Viva Glam Nicki is a bright warm toned pink in a Satin finish. It is very neon in real life which I found hard to capture in a picture. Unlike the permanent line of MAC lipsticks which have silver and black tubes, this is housed in a pretty red and black tube with Nicki Minaj's signature on it.
I'm admittedly not crazy about this colour. I think it would look better on someone with darker skin than mine. It is something I'd be more likely to wear in the summer which might be why I felt a bit "blah" about wearing this last week. The formula of this lipstick is perfect though. It feels very comfortable on, is long lasting, and doesn't bleed.
If this weren't limited edition I don't think I'd re-purchase this shade. I like it enough to use it up though. I am however super excited for this years Viva Glam shade which is a lavender pink. You can read about it on Temptalia.
Availability: MAC Cosmetics $18
It really suits you though! The lavender pink is gorgeous, just checked your link now xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicky :) I think it just isn't very me.
DeleteIt really looks gorgeous on you, I know how "neon" it is in real life and in the words of Rupaul - girl you are makin it werk! I can see why you like the lavender one, the gloss tempts me!
ReplyDeleteLol thank you Jasmine :) It was hard to campure the "neon"-ness of this in a picture. I want the gloss as well too, it looks so perfect!
DeleteIt's quite bright, but I think it looks beautiful on you x
ReplyDeleteYeah I think I'm more of a dark lipstick fan than bright. Thanks Coco :)
DeleteHi Christine, do you have a lipstick which does not look good on you? Seriously!
ReplyDeleteThis shade looks great on you, but once again my love for nude lipsticks prevents me from even thinking about going neon like this!
Yes I do lol. Nudes usually look awful on me I wish I could wear them.
DeleteProof is in the pudding, I've yet to see it so I don't believe it ;P
DeleteBecause I've given most of them away! I'm too pale :(
DeleteI'm with the person above me ^^^^ you seriously look amazing in everything! I am excited for Nicki 2 (even though I wish they had chosen a different person as I can not stand Nicki Minaj) but either way it looks like a fun color!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Katie :) I cannot stand Nicki Minaj so I agree lol.
DeleteThat colour looks lovely on you! Thanks for the review, also I have bought some bright lipsticks from topshop recently in aide of spring! Thanks for following me on twitter! Followed you back :-)

Thanks Hamida :) Ahh I'm excited to see you post about them! I love Topshop lipsticks!
DeleteWoah, I actually think this suits you very well! I can understand why you think it would look better on darker skintone, but at the same time it would look much brighter. It's very pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annick :) Yeah I feel like it's meant to be a lighter pink but since I'm so pale it looks dark which can look a bit weird with a bright shade.
Deletelove your blog! followed :)
