OMG… I NEED I NEED!!!
Jeffree star the musician already has this and it’s a really pretty color hahah
Pretty, and I appreciate Viva Glam’s charitable aspects, but I think it looks similar to some of the past Viva Glams and doesn’t particulary says Lady Gaga to me.
I think it’s really Gaga, there are several instances on the red carpet where she wears a gorgeous nude.
However, I do agree that it’s not a particularly unique colour.
The colour might seem similar to previous ones but is a light warm beige and not a pale pink beige like VG2 or a neutral brown pink like VG5. The texture is also amplified wich means more moistre as well as colour pay off. The previous two mentioned above were a wash of buildable colour or a matte colour. So this new deliscious shade offers a different tone as well as texture more more to enjoy.
Its actually a very unique color. There is nothing else like it in the Viva Glam line. I have seen it in person, it is very pretty and totally different. Plus, it’s an amplified finish… making it the first amplified shade in of all the VG’s,
I respectfully disagree. I too, have seen this in person and it is nothing like any of the other colors in the VG line. It is a true beige neutral. The other colors that come anywhere near being a nude is VG II which is almost a grey-undertoned pink, VG V which is sheer with shimmer and VG Gaga I…blue-based nude pink. I don’t think everyone will be able to pull it off though but it is nice to see a true nude in the VG line.
Ooooh. Pretty. I can use a new nude lipstick & gloss. Can’t wait to buy both!!!!!!
No thanks, the corpse-look isn’t really for me. Might be good on someone darker though.
Oooh, I think I love it already!
Can’t wait, thanks Christine 🙂
I’m so excited she’s orking with Viva Glam again, I can’t wait for this to come out!
ooooo man!!!! I realllyyyy love this lipstick!!! I still need to get at least one back up of the frist one but ill probably get a couple of these!!! This color is right up my alley!!!
What formula is the lipstick??
Please read the post – these are preliminary details and as I have more information, I will update. Thank you!
I read somewhere that it is an Amplified Creme. I really hope so, Amplified Cremes are the best!
I love them, I just don’t like the prices… why is MAC making all the collections now with higher prices? and I know some products are bigger than normal, but the regular size comes with enough product already!!
These arent higher prices.. the lipstick and lipglass are the same price as the normal products.. lol
I don’t think I would ever mind the prices on these as 100% goes to charity. I think of it as a charitable donation in which I get an awesome lipstick as thanks (rather than the typical reusable grocery bag or pen, lol)
Does this mean they will be discontinuing the bright pink Viva Glam Gaga? 🙁
It was always limited life – 12 months and that’s it!
If even! I haven’t been able to purchase Viva Glam Cyndi since before December 2010. The bloody web site AND stores have been sold out for months now. I wasn’t too impressed because I expected them to still have them in stock until their stopsell date of February 2011. RAAAAAAAGE.
MAC/CAROLINA PLACE BELK IN PINEVILLE, NC HAS GAGA IN LIPSTICK AND LIPGLASS 704-543-5427.
O-M-G im…. so…. excited!!!!!
Absolutely. Positively. MUST HAVE!!!
honestly, I’m really excited for this. I love viva glam gaga but am hoping this will be a midge more wearable for everyday use.
the lipstick she is wearing doesn’t look like nude!!:D:D
neither like the colour on the tube!
Judging from the pictures that shade of nude is going to completely wash me out.
Any idea what eyeshadow shade she’s wearing?
I’ve seen a vague lipswatch & it looks pretty but I’m not sure if I can pull it off! A true Gaga color, though.
oh wow! this launches so soon! that makes me even more excited for it!
Sooooooo getting this I love me some GaGa :0
OMG this looks just like MAC’s Fresh Brew but with an orange undertone…I was expecting something a little more “GAGA” this nude is too similar to Fresh Brew #MACFAIL
An ‘Orange Fresh Brew’ sounds hot to me though. Because Fresh Brew always did have a bit of a very cold, grayish cast to it without lip pencil.
YAY!!! I can’t wait for it to come out!!
I cant wait I want it soooo bad
Would it make NC25-30 look washed out or a perfect nude? Or is Viva Glam V better?
this kinda looks like viva glam 2, which i already have. but even if it does, i might still end up getting it because it’s for a good cause. AND you can never have too many nude lipsticks.
