I'm sure a few of you ladies got the MAC email in your inboxes to be one of the first to grab the new un-released Viva Glam Nicki. Being the sucker I am (yes I freely admit this) I purchased it. 
The promo picture of the lipstick is a bit deceiving if you ask me. It leans towards a more pale pink. The actual lipstick is really bright and no where near the shade Pink Friday. Both are Satin finishes, which I'm guessing is Nicki's favorite finish? As many of you know, I don't particularly care for Satin finishes. They accentuate and enhance every flaw on your lips and can apply unevenly.
I do enjoy the color. It's very, VERY bright. I see this color working lovely with medium to dark skin tones. Be warned, due to the yellow undertones, it can make teeth look a little yellow.
In the end, unless you need this color in your collection or are an avid Nicki Minaj fan, this isn't a must-have.
its so great! It's really similar to Rose hip by Milani :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice shade!!! If you have a chance, please visit/follow my fashion blog. It will mean the world to me if you did. Thank you so much in advance!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the swatch! Would you know how it compares to Viva Glam Gaga and Chatterbox?. I'd love to see a swatch comparison if it's possible! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! It's VERY deceiving from the picture! It looks very nice nonetheless. I have one lipstick from this collection (last year) and I love it! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer the Viva Glam colour over the Pink Friday! Looks more wearable, even if it is a neon pink, haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the procedure worked for our kitty. It's always so sad to lose a beloved pet.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I loved your comment about "breaking" the mood.
Happy anniversary again!
