My Thoughts:

If I had pick between the two, I would have to pick the lipglass. It has a warmer tone and has more color. That’s if I had to pick between the two. In reality, I wouldn’t pick either one. It’s just too pale of a color. There’s barely any color to it. To me, it looked nothing like how it appeared in the ad:

On Lady Gaga, it looks like a gorgeous peachy, orange shade. On me? It looks like I applied concealer and forgot to add lip color. I don’t want to regret getting Gaga 2. I hope I find a way to make it work.

My Thoughts:

I am very sad to say that I am not happy with MAC’s Viva Glam Gaga 2 Lipstick. The formulation and texture are great. It was creamy and not over drying. The lasting power was typical of a lipstick: about 4 hours and had a semi-matte finish. What made me so disappointed was the shade itself. I thought the shade would have a bit of peachy, orange to it. All it looked like to me was a concealer shade in lipstick form. I was hoping it would look like what it did in the ad:

I realize it’s a nude shade, but I wish it had more warmth and color. The lipstick shade did not appear remotely peachy, orange as it did on Lady Gaga. Instead, it looked like I hadn’t seen the sun in ages. It basically looked like I slapped on some concealer on my lips. On a happy note, if you’re tired of using concealer or foundation to conceal your natural lip color, you can use MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2 Lipstick to do the job.

MAC Lip Erase ($16) A flesh-toned balm that visually neutralizes and erases natural colour from the lip. Shine- and texture-free. Available in a choice of two shades for use on light to medium skin tones.

My Thoughts:

This is a product everyone must have. It does what it claims to do: erases lips. No more using foundation or concealer to minimize the natural color of your lips. By “erasing” your natural lip color, it allows for lipgloss or lipstick to show up true to color. Finally! No more wondering whether the lipcolor you just bought will appear the same on your lips. Also, if you want that perfect nude lip color, all you have to do is apply Lip Erase and some clear gloss and you’ve got the perfect nude lip color. Lip erase is a balm-like texture that can be a tad bit drying, but that problem can easily be solved by exfoliating and moisturizing beforehand. It is a MAC Pro product so you can only get it off the MAC Pro site if you have their card. If you don’t have their card, you can still get it by visiting a MAC Pro store. It is available in two colors: Dim and Pale. I suggest you get it in “Dim” unless you are really truly pale then get it in “Pale.”

MAC Lipstick ($14) Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous.

My Thoughts:

MAC lipsticks are one of my favorite lipsticks. Not only do they carry a wide range of colors, but MAC also carries a range of textures. The lipsticks are pigmented but don’t feel heavy. They glide on so smooth and depending on the texture can be moisturizing too.
