MAC VIVA GLAM MILEY CYRUS 2:-




So for the first time I am just on time when a new product is launched in India, else I am always late in posting about it. Yes, the wait is over for me as finally Mac Viva Glam Miley 2 launched in India. The collection consists of a gloss and a lipstick. I was eyeing on both but unluckily I got to grab only one as the gloss was not launched in my nearby Mac store. 

A little info about MAC VIVA GLAM:-

Every cent of the selling price of MAC VIVA GLAM lipstick and lipglass is donated to the M.A.C AIDS Fund.





Mac Viva glam Miley Cyrus 2 lipstick is describes as a “bright orange” with matte finish. The shade is a beautiful coral orange kind of shade with red undertones. The shade is warm kind of shade which look great on fair to medium skin beauties mostly.

The texture is although matte but I found it is semi-matte kind off on my lips, which means it is non-drying on lips and so it don’t dried out the lips. The lipstick glides smoothly on lips. It is much pigmented. One or two swipe is enough to get the actual shade on lips.
 
It stays pretty six hours on my lips with slight fading after having meal. And not to forget the vanilla scent of the lipstick makes me feel tempted always. The lipstick leaves a reddish stain on my lips after fading which took lot of effort to remove.






Miley Cyrus already launched a pink kind Viva Glam lipstick before (read the review here ), and this one is the second collaboration of Mac with Miley Cyrus. I found this one is much prettier than the previous one as i personally love matte lipstick mostly.

Over in all i like these bright kind off shades as it really brighten up my face. Te red undertone of the lipstick makes it look more wearable particularly at night out. It can be pair up with light smokey eyes for any occasion. The warm kind of orangey red shade suits my yellow undertone skin nicely.
 Finally swatches and me wearing the lipstick along with a FOTD! ;)














Ending up by posting loads of comparison post of different shades of Mac lipsticks that are either similar or near about dupe of MAC MILEY CYRUS 2 lipstick.

 And at last a comparison swatches of MAC VIVA GLAM MILEY CYRUS 2 lipstick along with all of orange kind off Mac lipsticks that are present in my stash  :)

Review and swatches of Sleek Matte Lip creams in party pink and in Fandango purple:-




Hello gorgeous people…
After a long long break here I am back to blogging again with a new review and it is definitely not from Mac (LOL…:P ) . It is all from another favorite brand SLEEK MAKEUP. When it’s about eye shadow I always prefer the brand Sleek Makeup palettes and so when they launched their matte lip creams  in six different shades I was just eyeing to grab few and finally I end up buying two.

How to use:

·  Apply with precision using the applicator provided or with your finger tips evenly, layering colour and intensity as you go.
Step Two:
·  Part your lips, and gently blot using a tissue to remove any excess.





My Experience :-
 
I brought two shade “Party Pink” and “Fandango Purple”. Both the lip creams comes in a perfect transparent glass tube. The shade can be recognize from outside and thus easy to pick from stash when in hurry. Party pink is a beautiful coral red matte lip cream whereas Fandango purple is beautiful matte plum. The tube comes up with wand as applicator. The applicator is little hard on lips thus it is uncomfortable to use the wand for application. So I always prefer to use lip brush instead of that wand. Coming to the texture of Lip creams, they are total matte. They tends to dry your lips a lot. The lip cream took few minutes after application to settle down to matte. Proper exfoliation of lips is a must else it will definitely going to look patchy on your lips. And yes these lip creams are definitely not for winter so kindly avoid wearing it on winter.

Now coming to the most drawback points, if you try to over layer the lip creams on your lips after sometime it will tend to pull out like skin from your lips. And after having any food it fades away from the middle portion of the lips. And yes once you applied lip cream don’t you dare to laugh else your lips might get hurt due to over excess of drying…lol
 
Definitely it is a nice matte lip creams at this price compare to other drugstore brand at high price and matte creams are always matte and they usually tend to dry your lips so definitely you can’t complain about it too. But before you invest your money on matte lip creams think twice about the down points too. 



Party pink on my lips ;)





Party Pink on my lips here :)





Fandango Purple on my lips here :)



My personal favorite among two is Party Pink as it brighten up my face more than Fandango purple. 

Dupe alert:
Fandango purple is the exact dupe of L'Oreal Lipstick in shade Glamour fuchsia and Mac lipstick Flat out fabulous.
Whereas Party pink is a beautiful shade but had no exact dupe in my stash till now. It is closer dupe of Lime crime suedeberry velvetine on my lips :)

  So, ending up my post for today and see you soon with some new and exciting updates on my blog soon ;)

Love
Sammy!