I really hope this is workable… I really want to like it but some shades of nude can look harsh next to my skin :\
I received this lipstick in my gratis 🙂 It is an amplified creme and it’s a little more yellow than what the picture shows.
Really?! I was literally just praying it would be an Amplified and not a Lustre. Hooray!
oh, I have to try if it works on my lips 🙂 nice colour!
this lipstick looks amazing! i was going to get the heroine lipstick from the wonder woman collection but it seemed just a little TOO bronze for my taste. but this, looks like it would be my color!
too dark for me to use it as a nude 🙁
Very pretty ! Hope this’ll come to France pretty fast ! *o*
It reminds me of the color of band-aids! But I kind of like it!
sweet jesus, I NEED this!
im gonna buy like 50 of each! 🙂
I love Gaga’s eyes in the promo shot, I really wanna try pull that off. I might pick the lipglass up depends on what its like up close and personal.
This will either look really great or really awful on me, but that’s kinda how nudes are. I’ll have to try it on.
Noooo this is so boring color and so not Gaga!;-( Old Lady Gaga lipstick was so much better, I’ll have to purchase a baxkup of it
DAYUMMM IM EXCITED! THIS IS MORE EXCITING THAN THE LAST ONE CUZ I LIKE NUDES WAAAAY BETTER THAN THOSE PINKS CUZ THEY LOOK BAD ON MY SKINTONE 😀
Its cool that this Lipstick/lipglass is synonymous with her upcoming album which will have more of a soulful and angelic feel to it. So it is totally lady gaga.
Oh, man. I think I might want this.
If the swatches are good, I might get both! I’m in need of a good nude. And when you combine that with Gaga and a good cause, it’s almost impossible for me to resist!
The profits are for helping people with HIV,women who got the virus after being raped,children,men so…Like it or not on my lips i will buy it.Even as a gift to someone.
At first glance it looks too yellow for me, but since I am of Gaga’s complexion maybe it will work? Will have to see it up close to decide.
ahhh great!
Christine, is it the same “Viva Glam II” color? It looks like!
I wouldn’t know, since I have not seen these in person, sorry!
No,it’s not the same as VG II.It’s a colour, more nude, none yellow! Never done before.It looks great with any lipglass on top and lip pencil!
Yes I think so… I just bought Viva Glam II today and it looks identical to this!
Does this mean I only have until Feb. 17 to get a back up of the VG Cyndi?
February 2nd
I think I need both of these, and I also need to get gaga’s first one. It’s a great cause and I love pinks, but I NEEEED good nude lol
So far I’m 0 for 2 with the Gaga lipsticks and glosses which is too bad because I like to support Viva Glam. I just don’t like pale pinks and tan nude colors at all.
Absolutely loving this lipstick and lipgloss. I’m an NC50 in MAC and these will be the perfect nudes for me. I’m definitely going to have to buy backups.
do you think so? I’m the same shade as you
I’m so excited for the new Viva Glam Gaga II. Both look so pretty! Can’t wait to get them.
wow.. i’m in shock! haha i need that!
i love gaga! i cant wait to find out what finish the lipstick is. thanks so much christine!
I def have to try before I buy.
how close is this to Viva Glam V?
I’m not a big nude lipstick fan. I have the Faerie Glen from the Tartan Tale and though I love the name, the color looks blah on me. I may still pick this one up cause it looks so beautiful & it’s for a great cause. I do with if it were a true Gaga color it would have been more outrageous color like deep mauve or some sort of purpley color. Maybe even a nice smokey gray shade…yes I would buy one if it’s pigmented just right.
Looks like the perfect nude.
OHHH-EMMMM-GEEEE!!! I am loving that nude color. I have been in search of the perfect nude for over a year and this might be it. I cant wait!!!
Is this anything like jullibee?? I love that color.
SO EXCITED. saw a photo of jeffree star wearing this and holding it up in a photo, i knew Lady Gaga was going to do another lipstick but i didnt know if it was fake or not :p SOO HAPPY! cant wait to buy this!
Gah! Between the Wonder Woman for MAC, and now these, I’m going to have all new lipsticks/lipglosses for spring!
