Hello guys!! Thank God It's Friday!!! whoop!

Today is battle day on the MakeUpTales! A battle between two lipsticks I recently discovered had ridiculous similarities! I'm talking about MAC Candy Yum-Yum and our very own Zaron Sweet kiss!! I'm so excited about this because, it is an international, widely known, old brand vs a  new Nigerian makeup brand!! Ok, lets get to it!!










MAC CANDY YUMYUM



 This is described as a matte moisturizing lipstick. I would personally describe this is a true pink. It has more pink undertones than blue..which makes it just a TEENY WEENY BIT lighter than MAC Candy yum yum! It is Matte but drier than the MAC Candy Yumyum but not as dry as RubyWoo because it doesnt tug at the lips. The packaging could be better, but at the price you really can't complain! The scent..hmm. is not my cup of tea..I think it is supposed to be fragrance free, but still has some sort of subtle scent I don't like, but it isn't bad at all. It has a good staying power, applies well, great texture and very buildable

Side by side.. the similarity is scary!

 SWATCHES
I swatched these two babies..

MAC Candy yum yum

Zaron sweet kiss

You see how I didn't layer the lipstick and they both look faint? This is why I dont like pink lipsticks. If i try to layer on w/o using a lip liner, lool you'll run away from me.. they just don't flatter me, they make my lips look bigger...the only pink lipstick I feel safe with right now is MAC's Girl About Town!

SIMILARITIES
They are both bright eye catching pinks
They are both matte
The both contain 3g of product
They both have great pigmentation, texture, staying power and application

DIFFERENCES
Candy yumyum has a sweet vanilla scent, Sweet Kiss' scent isn't as sweet
Sweet Kiss is a bit drier/matter than candy yumyum
Candy Yum Yum is more expensive ( at about N3,800-4500) while Sweet Kiss is less expensive (at about 1500-2200)

Summary




I wont be crowning the Candy Yum yum king in this post, though I'll reach for it  more than Zaron Sweet Kiss ONLY  because, it is not as dry. If you don't have dry lips, this wouldn't be a problem at all!! If you are looking to save some money, but still want that fabulous look.. yeah you know the Zaron Sweet Kiss is a good option!!


Hope you enjoyed this review!!

* WHERE TO BUY:
I'm an official distributor of Zaron, so you can contact me if you are looking to purchase this lipstick
The last time I checked,  most sites and even the MAC store at the Ikeja mall,  didnt have the Candy yum yum.... I usually get most of my MAC lipsticks ( esp the scarce and the limited edition ones) at THE WOW FACTOR STUDIO by Remi'Leimu! They stock a very wide range of ORIGINAL Mac products and other brands at good prices..You can reach them at: 08057775749.
