You know how I moaned about Mac's lipglasses previously, complaining that they were all sparkle and no pigment? Well I'm willing to take that back now I've tried Viva Glam VI!
Viva Glam VI is one of a series of Viva Glam shades which Mac launches annually, the proceeds of which go towards HIV/AIDS programs worldwide.
The colour in the tube is of a vibrant, pink- red, with the signature lipglass sparkles shimmering throughout. This certainly isn't a gloss for glitterphobes!
When swatched, it maintains it's deep pink-red look, and on the lips it is semi opaque, and much more pigmented than any of the other lipglasses I have tried previously.
In common with prior lipglass experience however, it is very sticky so not the gloss to choose on a windy day! Wear time is impressive for a gloss- at least three hours, mostly due to the stickiness. I did find though that, as the pigment wore off, I was left with a coating of glitter on my lips which was not awfully attractive!
Verdict
A pleasant surprise after my previous lipglass experience, Viva Glam VI offers a combination of decent pigmentation and shimmer with good lasting power. My only negative would be the fact that as it wears off, you are left with glittery lips!

Thanks, I was pleased that it wasn't completely opaque and just gives a lovely shimmery colour.

God, I love this colour. It looks beautiful when layered over the Viva Glam VI lipstick as well, but unfortunately I managed to break that one! D:
