Happy Monday everyone, let’s do some lipstick swatches! Hurrah! I have both items from Viva Glam Rihanna, a lipstick and a tinted lipglass.
Oooh, innit gorgeous? These two have the same sort of soft touch rubbery-velvety packaging as the Temperature rising collection from summer 2013 and they are just lovely. Viva Glam lipsticks normally have a little red band on them, so I like that they kept a red colour to the packaging. Riri fans will like the addition of her signature on the bottle of the lipglass and the twist-up part of the lipstick.
Viva Glam Rihanna Tinted Lipglass. What a gorgeous finish on this one!
Viva Glam Rihanna lipstick. This is a Frost finish and has a gorgeous strawberry tone to it.

Aren’t they lovely? I think I may actually prefer the lipglass slightly out of the two, but they’re both so pretty and girly. I’m glad MAC is finishing up their run of products with Rihanna with a Viva Glam collection. I’m a huge fan of Viva Glam, and I’m glad to see them bringing back some colours that are more likely to suit a huge range of skintones (*cough all the VG Nicki and VG Gagas*), which the permanent line of VG colours are supposed to. It’s worth noting that in the promo pictures, Rihanna is wearing Brick lipliner blended into the lipstuck, so the look in the promos is a little different – there’s a face chart and instructions on the MAC site. I’ll have to try the look soon as it’s gorgeous
The lipstick costs £15 and the tinted lipglass costs £14, with all proceeds going to help men, women and children living with HIV and AIDs. Yes, these are dupeable colours, but as it’s for charity you’ll get no suggestions from me! It is a limited edition collection, but I believe it’s sticking around for the year, so you’ve plenty of time to go and get it!
Have you picked this up?What’s your favourite Viva Glam Lipstick?
I love this lippy so much more than I expected too, I really want the lipglass too I am glad there is some time to pick it up
ReplyDeleteARGH I hate how in the MAC viva glam photo promos they never just show the lipstick! It is rather misleading in my opinion. I agree with you about some of the recent Viva Glam shades, I could not even remotely pull off hardly any of them. Lame! These are quite nice and I think they will look good on lots of people. Apparently the frosted lip trend is here to stay!
