the newest viva glam-VIVA NICKI!

alright guys, i'm sure all of you are aware of the nick and ricky viva glam launch! i received my pre-order email about 2 weeks ago, but i didn't hear any hyper via twitter or youtube about the email. that is, until the following week. EVERYONE was tweeting about ordering it, some even received it in like 2 days! my boyfriend paid for mine on the 11th, it was my valentines present:] it came yesterday but unfortunately i had class to go to, so i couldn't really bask in the lipstick glory. but today i did swatches and photos for you!
this is a satin finish lipstick. in my opinion, viva glam nicki is an orangey/yellow toned pink. a lot different than the pink friday lip color. which i was nervous about being too similar.
here's a swatch side by side of viva glam and pink friday. pink friday is obviously more of a baby, blue toned pink (maybe even more wearable?)
this is all based on preference, but i probably won't be sporting viva glam all over town, it is a bit too loud for me. i may however, wear viva glam with mascara and call it good! this is more of a collectors item for me, which people think is ridiculous to spend so much on a lipstick and not wear it every single day. oh well, i don't buy many mac products so it's no biggie!
i do like how it looks, maybe for special occasions or certain videos!
and as for the ricky martin lip shine, i am totally skipping that. i am not a fan of him and i really don't want him endorsing any of my cosmetics.
thanks for reading! do any of you have this color yet?
