You are not a certified MAC girl if you haven't heard of Candy Yum Yum.
MAC Candy Yum Yum was first released in the MAC Quite Cute Collection. It caused such a huge buzz and craze that it was literally sold out within minutes! Now why did it cause the said hype?
Its a bright, as in neon, pink lipstick in matte finish; its the ultimate Barbie pink lipstick. It has a hint of purple undertones, but the pink is still dominant. Its also opaque and long wearing.
MAC did a survey of which colors do MAC fans would love to be reproduced / re-promoted, and of course, Candy Yum Yum bagged the most votes. So this month, it will be launched in the MAC By Request Collection. Hopefully, enough stock will reach Philippine shores., though we have to wait for maybe a month or 2 for that.
I'm sorry for this rather unprepared post. It's been raining like crazy outside so I couldn't shoot anything in our balcony.
-----------
Candy Yum Yum is now a part of the permanent colors. It is usually available, but there are days its "out of stock". I believe you can only purchase this on MAC's website.

Please take note that Candy Yum Yum was only swiped once in the comparison swatches.
I still believe that Barry M Lip Paint in 52 (Shocking Pink) is the best dupe I've found for Candy Yum Yum.

Oh I badly want this one. Too bad its limited edition and out of stock! It looks good on you. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI tend to go for pinks with my lipsticks and this shade is a really nice one. It looks good on you too!
ReplyDeleteRevlon Super Lustrous in Wild Orchid is a pretty good dupe too, I'd say. Maybe it's slightly more blue-tinged but pretty close! Candy Yum Yum is on my wishlist though!
ReplyDeleteI love! Its so Nicki Minaj :D
ReplyDeleteNice post!
XoXo,

Pretty color! Which one of the dupes has less blue undertones? Tried the Milani one but it didn't suit me cause it looks purple.
ReplyDeleteTry NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa :)
DeleteCandy Yum Yum is pretty. #1 of my christmas wishlist. I hope stocks are still available.
