MAC Ricky & Nicki for Viva Glam Swatches, Comparison & Review
Ricky & Nicki for MAC Viva Glam is the latest little collection and for a great cause!
All profits go towards the MAC Aids Fund to help raise awareness of HIV and AIDS. Not 10% or 20%, 100%!
Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick is a warm yellow toned pink satin. It’s bright, yet not as bright as say Candy Yum Yum.
Lip Conditioner is their classic fabulous clear lip balm, which is one of my favorite things from MAC. It comes in an easy to use tube. I much prefer the tube to the pot, less messy, more sanitary!

I was a little worried this would be too warm or strange with my skin, but it’s not at all! It’s a really nice non-chalky looking pink. I think it’s much easier to wear than some of the whiter, cooler bright pinks out there. Great coverage and classic vanilla scent.
MAC Viva Glam Nicki, Wet n Wild Pinkerbell
As I was swatching Nicki I noticed a new Wet n Wild lipstick (which isn’t quite out yet) looked very similar, so I swatched them side by side. They aren’t what I would call dupes (an exact match) but very, very similar. Nicki is slightly darker and a little warmer than Pinkerbell. Also Nicki’s proceeds go towards a great cause. Of course Wet n Wild’s is much less expensive, but not as creamy and moisturizing. I’ll have swatches of all the new Wet n Wild lipsticks soon.
Availability: MAC this month.
Pricing: $14.50 for lipstick, $15.00 for Lip Conditioner.
What do you think about Viva Glam Nicki? Is this a color you think you could pull off?

Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a animal friendly beauty blog.
Yup, need this lipstick. Even if it weren’t going to charity, I would need to have this color in my life.
Hi Alyson,
Yeah it’s a pretty great pink!
Thanks for the swatch and comparison Kelly! I knew Nicki would look great on you! I am very slowly venturing into brighter lip colors, but this one risks looking way “off” on me. Oh well, perhaps I’ll give it a chance at the MAC counter!

Hi Sunny,
You’re welcome! I feel there is a bright shade of pink, red and orange for ALL. You just have to find your perfect one.
I just fell in love with Viva Glam Nicki! Probably buy multiple back ups
Hi Stephanie,
Ohh yay! Back ups sounds like a good deal.
I like this shade. I’ll probably buy it. I do own all of the Viva Glam lipsticks. It’s a great way to buy some lipstick which I adore plus it give 100% to the Aids fund. It’s unsual that 100% of the proceeds go to a charity. At least it’s a wearable shade. I do like MAC’s lipsticks.
Hi Lucy,
It’s so rare I can’t think of any other company that does that! Glad you like it.
LOVE the comparison! This shade of pink is so super pretty but I’m thinking it might clash with my burgundy hair

It’s a beautiful color! I saw the picture and wasn’t so sure about it but after seeing the swatch I’m SOOOOOO going to go get it.
Thanks for the review!
Maybe it’s because my screen’s not displaying colors properly, but Viva Glam Nicki looks very similar to the new Physicians Formula Happy Booster pink lipstick…

I like the color a lot but I’m not sure it would suit me. I guess I’ll have to wait to see it/swatch it in-store. Anyway, thank you for the swatches!
The color is pretty, but I want to see the WnW swatch.

Just to clarify, 100% of the Purchase price, all $14.50, is donated to the MAC AIDS fund not just the proceeds or profits! That makes it even better.
Now I need to have that color! (Wet ‘n Wild) I had a feeling they were similar based on a few swatches that I’ve seen. The hunt continues…
It looks fantastic on you!!! I totally have to check this one out!

I love how vibrant this color is! It really matches the celebrity hosts. Also, it is pretty exceptional that Nicki has two different collections out right now from two different companies (OPI and MAC). Good for her!
The Lacquered Lady´s last post…Shhh…I have a secret!
How pretty! And check out Ricky’s signature on the lip conditioner tube. Fancy. I’ll definitely be picking the lipstick up sometime and maybe the conditioner. Viva Glam is one of the reasons I’m still in love with MAC. I wish more companies involved themselves in charity so regularly.
This color look beautiful on you!!
I love the color! I’m not quite sure I could pull it off though; I have very similar coloring to you but I pull a tad bit more yellow and I have strawberry blonde hair. I’ll probably try it out at a MAC counter though. I don’t buy too much MAC these days but I definitely try to get the Viva Glam products because it goes to such a great cause. It looks really good on you though!
I like how this colour looks on you. Not sure if I could pull it off, but I want to try it since I really don’t have any lipstick that’s as flirty as this one. Might be fun to experiment with.

I was hoping you’d post a review on this lipstick, we have the same skintone so I can always see what lipsticks will look like on me
I really want this lipstick!
I’m probably gonna need that lipstick
I could probably wear it applied with a lip brush since it would make it less intense but I doubt I could wear it from the tube. I love supporting MAC’s Viva Glam program though so one of these two products will be mine.
