I am well aware that there are LOADS of posts about these MAC LE lipglasses featuring Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga, its my fault I'm so late, because I actually forgot I had them! ~ACK!
anyway...
If anyone is still looking for info and swatches here's my take on the glosses:
Cyndi is a cute, reddish coral, very wearable... Remember, BLOTTING is key to keep ourselves from looking overdone and gross. *just a friendly reminder*
Lady Gaga is a pretty, pale blue - pink shade which makes my pigmented lips look full and milky.
I like these two very much, they can be applied alone (as they are pigmented, especially Cyndi) or layered on top of complementing lipsticks. I was told by a MUA that the Lady Gaga lipglass looks awesome on top of MAC's infamous pink lipstick, Pink Nouveau. I've tried the combo as I have Pink Nouveau as well, and I have to agree.
Consistency is bearably sticky, not like the old MAC lipglass formula I've tried which was tormentingly sticky. Ugh! If you're a fan of both Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga which most probably you are, maybe you can still find these in your local stores, that is if they aren't sold out yet. It will help a lot of people infected with the HIV virus. Charity is always great!
to cap off the MAC post, I leave you with my NOTD using Mean & Green from the Venomous Villains collection. *so late!* But better than never! ;)
Stunning duo chrome finish IMO, its purple, its green, its shiny! I can't help but look at my nails every time I read a book or a magazine, it's so cool it's distracting! Tip wear is great too (with OPI top coat), I don't have access to its known dupe: Orly's Space Cadet so I'm very happy I got to snag a bottle of Mean & Green. Yay! I only like LE's when I can access them. LOL!
That's it for now, life's a bit hectic nowadays, I'll be MIA from tomorrow until next week, don't miss me too much, I'll be back with wonderful news and posts before you know it! DON'T BLINK!
just kidding! ^_~

HAHAHA i love how you ended your post XD
ReplyDeleteI have Mean and green too :D can't wait to paint XD thankyou so much for the help with the WnW scout! i've a few friends hunting for the palettes but they've got the purple (sugar plum fairy) so far :X haha i guess that's better than nothing XD
How does Cyndi look on lips? I swatched at the store and i'm afraid it'll make my mouth looks like bleeding :X
HAHAHA you forgot you had those 2 glosses XD?
If you're going to be MIA does that mean you're going to HK?! Ahhhh Have fun on your travels dear!!! <3
ReplyDeleteThe Cyndi lip glos looks pretty and wearable. I passed on this set because I love love love dolly pinks but then again, it's hard for me to pull off >.< Thanks for the swatches :)
Cyndi looks really great! Reddish-coral sounds good to me. FOTD with that, please. :P
ReplyDeletehehe you are so cute. yay glad you got both lipglasses, i just looove cindi, gaga doesn't work too well on me, but i've just learned to apply super lighthandedly and then blend blend hehe. can't wait till you get back hun :)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! The lip glasses look so pretty, I love the Cyndi lipstick personally. Mean & Green looks like an awesome polish for the fall.
ReplyDeletelove those 2 shades. especially the cyndi so pretty.
ReplyDeletecome back soon. miss you lots.
You'll be missed! <3 Stunning duo chrome finish on your digits for sure! I wish I could wear dark polish. On me, it just looks all kinds of wrong. =\ And ooh, you got both lippies! I only have Gaga but haven't used it in a while b/c I've found it to be a bit bright on me. I'll take your advice and check out Pink Nouveau though. =D
ReplyDeleteI still don't have both of these glosses and even the lippies..I've been wanting the Cyndi....
ReplyDeleteNice swatches!
ReplyDeleteI love those glosses! :)
I've been thinking of the Cyndi and Gaga lipglasses every time I walk by MAC! hehe I think MAC's Viva Glam charity collection is really great, not only because the money goes to a good cause but because they really offer high-quality products and beautiful colors in the collection. The Mean & Green is soo pretty.. when I wear Bad Fairy I get so distracted too :D
ReplyDeleteHave fun in HK dear G!!
ReplyDeleteDo you wear Gaga alone? The strong blue undertones doesn't flatter me much *sob*
Yup, LE kit kats are definitely sold in HK, happy hauling =DDDD
Darling, why are you still commenting? You're supposed to be MIA and enjoying your weekend! =D Thank you so much though for visiting on your break. <3
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you too!
i would love to get my hands on cyndi lip gloss!
ReplyDeletethanks for the swatch!
Cyndi is such a gorgeous color! I like Gaga as well, but I rarely wear such pale pink colors. hmm maybe I should start soon! Love your manicure color, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI still want to get both of the lipglass! Have fun G :)
