Review: Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Shame

Hello Dolls!
Today I bring you a review on one of the new Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks! I picked one up last week at my local Sephora after waiting for them to be stocked. 

Urban Decay release 22 brand new shades of lipstick to their already vast cosmetics line last month. 
Ranging from the simplest nude to the most beautiful dark plums. They're all marketed to be highly pigmented with a hint of "creamy shiny", long lasting and lip nourishing. 

Packaging: 
The lipsticks all come in a purple box with the Urban Decay logo and product name in silver, which tends to be UD signature packaging. On the box the lipstick shade name is written on a sticker that is the same color as the lipstick. 

 

The lipstick packaging itself is just beautiful!!
 The bullet is a amazing rose gold color with "Urban Decay" inscribed into the side and "UD" inscribed on the lid. The shade color is placed on a sticker at the bottom. The inside case that holds the lipsticks is a nice metallic maroon/purple shade that's a nice contrast to the elegant rose gold exterior. 

The packaging itself seems to be quite durable and heavy duty. UD did not skimp on the packaging for these lipsticks!

Review: MAC Candy Yum Yum

Hello Dolls! By now a lot of you have probably heard a lot of people talking about MAC's Candy Yum Yum Lipstick. This lipstick came out with an old collection and gained a huge fan base, so much so that when put up agaisnt other limited edition lipstick the public voted it to become permanent. I had heard of this lipstickf from many bloggers and vloggers but never really gave it much though. Falling into the bandwagon I went to order it last month but it was sold out. Everywhere!!! Finally it was back in stock and I picked it up.

Packaging:
 The packaging for this lipstick is just like every other MAC Lipstick/Product. It comes in black box that feels like a combination of cardstock and cardstock embossed with white script. There is nothing special about this packaging. Unlike the pro eyeshadow packaging there is absolutely nothing I don't like about this packaging. It's sturdy and if anything does happen to the package nothing will happen to the actual product.


Product:
Candy Yum Yum is described on the MAC website as a neon pink. While this it is a bright pink I wouldn't necessarily call it "neon". This is a matte lipstick, but with almost a satin finish. It isn't drying at all. In the tube it looks more like a bright hot pink, but when swatched it comes out more of a brightt baby pink. It comes out opaque at the first swipe but is still buildable to brighter more opaque consistency.
