MAC VIVA GLAM Lipsticks Review

Aside from the packaging everything else about the Viva Glam edition lipsticks is the same as the regular MAC lipsticks.

Shade: Viva Glam I

The packaging is the selling point for me on this one, the outer casing is the same black but the inside barrel is red and the MAC logo wording is red on the outer casing. Other than that this is exactly the same as the original MAC lipsticks, with their long lasting colour, smooth creamy application and faint vanilla scent.

Viva Glam I – Brown side of red almost a maroon colour that is intense on the lips, in a matte finish

No feathering or bleeding without a liner and it isn’t drying like some matte lipsticks. I’m a fan of the matte finish and so was really impressed with MAC’s matte formula for giving that full lip, intense bold colour but not sacrificing on the hydration of your lips which I think comes from the fact that when applying this lipstick it is in a creamy state that dries to the matte. The only downside is that these can be a little too creamy making them easily melt able in prolonged sun & heat exposure so take care to store out of these direct sources.

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!
