Ok ok ok... stop twisting my arm...
Oh and it's double points weekend at Sephora.
Nylon is def dupe material for cyy...Bright pinks are my everyday lipstick so I want them all, so if u either love the neon pink lippies like me or didn't get cyy..I ABSOLUTELY recommend the nylon...I can tell little dif...but itd kind of weird sometimes it will look more like cyy and then sometimes more like the barry m...but the same swatch, not like a thicker one...regardless no matter how picky u are, nylon is worth it. I know I obsessed because no matter what I got, u would see people saying oh cyy is better...and I love my cyys but nylon and barry m are just as bright.

Neondust,

Thanks!

I have CYY but I don't want to use it right now. I'm going to use all of the dupe stuff I purchased during the last several weeks plus work on using my Pink Nouveau, Snob and Pink Friday l/s with the Magenta Madness pigment and Magenta lip liner. My plan of attack this fall is to rotate through my fall lippies - red, oranges, purples, burgundies, and hot pink.
That's a good idea...I have so many lipsticks that I love but I always end up wearing one of about 4 neon lippies. But I continue to buy all these other lipsticks that never get used. I promised my husband after I bout the occ nylon I wouldn't buy any makeup for two months. But then I found 2 of the pastels from the maybelline le collection in some random place at the walgreens...I thought hmmm bogo half off??? It would be wrong for me to not to buy theses! I also really want the lip tar belladonna so I'm not very good at using up lipsticks.

Nylon is definitely more wearable. CYY is drier than hell. It's helped out by Prep+Prime, but still you have to be careful. Nylon is smooth as butter and when it dries down, it still looks great even if your lips aren't at their best.

I missed out on EVERYTHING. I was pretty broke at the moment the collection came out (sadface).
All I really wanted was some Moth Brown & Guacamole! I'll be picking up the Nylon lip tar too since lol, Candy Yum Yum, right.

And in looking at my stash for other bright pinks, I'm a bit upset...I can't find my Quick Sizzle :(

Shontay, i really think you need to like mattes first to like CYY. I typically only wear mattes (and close to mattes), so CYY is def my fav lips product cos i am a neon ho. Im wearing nylon (had to reapply after 2 hours- no food, only water from bottle and being careful), so I am appreciating CYY more for durability on top of the velvet feel. I think they are lieying when they say its online only and limited edition, I really believe thats a marketing strategy. But, Ill buy a back up anyways just in case it is my only option once CYY is gone. Maybe next time i'll layer magenta madness on top, even tho I hate having to put more than "a lippie from the tube" on the lips. It shouldnt be that complicated to wear make up.

I'm with you, Piarpreet. I don't think we should have to use a ton of other products to make another product work. I tend to opt for products that stand well on their own.

murflegirl - let me know if you'd like a Moth Brown. I have extra I know I won't be using.

I wanted to get backstage bambi cause I heard it was a close match to CYY and it looked great it all the pictures and swatches, but it was completely sold out. I wonder if they're going to restock it. I hope so at least.
It's not le...BUT I totally recommend the liquid! I have it but I swatched the lipstick and its no where near as bright as cyy...now even the liquid is not a ccy dupe...it's more of the neon like the wet n wild don't blink pink shade. But the liquid is very matte..it looks like when u add pigment over a lippie to get it to be matte...like the velvet look...but it's fine for me as long as u I use balm under it. I'm not someone who uses balm under lippies...I love matte lips so Im used to them that it doesn't bother me not to add balm...but for the liquid it's a must. But it last forever and is super bright and pretty..It might be my fav and I have cyy, nylon and the barry m shocking pink.

Makeup should be fun and make you feel good...if you want to adjust a lipstick or tone it down by wearing a liner or gloss...do it...personal preference. I tend to gravitate more towards lippies that I can quickly put on and don't require being reapplied often (I'm a little lazy in that department), but I have friends who wear 2 lip liners with a lipstick in order to get it to their liking. I like to spend much more time on my eye makeup than lips, but again I guess everyone is different. How is everyone liking Guacamole? I am so glad I took a chance and ordered it...it is definitely one of me fav green eyeshadows. It also looks great with Moth Brown in the crease.

Thanks for letting me know! It looks like a fun color. I'm definitely going to check it out and pick it up. The sephora near me surprisingly has it in stock (it's a JCP Sephora and they never have what i want).

Just picked up a new green Maybelline Color Tattoo at Target called Ready Set Green (I think)...looks like it would be a great base for Guac! And the green from Hey Sailor looks awesome with it as well.
