Ultimate favorite pink lipsticks

Hello everyone :)

I know I've said that I'll be posting regularly but I didn't-I'm sorry, my bad. My February had gone crazy-totally crazy. The weather was bad and so is my asthma allergies.

Anyways, I wanted my first post this March to be a "happy post" so I'll be reviewing two of my ultimate favorite pink lipstick. This will be a heavy photo post so be aware, hihi :)

Hail to the brightest NARS Schiap and MAC Candy Yum Yum!

look how gorgeous they are :)

Their brightness is just awesome.

gorgeous shades of pink.

I sometimes need a sunglasses :) 

This is the gorgeous MAC Candy Yum Yum, my second tube actually. I had my first tube when CYY is still the most coveted Limited Edition. I wanted it the first time I saw it on Nordstrom website. This is my definition of hot pink lips. During the first few times that I used it, I got lots of questions from women of all ages at the mall. I felt proud ha ha :) And I was happy back then that it is a limited edition, selfish as it may seem but I used to think that if it's not LE then everyone in the world would be in CYY. That was until I'm down with a few swipes of my beloved CYY. I was scared that I might lose my perfect pink forever. And I was at my happiest when the good angels of MAC made it one of  their permanent line.

MAC Candy Yum Yum is a blue based neon pink with a matte finish. It is drying at times (not every time) and I usually apply a thin coat of moisturizing lip balm before putting this on.  Tagged as the most show stopping MAC shade, CYY is opaque, creamy pigmented and lost lasting. If you love bold lips, this goes straight to that level.

It's a different story when it comes to my NARS Schiap. It's not really my first choice. I was on a lipstick high when I came across this gorgeous tamed bright pink. 

I was eyeing her sister NARS Carthage when the SA insisted that Schiap is more saleable. So to amuse her I put on Schiap on my upper lip and Carthage on my lower lip and walked around the mall like a crazy lady with a two toned lipstick. But I didn't mind as I was testing the longevity and staying power of both lipstick. After a few hours walking and talking and in between meals, I came back at the NARS counter and told the lady that I want the NARS Carthage, she seems disappointed but I didn't care. I went straight to the register, pay and walked passed NARS counter again to try the NARS Schiap this time on my full lips. I headed home after.

I arrived home safely and right after I parked I checked my lips on the rear view mirror and boy! This is the loveliest tamed pink I had ever seen. Regrets came rushing! A week after that day, I finally have this. :)

just gorgeous! 

it looks so perfect on the black tube :)

NARS Schiap is a cool tone blue based pink lipstick. It always bring a happy vibe to me. It has a semi matte effect and highly pigment but not drying formula. It brings total opacity on first swipe. I feel like I'm on my twenties when I wear it. It lasts for a few hours on my lips with meals in between. It is a very wearable pink lipstick.

look how pigmented they are :)

gorgeous is understatement :)

If you're a pink lover like me, then NARS Schiap and MAC Candy Yum Yum must have a permanent space on your make up bag. Just complete the look with a simple "no make up, make up look" and your lips will perfectly stand out. Teehee!

Hope you enjoyed. Til next :)
