Whenever a new
MAC Viva Glam comes out, I'm always interested in picking it up not just due to the celebrity association (which can be
pretty cool) but also because every cent of proceeds goes toward helping women, men, and children living with AIDS.
I got lucky thanks to a random NYC MAC store pop-in and happened to purchase the newly released
VIVA GLAM Miley Cyrus lipstick and
lipgloss set early. From the vivid hot pink shade to the heart and signature printed on the packaging, I had a feeling I'd fall hard for this one.
The
Amplified lipstick formula is creamy and opaque with a hot strawberry pink hue that I could see being flattering on a wide range of skintones. It's a touch deeper on the lips than it looks in the tube which is perfectly flattering after application.
The
Tinted Lipglass is actually more of a purple-pink with blue/pink pearl shimmer. To be honest I was equally excited for this since it reminds me of an old favorite cheap-o purple lipgloss I had in high school that I
loved and always looked for a dupe of.
Hope this was helpful for any of you thinking of picking up the new lipstick! I'm completely obsessed and I know I'll be grabbing this shade frequently for spring as my go-to hot pink lip.
If interested you can find MAC VIVA GLAM
Miley Cyrus lipstick for $16 and the
lipglass for $15 at
MAC and
Nordstrom.
