MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass
MAC Viva Glam Lipglass — Cyndi & Gaga
Coming at you on September 2nd, MAC will launch corresponding lipglasses to February’s roll out of Viva Glam Cyndi and Gaga Lipsticks. Like the lipsticks, the lipglasses are only around for a limited time (six months) — both the lipsticks and lipglasses will be available until February 2011.
Just like the same-named lipsticks, Cyndi is a coral with very subtle white micro-shimmer, while Gaga is a light pink with blue undertones and nearly imperceptible white micro-shimmer. Surprisingly, Gaga [lipglass] seems more wearable than its lipstick counterpart–it’s not as cool or blue toned, so its more flattering across skin tones. Cyndi feels like there’s just a little less red to it–maybe a touch more coral, more orange, but certainly feels at least a smidgen brighter. Both glosses are incredibly opaque for a gloss, which is nice–but they can, of course, be worn sheerly by simply using less. It doesn’t take more than two or three swipes (depending on how big your lips are!) for a nice, opaque look.
When you’re looking for a lipstick/lipglass, Viva Glam is always a good way to go!

hey, do you know a dupe for cyndi&gaga lipstick&glosses thaks! they look amazing on you!
Cyndi looks really good on you! :) I got the Gaga one cause I'm more into pinks and I LOVE it! Do you know of any dupes for this Christine?
Revlon has a lilac close that is similar - a bit less pink, though.
Hi: In the last pic, did you put Cyndi lipstick and lipglass, or just lipglass?, cause I can't buy both..
Just the lipglass.
Viva Glam Cyndi is my favourite lipstick, but the Lipglass looks way more orange... nevertheless I bought the Lipglass yesterday... The moeny goes to a good cause and it looks good on you so it'll suit me too
I LOVE the Cyndi lipstick and lipglass, they are just gorgeous! Unfortunately though the Gaga lipstick and lipglass, don't really look that good on me.
They kind of look like Coral Reef and Lilac Pastelle from Revlon.
i have the lipstick and lipglass both in gaga but that cyndi gloss looks gorgeous on you . i want it!
im in NC42 and im wondering if gaga would look too pale for me? or is it ok?
I think you could rock it!
I just ordered mine online last night. I'm super excited to get them!
Wow, I really had my heart set on getting Gaga but now I see Cyndi swatched on you and it looks amazing! Gaga is a lot lighter than I had anticipated and Cyndi was a lot less red.
Looks good I do like the lipsticks BUT are there any dupes for these? Ive seen a lot of pink lipglosses so is this special?
Gaga is probably more dupeable than Cyndi, though nothing sticks out in mind.
I lovveeee it!!!
I love my Cyndi lipstick and I wish it was available until the end of my life. I must buy some backups and purchase a lipglass too! Thanks for letting me know about this release, you are a star:-)
How does CYNDI compare to FOLD N TUCK lipglass?
Here is Fold and Tuck: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-pret-a-papier-collection-lipglasses-review-photos-swatches More more orange!
Oh wow i love both of these especially gaga, cindy looks fab on you though! just wondering do you know when these will be out in the uk? i cant find details of the launch date here anywhere!
Should be in October!
Cyndi looks gorgeous, will be getting it =) Although maybe you can wear the Cyndi lipstick and add some sort of gloss over it for a similar effect? Maybe the gloss is a bit lighter...so pretty...
GAGA AND CYNDI LIPGLASSES ON MACYS WEBSITE!
OMG. Cyndi looks absolutely gorgeous! Cannot wait to get my hands on it! :)
OH MY GODDDDDD!!!!! im totally gonna buy 2 of each!!! and you are so amazing christine, as always :)
I believe that Viva Glam Lipglass will be a great addition to the V/G collection! I have 67 female employees in South America, In the fashion industry they love the Gaga lipstick the gloss will be a great stocking stuffer! Rolando
Cyndi! So pretty! I already have the lipstick but now I need this.
wow...i have the cyndi lipstick..and the cyndi lipgloss seems gorgeous!! p.s...the gaga doesn't look good on you..:(
I actually like Gaga on me, so I'm sad you don't think it looks good on me!
haha I luv cyndi l/g, but the l/s did not look good on me...I LUV gaga l/s..but I am not feelin the l/g...lol
love the packing and cyndi's lipglass!!! have to try it on me, though it was going to be brighter
Cyndi is my favorite lipstick. I cannot wait to get a hold of the gloss. It looks beautiful on you. I'm not as convinced about the Gaga gloss. I will have to wait to see it in person.
Cyndi is the PERFECT colour! I´ve been looking very long for a lipgloss in this shade, does it have shimmer in it ?
Yes, it does!
I love Gaga lipstick! From your swatches, I think I prefer Cyndi lipglass. It looks really pretty.
Cyndi reminds me of Revlon Coral Reef! It looks lovely :)
I like both =) But I have to agree with everyone Cyndi looks great on your lips, I wasn't planning on getting it, until I saw your lip swatch. The Gaga one I will pair it with other lip colors so it will be a bit more wearable for me, I do like it a lot as is too.
Thanks, Sia!
really loving how cyndi looks on u christine. but i hate lipgloss.. i might give it a try though it looks so good and reading through the comments, i bet it will sell out in a flash!! i always wear nude lipsticks so this will b a change. i have gaga lipstick but dont love it. Can u return viva glam items? i would never since its for aids but just curious
I think you can!
How do each of these look over their matching lipsticks? Does it bring the colors out more?
Yep, I'd say they enhance the colors -- Cyndi would lighten it just a touch!
i loove both colors but cyndi looks gorg on you!
Thanks, Rebecca!
wow i like the cyndi gloss. i loved the lipstick too but i held back. too many items on the wish list tho...hopefully something will just 'remove itself' when i swatch in store?!
WOW!! The Cyndi one looks hot hot hot!
Can't wait. I plan on getting both. I have both lipsticks to support AIDS research which touched my family back in the early 90's when we lost my sister so, even though the colors are not too wearable on my NW45 skin, I still love the colors and wanted to support the cause.
So sorry to hear about your sister :(
I think I will get Cindy, blue tones rlly dont go wit me
Wow, I have been waiting for this forever for GAGA, but after seeing it on you I don't think I'm going to get it! It looks nothing like the lipstick. It's much whiter :-( I feel like in the tube it looks just like English Accents from LOL, but it doesn't translate onto the lips....I'm sad!