I love the pink one way better than this. 🙁
Can’t stand Lady GAGA, completely overrated IMO, but I really like the colors on both the lipstick and lipglass.
it’s pretty but I’ll probably pass…
Will they. Dtill be carrying gaga?
No, it ends on February 2nd.
Wow, she looks gorgeous in this ad! I’m not too sure if I want to buy it though. I don’t particularly like nudes.
All Viva Glam Gaga always looks pale on me and this looks super pale (even though I think I’ll love this lipglass more than the previous one). I wonder if there’s gonna be another VG Cyndi? Her color suits me better.
<3 it!!
I can never pull off nudes, so I’m hoping this will work on me! Then again… I can never pull off baby pinks but the first Viva Gaga looks great on me so maybe this will too!
If this is anything like Yash ,then I gotta buy at least two of these and possible of the lipglass too! It looks pretty and peachy and orange-y og Gaga in the pic, so that gets a big ‘Yay!’ from me as to how it may appear on me once I finally see it!
I wonder how this compares with viva glam II
I can’t really tell but it looks kind of orange. I will def swatch it when it comes out. And is it just me or does Gaga look like Cher in this picture?
if its the color she’s wearing at the promo pic, i dig.
Gaga does look great in that promo picture. Her eyes look really pretty also. I can’t wait to test the nude-ness of this lipstick on my skin to see if it passes my test! LOL
nude colors are my fav, i’m excited to see how this looks on!
OMGG this is absolutely stunning!! Deinately heading out to pick both the lipstick and lipglass up. Love it! <3
loveeee gaga, but when i went to the local mac to see it i wasnt impressed :/
I will truely miss the barbie pink and luscious red. Poooooo This color is B_O_R_I_N_G!
What does limited life mean?
It will only be available for 12 months.
I hate nude lipstick but I love Gaga. Oh the dilemma! I’ll probably give in and get it anyway. Celebrity endorsement defiantly works on me, lol. At least it’s for charity.
I want! I want!
i will definately be getting both, the colours are just so gorgous
Do you know who did the make-up for this??? IM dying to know!!
Ugh, NOT happy about this at all. My MAC gals told me they thought Gaga I would be permanent eventually since it is so popular (like all the other Viva Glams) and the Gaga I has been sold out (though I did hoard a few thankfully). But this color is too “ordinary” which isn’t a bad thing but not to replace my PRECIOUS pink!
i normally dont look good with nudes, but i will get both because all of my friends will buy them, so i have to get ones.
I really love the shade.
Definitely buying! 😀
i will be getting this and i love her makeup in the promo image 🙂
This color looks extremely similiar to “Shy Girl” in the photograph when Gaga is wearing it, but the lipgloss and lipstick don’t look like “Shy Girl”. Maybe it depends on the lipliner being used with it (possibly “Spice” lipliner).
her eye make up is marvelous! Does anyone knows a tutorial close to that look? btw thank you christine for sharing, you are adorable!
Looks gorgeous – but I can’t see it working on me really. I’ll have to wait to see it in person…
The promo is gorgeous!
It looks kinda brownish i’m not sure if I will buy. But its for an good cause so I think I will.
If its an lustre PASS!
sweet! I wear nude lip colors 95% of the time! this is perfect! I didnt get ther first gaga colors because they didnt suit me.
I will pass on this.
I wish she put a little pink in this nude..because I’m afraid it will look too muted.
Actually I have seen this shade and it is NOTHING like any of the previous Viva Glams or anything in the existing lineup. This gloss looks hot over any lipstick or liner.
I want something unique, shes GaGa for crying out loud! but i’ll check it out and see if i like it.
i wouldn’t usually buy a lipstick this color but lady gaga is endorsing is so i need it 🙂
Hmmm…I think the lipstick would be too nude for me, but I’ll definitely check out the lipglass. I always at least check them out since Viva Glam is a charity. There could be good layering potential anyway!
This is so ugly & soOoO BORING!
I cannot wait until this is released. it looks like such a gorgeous nude shade. I just hope it ends up looking good on me, ha.
