Don't dare to wear red? Mac Viva Glam I lipstick is your best bet [review, photos, swatches]


MAC-Viva-Glam-I-Lipstick-review


This Christmas I went to a MAC counter wanting to purchase MAC Plumful lipstick. But first I wanted to hear a MAC make up artist's opinion about what's the shade that suits me best and her recommendation was this deep red MacViva Glam I lipstick, because I have pale skin, blue eyes, blonde hair and full lips.
And I was thinking “Oh my God, will I ever wear such a red lipstick if I buy it? Why did I ask for her opinion first? I want MAC Plumful!”. And after long consideration (meaning I left the shop and came back after one hour of consideration!) I took the plunge and listened to MAC make up artist's opinion... cause who knows better that a MAC make up artist, right? :) And I left with the classic MAC Viva Glam I lipstick. So, here's my review.



La sfarsitul anului trecut, mai exact de Craciun, am intrat intr-un magazin MAC cu gandul sa achizitionez rujul MAC Plumful. Dar, din curiozitate, am vrut sa aflu intai recomandarea unui make up artist MAC in ceea ce priveste nuanta perfecta pentru mine. Ei bine, mi s-a recomandat acest ruj rosu MAC Viva Glam I fiindca sunt palida, blonda cu ochi albastri si buze groase. Ma si gandeam “Oh my God, o sa port vreodata rujul asta daca il cumpar? (nefiind obisnuita sa port culori asa puternice) De ce oare i-am cerut parerea? Eu vroiam MAC Plumful!” Si, dupa lungi deliberari (asta insemnand ca am plecat din magazin si m-am tot gandit timp de o ora daca o sa-l port!...da, sunt nehoratara rau de tot de felul meu), mi-am luat inima in dinti si am ascultat de sfatul make up artistului...caci cine stie mai bine decat un make up artist MAC, nu-i asa?:) Asa ca am plecat acasa cu rujul MAC Viva Glam I, rujul despre care vreau sa va vorbesc astazi.

Swatch: MAC Viva Glam I lipstick
MAC Viva Glam I (one of MAC's bestsellers launched in 1994) is a beautiful deep red lipstick with a matte texture which is great for both day and night, it is really creamy and glides easily but as most matte shades it can be a little drying especially that my lips are prone to drying. It is not annoying though, it only dries them slightly. What I like most about this lipstick is that it lasts almost all day on the lips! Even after eating spaghetti!




MAC Viva Glam I este un ruj rosu clasic (este unul dintre cele mai vandute rujuri de-a lungul timpului, fiind lansat in 1994), mat si poate fi purtat cu usurinta atat ziua, cat si seara. Este cremos si se aplica usor pe buze, dar ca orice nuanta mata, poate usca putin buzele, iar buzele mele tind sa se crape in special iarna. Nu va faceti griji, nu este foarte uscat, se simte cremos pe buze. Ce imi place cel mai mult la el este rezistenta lui: rezista aproape toata ziua pe buze! Chiar si dupa ce mananc spaghetti!



Well, the truth is that I haven't worn Viva Glam I much, but not because I don't like it or doesn't suits me, I actually love the shade and it matches my pale skin really well (even my mom who said I should never wear red says this lipstick matches my skin beautifully) but I still haven't purchased a red lip liner and I definitely need one for this lipstick because I have uneven lips and it just doesn't look right without a lip liner.



Adevarul este ca nu l-am folosit des, dar nu pentru ca nu imi place sau nu imi sta bine, dimpotriva, imi place nuanta si imi sta foarte bine cu ea (chiar si mama mea, care spunea sa nu-mi cumpar rosu ca o sa arate vulgar, e de parere ca imi sta bine fiindca nu este o nuanta atat de aprinsa), ci pentru ca nu am cumparat un creion pentru a avea un contur perfect.



Don't dare to wear red lipstick? Try this one! I was told it was a universally flattering shade meaning that it suits every skin tone and you can't go wrong with this shade. If you want a very pigmented, gorgeous classic red shade that suits every skin tone and lasts all day, go ahead and buy it, it will give you confidence! It is a classical red lipstick, not too “in your face” and makes my teeth appear whiter. And keep in mind that every cent of its price goes to MAC AIDS Fund to help people affected by HIV. How can I regret buying it?



Nu aveti curaj sa purtati ruj rosu? Incercati-l pe acesta! Mi s-a spus ca este o nuanta universala ce avantajeaza orice ten, asa ca nu puteti da gres cu el. Daca va doriti un ruj rosu clasic, mat, foarte pigmentat si rezistent, fara a fi strident sau vulgar si care face dintii sa para mai albi, atunci acesta este cel mai potrivit! Un ruj rosu ar trebui sa fie nelipsit din trusa oricarei femei fiindca te face sa te simti puternica si mai increzatoare! Nu in ultimul rand, tineti minte ca atunci cand il veti achizitiona, toti banutii dati de voi se vor indrepta spre Fundatia MAF (MAC AIDS Fund), care ofera suport financiar persoanelor infectate cu virusul HIV. Cum sa regreti ca il cumperi?



Price/Pret: 16$



Do you like this shade? Would you wear it?

  1. Se vede in fotografii cat de cremos si ce pigment misto are rujul tau; sincer, ma tenteaza sa incerc un ruj MAC, desi sunt cam suparata pe acest brand fiindca lacurile si fardurile pe care le am, sunt o dezamagire...nici nu le prea folosesc. Totusi, cred ca mi-ar place chiar nuanta aceasta, sau poate una mai rosie...imi place aceasta fiindca nu este una foarte pretentioasa (ca rosul acela puternic de care trebuie mereu avut grija); in opinia mea, arata foarte bine pe buzele tale chiar si fara un creion pt contur...si cred ca ar arata fain si amestecat cu un balsam de buze (eu mai fac asa vara: aplic putina culoare de la un ruj pigmentat si apoi aplic un balsam cremos de buze). Pup!

    1. Da, Georgia, asa fac si eu cand mi se pare prea puternica nuanta, combin cu balsam. Totusi, un clip liner am nevoie, ma uit la poze si vad ca e cam stramba gura mea :D. Si e mai usor de aplicat cand ai conturul trasat. Te pup!

  2. Recunosc ca inca nu am incercat niciun produs MAC, am vazut un stand [cu tot cu make-up artisti sau advisori, nu stiu exact, ca nu m-am apropiat prea tare] saptamana trecuta, insa am decis sa stau cuminte pana voi lua salariul. Cu siguranta o sa le incerc produsele, de cand astept. :D
    Sa te bucuri de el si sa-l folosesti mai des! :)

  5. Eu visez la Russian Red si daca ar fi sa imi iau un ruj MAC ala ar fi prima optiune. E foarte dragut si al tau, ma fascineaza gandul sa ramana pe buze chiar si dupa ce mananc. <3

    1. Daaa, am auzit ca Russian Red e superb, dar nu l-am vazut live, probabil ca nu-l aveau pe stoc in momentul acela. Sau poate tipa a considerat ca e mai potrivit Viva Glam I pentru mine:*

  8. I love this post! Great help for me, I'm only just venturing into lipsticks as a long term gloss lover - I've just done a review of MUA lipsticks so this may be the push to try a higher end lipstick for comparison thanks!
