MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2

August 18th, 2016 by Karen 24 Comments

Hot damn, Viva Glam! Ariana Grande is back with two new Viva Glams — a $17 matte Lipstick and a $16 Lipglass — and I think they’re so freakin’ gorge…

I’m figuratively shaking in my Timberland boots.

I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about a Viva Glam. I’ve always been down to support the cause, which I think is awesomesauce, because MAC donates all of the proceeds from the Viva Glam releases to help children and families affected by HIV and AIDS, but I think the past few Viva Glam rounds have been… Well, let’s just say that they’ve been on the artsy side.

I think these two, though, are straight-up pretty. I like them even more than Ariana’s first Viva Glam back in January. They’re brighter, but I think they’re also more wearable and fun.

Doesn’t the lipstick look like candy? Or like the color of a Popsicle? Technically, it’s a cool pink, but I think it looks kinda purple on me.

It’s just so smooth and pigmented… LOVE IT.

The Lipglass reminds me of MAC Spite and made me go “Ooh!” the first time I ba-doomped it on my lips. On its own, it’s a totally wearable everyday neutral, but it’s absolute perfection layered on top of the lipstick.

Both will be available starting September 1 on the MAC website, and then in stores and counters September 8 through February 1, 2017.

What’s your favorite Viva Glam of all time? Inquiring minds want to know. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

      Hi Yelena,

      Lipglasses are very sticky, so depending on how you feel about that, it could be a pro or a con. I think it’s a pro, because the stickiness allows the gloss to hang around for a while. For me, I get a good 4 hours! Let me know if you have any other questions about the product or anything else!

    thanks Karen! I usually don’t like sticky glosses, but maybe I’ll try it in store. I’m all about that matte finish life but this color just looks too nice to pass up!

      You’re welcome. Good idea to take it for a test spin first, because the Lipglasses are something you’re either going to love or not love. The color is an absolutely spot perfect nude! While you’re their you might also want to try MAC’s Spite Lipglass, too. It’s similar to this one, but a touch more opaque.

        Hi Karen, I just got the lipstick. Which lipliner do you think would work nicely with this?

    I LOVE these on you!! Soo pretty! I wasn’t sure about these when I first saw the promo pics but… Wow. How similar is the lipstick to Girl about town? Just out of curiosity.

    I haven’t tried any of the Viva Glams except for the original Nicki. I do really like the lip gloss, but the purple lipstick looks great on you!

    I love that lipgloss on you! I have loads of viva glams, just for the donation part, but hands down the Rihanna red with a hint of gold in it is the best for me.

    I only ever tried one of the MAC Viva Glam ones, a red one, but I can´t remember which one it was.

    Oooh… thanks for the heads up on these beauties!! I’ve SO been digging the purple-y, plummy, mauve-y shades of late, and the pair of these, together or separately, look divine (plus, The Cause). All-around win! 😀

    OMG those are really pretty indeed!!! Love them on you so much, esp combined <3. It's good that I've the same skintone with you so I know kinda what it looks like. Think I've never lusted over VG since Rihanna :-D.

    Gurl, that Riri II lippie is going to be in full rotation come Fall. I pair it with the lipglass Explicit & find that this pairing works for me. So love it! I missed out on the Riri II lipglass but Explicit is a supposed close dupe. I’ve only ever bought one more Viva lippie- MAC Miley but I honestly don’t wear it that much. I’m digging this collection, though & can see myself getting a lot of use from it. Looks great on you 🙂

    I LOVE that these are so wearable! The lipstick is totally a shade I would wear daily, and it works really well with the lip glass. I’m impressed!

    I’m loving this one on you, but I don’t think it would look as good on me.

    I love the lipstick color. The gloss is pretty, though I wish it were more sparkly. It would be pretty for a low-key look by itself, though.

    At the risk of totally dating myself, I love the Via Glam V lipstick and lipglass combo. Pam Anderson killed it in that campaign and I still love both items to this day.

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
