I've avoided MAC pretty well for a few months and although I did hit up the CCO in York last week (oops) I couldn't resist getting my hands on the NEW Viva Glam Nicki Minaj lippie when they sent me a code to get it ahead of its official launch! For those wondering all I did was register on the site some time ago and since I'm now on their mailing list I got the code. Nothing special, anyone can do it!
I was toying with waiting until it's release to post this but they've added a 'notify me' widget here so if you are desperate to know when it goes on sale you can sign up for that there!
Anyway.. you wanted to know about the lipstick, right?
It's described as a bright yellow pink. It's basically a candy pink that on me looks almost neon. I've seen it swatched and worn on so many different people online and in my opinion.. mine is not the target skin tone. It's not the most flattering pink I've ever worn but it's so pretty I'm sure I'll find a way to wear it!
The finish is satin which I find can be a touch drying but in return you get more staying power. On me a satin finish will last an hour or so before reapplying. Overall its a lovely colour, nice formula and as always I will be happy to add it to my rows of identical bullet shaped MAC lipsticks.
The lipstick retails for £13.50
I have no info on the clear lip conditioner that Ricky Martin is endorsing for this years campaign but how interested are you in a colourless limited edition product anyway?

very Nice, very bright but I bet will look nice with your Vegas Tan!
ReplyDeleteI'm really in two minds as to whether or not I really WANT to tan in vegas. Normally I'm a total sun worshipper but now..
Delete2 problems..
1. sun damage and premature ageing.. obviously a concern
2. TAN LINES!! I HATE tan lines lol
to be honest I used to tan too but i have the exact same concerns! especially the aging! embrace your pale x
DeleteThanks for the swatch, this lippie seems to look different on everybody! :S x
ReplyDeleteif you see it on kelly osbourne (also pale) at the launch it looks really good on her but me.. mmm... not so much :(
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the NYX matte lip cream in Antwerp!

I ordered this in presale too, had it sent to my home address though as I didn't trust it being delivered to my uni halls (too precious)!
ReplyDeleteMum's posted it up to me so can't wait to receive it looks lovely!!!

Hm, really not sure what I think of this one! Colour looks so pretty, but think I'd need to be significantly more tanned than my usual Mortitia Addams look to pull it off! Maybe after some Fake Bake! Looks cute on though....

ReplyDeletewow, its a lovely colour! I dont like how it looks on the lipstick, but when you wear it, it looks great. Will check it out. Is the CCO worth going to? I really want to go but my friend told me they only had the type of products that no one buys xx
