As with all MAC lipsticks, the packaging is sleek, smart and strong. It will put up with knocking about in my handbag for days and weeks at a time. The bullet is well shaped so that it's easy to apply straight away with precision. In the tube, Candy Yum Yum is a bright, shocking pink. I can imagine people might be a bit freaked out by how bold it is but for me, the brighter the better!

On application, it's a matte finish but not quite as super matte as Ruby Woo. This is a positive as it's not as drying, although it does highlight any flakes or chaps- Definitely use a lip scrub before applying! The colour is as bold as you would expect- an almost neon, Barbie blue-based pink.I absolutely love it! Let's not forget the lovely MAC vanilla scent!
It stays in place for hours, even after eating and drinking. It's so worth paying £15 for the durability and pigmentation. I think this might be my new favourite lipstick!
Such a fab colour!!

DeleteI am intrigued by MAC lipsticks, (I still have yet to take the plunge and try one), heard a lot about this shade, tis quite popular. Surprised to hear that it's so durable. I know they're meant to be good quality lipsticks too I just haven't tried them out yet xD

I wasn't expecting to look so "bluey" actually. It looks so vibrant and pretty though :) I like it! Can't wait for Lime Crime Pink Velvet too, so you can compare them ahah ^^
ReplyDeleteIt's fab on you hun. I'm a bit scared of pink but do love a bright red lipstick. MAC Russian Red is my fave xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous shade on you! I absolutely love it and totally agree it's such a 'barbie' pink lipstick. It inspired an entire tutorial for me, haha! On a really bad day this can be drying for me, but most of the time it's really good with a bit of lip balm underneath! Love it!
