On January 25th, a new lipstick that was made in a collaborative effort between popular singer Sia and MAC will hit store shelves, as a part of the cosmetic brand's Viva Glam series, which boasts products from a number of other stars, including rapper Nikki Minaj.
As with other Viva Glam products, 100% of the proceeds from product purchases will go towards AIDS research. With December 1st marking World AIDS Day, the recent launch of the Sia and MAC lipstick is likely to get a lot of traction from consumers who are looking to support the fight against the disease. The lipstick is a warm shade of crimson that goes well with all skin tones, and comes in a black tube that's branded with the singer's name in red lettering.
