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!

MAC Spring Colour Forecast & Other Stuffs Part I

Haulage alert!  This is my last haul before MAC Liberty of London collection comes out.  I can’t wait for that collection to come out because I see a lot that I want for myself.

Back on topic!  Here is my MAC Spring Colour Forecast and some other stuffs haul.

Let me start off with the most exciting products I bought the day after they came out.  I’m talking about Viva Glam GaGa and Viva Glam Cyndi!  I went in knowing I was getting Cyndi, but after looking at and swatching GaGa I knew it would look good on me…NC45/50.   Both lipsticks are lustre finishes.

I am very happy with my new lipsticks although I’ve only rocked GaGa so far.  Ha! GaGa goes on sheer so you have to build it up if you want a hotter look.  I don’t do that or I’ll look like a fool. I totally missed out on the limited edition MAC Viva Glam GaGa makeup bag for $25.00, but whatever.  I’m mad ‘cuz nobody told me. 

The packaging for these products are kind of cool both having the signatures of the musicians.  Pure love!  I kept my boxes.  Price:  $14.00 each
