Here we are. Christmas is around the corner and the role of Grinch doesn't really suit me. I love to immerse myself in the festive mood: the warmth of home and of hot tea, the Christmas lights adorning the streets or the lights on the Christmas tree blinking in the room. Those things make me think of some happy childhood memories, but that's another story and I'm afraid it doesn't interest you.
What you might be more interested in is, instead, a
holiday blog giveaway!
Here you have the chance to win a MAC lipstick:
Viva Glam I!
If you already follow this blog you know how much I appreciate the MAC Viva Glam line (who doesn't appreciate it, after all?). Of course I like the available shades but most of all I like that 100% of the selling price of every Viva Glam product goes to the
MAC AIDS Fund, which helps people living with HIV (further information
here and
here).
To me it is a honest and trustworthy fundation, one of the best in the beauty scenario actually where many brands spout off about "charity" but at the end of the day they donate to the cause a mere 10% or just a few cents. (So, kudos for you Mac!)
Furthermore, on December 1st, the World AIDS Day, Mac doubled donations to the Mac Aids Fund so I couldn't help but place an order with a gift for one lovely reader.
MAC Viva Glam I is described as a matte but it looks more of a satin lipstick to me, as it's not drying and it's not extremely matte. It's not bright and it's that kind of classic red with a vintage vibe, not too cold, not too warm but well balanced instead, and I can see this being flattering on many complexions.
I do hope you like it as much as I do!
Note: obviously you'll receive a brand new in box lipstick, I'll keep the used one in the photos for me (I photographed mine because, you know, I was afraid to ruin the one to give you, um)
