need of the perfect nude, or a great pink I highly recommend hunting these lipsticks down!

I must start by saying I love Lady GaGa. So back in 2010 when I heard that Lady GaGa was headlining the Viva Glam campaign with Cyndi Lauper. I knew I had to have it. So I asked my parents and they got it for me for my birthday. I was super happy. I got both of them of course. I find that the Cyndi Lauper one which is a natural light red is really great for during the day and the Lady Gaga one which is more of a bright pink is better for night time going out. I love them and adore tehm and I would buy more in a heartbeat if they were still going.

It tick's nearly every box for the ideal lips sticks! Apart from the price but its worth it. Texture, colour variety and opaqueness. Every girl that loves make up has to own something of MAC. Viva Glam Lippies are one of them!

I have Viva Glam I and I love it! It's a slightly darker red with some brown undertones, but it doesn't make your teeth look yellower. It's very longlasting, and I don't find it drying at all, but then I usually apply lip balm before I put lipsticks on anyway. It's also very pigmented. It would be very good for someone who wants to wear red, but is afraid of a really bright postbox red

Every time I wear this shade it feels like I mean business. I share this lippy with my mum quite a lot and it looks beautiful on both of our skintones. I'm more of a medium/dark tone whereas she is fair/medium. I'd describe it as a deep burnt red with a matte finish. To me, it is just a really classic shade and it looks like it would suit a very wide range of skintones.

I have Viva Glam II and it is STUNNING. It's the perfect darker nude colour. It feels really comfortable on the lips and applies well. I love this lipstick, it hangs out in my handbag and I adore the red detailing.

If you are looking for a sexy deep lipstick - look no further! I found it stays on for a long time! Even while eating and drinking! It looks fabulous and it has that feel good factor knowing you are donating to a good cause!

Seeing me dithering at the lipstick selection, the lady in the Santa Monica MAC store took pity on me and asked what I was looking for. I told her I needed a nude lipstick but couldn't decide. She took me to the Viva Glam selection and showed me Viva Glam V, which I hadn't even considered. But of course, she wasmright. This lip colour can complement pink palettes, warm to peach tones, or blend nicely with beige or sandy hued make up. The lustre finish never appears brash or glittery, instead it shimmers gently. Application is easy, a single coat from the tube is covers well and lasts without feeling dry or heavy. This lipstick is very forgiving of the tiny lines around my lips that richer colours like to highlight! As with all MAC lipsticks, the fragrance of Viva Glam V is delicious. The tube is elegant and durable, with the red line and lettering that distinguish it from other MAC lipsticks.
