If there's such a thing as lipstick authority, I think MAC will win by a landslide victory. My search for bright neon pink lipstick has ended the minute I swiped this gorgeous. This color has one too many reviews that's why I was in two minds whether to publish another post but hey! this is by far the BEST PINK LIPSTICK I've ever had, hence it deserves an exposure!
DETAILS:
MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum
Available at: MAC Stores (got mine at Rustan's Makati)
Price: Php 1,000
CMK HAPPY THOUGHTS:
☺Pigmented. MAC is known for that. Add to the fact that this is matte. Staying power is 4 to 5 hours, generally.
☺Color Pop! You can leave the rest of your
face of the day (FOTD) colors neutral with this lipstick on.
☺Hint of Vanilla. I'm a sucker for scents and I definitely love vanilla. Yum Yum is the word!
CMK WISHFUL THOUGHTS:
☻Drying. The downside of matte lipsticks. You can always
apply petroleum jelly or lip conditioner to compensate.
☻Hefty Tag. You know what I mean.
☻Availability. I rummaged MAC Mall of Asia and
asked Duty Free Philippines but they didn't have any stock. Never frown, Shang and Rustan's Makati has stocks though :)
CMK THINKS:
If there's anything I've learned about beauty products so far:
"Quality make up generally costs much."
For me, I'd rather have few quality items than
more low standard makeup products.
What's your take on this? :) -CMK
I totally agree with this "Quality make up generally costs much." :) I have been in a search for that perfect pink lipstick bec. I'm planning to wear pink lipcolor on my friend's debut party. :) But I think I couldn't afford mac lippies :( So thats why I will search for a more affordable version of this color. But if I have enough money, I wont think twice :)
ReplyDeleteHey! Maybelline Fuchsia Fever is a good dupe :D You may also want to try BYS "I don't Pink So" :)
DeleteWOW thanks for the recommendation! :D
DeleteWant to buy this in the future! :)
ReplyDeleteA good quality really costs too much, in any product. Love the pink shade of this lippy! :D But I prefer MAC Russian Red. Someone told me their matte lipsticks don't make your lips dry cause they're normally creamy, :O
ReplyDeleteI normally apply lip balm first before applying any shade. ;D
It looks so nice on you Kristine. I've ordered this from an online seller. Can't wait to get my hands on it :D
ReplyDeletePS. I hope you still remember me :D , zen zest event ^_^
Hi Genzel! Of course I do remember! :) Hope to see you again soon ♥
DeleteCandy Yum Yum is my current favorite now. I love it to bits! Pink kung pink :D
Hi Cristine,
ReplyDeleteI apply petroleum jelly to compensate with drying when I use MAC Matte Lipstick. Aside from drying, I have no other bad reviews about this product.
