Lip Conditioner, Viva Glam Nicki lipstick
Viva Glam Nicki
Lip Conditioner (clear)
So here's one of the really interesting celebrity duos for MAC Viva Glam- Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj. Ricky was my childhood crush when I was only 12. He was part of this Puerto Rican boy band called Menudo. I had to convince my dad to watch the concert when I was in 6th grade, and I never regretted it. Even now as a dad of twin boys and having fearlessly revealed his true self to the world, I still find him incredibly sexy. I'm glad he has committed to be a part of Viva Glam, with every cent of the selling price supporting the MAC AIDS fund. Viva Glam Nicki lipstick is a bright yellow pink in the satin formula, and I gotta admit it is very Nicki Minaj-esque. Ricky's product is a clear lip conditioner in a no-mess, sanitary tube which I really like, as opposed to those lip conditioners in pots.
Clear Lip Conditioner, Viva Glam Nicki
Wearing Viva Glam Nicki with clear lip conditioner underneath (please pardon the wonky-looking falsies! The other one looked odd at this angle, but I fixed it and it looked a lot better. Too bad I didn't take a photo after that!)
I wasn't too sure of Viva Glam Nicki because it looked way too bright and cool on my warm yellow-olive skin. It looked better on me than Viva Glam Gaga 1, and the yellow undertones complement my warm undertones. I believe I can make this look warmer with the right lip liner or gloss on top.
I LOVE the lip conditioner. I love the convenient and sanitary tube, and I also like that it really moisturizes the puckers and not just makes them slippery for better application of lip products. I like the lip conditioner more than the lipstick, but if you have the right skintone, you will definitely rock Viva Glam Nicki, especially since it is saturated with color (thanks to the satin formula).

I'm not big on wearing bright pinks but this one I kinda like due to the fact that it's warm toned. The fact that you're the same shade as me and it looks nice on you makes me want it more. thanks for sharing!
When I first heard of this lipstick. I was bit like I will past. Then I saw the swatches and I love the warm yellow undertone to it. Definitely wearable. Thanks :)
