Review: MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick

Hello my lovelies!

Now I know this lipstick has appeared on pretty much every beauty blog around recently, but I was so won over by the swatches that I placed an order earlier this week and am absolutely in love with it.




I like that it's a yellow-based pink as blue pinks don't suit my skin tone, and it reminds me of my favourite pink shade, Impassioned. It's just so nice to be able to wear bright colours again to coincide with spring on the way! 


One layer of lipstick.

Two layers of lipstick applied.
I find it swatches as a coral-pink, but once on the lips it's an extremely bright proper pink! I tend to apply, then blot, then apply another layer and blot to help it last. It lasted me a good four-five hours yesterday at work and works nicely as a stain as well. It also goes perfectly with the Chanel nail varnish I bought last week!

The best thing? The proceeds go to charity, helping those affected by HIV and AIDS. 

What are your thoughts on Viva Glam Nicki? Yay or nay?

xoxo



Mac Viva Glam Nicki can be purchased for £13.50 here or at Debenhams.

  3. That lipstick is so pretty ! I wish I had a local MAC or that MAC actually delivered to where I live ! I'd buy it in a jiffy. It's going to look so pretty for a S/S lipstick !

  4. Ah this is a lovely colour on you - so pretty!
    I don't own any MAC lipsticks (I think I only own one MAC makeup item actually) because they're just a bit too pricey, but I suppose the Viva Glam ones are a good place to start since you're giving money to charity that way.
    Hope you're well my dear! I've been so rubbish on the blogging/commenting front lately! x
