++ PLEASE NOTE: This is not a 'versus' blog post; it's just to show you guys how similar these two lippies are. Boths have their pros and cons. I really like the MAC's Viva Glam program since all the money goes to the MAC Aids Fund, so the money we all spent on these products are totally worth it...plus the l/s and l/g are awesome quality ;) ++
MAC's Viva Glam Gaga 2 and NYX Circe L/S:
Can you tell one from the other in the pics below?

The pigmentation in both lipsticks is almost the same. VGGaga2 is just a tad lighter when swatched, it looks like it has a bit more pink in it, but on my lips it's really hard to tell one from the other. A main difference is the texture: VGGaga2 is creamier, more 'emollient' and lasts way longer on my lips than Circe. All in all, to me Circe is a good drugstore dupe. If you are curious about VGGaga2 or if you are in a budget, you may take a look for NYX's Circe. But remember, every penny paid for the Viva Glam l/s goes to the MAC AIDS Fund.
Hope you are all having a nice weekend. For those of you in the U.S. East Coast, hopefully Hurricane Irene didn't cause as much damage as expected in the area each of you live. Be safe!
¡Vivan, amen y rían!
Wow, gracias por el swatch, Yo tengo circe y Uff! no sé en que estaba pensando porque soy negra y pareciera que estoy enferma cuando me lo pongo. He tratado de buscarle la vuelta con mil y un liners y mezclas y na'que ver jajaja. Yo pensaba comprar el Viva Glam de Gaga por ser fan y eso jajaja y ahora que veo que son muy similares mejor paso. Saludos!
