Product Review: Viva Glam

Normally I would use this section to cover a product which has proven its excellence, but in the spirit of the holidays, I thought I would encourage all my lovely readers to get into the season by giving something back. After all, it’s what the season is all about.
When you are shopping for the Christmas red lipstick you want to wear for the holiday season, consider checking out MAC’s Viva Glam line. The line has six lipstick shades ranging from a bright red to a subtle plum, and two of the lipsticks have corresponding Lip Glass lip glosses. The photo for our Red Lips –December 11 post shows our model wearing Viva Glam lipstick. The lipsticks retail at $14, and every single cent of that goes to non-profit organizations that help bring awareness and relief to those affected with AIDS.
I would never recommend a product to you that I couldn’t get behind, and I can honestly say that you won’t go wrong with MAC lipsticks. They won’t fade quickly, and they will last you forever. I bought my Viva Glam lipstick two years ago, and although I don’t use it every day, I still have a good portion of the tube left.
Another way to give back this holiday season is to buy products which aren’t tested on animals. Companies such as Urban Decay, Avon, Nordstrom Cosmetics, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Aveda, and The Body Shop don’t test on animals. For a full list of cruelty-free companies, check here.
So be gorgeous and good this holiday season, and consider giving back with your holiday beauty purchases.
