Now, my new Cyndi Lauper-esque idol is LADY GAGA! How stoked I was to hear that SHE was going to be the other spokesperson for the new Viva Glam Collection this month! Now that I have seen the ad campaign and her gorgeous shade, Viva Glam Gaga, I am even more pumped to get to my counter and purchase TWO of these lovelies...or THREE! The Gaga Shade is a BEAUTIFUL, lustre shade. It is a cool blue pink, according to the MAC website. This is the perfect pink/nude shade that would pair well with an over the top smokey eye, like Gaga herself is wearing in the ad campaign, or a sweet neutral eye for a daytime look. This is a lipstick that I would HAVE to buy two of so one could stay in my purse and one at my vanity! Hey, I may even have to get one for a giveaway prize as well! We will see!
Let's talk about packaging. I have always liked the MAC lipstick packaging. The bullet shaped, black/silver tube is extremely attractive to me. (ALL of the MAC packaging is attractive to me, tho! LOL!) So, you guessed it, the VIVA Glam packaging HAS to be my favorite! In the place of the silver on the permanant lipsticks, they use a deep red color. These tubes even have the signature of each spokeswoman on the inner portion of the tube. The only thing that would have made it better would have been them putting the signature of Cyndi Lauper & Lady Gaga on the outside in red. Now THAT would have been fantastic! But, this packaging still works for me!
Oh and for any of you guys that don't know about the MAC Viva Glam products, every last penny of your purchase goes towards the MAC AIDS Fund to help support the fight against AIDS. I don't know about you, but I am MORE than happy to purchase these lipsticks and would probably pay WAY more than $14 each for them!
Make sure to go check out the New Viva Glam Collection today! I am sure most of you won't be disappointed! Once you have explored these new colors, let me know what you think about them! Are you super pumped to get your hands on them or are they just not for you? Either answer you have, let me know why! If you all seem to love them for the most part, I may have to see about picking them up as quarterly giveaway prizes, just let me know what you think!

I would love both shades! They both look so gorgeous and I have heard good things about them.
If I wore lip sticks I so would have to go with those. They look awesome.
