The gloss looks so much like Caliente lipstick (From Temperature Rising). I didnt like that one on me, it was sooo sparkly and pretty in the bullet though.

Good call on the comparison! Caliente was my mom's favorite lipstick and it was fabulous on her. She's not really a gloss fan, but if the color is right she may be into it!

The lipgloss came a whole day early on Friday. I just looked on Saks site and the lipstick is up. Just ordered. So nice to get this without a fuss.

My lipstick arrived today. The color is very familiar. Looks like an old school mac color. I can't quite place it. Fetish maybe. I think Fetish was lighter though. Edit - Chintz maybe??? Maybe one of the limited edition lipsticks. It doesn't look like the Temptalia pic on me at all. Not as warm on me. I quite like it as I used to love those colors.

Finally after years they have a VG spokeswoman I don't hate and the first color was too similar to a few I already have and this one is too.

I can't believe the Fruity collection still isn't on clearance.

Ordered them both from Nordies not too long ago.

Then from Macy's to pick up in store an hour later. Trying to cancel the Nordies.

I have the metallic lipstick Acts So Cool from the collection of metallic lipsticks MAC put out this summer. Based on the pictures of the Taraji 2 VG lipstick I have seen online, Acts So Cool is a pretty close dupe! Very excited for this discovery because I have so many items on my makeup want list right now, I think I can skip this VG launch.

I love Acts So Cool, and I definitely will be comparing it to T2! Combined with Mariah OOC I have the triumvirate of metallic lipsticks lol

Taraji2 is a MUCH richer pigmented lipstick/color. It's a neutral copper whereas Acts So Cool is a cool tone dark bronze. I couldn't even build up Acts So Cool to match the richness of Taraji2! I was surprised, I thought they would be be dupes lol!

Thank you for the comparision! The Taraji2 color sounds amazing.

I had to get this. It's such a gorgeous "molten" metallic--it looks regal and powerful! This also is the first brown lipstick added to my stash, since a lot of brown lipsticks either look too yellowed or reddish on me to work well.

Loving this lipstick. For a MAC metallic finish, it is pretty opaque and pigmented. Really loving this color bronzey brown color.

I bought conspiracy for my kit. it's awesome.

I am going to have to decide between getting this Viva Glam lipstick vs Urban Decay's Vice lipstick in the color Conspiracy. Conspiracy has been on my wishlist for a while. Depending on the swatch, some pics of Conspiracy make it look more like a reddish bronze, while some pictures make it look more like a straight up brown bronze. I wonder how red the Taraji Viva Glam is, but in most pics it looks more on the brown side. I guess i'll have to wait to swatch it at the MAC counter before i decide.
