Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass, shown in the photo at the top, is a mid-tone-dirty coral. Viva Glam Gaga Lipglass, shown in the photo at the bottom, is a light blue pink. Both are limited-edition shades with the stars’ signature adorning the lipglass tube. The formula delivers super-opaque, rich, vivid color. Viva Glam Lipglass will be available for only SIX MONTHS so grab them if you’re interested! Want to see how they look on the lips? Stay tuned for future posts with swatches!

In the meanwhile, check out the super-cute makeup bags below.

Each bag is a petite 8.5″ x 5″ x 1.5″. Perfect for a few essentials, or even cute enough to use stand-alone as a wristlet! One side is a signature, and the other side is a digitized image of lips. I have to say, these new Viva Glam product additions are the chicest way to make a charitable contribution!

ALL PROCEEDS from the purchase of Viva Glam products go directly to the MAC Aids Fund!

Viva Glam Lipglass: $14.50

Viva Glam Bags: $28

Viva Glam Lipstick: $14.50

Review: Lindsay Phillips Jordi Flip Flop

April 12, 2010

Raging Rouge regulars know how smitten I am with the super-comfy, super-versatile designs of Lindsay Phillips.

Best known for her cult-favorite ”SwitchFlops” design, Linday has recently expanded her line to include the ”Jordi” flip flop for Summer 2010. Available in the super-bright colors that are so hot this season, the Jordi can be combined with 36 different snap designs to completely change the look of the shoe without ever having to change the shoe itself. It’s a traveler’s dream!

When I reviewed Linday Phillip’s Liz Ballet Flat, I couldn’t stop obsessing about how comfortable it was. Jordi is similar. The flip flop is super-flat for comfort, and made of a super squishy foamy material that feels like a mattress for your feet. The textured design on the top and bottom surface of the flip flop not only looks good, but provides additional traction when you’re wearing them poolside.

The Jordi flip flop retails for $24, and comes with a rhinestone snap. Each additional snap is $12. The Jordi is available in whole sizes only. Lindsay Phillips shoes run true-to-size, so half sizes should order the next size up!

Visit www.Lindsay-Phillips.com to check out the Jordi!

MAJOR technical difficulties on my end, friends, so pardon my mess! I assure you I am working hard to get this all cleaned up. In the meanwhile, scroll down to read my latest review!

Goddessy Cuff: The Adele Cuff Bracelet By Stella & Dot

January 10, 2010

Adele Cuff, Stella & Dot, cuff bracelet

This week’s assignment from the Shopping & Goodies team? Post about a glam cuff perfect for Spring! My passion for inexpensive, on-trend pieces has led me to this golden cuff bracelet, the “Adele” by Stella & Dot.

This 14kt gold plated bracelet infuses glam gold into your wardrobe without the increasingly-hefty pricetag (hello, gold prices at over $1,100 an ounce)!

I’ve written in the past about how markets drive trends, and my prediction still remains… the more expensive gold becomes, the more popular it will become in the world of fashion and makeup. If you don’t own any gold, it might be time to make the splurge!

Retail price is $69. This bracelet was featured in InStyle and Redbook magazine.

Click HERE to buy it from Stella & Dot!
