"If I walk outside without lipstick, I feel naked." - Sofia Vergara


Once upon a time, there was this girl who's into makeup products, except bold lipsticks. She wasn't comfortable at people staring at her pout. One day, 3 of her beautiful friends who acted like 3 fairies finally made her try these bad-ass bright lipsticks, and she fell in love. Ever since then, she struts her stuff with her head-turning puckers, changing the world, one bright shade at a time. Now, she's blogging under the name Chilipina :)


This lipstick is probably the best MAC Candy Yum Yum dupe I've encountered, and is also one of my current favorite drugstore pink lipsticks.

Barry M is a UK-based brand that offers a wide variety of makeup products, in a quality that's at par with high-end brands, without the high-end price. 

This particular shade, LP 52, is one of the best dupes for MAC Candy Yum Yum that I've seen so far. Matte (without overtly drying), opaque, and highly pigmented. I believe this came out first before CYY. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

PROS: matte (without drying), opaque, highly pigmented, affordable, shade is pretty close to Candy Yum Yum

CONS: only available online (EBAY, online stores)

VERDICT: 5 out of 5 CHILIS! Though it's not available in our local department store / drugstore, its pretty easy to find this online.

Do you want me to post a comparison of the MAC Candy Yum Yum and it's possible dupes?

Let me know. :)

Drugstore Makeup: Current Favorite Pink Lipstick

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles." - Audrey Hepburn


When I feel like being sweet and girly, I reach for my pink lipstick instead of my usual reds. I notice that I look somewhat "younger" and "fresher" when I wear this shade.


I'm here to share with you my current favorite drugstore pink lipsticks. Why drugstore brands? Because in this day and age, we have to be practical (YES, including me).

When I say current, it means that these are the tubes I reach for these days. This may (well, for sure it will) change, of course. But right now, these are my picks. :)


Please watch out for my individual reviews on these lipsticks. :)