I’m not a fan of lady gaga. Sorry but I prefer Metallica (I confess to be a death metal/power metal fan) LOL. And I was not a fan of the viva glam gaga last edition (unwearable for me)… BUTTT as you all girl say: OMG (or oh lala) I added these two lipstick+lipglass in my wish-list… I lUUUUUUUUVVVVVE nude lisptick…. I happy to have found your blog/web magazine Christine because thanks to you I can organize my wish-list one or two months before it’s internationally available……
I can’t wait to see swatches! I want these!
yaay! I was looking for a nude lipstick on the viva glam line… I already have the gaga in bright pink… but this nude looks so pretty! 🙂
Not particularly excited about the color but i’ll probably buy both anyways to donate and because i love Gaga!
this reminds me of fresh brew love it!!!!
It looks like a much warmer-based Fresh Brew and I hope to God it is because then I WILL be having it!!
I despise the idea of Lady Gaga but I like charity and I LOVE this color.
Looks like Viva Glam V with no sparkle…
Sooooo need the face chart for those eyes. Beautiful
): I hate nudess
whats limited life mean??
12 months availability
Great color, as I have always been on the search for the perfect nude shade (right now, Myth is the best I have, but this looks nice). But I was pretty disappointed that they didn’t repromote Gaga’s pink lipstick/ glass! It was the best pink color I ever found, and let’s just say when I decided to buy backups they were all sold out 😉
Love Lady Gaga’s eyeshadow…Do you have any idea what colours she is wearing??? Thx!!
I believe this is available online if you look under lips then click on viva glam gaga!!!!!
It looks like it is just the lipstick available under lipstick then viva glam gaga.
never mind it says coming soon but it is online
thanks!
Must Have!!
Cant wait. I missed out on the release of Mickey Contractor and had to stalk the website for restocking, I have 4 Yash lipsticks now. LOL. I WANT THIS ONE!! Love nude colors, it has that sexy naked look to it…I plan to get 2 of each…Still loving Yash!!
Yeah I hope this new Gaga one is as good as Yash or even better!
I sold my Gaga lipstick cos it didn’t work for me; but I might get this one. I’m a sucker for amplified finish, I would feel less guilty purchasing another nude color because I could write this off as charity 😀
The lipglass looks like concealer. lol
Weird…It’s not for sale on the Mac website yet, but it is on the Macy’s website.
I just went on MAC’s website to stock up on the first Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and I find out it isn’t on there anymore! NOOOOO I NEED MORE! I was going to buy 5 more grrrr.
Do you think I’ll have any chance of getting more at a MAC store or one of the counters?
Viva Glam Gaga II is already up on macys.com
I got my lipstick in the mail last night. In the promo picture, it looks a little peachier than it does in real life. It is definitely a flat flesh tone with no shimmer. I’m still not sure if I like it or not since it doesn’t look how I thought it would.
I’ve been using the lipstick for a few days now, and it’s really grown on me. It’s a really lovely opaque nude.
I have a friend that works at a mac counter in dillards, and she gave me a little preview of both products today. and i have to say they are GORGEOUS! im buying two of each right off the bat. Sadly i was only able to get one of the first gaga lipsticks and no lipgloss 🙁 so i dont want that to happen again. SOO looking forward to getting my hands on these babies! They have a list at the counters that you can sign up for if you want to make sure you’re able to get some, and you can hold as many as you want. and theyre guaranteed yours!
Can’t own too many nude lipsticks & glosses.
anyone have any idea of the shadows used for the photo? gorgeous!
I’m not a Lady Gaga fan at all, but I really want this lipstick and lipgloss. I love nudes and this is going to be great.
hey christine do you know when we will get swatches for these?
No, sorry.
The lipstick and lipgloss are online under Lip Products!
ITS ONLINE NOW!!
When will you be purchasing Christine 🙂
It only begins to be available today, sorry, if I could have bought it earlier, I definitely would have!
I LOVE THE NEW GAGA 2. I cant wait to know what you think. I think it would look great on everyone.
I picked up the lipglass yesterday.. the l/s was too amplified for me. it made me look like a crackhead.
OMG! I want this one! I’ve already bought the other
OMG! I Love This Look I Going To Wear This When I In A Pool At Oxted On Sunday!
