There is nothing better than guilt free shopping… right? What if we told you that there was a product that gave 100% of its profits to fighting the battle against AIDS.
The VIVA GLAM Lipstick entered the market in 1994 to raise money for the M·A·C AIDS Fund. In 21 years, M·A·C Cosmetics has launched seven exclusive VIVA GLAM product lines – comprising of both Lipsticks and Lip-gloss – each product line was identifiable with celebrity superstars such as RuPaul, k.d. Lang, Lil’ Kim, Sir Elton John, Mary J. Blige, Shirley Manson, Linda Evangelista, Boy George, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott, Pamela Anderson, Lisa Marie Presley, Debbie Harry, Eve, Dita Von Teese,
Fergie, Cyndi Lauper, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and most recently Miley Cyrus.
Miley debuted her unique and vibrant range as the 2015 spokesperson for the brand featuring a new lip gloss and lipstick.
The range includes a hot pink lipstick and matching lip-gloss with a pearl shimmer which every GLAMOURzon should use when she wants to add a pop of colour to her daily look – there is one thing we can’t deny, the vibrant colour of the range screams Miley Cyrus!
