Viva Glam Gaga II Lipstick

Just wanted to share my love for Viva Glam Gaga II!! The color is a bit interesting, and I've heard a lot of people can't pull it off, but with my NW20 complexion, I think it is pretty fun!!

And a silly "glamour" shot for ya!

Here it is compared to 'Fleshpot' that I had in my purse the day I got this lipstick:

Based on other reviews I've seen on the internet, it seems like this lipstick is one you will definitely need to try on in person; However, I am certain that fairer chicas like me will find it pretty flattering. 

What do you think of VG Gaga II? 

To Back-Up or not to Back-Up?- That is the Question!

When it comes to backing up makeup products, it seems most of us are either avid backer-uppers, or adamantly refuse to do so. Then, there are people like me, who will backup occasionally, and selectively.

So, what are my back-ups? Keep reading to find out!

Review: MAC Viva Glam Cyndi & Gaga

Once again, a late review, but as my favorite saying goes, better late than never, right? :)

I snagged these lipsticks last week, and they are really fun! I'm not surprised that they're already selling out.

Viva Glam Gaga

VG Gaga was the color that first drew my attention. I'm a big Gaga fan; I love her crazy outfits, her fresh and fun music, and all her wacky accessories (hello hair bow!). So it was only natural that I'd be drawn to this lipstick (good job, MAC marketing dept!). 

I am always looking for the perfect light pink lipstick. Well, this isn't it exactly; my dream pink would be like Underage l/g, but in a lipstick form. But, it's still a pretty awesome color! Viva Glam Gaga is a playful pink that can be applied heavily for great color payoff, or easily sheered out for a soft touch of pink. I have been dabbing Fleshpot l/s on my lips and then VG Gaga on top to bring out the true color of this lipstick. I definitely prefer this pink over Snob l/s.

Viva Glam Cyndi

At first glance, this color appears to be a burnt dark red. However, when you actually apply it, it is a beautiful watermelon red. It is a lustre, so it's by no means an intense color, and it's much more forgiving when applying. I think it will also look on all skintones.

So, what do you think about the new Viva Glam lippies?
