Love this! You have the best dupes and reviews…your #1 for a reason!! 🙂
Thank you, Kristina! xo
I have both CYY and Nylon and I love them both!
If you had to recommend one over the other, which would you recommend?
Those are all nicer than Candy Yum Yum IMO!
Always good to have options 🙂
agree!
I have Candy Yum Yum but I still want Sephora Radiant Rush and Bite Beauty Moscato. They are so gorgeous!
They are! 🙂
You just proved to me that of course I need Bite Moscato since it’s so vibrant (though I’ve wanted it since I saw your review). I own Nylon and Candy Yum Yum and love them both 🙂
Great swatches and I love seeing how similar the shades are.
Thanks, Phyrra 😀
Great timing.. Okay, this is perfect timing (read: pre Sephora sale) and gives me a better idea on the Bite product. Looks like it might be more wearable for my complexion as it doesn’t look as intensely blue based as Candy Yum Yum. Excellent comparison photos.
Thanks, Wendy 🙂 Hope it works out for you!
Are there no drugstore dupes yet?
There are more dupes if you click “view more dupes” from the post – we just pulled out the top three closest.
Maybelline Fuchsia Fever is very close, look it up. It’s a tad darker and has a sheen to it. It’s not exact, but it’s pretty darn close!
hehe i think you meant fuchsia flash?
but yes, that’s almost similar to candy yum yum!:)
All of these are perfect dupes, thanks Christine!!! 🙂 Too bad that the MAC alternatives aren’t easily available here.
Aww, bummer!!
Neon pink is something that my lipstick collection still lacks… 😀 I really wish we had Bite beauty here!
They’re gaining momentum, so maybe soon!
This dupe list feature is EVERYTHANG!!!!!! 🙂
My purse says thanks LOL!
Haha! 😉 You’re welcome, purse!
I’ve been really into blue toned pink lipstick and I think will be my new lust list.
Uh oh 😉
Wow – lots of dupes! I only own Candy Yum Yum out of all the shades featured here and I love it.
It’s such a fun shade to wear!
Isnt it interesting how very few of the dupes are drugstore brands?
Maybelline had a great one, but it was LE, unfortunately. I wouldn’t be surprised if NYX had a couple – their range is expansive, but I don’t have most of it.
They have a few available, and i have some but I dont know their names off by heart. Its too bad because I often rock candy yum yum to school and always get a ton of compliments, and my friends are always sad when they cant find a drugstore dupe.
Thanks for this, Christine! I would have never known (or even think!) CYY has this *many dupes!
I think part of it is how crazy people went for it when MAC first rolled it out!
