I love lipsticks by MAC Cosmetics, if not solely, for their vanilla scent. They smell seriously delicious. I recently picked up MAC's 'Viva Glam I' lipstick and on their websites recommendation, a lip pencil in the shade 'Brick'.
Viva Glam is a rich, medium-dark, old Hollywood kind of red with some subtle hues of brown, which gives it a muted cool feel. I love this shade so much that I've worn it on multiple occasions already (including the school run with the kids).

I've wore this lipstick practically the entire day. Between running errands, coffee breaks, lunch, work and a school run, I only had to reapply once! The light matte feel was reassuring in the sense that I wasn't constantly topping up. Only negative is that, despite its staying power, it can smudge a little if you're not careful. Give me a dark lipstick that doesn't smudge and I'd be eternally happy. Currently on the market for a burgundy lip.
I liked the liner, although I don't know if I'd use it with every application as I think the lipstick lasts well enough on its own. But Brick does compliment Viva Glam I perfectly and they blend well together, so if you were conflicted over what lip liner to choose then, I'd say, Brick is definitely the one.
Viva Glam I is the right shade of 'sultry vamp' meets 'red carpet glamour'. I like the fact that this lipstick gives my look a darker edge than, say, a strikingly bright red. I can wear it during the day with neutral eyes or at night with a more smoky look. It's flexible and allows for you to dress it up or down. Viva Glam I gets a definite recommendation.
My complexion is fair with a slight undertone of yellow and this lipstick suits me just fine. Combined with my long dark hair and some minimal eye make-up, you really can't go wrong.
