RICKY & NICKI FOR M·A·C VIVA GLAM
No, I didn’t bite. MAC sent out a special email to their subscribers for the opportunity to buy Viva Glam Nicki lipstick early by providing us with a code yesterday. What I really want is MAC Cosmetics to bring back Viva Glam Cyndi and if they do that I’ll buy a few more of those for sure. *chanting* BRING BACK CYNDI! BRING BACK CYNDY DAMNIT!
My reasons for not ordering this lipstick are simple. 1. I wasn’t happy with Pink Friday and I should have known better because I’m an NC50 in MAC Studio Fix Fluid and both lipsticks appear to be somewhat similar. Why is she bringing up Pink Friday? Last time I checked this was my blog. What! 2. There is no way I can rock Pink Friday w/o a lip liner and serious blending (I thought it would be simple to make work to still make it look like it’s original color) and I don’t want to have to do that with any lipstick, not just with Viva Glam Nicki. Pink Friday was definitely not worth it for me in the end. 3. I saw a couple of bad swatches online for Viva Glam Nicki and it looked like I would have to put in the same work I have to put into Pink Friday to make it wearable for me. Really I am over bright Barbie pink lipsticks. They describe Viva Glam Nicki as a pinky, coral.
Look, until I can get a swatch from Temptalia then I won’t be reconsidering. She should have at least had it to show us MAC…early. But whatever.
Side note…Viva Glam Gaga II is awesome MAC!
And here is the official Ricky & Nicki for MAC Viva Glam promo campaign photo…
And So It Begins…MAC Wonder Woman Collection
MAC inserted this widget into their homepage and so yeah, I’m super excited…I live for collections like these. Wonder Woman is coming to MAC on February 9…I think. I can’t remember, but around that date.
I haven’t gotten word about which products from this collection are going to be ones to hunt down and kill for, but after swatches I’ll be able to determine those items on my own. What I will be doing is putting my items on hold and it seems like I get the best results at my Bloomingdale’s counter – thankfully.
Temptalia has posted about it already so most of you MAC addicts should already know about this. I’m like how MAC hypes up the cartoon collections because it gets me, again, super excited!
Girl About Town
I’ve been wanting this lipstick called “GIRL ABOUT TOWN by MAC” for a while now so I did a Back 2 MAC for it…I love it. This lipstick reminds me of a hot fuchsia color instead of just your typical fuchsia, the finish is an Amplified Creme so it goes on opaque / true to color and I think it’s fierce. I cannot wait to wear it!
MAC Venomous Villains Bad Fairy Nail Polish (Maleficent)
I almost lost my mind when I opened up my package from Bloomingdales and only saw that I received ONE nail polish. The good thing, though, is that nail polish was the highly sought after and popular BAD FAIRY. Had it been FORMIDABLE! I would have gotten really upset. I ordered only two polishes from the Venomous Villains collection and they were Bad Fairy and Formidable. I didn’t order Mean and Green because I wasn’t feeling the swatches I saw from other bloggers and makeup enthusiasts. Instead of flipping out I grabbed my receipt and called customer service to find out that my order was split – which calmed me down. Yay!
I had originally put these all three polishes on hold at Bloomingdales, but when I went to pick up my order they were not in it. The MA had to put an online order in for me and it’s why I’m getting them in the mail. So far, again, I’ve gotten BAD FAIRY. Whew! And after the 8th I should be receiving Formidable!. I’m guessing that they had to ship separate because they were in different locations…these nail polishes flew off the shelves and from online quick. I’m happy to be getting them at all.
Today, I went to MAC to do a Back 2 MAC and the girl sasid, “Ooooh is that our polish?” And I said, “Yes indeedy, it’s Bad Fairy.” And she said, “Awww man! It’s so pretty! I wish I had gotten it, but it’s all sold out everywhere.” And she’s correct! Anyway, here is my Bad Fairy and a swatch…I wasn’t able to catch the duo chrome thing in the pictures because my cam sucks. This nail polish is has a pumpkin orange in it, a Fall leaves red and some gold in it…reminds me of Fall leaves in color when I move my hands certain ways. It’s gorgeous! I had to put two coats to on to make it opaque and I topped it off with a top coat because the formula is not all that smooth. The polish has glitter in it, but it’s not over glittery or chunky. Price: $13.00
