MAC Viva Glam Gaga II Lip Glass

I went to the mall today and I picked up some new makeup... One of the items being the new Viva Glam Gaga II Lip Glass :] I bought the lipstick a few days ago and I'm totally in love with it, so of course I needed the lipglass to wear over it :] The lipglass is also a gorgeous light to medium nude... very neutral... and like most MAC lipglasses, has a very small amount of micro-shimmer running through it, which is unnoticeable when on the lips. What I love most about this particular lipglass is it's PIGMENTATION!!!! Finally a lipglass that can stand on it's own :] In the past I've been kinda disappointed by so many lipglasses that look so gorgeous on the tube but show up as a clear gloss on the lips!!! VVG2LG is a really pretty creamy kind of nude that adds dimension to the lips... I've been trying to stay away from the washed out/zombie lip look lately, and this stuff helps mute the lips a bit and adds a gorgeous sheen to the lips... And OF COURSE it looks great with a smokey eye :] Okay I've babbled on long enough about this stuff. Let me know what YOU think of it :] Is it JUST another nude? Is it too dark or too light for your skin-tone? Do you feel like this stuff washes you out?

MAC's Viva Glam Gaga II Lipstick

I went to the mall yesterday and when I was at Nordstrom OF COURSE I had to go check out the new Viva Glam Gaga II Lipstick because I had seen swatches of it online and I KNEW that I'd love it. I DID. OMG. This is TOTALLY my favorite lipstick right now :] It's SUCH a gorgeous nude for my skintone... Viva Glam Gaga II is described as a light neutral pinked beige. I feel as though it's more of a medium nude though, with subtle peach undertones.  Seriously I feel like it's the nude lipstick I've been waiting for for all of these years. I know it looks a lot like many of MAC's other nude lipsticks, but this one just seems to be perfect... And the formula is Amplified so it's super-pigmented.... I don't have to build this stuff up like lots of other lipsticks. The texture of this lipstick is super creamy and moisturizing... I seriously can't say enough about VGGG2 :] And of course I love the fact that 100% of the proceeds of MAC's Viva Glam products are donated to funding for AIDS research. I recommend this to anyone that likes warm-medium beige nude lipsticks... Anyone that wants to help fund AIDS research, and anyone that loves Lady Gaga<333 I'm probably gonna go back to the mall later on a pick up a few more of these :]
