I’ve done this look a million times on my blog but I decided to do a video on the eye makeup that I like to use when I wear MAC Viva Glam Nicki. The best part is that most of the eye products I’m using are all drugstore eye shadows!
I hope you gals will find this tutorial helpful and I also hope you’re able to proudly rock this bright pink lip for Spring & Summer! xo

This is a new top I featured in my Spring Clothing haul (which I’m working on getting up tonight)–I’m in love with it! It’s perfect for the Spring & Summer months. Since this shirt was a loud one, I kept the hair simple, did a faux amber gem earring & a pop of pink on the lip. I’m loving MAC’s Quick Sizzle as you can see

Hi Loves!
Today’s weather was slightly cool & cloudy but I knew I could get away with wearing shorts. I call this time of the year “transitional weather”–meaning it’s too cold for shorts and a tank but too warm for jeans & a tee.
I wore my denim short shorts from American Eagle today–I’ve had them for ages! I added a black blazer & white button down shirt for a more polished look. Adding 5 inch platform pumps made this look somewhat loud so I kept the hair simple–just a high ponytail. I added a pop of color to my lips by using MAC’s Quick Sizzle lipstick which is a gorgeous bright pink!
For arm candy, I used my faux Alexander Wang Rocco bag–I found out about this fabulous bag from Laura. Check out her blog here–I love her style and I figured if Laura can proudly carry her faux Rocco, so can I! *lol* It really is a spacious bag!
So there you have it–simple, chic & the perfect outfit for transitional weather!
Blazer: Target
Shirt: H & M
Shorts: American Eagle
Shoes: Charlotte Russe

Hello Lover. I’m telling you–this lipstick has to be the best Viva Glam lipstick that MAC Cosmetics has EVER produced. I think it looks fabulous on my NW20 skintone. Viva Glam Nicki is a Bright Yellow Pink color that takes on a vibrant mango pink on my lips. LOVEEEEEEEEE. This is going to be my #1 go to lip color this Summer. I want to get another tube as a backup when my birthday rolls around in May
Below you will see an OOTD. For my makeup, I played it safe since I don’t have many bright colors in my winter wardrobe. I paired this lipstick with a very warm & neutral brown smokey eye. It came out better than I expected–it compliments the lipstick perfectly. I am planning on getting some more vibrant colors to add to my Summer wardrobe JUST so I can rock this lipstick more!
An up close look of my makeup–
Viva Glam Nicki on my lips-
The last two weeks have been crazy! Here is an update on what’s been going on–thanks for watching!
VIVA GLAM GAGA!!!!!!! Yes, I’m so late to the party. But I love it now and that’s all that matters.
(Bland but comfy OOTD–I had to do grocery shopping)
I suppose this blog post will be boring for some however, I’m just
know finding myself on the Viva Glam Gaga bandwagon. I originally
bought the lipstick when it first came out last year, but I felt that
it looked a bit lackluster alone. After many months of debating, I
picked up the Viva Glam Gaga lipglass & hoped to pair the lipstick &
lipglass together in hopes of better results (after all, the lipstick
if gorg in the tube).
The verdict? LOVE. I absolutely adore a combo of the two together!
Adding the lipglass over the lipstick really adds a pop of vibrancy.
I paired my Viva Glam Gaga lip combo with a soft, shimmery pink eye
shadow & a cool toned brown eye shadow in the crease. I also added a
touch of pink iridescent glitter–after all, rockin’ Viva Glam Gaga
allows you to push some boundaries

As you can tell from the last few blog posts, I’ve been LOVING MAC products lately. No particular reason…I’ve just found a particular everyday eye look that’s I’m completely smitten with. Here is a video with all of my MAC must haves at the moment!
