Welcome back loves!
This review is on MACs Viva Glam Gaga 2 lipstick and lustre glass.
Getting right into it, I very much like this lipstick, however, it isn't a "must have". Why? Because MAC has comparable nude toned lipsticks in their regular collection.

Below are a few lipstick colors that are in the "nude" family including Gaga 2 ( some with beige undertones and some wiht pink).
In looking at the swatches you can see that Viva Glam Gaga 2 isn't like any of the other colors. This is good! Of all the colors I swatched above, Gaga 2, a neutral beige, is most comparable to Siss, a golden beige.As with most of my nude toned lipsticks (aside from Touch), I have to work with Gaga 2 to make it look appealing. For ladies within my color range ( NW45/ Bobbi Brown Almond 7/ Revlon Photoready in Cappuccino) and darker, we definitely cannot wear this color by itself. It needs to be toned down. I use a brown lip liner (often times MACs Chestnut or Sephora's Chic Choco lip liner)

The Lustre glass partners very well with the lipstick. I only apply it sparingly as too much of this color will not be flattering (with the lipstick).

Of my lip gloss collection, the Gaga 2 Lustreglass is most comparable to MACs Fashion Whim Cremesheen. Being that it's a cremesheen it has a different formula than the Lustreglass.
Final Thoughts:
If you are willing to work with it, Viva Glam Gaga 2 is a very nice lipstick. The lustre glass nicely compliments the lipstick as well.
Because MAC has so many nude toned lipstick colors, owning Viva Glam Gaga 2 isn't a must! It just isn't. You can create very similar looks with Siss.
