MAC Viva Glam Lipglass -- Cyndi & Gaga
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!

I am so excited for these! Cyndi looks great on you.
Thanks, Debby!
I love the Gaga and Cyndi lipsticks, but for some reason these are not doing it for me. That’s a good thing, because I’m going to go NUTS when Fab Felines hits my local MAC store!
HAVE to get my mittens on Cyndi…I may also purchase backups before they are discontinued next year.
I don’t have Gaga, nor will I be purchasing the matching gloss…far too cool for me.
Are these gonna be available in The Netherlands?
I believe so… Did you guys get the VG lipsticks?
Yeah we did but they sold out so quickly that i hadn’t had the chance to pick up viva glam gaga!
Should get the lipglasses then 🙂
*coming out of nowhere* Yes we get them too, I asked my The Hague/Bijenkorf counter and we get them on the 2nd September like everyone else.
I gave a “loving it” but only for Cyndis color ;-D
I love them both, cuz theyre so pigmented <3
Loving Cyndi Lipglass!!! Can’t wait to get my hands on some!
I don’t know about the Gaga lipglass (way too light for me) but Cyndi looks great, might have to try it
Ah! GaGa! I absolutely love it. <3
Hey Christine, I want to ask if the Viva Glam Gaga & Cindi Lipsticks are still available? I love the colors of the lip glosses but too bad I don’t wear lip gloss! 🙁
Yes, they’re available until February 2011!
This is nice. I’m NW45 in MAC and the VG Gaga lipstick looks like powdered donuts on me. The lipglass is looking more like what I expected the pigmentation of the lipstick to look like. I think I’ll get this lipglass and stick with VG Cyndi’s lipstick. The Cyndi lipglass is looking a bit more orange like you said. I think I may try it though. I’m excited about these.
I so want Viva Glam Gaga Lipglss 🙂
I don’t like how they look like, especially the pink one…
I don’t currently own any lipglasses because of their stickiness but Cyndi may have to be my first (and second) – think will get a backup of the lipstick too
Music wise, I like Gaga more than Cyndi, but makeup-wise, I like the cyndi color a lot more than Gaga!
OMG Cyndi looks AMAZINGGGG on you Christine! I am so going to get it.
Thanks, Amy!
I want Cyndi’s lipglass 🙂
While the Gaga isn’t exactly my color preference (blue-pinks just don’t jive with me for some reason), Cyndi looks FANTASTIC! Corals are definitely my thing. Thank you for the great pictures, Christine!
You’re welcome, Avin!
is the gaga lipglass similar to Turkish Delight?
Not at all, Turkish Delight is so sheer and milky – also not as cool-toned!
ah i SO need to get these! i actually think i like the cyndi one better though.
Wow, the Cyndi lipglass looks stunning!! From what I can see from the pictures it doesn´t even settle into the lip lines too much, which is what usually keeps me from buying milky glosses. And the color is just perfect!
Definitely a backup candidate for me.
yay! I am so excited you made swatches!
LOVE the look of Cyndi!
“Cyndi” looks great on you, Christine! It looks like a nice, light reddish-pink for fall. I actually like it more than “Gaga”, which is surprising since I’m a sucker for nudes and baby pinks.
Thanks, Veronica!
Also I was wondering if the signature rubs off the lipglass packaging because the liberty of london lipglasses did which was sad. 🙂
I don’t have any issues with the printing rubbing off, but I don’t take my lipglosses/lipsticks with me very often. Like my Liberty of London lipglasses don’t have any missing parts or anything, lol!
lipglosses are the first thing that looses it’s printing for me. lipglass, dazzleglass, etc. the more i use them the faster it goes of course, but they’re always gone within a couple months 😛
it doesn’t bother me tho… i’ll probably get 2 of these just to keep and collect, then another 2 to actually use. gaga doesn’t look as milky as i was dreading it would! 🙂 they both look great!
They are both really nice!
Maybe it’s because I don’t use any lipglass that often, LOL.
Oh okay cool, do you guys think clear nail polish would work?
Cyndi’s is so nice!
