★★★★ out of 5
Price: $17
It was time to invest in a quality lipstick. I wanted to get a nice mauve/pink lipstick that gave my lips a subtle pop of color for the fall. I was in between Viva Glam V and Amorous but decided to go with Viva Glam V because it's one of their most popular colors and 100% of the proceeds go towards MAC's AIDS fund.
Where to buy it?
I bought it at Mac Cosmetics.
MAC claims: A long-wearing, smudge-proof gel eyeliner pencil in intensely pigmented matte shades. This luscious pencil features a creamy gel formula that glides on for a modern matte finish. The waterproof formula will never smudge or fade. It is formulated without parabens.
Pros:
- 100% of proceeds go towards MAC's AIDS fund
- Good pigmentation
- Beautiful color
- Decent moisturization
Cons:
- Not as long-lasting
Bottomline: I would definitely repurchase if I ever ran out of it because, first it's going towards a good cause, and lastly, it has color and shimmer without it overpowering the rest of my makeup/face. Since it's part of the "lustre" collection at MAC, it has a bit of shimmer. It comes off rather luxurious because the "glitter" is quite fine and, therefore, glides one smoothly and leaves a "pearly" finish. I have pretty dry lips and it keeps my lips pretty moisturized. I took off one star because I wish it stayed longer on my lips (but maybe it came off because I constantly eat throughout the day).
