As most of you may know, singer, songwriter, fashionista and producer Lady Gaga has really been making waves in the music charts across the world. She’s won numerous awards, broke various records, and kept everyone talking with her crazy outfits and catchy tracks.

However recently Gaga teamed up with Cyndi Lauper to become ambassadors of cosmetic brand M.A.C’s “Viva Glam”. Viva Glam is M.A.C’s special brand aimed at raising money to fight AIDs across the globe. You can find out more about the the charity here, and shop the whole range here.

Together, to celebrate becoming ambassadors, the pair created two limited edition lustre lipsticks, Viva Glam Cyndi and Viva Glam Gaga. At £12.50 ($14) a pop , Cyndi’s lipstick is a berry pink shade, meanwhile Gaga’s is a much lighter, bubblegum colour.

As a Gaga fan and someone who will support a good cause, I decided to try out Viva Glam Gaga, despite not being much of a lipstick wearer – I’m more into what goes on my eyes than my lips (they’re thin, so Im scared I’ll look like a little girl playing with mum’s makeup). Anyway, I bit the bullet and gave it a try, here’s my run down.

Looks like I already broke that resolution then. I suppose I have news I can share with you, but to make it easier to your eyes I will bullet point it.

• I write on The Next Web (.com and UK channels) now and then about internet-related tech. The stories generally go down quite well as I like fishing out the quirky news. View my archive here and here. As you can see, my updates haven’t been quite as regular due to it being my last year at uni, so various things such as dissertation work, student newspaper stories and general uni essays have gotten in my way. Speaking of student publication…
• … The student newspaper I am Culture Editor for – The Linc –  now has a magazine supplement inside. The Linc Magazine will contain Culture, Lifestyle and Fashion articles, and I look forward to you reading the Culture section…
• The Linc was also nominated for a BBC Innovation Award. Although we came back empty handed, it was great to be recognised.
• I am looking for some more work experience. Newspaper, magazine, online, I don’t mind what you are, I’ll do it!]
• Er… I turned 21. I also got some Lady GaGa (I’m a big fan, okay?) tickets. Maybe I’ll take my nice camera with me to the gig, I haven’t got that far yet.
• I’m also thinking of starting up another blog. I guess you could call it a news blog, but I think theres a couple of legalities I need to work out before setting it up.

Well, that’s about all I can think to fill you in on. Enjoy reading my archives on the website I just dropped to you, come back soon, as I’m going to start adding little bits and bobs from the web that I find interesting etc that I’m sure you will enjoy. Plus, I’ll actually update more instead of being lazy.

I would say Happy Valentines, only I’m not into that ‘holiday’ so happy Sunday!