I love Cyndy lipstick and lipglass!!! I want it! xD
Getting both! Thanks!
How many coats did u apply in the photo?
One even coat? I usually apply in parts, not in coats 🙂 I believe I mentioned it in the review that it took 2-3 pumps of gloss. I typically use at least 2, even on sheer glosses, to get an even look.
i like the cyndi one a bit better, but i will probably end up with both!
*drools
i have the lady gaga lipstick so it might be wasteful to get the lipgloss as well cause they are so similar. i do like the cyndi lipglass. how similar is it to illamasqua mistress lipgloss intense?
Not really like Mistress, which is more orange and way more opaque/brighter.
Definitely want Cyndi! Not sure if I can pull off Gaga. 🙁
Gaga reminds me a little of English Accents l/g from Liberty of London. I got it on a whim, and it looks HORRID on me, unless worn very sheerly.
I may just end up getting both l/g, as I already have both l/s, and it’s for a good cause! 🙂
I love the cindy lipgloss. How similar is the gaga gloss to english accent gloss?
Pinker, lighter
Viva Glam Cindy! Must have! Amazing coral…can’t wait to’ get it!!!
The Cyndi lip glass is definitely more coal than red. I love them both!
I love the Cindy lipgloss as it seems more wearable on a day to day basis.
I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
🙂
I’m looking forward to the Cyndi lipglass since I LOVE the Cyndi lipstick!!
I love how your lip swatches look so smooth and flawless! I think I’ll get Cyndi
Thanks a lot, Michelle!
The Cyndi lipglass looks so pretty, just like the lipstick. 🙂
Hi! Is the VGC l/g similar to Fold and Tuck l/g? Thanks!
Not as orange, I’d say!
Christine, how would you compare viva glam cyndi ligglass to one of the permenent collection lipglass called lychee luxe? Are these 2 very similar or no?
Also, when are these lipglasses releasing???
Redder, more opaque, and creamier than Lychee Luxe!
Redder!
i am so excited for this!! will definitely get back ups of these products because i love both shades!
Cyndi looks awesome! I’ll probably end up getting both though, since they’re for such a good cause 🙂
I can’t wait for these. I know a lot of people have been loving the gaga more than the cyndi. but i think cyndi’s one is more wearable.
the viva glam cyndi lipglass looks so good on you. u have convinced me to run and buy this once it hit the store ^^
thanks christine for the swatches. really helpful.
No prob, Jess!
I was going to buy the Gaga gloss..but it looks milky for some reason..I don’t think it would look right on me.
I plan to pick up both of these. I loved the lipsticks and I am actually wearing Cyndi today. Gaga lipstick did not look flattering on me but I am hoping the lipglass will be different. I feel like I would need to wear a lipliner with Gaga lipglass though, I am NC50. What liner would u suggest if any?
I probably wouldn’t wear one myself, but you could try Pink Treat.
I’m definitely getting Cyndi.
i definitely don’t like the lady gaga
I’m not much of a lipstick user, so I’m glad these are available. I will probably pick both up.
I really don’t like the Gaga one but the Cyndi gloss looks really good!
GORGEOUS. Love them both!
I want to like Gaga but the color is all wrong for me. But I have and love Cyndi lipstick. I’m going to have to get off my spending diet and buy the lipglass.
Is Cyndi more of a red-coral or a pink-coral?
Orange-coral 🙂
i got backups of the gaga lipstick, so i will definetely be picking up a few of the lipglasses.
I love MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass on you and hopefully it will go well on me also. I bought the Lipstick why not buy the Lipglass as well 😀 Love it.
Ooh I like the Cyndi, really seems to flatter your complexion and brighten (not that you need that). I’m still trying to get my hands on the Cyndi lipstick, keep calling my counter checking to see if it’s arrived in the next delivery so they can hold one or two for me, sigh, will keep trying, when I swatch it, it just looks like the warm pink I’ve been searching for and of course it’s for a good cause. It’s great you get to try out products early and give us these lovely previews, thanks Christine.
You’re welcome, Diane!
