Giveaway: MAC Viva Glam for World AIDS Day!

Since today is December 1st, which means it's World AIDS Day, I decided to do a giveaway for a MAC Viva Glam I lipstick!

For some weird reason I don't seem to have a swatch picture of the lipstick, but you can see what it looks like in the video below! :)

 

All the 6 permanent Viva Glam shades.

The one I'll give away is Viva Glam I which is on the far right in this picture. 

If you haven't heard about the Viva Glam lipsticks before, it's a line of lipsticks where all the money you pay for them goes directly to the MAC AIDS Fund, which you can read more about here.

Rules

I'll be giving away 1 MAC Viva Glam I lipstick!

Everyone needs a red lipstick and this is definitely one of my favorites! :)

MAC Viva Glam for Fall 2010 swatches and thoughts

This fall, MAC are coming out with two new additions to the Viva Glam family; Gaga lipglass and Cyndi lipglass!

Wham up the GLAM in VIVA GLAM! Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the sensational Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga! The uninhibited new voices behind MAC's new "From Our Lips" campaign, designed to speak to the challenges women face as the fastest new group affected by HIV/AIDS around the world.

The MAC AIDS Fund and the VIVA GLAM program are the heart and soul of MAC Cosmetics. Established in 1994 to support men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS globally, VIVA GLAM I, II, III, IV, V, and VI were launched as continous shades and have achieved tremendous success over the years. Fall 2010 sees two new Lipglass shades, introduced by our audacious superstars for a limited six months on counter.

Dare to Wear swatches and thoughts

Back in 2007 MAC released a collection called C Shock. This was the first MAC collection I remember buying something from, and I remember being super excited about all the bright eyeshadows in the collection.
Dare To Wear brings back one of those C Shock eyeshadows (Going Bananas), and it brings back a lot of memories for me! :)

Our own Lady Gaga mobilized legions of you to DARE TO WEAR... and it's created a wave of energy, excitement and outrageousness all around the world! Join the brigade of loud-and-proud who daily dare to declare their own individuality.
High-powered pigment and holographic pearl create a crazy-intense shine-saturated gloss, combined with Pop Eye Shadow shadws, as over-the-top as Lady G Live!
Inter-dimensional one-coat colour on the first stroke means there's always an encore! Creamy soft application grabs and sculpts, gel structure molds and has a bouncy feel - pure exhilaration, it's a personal high! More and more of you, every minute, every hour, every day, not afraid to DARE TO WEAR.
Bravo!

MAC Update sneak peak ;)

I'm so glad I brought my camera with me to update! :)
I had the chance to swatch so many of the new products, and I'm really looking forward to sharing all the pictures with you!

I'll have posts up with all the swatches ASAP!

(Huge) Lodon haul! :D

First of all, I just want to say that I'm not posting this to brag or anything like that and I really don't hope it seems like it :/ I'm just a crazy makeup junkie who saved up for a shopping spree and wants to share her purchases with all her lovely followers!! :)

I wasn't sure if I should post everything in one big post or keep the things from each brand in separate posts, but I decided to just post the haul pictures of everything in this post, and if you're interested in seeing reviews on any of the products, let me know and I'll do separate posts with that :)

Superglass!

Oh. My. God.!
I'm a sucker for anything sparkely and glittery so these are right up my alley!

I know, I know... Most of you have probably seen these already since they've been out for quite a while, but they're not been released here yet, and I love them so much that I really wanted to share swatches! :)

MAC In The Groove look + tutorial

Here comes the first look I did with products from the In The Groove collection from MAC! :)

If you missed the post I did with swatches of the In The Groove products, you can find it here :)

Organizing 3 drawers of MAC!

I guess this isn't your standard organizing post ;)

It's a post filled with MAC To The Beach porn!

MAC To The Beach blushes, bronzers and creme bronzers

 

I just organized 3 drawers full of To The Beach stuff at the counter today!
We're still missing the body oil and Thrills lipstick so I hope we get it before the collection releases here on the 15th.
Yeah, I know... We're super late here! As always.

Collective Haul: MAC, OPI, GOSH

My super sweet colleague Marie Louise went to Hamburg this past weekend and she was sweet enough to bring me a couple of things form the To The Beach collection (which isn't being released here until June 15th for whatever reason), and I'm really excited!
She also brought me an OPI polish that I'd been wanting and a nailpolish remover with a pretty interesting smell... ;)

This post is both the things Marie Louise brought me from Hamburg but also a couple of things I've picked up at MAC at home as well as a few GOSH things I just found on sale today :)

MAC To The Beach look + tutorial!

Who's excited about the MAC To The Beach collection?! :D

Zoffe's favorites: April '10

As with everything else I have going on at the moment, this post is super late ;)
And, as always, I'm sorry.
But! Even though it's now May 9th, I still wanted to share my April favorites with you!

Huge MAC "haul"!

An(other) long overdue post!

This post is about all the amazing new products I got at Update last week!
I wanted to post about everything earlier but just haven't had the time.
Blogging would be so much easier if I didn't have a job (or two) I had to take care of too, haha ;)

I'm going to post pictures of everything I got from the new collections as well as sharing my thoughts on everything.
The only collection that isn't out in the US yet is the To The Beach collection, but I did get things from Prep for Colour, Liberty of London and Pret-a-Papier as well :)

Haul: MAC Liberty of London

I know that the Liberty of London collection is super old news to those of you in the US and Canada, but it actually isn't released here until April 15th! I was lucky enough to get my hands on some goodies yesterday though ;)

As always, I'm going to be honest with you here. I'm not a fan of the packaging in this collection. I might be the only one who doesn't like it but it's just not "me". Sure, it's cute and all, but idk... I'm not a fa.
I do have one nice thing to say about the packaging: Unlike the Dame Edna lipsticks, which had stickers on them, these little flowers and birds are actually printed on (if that's what you call it?) so they won't fall off ;)

Swatches: Yellow eyeshadows!

I got a request to swatch Suarpill's Buttercupcake next to MAC Chrome Yellow eyeshadow and Primary Yellow pigment.

When I had swatched those three I figured I might as well swatch all of my yellow eyeshadows for good measure! ;)

Zoffe's favorites: March '10

So, in this post, I asked you if you would want to see posts featuring my monthly favorite products.
Most of you said, that you'd like to see my favorites in a blog posts, some said that they'd like to see them in a video and a couple didn't care to see the favorites at all.

For this first edition of my monthly favorites, I've chosen to do both a video and a blog post. I'm not sure if I'll continue to do it this way or if I'll stick to doing just one of the things.
I'd love to know your thoughts on this! :)

Viva Glam: From our Lips has raised more than $1.5 million!

In the first two weeks from its release, the newest Viva Glam campaign, with Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga as spokespersons, has helped raise more than $1.5 MILLION to the MAC Aids fund.

And if that wasn't enough, those two weeks were the weeks that the lipsticks were available in North America only!
Imagine how much money the campaign has raised after being released world wide!

This makes "From Our Lips", as the campaign is called, the most successful Viva Glam campaign to date.

Pretty amazing, isn't it?

Viva Glam Cyndi look + tutorial

I finally got my hands on the new MAC Viva Glam lipsticks!
And what better way to celebrate than to do a looks using them? ;)

I decided to use Cindy first, and here's what I did :)
It's definitely a more toned down look, so I hope to think of something fun to do for the Gaga lipstick look!
