There’s a video review in this post, but if it’s not appearing, you can click here to watch it on YouTube.
Turn up the music! — and perhaps hide that doughnut you’re planning to eat for your afternoon snack, because it might get licked… WHOA! That ended up sounding a lot naughtier than it did in my head.
Anyways! MAC Viva Glam’s newest ambassador is none other than pop star and infamous doughnut licker Ariana Grande, and [insert ridiculously impossible vocal run here] her new Viva Glam Lipstick and Lipglass hits all the right notes. I’m feelin’ it (especially the lipstick).
The quick deets on the two-piece MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande collection:
- MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande Lipstick — a deep, dark plum ($17)
- MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande Lipglass — a light, shimmery pink ($15)
- Available on the MAC website starting January 13 and in stores at all MAC locations January 21
As always, thank you for watching. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

What finish is the lipstick? I’m really hoping it’s not matte.
Hi Maren,
It’s a Matte Lipstick, but I can see a tiny hint of shine when it’s on my lips. HTH, and let me know if you have any other questions.
The shimmer in the Lipglass is beautiful, your lips are mesmerizing during the whole first part of the video!
Hi Lulle,
I love the shimmer on the Lipglass too. I think it would be a perfect evening out topper for a pretty pink or a peach.
I hope that 2016 has been treating you well so far!
I love the colors and cause. And I love you for licking the lipstick! LMAO I’m not a fan of hers, but I’ll try to grab these.
Hi Rachel R.,
I hope you like it. 🙂 You could probably wear them with a few of your colorful eyeshadows! Maybe the dark lippie with a forest green eye? I think that would look super pretty.
Happy Wednesday to ya.
That would be beautiful!
I am not really an Ariana fan (yes, the whole doughnut thing really put me off) but I will admit that her music is kind of catchy! And I like that lip gloss on you. It’s a tad too shimmery/glittery for me though. And the lipstick is definitely too dark and vampy for me.
Oh well! Maybe next time. 🙂
I had to google Ariana Grande when they announced her as collaboration partner and felt really old.
Ha! I do that sometimes when I hear about pop artists. 🙂 You’re not alone!
Karen Love it
Tabbys and Karen Kisses
Tabs says hi, Tati! XO
lol I thought that lipstick would taste like vanilla and blackberries! Also, what lip brush do you recommend?
Hi Lydia,
What’s your budget?
Do you know of anything midrange that’s good from sephora or Ulta?
Karen you are so adorable! I love your eye makeup and LICK THAT LIPPIE!!!
HAHAHA
Hi Jessica,
LOL! Thanks! It’s NARS spring 2016. I’ll have a video coming soon. 🙂
Hi,
How different is it compared to Instigator? When I saw your video I first planned to run to MAC at the end of the month to get it then I realised that it seems really similar to Instigator, which I already own.
I just looked up the donut licking incident. Lmao!! She’s a real weirdo for that and so is her friend. Gross! I do like her lipstick though. I’m just hoping MAC hasn’t let her anywhere near them though. I’d rather not have her signature AND spit on my lipstick lol
They’re both beautiful, though I’m more intrigued with the lipglass because the lippie reminds me somewhat of Cyber. Topping off Cyber with this lipglass? Yes, please!! Btw- once again, I’m loving the mobile site revamp. Makes for an even more enjoyable reading experience ?
Love that color of lipstick is my kind of color, wonder how it looks by me hope not too dark.
cool that you are having a Girl 🙂 congrats
Mac’s matte lipsticks are some of my favorites in the collection, and I admit, guilty pleasure, I am a fan of Ariana so I’m so excited about this collection! You just made my day announcing it! I don’t even like lipgloss but I will be getting both!
I’m loving the color of the lipstick. It’s close to one I have already but it also reminds me of Liv from NARS.
