Indian, NC40-42, dark brown eyes, black hair, for reference. I love anything Viva Glam. That being said, the reviewer below who used the words 'trashy Barbie' really made me laugh. I hate to say it but that's how this cool toned milky light pink looks on me! I really cannot wear it alone, but I will definitely use it up. I think for me it will do best to tone down or add dimension to darker pink/purple lipsticks (i.e., Tarina Tarantino's Candy Jar, Victoria's Secret 'Perfect Kiss.'

Smallest tube of lipgloss I own! I couldn't believe it was so pricey for such a small amount. But anyway, the color is pretty and it lasts a long time on my lips b/c it's really thick and pigmented. Not my absolute fave gloss ever, but I'll use it up!

I am completely obsessed with this color. I wore it to my cousins wedding with purple toned eye makeup and I wanted to use a color on my lips that would make my eyes pop and this color really did the trick. I must say this color looks better on people who have more of a pink color pigments on their skin. It glides on really nicely and yes it's a bit sticky so it can get gross after a while... But it doesn't matter because the color is gorgeous!!

STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT A NATURAL LOOK

I'm disappointed with this color. I've purchased Mac's lipglass before and I thought this was a shade that would be compatible with my fair skin and natural blonde/golden hair but NO. This looks way to barbie doll trashy to wear. Does not look natural. I rushed and bought this without trying on, and I regret that!

I do think this would look lovely on a cool toned woman with darker hair and smokey eye. Just not for my coloring.

I absolutely adore this lip gloss! It makes a statement but it's not too over the top. It looks gorgeous with a smoky eye or neutral make up. Describing the color is a bit of a challenge- it's definitely pink, but I think there's a bit of a lilac undertone in there. It's very subtle. What makes me love this product even more is that all of the money spent on it goes straight to charity!

The color is obviouvsly gorgeous.Lipglasses arn't really my thing they are sticky which makes them stay and hold longer but, i have long hair and it always gets stuck when I wear lipglass. This is the only lipglass I own now because of the color!

i had been searching for this when it first came out to the mac counters this past spring but they were all sold out :( so i missed my chance to buy it. i forgot about it till i went to the cosmetics store and they had it. i like it a lot--but then again, this is my signature color. it may not work with every skintone. i am tan/olive and i think it looks great on me. its pinkish with blue undertones. i think it would also look better layered over a similiar toned lipstick for more wearibility and longevity. overall i was happy with this purchase!!

I bought this lipglass at a CCO for 10.25$ I wasn't gonna pay full price for this since you can't back to mac these. Anywho this is a bright pink with definite purple undertones. So it may look a little 60's. On my fair skin I find it too bright to wear everyday but if I'm doing just mascara, I can definetly pull off a bright lip with this. Now, I loveeeeeee the smell of mac lipglasses as they smell like vanilla. At first I thought I liked the thickness of this gloss but now not as much of a fan because I find it sinks into all the cracks of my lips so just don't over do it. I love the sponge tip applicator because it gives a nice even application. Overall I don't think I would have to repurchase this as I probably only use it about 1 a month

I will start out by saying Shamrocked *hearts* Gaga. Shamrocked *hearts* mac lipglasses. Thus the result of a beauty equation of MAC + Gaga was Shamrocked = Squee!!!!


I opted for the pink tone of the two shades and could not put it on fast enough when it arrived.


The very first thing I thought is.... "Holy cow batman, lemme go exfoliate my lips." Now I don't walk around with cracked or 'bad/dry' lips, but this sucker will pick up ANY slight issue your pucker might have. It's very VERY light and pretty pigmented, pretty opaque. And it's LIGHT... did I mention it's light? I'm NC 20 and it 'almost' makes me look like I have chalky zombie lips. That said, I can't imagine it looking well on anything darker than a NC20... it's just too pigmented and too light


I'm thinking this work best if you use a heavy smokey eye or if you're shooting for the 'mod 60s sex kitten' look. If you don't put "something else" heavy handed you're going to end up looking super washed out.


It's not going to be a 'go to' color or everyday grab and go shade... it's a definite 'look' (and not one I could see wanting every day). But it's "fun", and it's a mac lipglass (which means great formula - not too thin or greasy, not too thick and gummy, no bad scents etc) so it gets 3 lippies.


There are definitely 'worse' lipglasses, but alas - there are definitely BETTER ones too. Use it on fun days for specific looks (after doing a massive exfoliation!), but thats about it, no grail here.

Perfect cool toned pink! A very light, milky baby pink. I like to wear this over MAC's lipstick in Angel. So pretty!!

Over all I love this product. Of course it is limited addition and not all CCO stores carry this product so i cannot buy again without swapping. I really love this lipglass but i find one flaw and the solution to the flaw... It seems if you have have not perfect lips or chapped lips (like me! ) when you put the gloss on i guess the brightness of the gloss brings out the chappedness. I know mostly all glosses do this but this one in particular. To fix this i find it simplest to put a few coats of clear chapped stick ( wouldnt want to ruin your viva glam applicator with a red chapped stick!!! ) on before applying the gloss... when i do this the gloss also doesnt feel as sticky!!

Hope my review helped!!

This gloss did not look good on me..it actually made my lips look dead and pale but in a bad way..this color looks amazing on a co worker of mine, but she daid she mixes it with MUFE aqua cream in pink on her lips..then apply this color..i will try it over a darker color...or maybe just swap it.

Having NW20 skin I was worried this lipglass would wash me out but it really doesn't! It gives a beautiful pop of pink that lasts a long time. Smells great, packaging is cute, I wish it was permanent!

This lipglass is beautiful whether you use it with the lipstick or not. This is the perfect pink colour with blue undertones to keep your teeth looking white! It's not too sticky and lasts perfectly on the lips. But what I do find with all mac lip products is that they leave a white residue of skin on the lips making them look dry and crusty - stlight disappointing but I can cope.

Loveee this!! I have beem eyeing this for a while and finally got it just recently. The colour is a bright milky-pink with blue undertones. I like that this gloss isn't sticky or runny and is a great colour for everyday yet still super buildable for a brighter look. I think that this colour would suit most people and is more practical than the Viva Glam Gaga 2. This also smells sooo good!! I don't know how to describe it but it's just a faint sweet scent. Total must-have!!

I would like to point out first that I put 5 for the price as in Australia we pay $34 for it.....

On to my review....

I was surprised by the intense pink colour of this lipgloss, I don't know why as it's pretty obvious what the colour is from the bottle. I wouldn't buy it again only because it's too think and sticky for me :(
Beautiful colour though....
