MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2

MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2 Lipglass and Lipstick (coming September 1 to the MAC website and to stores and counters September 8)

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.

MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2 Lipglass and Lipstick

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.

Deep cool pink matte MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2 Lipstick

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.

Wearing MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande 2 Lipstick and Lipglass together

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.
