I'm really not a fan of Miley Cyrus at all so when I heard about the new Viva Glam release I wasn't really bothered and couldn't have cared less. That was until I SAW the release and the beautiful hot pink shade of the lipstick. I sat for a few days trying to decide whether I should splurge or not 'cause on one hand the shade is beautiful and right up my street and on the other it's got Miley Cyrus's (someone who I'm really not keen on) signature on it. I decided I'd buy it (obviously) because the money is going to the MAC AIDS Fund so it's not like I've wasted money if I don't wear it. This is the first Viva Glam lipstick I've ever purchased as I've not been a fan of any of the other shades or finishes really.
Viva Glam Miley is described as a hot pink and has an amplified finish. It's a bright fuchsia pink with slight blue undertones and applies to the lips a lot better than other amplified lippies I own from the permanent range. This shade is quite pigmented and applies opaque on one swipe to the lips. It didn't feather or bleed at all, lasted about 6 hours on me and left a pink stain as it faded. Overall I really do love this shade and although my go to finish is matte I'm very fond of this and it's amplified finish. I kinda wish I'd picked up the lipglass as well as the combination of the two look stunning but I'm not really a lipgloss girl so yano probably not a good idea. I'd definitely repurchase this shade though if it's still available when I run out 'cause it's just beautiful and I can see myself wearing this a lot.
If you want to buy a MAC lipstick without feeling guilty (we've all been there) then the Viva Glam range is the way to go. The MAC AIDS Fund benefits from every sale of a lipstick/lipglass in the Viva Glam range as every penny of the selling price goes towards helping women, men, and children who are living with and are affected by HIV/AIDS. There are currently 9 Viva Glam shades available, 2 of which are collabs with Rihanna and one Miley Cyrus. Other collaborations include names such as Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and more.
Viva Glam Miley is currently available on the MAC website and retails for £15.50.
