Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass: Swatch

Since MAC Cosmetics announced Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga as the new faces of Viva Glam, I’ve been in love with the shade Viva Glam Cyndi. Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick is still in my rotation, and works well in so many situations. Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass did not disappoint. That same bright-coral shade that I love, the shiny lipglass version adds a certain playfulness to the shade, where the lipstick was a touch more glam and sophisticated.

Naturally, don’t forget that these products layer beautifully!

Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass retails for $14.50. ALL PROCEEDS from the purchase of Viva Glam products go directly to the MAC Aids Fund!

Viva Glam Gaga Lipglass: Swatch

I’ll admit, Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick didn’t really “speak” to me, but Viva Glam Gaga Lipglass is a bit more tame! Still, I’d put this gloss solidly in the “20-something” category, as the shade is youthful and a touch daring. Actually, I think the Viva Glam Gaga shade is a perfect fit for its namesake. This vivid pink with cool blue undertones stands out much in the way the artist herself does!

Jemma Kidd Make Up School Hi-Shine Hydrating Glossticks: Holders Reviews And Swatches

jemma kidd make up school glossticks review and swatch Trend alert! Fall 2010 is filled with products that look like lipstick, but are actually glosses! The latest of these hybrid lip luxuries to cross my desk is the Hi-Shine Hydrating Glosstick, by Jemma Kidd Make Up School.

Inspired by Jemma’s childhood in Barbados (lucky Jemma!) the Hi-Shine Hydrating Glosstick is available in five bouquet-bright shades: Bridgetown, Hibiscus, Sugar Cane, Holders and Paradise. The formula is moisturizing beyond belief. It’s so rich, and so emollient, it feels more like a sinfully luxe lip treatment than a lipstick! Sun worshippers should also rejoice, as this product has an SPF 15!

Beyond the fabulocity of the product itself, the packaging is also beautiful and unique. The angular cut of the lipstick (called “chisel bullet”) assists with precise and even application. The matte black tube is adorned with a glossy black grapevine design that is so beautiful, I wish I owned a matching mirrored compact! The lipstick tube locks into the lid. Once pressed in, the tube is ejected from the lid for application.