Cyndi looks so good on you but it doesn’t for me. I’ll stick with Gaga and I want to bags too.
Thank you, Leslie!
have all viva glam lipsticks/glosses always been limited edition? My MAC store always has all of them……how come these are the only limited editions ones i’ve come across? cyndi (l/s and l/g) is to pretty to be limited edition ):
No, the ones they collaborate on with celebrities tend to be limited – e.g. VG VI SE Lipglass (Fergie) and these with Gaga and Cyndi.
gaga looks like splashing.
I so want these lipglasses
Is Gaga lipglass similar to splashing lipglass?
Similar, bluer based, though. More opaque, less shimmer.
Both glosses are calling my name ! Plus it’s for a good cause, all the more reasons to splurge and get both 😛
well it will be cyndi but it is a bright coral. It should overlay the cyndi lipstick quite nicely as on me the lipstick wears more muted.
I have the lady gaga lipstick and didn’t like the cyndi but for this it’s the opposite way around. I like the cyndi gloss not sure I want to buy it though but the gaga lipglass isn’t very appealing. I think I’m going to skip this and just get a few backups of the lady gaga lipstick because I love it!
wow! before, everyone wanted the VG Gaga lipstick, but now everyone wants the VG Cyndi lipglass! I like Cyndi a lot more too!
cyndi seems very wearable and gaga seems very un-wearable.. weird. But everyone is right, Cyndi looks GREAT on you christine!
Thanks, CJ!
Ooh, pretty. I love the packaging.
Both are great. Which one would you reccomend for fair skin with pink undertones?
Gaga
Awesome! Your swatches always look so fabulous. I love Temptalia!
Thanks, Christina!
So ugly… 😛
Actually, the Cyndi looks okay, but I’m not impressed with the Gaga.
I was just at MAC last night and bought Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick, and I am dying to get the lipglass as well!!
*-* Must have… Btw Christine, do you know if the Cyndi & Gaga lipsticks are still available?
Yes, until February!
Another twenty-nine dollars out of my wallet… :p
Yay! Can’t wait for Viva Glam Cyndi lipglass!
Love the smooth opaque look of Cyndi, not loving the too cool, sink-into-liplines look of Gaga
Cyndi looks great! Could you do a lip swatch of the lipstick and gloss layered sometime, please? Thank you 😉
I’ll try!
Cyndi looks amazing on you, Christine!
I’ve been looking for an opaque red lipgloss, too. I think I’m getting Cyndi over Wicked Ways!
Thank you, Jenn!
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!
I think I will get Cindy, blue tones rlly dont go wit me
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 🙁
WOW!! The Cyndi one looks hot hot hot!
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?!
i loove both colors but cyndi looks gorg on you!
Thanks, Rebecca!
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!
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!
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!
Cyndi reminds me of Revlon Coral Reef! It looks lovely 🙂
I love Gaga lipstick! From your swatches, I think I prefer Cyndi lipglass. It looks really pretty.
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!
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.
love the packing and cyndi’s lipglass!!! have to try it on me, though it was going to be brighter
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
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!
Cyndi! So pretty! I already have the lipstick but now I need this.
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
OH MY GODDDDDD!!!!!
im totally gonna buy 2 of each!!!
and you are so amazing christine, as always 🙂
OMG. Cyndi looks absolutely gorgeous! Cannot wait to get my hands on it! 🙂
GAGA AND CYNDI LIPGLASSES ON MACYS WEBSITE!
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…
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!
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!
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:-)
I lovveeee it!!!
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.
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.
I just ordered mine online last night. I’m super excited to get them!
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 have the lipstick and lipglass both in gaga but that cyndi gloss looks gorgeous on you . i want it!
They kind of look like Coral Reef and Lilac Pastelle from Revlon.
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.
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
Hi: In the last pic, did you put Cyndi lipstick and lipglass, or just lipglass?, cause I can’t buy both..
Just the lipglass.
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.
hey,
do you know a dupe for cyndi&gaga lipstick&glosses
thaks! they look amazing on you!
