Mac Viva Glam Nicki & Gaga lipstick Review

Is Mac Nicki too similar to Viva Glam Gaga lipstick? Do I really need another pink lipstick? I did predict main difference in the warm and cool undertones but that never played the main rule for not comparing 2 pink lipsticks. It's especially hard to buy different shades of lipsticks without having a look at both at the same time.

L to R: Viva glam Gaga, Viva glam Nicki

FINISH

Gaga (baby pink) is a lustre 

Nicki (neon warm pink) is a satin

TEXTURE

Gaga is much more transparent and hydrating, not enhancing the lines and must be layered a couple of times

Nicki is opaque, gives the exact color from the tube and settles into the lip lines easily

COLOR

Gaga is a cool light baby pink  (really wearable)

Nicki is a neon warm pink, almost on the border of a hot coral-pink

DRYNESS

Gaga is not drying as the Nicki one but it's still necessary to apply lip balm

Nicki is drying out your lips after a day of wearing

LONGEVITY

Gaga stays on the lips for reasonable time - 4 hours

Nicki stays on for quite a while and leaves a stain on the lips- 6 hours

Choosing the right lipstick is based on everyone's own preference. I do like both but Viva Glam Nicki is just a bit more special. I also find Viva Glam Gaga to be a bit too similar to my other lipsticks and you can find lots of similar shades in the drugstore. As for the Nicki lipstick, it's widely avaliable in the Mac stores for a year.
