Rhianna Viva Glam 2

 

It has arrived Divas! If yall didn't know about this now you know. MAC and Rhianna have come together again for a Viva Glam shade. I am excited  about this mauve shade and blue-red frost gloss. The nice part about the Viva Glam collection is100% of the proceeds go towards AIDS benefits.

There it is swatched on my skin. I thought it was worth the try especially for the fall. 

 I love the packaging of this limited edition shade. I have the first one also. The velvety feel of the tube and the red color sets it apart from all the others in my collection.

Here is the gloss on top of the lipstick which gives it a slightly different look.

 Here is the packaging for the gloss. I think this gloss will also look nice even on a purple lipstick. If I test it out with a purple I will be sure to come back and let you Divas know. 

If you thought about getting this product but wasn't sure I would say stop in at a MAC store and test it for yourself. You may not feel like the shade is for you. I honestly like the color and if nothing else I bought it for a good cause. The gloss I can definitely say I will wear it with other shades in my collection for that frosty glittery look. 

If you were wondering you can still order this from MAC. The lipstick retails for $16 and the gloss $15. 

So to follow up from my post earlier this month when I let you know about the Simpsons collection  I ended up going back to get Great Pumpkin. I couldn't get it online which didn't matter because I was in Manhattan anyway. Omg it was awesome just to be done there. I originally went to Macy's on 34th street that has a MAC counter. They didn't have it but the one in Time Square (46th and Broadway which is really on the 7th ave side) had it. They had a whole lot left of the collection.

 This shade on my complexion is not to orange. It looks like a nice neutral shade on me in my opinion.

Here is it swatched on my hand. I love this collection. The one thing which I did not say in the video or in my last post was that I was disappointed they did not have lipstick for this collection. Which would have been great but all of us MAC junkies know that would have went quickly. I am glad I was able to get this one so even though there was no lipstick I still give this collection a thumbs up.

Anyway Divas till next time. Hope you found this bit of info informative and inspiring. If nothing else go out try a VIVA glam shade and support the cause. Stay fab Divas.

The Simpsons! MAC 25th Anniversary Collection.

So I posted this was coming out a while ago on my beauty page (Facebook.com/IAmAMakeupJunkieDiva). The Simpson are a huge part of pop culture and MAC chose to celebrate the one and only Marge Simpson.  I grew up watching the Simpsons and lol I still do sometime. I first heard or for better terms read about the line from other blog post and may have even heard about it during comic con. MAC did a great job creating a buzz about it. Then the text came and email. August 28th was the big day, with a in store release date of Sept 4th.

The line included 2 shadow palettes, 2 blushes, 4 lip glasses, lashes, and nail stickers. The packaging is that iconic yellow color with Marge's blue bee hive. The minute I knew it was coming out I kept watch of the site. Trust me when collections come out you have to act fast. I have missed out on a few but I definitely was not missing out on this one. The Morning of I got the email and immediately ordered two of the lip glasses and then on the 4th ordered one of the quads. Here is what I got.

I absolutely love the colors that I purchased. My quad came today. I have had the lip glasses for a little while. The quad is Marge's Extra Ingredients($44) and the lip glasses from left to right, Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy and Red Blazer($16 each). So I definite swatched them for you divas.

This is a beautiful purple shade(loving the purples so I had to have it).

Red blazer is a fushia shade( pic not the best representation).

The Quad swatches from bottome to top, Harpooned heart (pink color), Sexy PB&J (purple), Beehive Blue (blue) and Vivacious Vaccum Cleaner Bag (it looks like a dark blue almost black).

 

I have got to say MAC did a great job with this line. I love what I purchased. I can't wait to set this up in my makeup space once we move and settle in. I only wish I had purchased the pumpkin lip glass shade and one of the blushes although I am still experimenting with wearing blush. If you still have a opportunity to get this I would say get it. Can't wait to try my quad out to creat some great looks.  Anyway my lovely Divas that's all for now. Stay tuned I may just have a review coming of Rhianna2 Viva Glam lipstick and lip glass. In the meantime stay fab and put your best look forward.
