Can someone compare Candy Yum Yum & Quick Sizzle side by side?
I found my precious quick sizzle last night! It's got an amazing formula - matte but very very creamy.
Any similarities at all or am I off my rocker?

neondust - your lashes are great! I really like all 3 lippies on you, but that Kat Von D has really caught my eye.

dabeautyenabler - Rocker was made for you.
Thank u! I'm not used to them being noticed anymore...I know mine are long but taking ure makeup off and vaseline every night really helps, I was actually quite surprised at how much the vaseline helped to keep them strong..All that mascara dries them out...seems so simple but it does! I really love my kat von d! It's prob my favorite. I LOVE matte. Even after I put these up I thought how much I loved it because it's so matte, and it doesn't take much for that color to be so strong! After I got it a few days later miley cyrus tweeted about it and it's crazy how many more google images came up compared to before she did.

Is OCC Nylon officially a dupe for CYY? Have you tried Nylon on your lips? Did you like it?

I LOVE Nylon. It applies sooo smoothly and I love the minty smell. I can see why people rave about these - I might have to pick a few more...dozen....

I do love CYY but Nylon applies so much easier, even though they both require a lip brush.
First picture: CYY, Second picture: Nylon. Both with a clear gloss on top (sorry, it's an addiction, I can't have matte lips, drives me caraaazy!) and uh tired eyes call for eyeglasses.

from your pic i cant tell the difference between cyy and nylon. on you they look equally pretty with the gloss!! and i agree i love cyy but i have been wearing nylon since i got it on friday and plan on getting more liptars. i have dry lips and you cant tell when i wear nylon, its like more forgiven than cyy. by the way i got 2 backups of nylon!

I can't tell the difference either, except Nylon seems a bit more built up, just in the pics. But aside from that, they are definite dupes for me.

I used a clean disposable doe foot applicator for the clear gloss on both of them, so there shouldn't be any other colors interfering with the color of the lipstick and lip tars themselves. I just like the feeling of a gloss or smooth texture on the lips, so putting the gloss on is totally just my personal preference, but when I do the clear gloss it's more for the texture rather than to change the color of the lipstick.

I did not use a lip liner with Nylon, but I used NYX's Dolly Pink for CYY. I used MAC Prep + Prime for both

I got two BUs of Nylon, too! And I'm glad I did. I have one BU of CYY, but I'm sooo glad I have mooooore in the dupe world with Nylon! Nylon is just easier to get it on the lips without it settling into the lip lines.

I'll be getting Nylon tomorrow, I'll compare it to Pink Pigeon then :)

You're welcome! Your pink lipsticks look gorgeous on you btw! I was going to get Backstage Bambi the other day on sephora.com, but I checked yesterday and it was sold out again. Ahh well. I'm going to force myself on a no-buy here anyway, except I might get the purple lipstick coming out next week, after that I'm done until Marilyn!
I actually really like 06, but it does photograph as being a coral/orange. I just love the smell of Rimmel lipsticks anyway, and they're a little on the sheer side. I'm sorry it's not working for you!
I've skipped out on Ruby Woo and Lady Danger. RW I just don't feel compelled to buy and LD I have Sail La Vie and Scarlet Ibis, so I don't feel I need to add Lady Danger to my stash because of the other two.

Edit: I forgot to include. I DO find CYY a little more drying than my other mattes, but it is not unbearably dry. I would say I get about an hour and a half of wear before I feel like my lips are drying out. Pink Pigeon and Ruffian Red last longer than that on me, and don't feel as drying.


Dabeautyenabler: I love all your looks! Stunning! I especially love the Rocker look you've done!
It's more of a warm color, so they usually don't look good on me. I have a couple lipsticks I under estimated the warmer tones with that I will never wear. There all drugstore ones though. I think it happens like that because I a small issue with makeup shopping and I can't even go to grocery store without searching the same lipsticks I have looked at 50 other times, and think oh maybe this will look good...but it never works that way. I swear it will look one way in the store and a complete other once I get it home! I really like the smell too...I really actually liked how they felt also. I actually just bought one yeaturday the 04 which is like vamped out purple, I add a little of one of the 3 neons (cyy, nylon, barrym) and a little wne dollhouse pink and it makes a really nice purple toned..speaking of WHAT PURPLE LIPSTICK? I LIKE PURPLE!

Neons always look so much brighter on darker skin! My daughter is by- racial, I'm always making her try stuff on because I love BRIGHT lips and she makes them all look eye searingly bright! JEALOUS! LOVE IT ON U!

to use cyy i have to sleep with a balm or terdertone. use sugar scrub, use prep&prime and then i line my lips with embrace me lip liner. now with nylon i just use to p&p, the lip brush and im good to go. ill try a lip liner next time to see how the color alters. nylon is now going to be like my everyday pink and cyy my special occasion pink.
i saw that xsparkage? uses cyy with a gloss as well. i feel like trying that now. do you use the mac clear gloss??
