MAC Viva Glam VI Special Edition

[Cupcake]

Oooh it looks lovely, and would be a wonderful candidate for cloning. It's (rather unceremoniously) described as a 'soft blue pink'. I reckon it could be delightful if replicated in the same kind of style as Berry Nice. (Okay, that's just my own wishfulness!)

Sidenote - it's called a special edition of Viva Glam 6, yet looks nothing like the 'real' VG6, so why not instead call it VG7? Who know?!

I saw the picture of Fergie on the MAC website wearing this & thought exactly the same as you - a cool, lavender-y pink?! Bound to be a winner & right up my street

Unfortunately I think when they photograph models in fashion shoots the light are so bright that they must wash out the colours - I remember getting all over excited about a Bobbi Brown collection once having seen the products online, but being somewhat nonplussed by how they actually appeared on my face (and if you watch any of the clips on the BB website where they're creating the look for a new collection, the models look a bit overdone, but exactly right in the final picture).

Anyhoo, the point being that I checked VG6SE (7 would have been so much easier ) out at the MAC counter in House of Fraser over the weekend and was very disappointed - it is a much deeper shade in 'real life' than it appears in the swatch (& on Fergie ferg) & unfortunately not for me .

The lady at the MAC counter insisted I try this( I was just there for lolipop loving lipglaze) and it was totally wrong for me. It was way too cool and really boring IMO. I would love to see more glazes/ lippies with interesting interferences like lolipop though.

Don't know if this helps at all, but for a soft blue pink lippie, the Elle GWP e/s works really well mixed in with a clear gloss. Seriously. And I don't even LIKE pink!
