A Nicki Minaj inspired look using Viva Glam Nicki!

I'm sooo excited I got my Viva Glam Nicki in the mail today!!!  I was lucky enough to get a code e-mailed to me from MAC so I could get this lipstick before it releases on the 15th and of course, since I love Nicki, I had to get it haha.  I got the "Pink Friday" lipstick when she released it a little over a year ago.  Apparently if Nicki releases a lipstick, I MUST own it haha.  I obviously had to do a look using this new lipstick so I went with a look inspired by Nicki Minaj!!

I believe it's her Super Bass video where she has yellow on her lids and I very rarely wear yellow so I definitely wanted to try that!

What I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Maybelline Color Tattoo "Fierce & Tangy" as a base

Sugarpill "Buttercupcake" 

"Naked" and "Sin" from Urban Decay's Naked palette

MAC Blacktrack fluidline

L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

Ardell "Hotties" lashes

(I know the lashes are COMPLETELY 100% wrong but they're the only really long lashes I had on hand, so I just went with it!)!

Lips:

Viva Glam Nicki lipstick

This lipstick is gorgeous!  It's a bright pink color that pulls coral

Swatched compared to other pinks I own

As you can see, it's quite similar to Covergirl Lip Perfection lipstick "Fairytale" it's more pink while Fairytale is a bit more red.  It's very different from her "Pink Friday" lipstick, which I put on with this yellow look I did and turns out I like it better paired with the yellow shadow (I'm thinking it's because it's such a purpley pink).

I have to say that I really love this Viva Glam Nicki though and I think it's a color that will look good on everyone!  It releases on Feb. 15th so make sure you're on the lookout for it!  Also, in case you didn't already know, it is a Viva Glam lipstick which 100% of the proceeds go to funding AIDS research.  So all $14.50 goes to a great cause and you get a beautiful lipstick.  Who could ask for more?

*Edit*:  Thinking about this post made me realize that this look I did is very similar to a look Kassie from Unique Desire did a while ago using Lime Crime Cosmetics (hers is just slightly more pastel).  So definitely check her look out!!
