MAC Viva Glam VI

Over the weekend, I had my first experiment with a MAC Viva Glam product and was pleasantly surprised. The MAC Viva Glam VI lipstick and lip gloss are now out in stores, with the funky Fergie as their spokeswoman.

Right below is my lips wearing the Viva Glam VI lipstick, which is described as a warm terracotta plum fusion with subtle pearl. This description is right on target, especially in person.

Below is my lips wearing the Viva Glam VI lip gloss, which is described as a warm plum with multi-reflective, multi-dimensional pearl. The lip gloss definitely is more cool and less brown than the lipstick. I like the lip gloss slightly more than the lipstick because I am partial to colors in the purple/plum range.

My only gripe with the lip gloss is that the shimmer particles tend to get all over my face if I don't wash off the gloss carefully with makeup remover when removing my makeup. Wiping with just a tissue resulting in glitter all over my face.

In all, though, both products are well suited to desi skin and make for a great everyday lip look.
