MAC’s Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick

On the one hand…yay, there's a less costly duplicate (and one that's easier to get than VG Cyndi, which is periodically out of stock)!! On the other hand…this is part of MAC's Viva Glam line, and all the money from the sale of Viva Glam lipsticks and lipglasses goes to the MAC AIDS Fund, which helps men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS. So I feel a little bit badly about discovering a dupe for a product whose sales-money goes toward a good cause. But…here it is. You can donate the money you save on the lipstick purchase, to the charity of your choice. Or you could get both the MAC and the Morgana color, because while Coraline's Kiss is undeniably wonderful, it doesn't have Cyndi Lauper's autograph on the tube.

Comparison: MAC's Viva Glam Cyndi vs. Morgana's Coraline's Kiss

VG Cyndi is just a tiny bit warmer than Coraline's Kiss, but the color difference is very hard to notice.
