Sorryyy another lippie post xDD Next few shouldn't be lipsticks sooo a respite :) But for now another Viva Glam!
Everyone should know that MAC does a program called Viva Glam to help support people with AIDS. According to their website, "Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS."
This program started in 1994 when M·A·C introduced the original VIVA GLAM, (aka Viva Glam I) which they describe as an outspoken deep red that was universal in appeal and glamour.
matte finish
lipstick in tube
Arm swatches:
L: NYX Snow White, MAC Viva Glam I
Lip Swatches:
bare lipsapplied sheerly
2nd coat
3rd coat (applied opaquely)
This is the original matte formula which is a little more drying than their newer formulations but it's a great red brown. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the brown hue and despite the similarity in arm swatches with NYX Snow White & Viva Glam I, I find that NYX applies way more darker on my lips than Viva Glam I which I find doesn't get much darker than that 3rd coat lip swatch whereas the NYX does get darker.
If you're in the mood for a red lip, this is a great one to check out, at least due to its great cause :)
The only Viva Glam I like is the VI I already own. But it melted over the summer and now I can't use it without going in with a lip brush. Lipsticks are more hassle than they're worth. :p
