Hello Kinks,
Have you heard of MAC's Viva Glam collection? I had always seen the section of these lipsticks when I go into my local MAC & never thought anything special about them. I was looking at a Rihanna display that was on the side away from all the lipsticks. Pretty red velvet packaging and an even prettier red lipstick inside. One of the MAC representatives came over to me & explained to me how the Viva Glam line worked.
Did you know that the money spent on the Viva Glam Lipsticks goes to MAC Aids fund? This is what the MAC website says about their fund:
"The M·A·C AIDS Fund's mission is to serve people of all ages, all races and all sexes affected by HIV and AIDS. To partner with the bold, the visionary and the brave who confront the epidemic in countries and communities where people are most neglected, off the radar and at highest risk. Responsive, agile and alert, MAF funds innovative programs that deal directly with the most marginalized, stigmatized and under-heard victims. MAF celebrates humanity, life, creativity and individuality. Making a difference, one VIVA GLAM lipstick at a time."
How awesome is buying lipstick for a cause?

Viva Glam Rihanna Lipstick is technically a frosty red, it’s a pretty pinky red—kind of a candy apple red with little flecks of metallic red in it. It’s the type of red that looks good on virtually anyone who puts it on. I’m so NOT getting the blue based or the frost. It’s a really beautiful red with a hint of both warmer & cooler undertones depending on your skin tone. Viva Glam Rihanna is quite pigmented and a single swipe is completely opaque.
MAC Viva Glam Rihanna 2 Lipstick is quite a unique looking lipstick for Fall 2014. MAC calls Viva Glam Rihanna 2 Lipstick a warm mauve with silver frost. I see a dark-medium, ashy-taupe/brown with hints of mauve peeking through and a silver frost finish. Consistency for this lipstick is on the drier side & needs some work to get opaque. This lipstick provides about 4 hours of wear. I also find that it settles into the fine lines of my lips quickly. I wasn't happy with this lipstick at all so I gave it to my mother.
Viva Glam Rihanna 2 Lipglass is by MAC described as a cool mauve with red frost. Personally I don't see it, I see a clear, slightly gray tinted gloss with lots of purple/fuchsia micro shimmers. It pretty much just shows up like a clear-nude with lots of shimmer on my lips lips. This lipglass provides about 6 hours of wear on me and is neither hydrating nor drying.
While I didn't keep the lipstick this lip glass was way more my style. I find myself reaching for this often when I want to add a little shimmer to my lipstick or a matte color.

I've seen a lot of people say that they love these two combined but I don't know about that on myself. This color combo looks very 90's robot look. I do love that MAC took a chance with these & some people lime my Mama love the look. My next Viva Glam purchase will be Viva Glam l.
