So I finally managed to get into town today to purchase the new Viva Glam lipstick by Nicki Minaj, after first seeing the advert on the Mac website. To coincide with the release of this limited edition lipstick Rick Martin has also teamed up with Mac to create a lip conditioner. The actual lipstick is £13.50 which I would usually say is expensive but as the full RRP minus VAT goes to help those living with HIV and AIDS, (£10.25 goes to the charity from just one lipstick). I was especially excited about this Nicki Minaj shade, as I adore her make-up which is always bright, fun and Barbie like, the lipstick itself is a lovely creamy texture with a mild scent which is actually pretty nice the colour on the other hand is a really nice shade of pink which would go with most skin tones. The colour is pretty close to the lip liner in a previous post which i got from E.L.F in grapefruit, with the lipliner the colour comes out stronger and more 'pink' than without but either way the colour is vibrant,more so than in the pictures. This is actually my first purchase from MAC and I have to say this particular range is worth the money as not only do you get a lovely lipstick but you are helping those less fortunate.

If you hurry you get the lipstick from debenhams with a small discount with free delivery, or you can get it direct from mac , for the lipliner click on this link E.L.F.
