*___* MAC should have used your picture for the Quite Cute collection! Hot pink really suits you.. And I really love my Candy yum yum too ... who doesn't??I'm wearing the Candy Yum Yum face chart with pink swoon on the cheeks.I'm absolutely in love with this lipstick, and I've been wearing it out since the collection released.

you and me both, I am stalking them. My only solace is that I have Gulabi, even though I know it is not quite the same.
^ Let's hope the restock on the MAC website. I'm gonna keep an eye out

I got my goodies in the mail today! I love all of it too! I'm a bit dissapointed that I didn't get pins with my order though, especially as it seems a few other ladies bought about as much as I did and got them. Oh well though, after seeing them I wasn't as excited about them anyways! But I was super excited and in love with what I got! So, here's my in-put:
Sakura: pretty and natural looking on my cheeks, it's not here I am or totally unpigmented. Although I'll have to try it out in a look tomorrow to really test it to it's full limits! It does give me a nice glowy cheek look though, and it just generally looks fresh and lovely! It's definitely very sweet looking! It doesn't accentuate the pores on my cheeks either!The powder fall out is a bit much though, I can definitely imagine it cracking easily if dropped! The looks in general are just stunning, the little heart is absolutely adorable! I love the lighter lavender color on the outside and I'm wondering if it would work as an eyeshadow over a good base, will definitely be trying that!
Quite Cute: I was so absolutely frightened when I saw so many reviews saying they disliked it, but I love it! I was worried I wouldn't suit the color, but I thought it was really pretty! It layered easily for me, and didn't look streaky on my lips even though they're a tad dry right now. This lipstick is fabulous for layering too. Right now I'm wearing a little of it over Lazy Day (a light pink) and it's really pretty. It also looks fantastic over Playtime, the other lipstick I got. It creates a seriously amazing purple with a few swipes over top of it! I wasn't quite prepared for how awesome it looks, if you've got both definitely try it!
Playtime: Very pretty, definitely not super pigmented, but again can be built up. I like lipstick that can go on sheer or be built up so then I can get more looks out of it. It's a lovely pinky purple on the lips! Again, fresh and pretty. Perfect for Spring! I feel like this collection is so girly, soft and feminine. Also, the girls that compared this to the new Covergirl lipstick Divine are definitely off. They look way different! Playtime is much lighter, sheerer, and a bit less berry toned. Divine goes on very bright and opaque on my lips, and stains them a lot. It also has a bit more darker pinker berry tone to it, and is much darker in general. Even built up, Playtime has a much lighter and more purple look. Divine might be a closer match to Up the Amp, although I do not have it to compare. Divine is very pretty as well, and for a cheap lipstick is great with really good staying power!
This collection is going to look awesome for Easter! I kinda want the palette and Candy Yum Yum now! lol

my 2nd quite cute haul came in the mail. It was only the Play Time lipstick. Im so glad i got it! its nothing like Up the Amp. i was scared at first because people were saying that it was really sheer, but it really evened out my pigmented, uneven lips, so i was happy about that.
Oh and another thing is that i got 4 pins again!! like seriously why is mac making people think they gotta spend over 75 bucks to get the pins. smh.
im still playing around with my candy yum yum before i decide to post pics lol. i love that it isnt as drying as my other mac matte lipsticks. thank goodness.

I looked at the swaps at MUA. About half of the CYY's listed under the swap section are people looking for CYY, not swapping it - which is more than a little annoying. Of the rest of the ones listed for actual swapping, a bunch are by people with either no tokens and/or really new members. I saw four or five listed where I would be comfortable swapping with that individual. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but items that are in high demand, like CYY, really bring out the swaplifters unfortunately. Just be careful if you arrange a swap for it. Most swappers are legit, but some aren't.
I'm going to take my chances that Mac either restocks CYY at some point or will re-promote it with another collection down the road. It would be insane not to, judging by how quickly it sold out. I love the one I have and know that I'll actually use this one up, unlike most of my lipsticks. I get compliments every time I wear it, which at my advanced age and state of decrepitude, makes it a necessary item in my train case.

i have i was just suggesting for the girls who really want it. i didnt realize most people there were requesting it not offering it in swap.
Couldnt we sign a petition or something to restock it????....( i know this sounds stupid but there is something called "offer demand...and viceversa"!!!!!)

Usually Mac will either restock an item or re-promote it, if it's that popular (see Parrot, Moth Brown, Stereo Rose, etc etc) eventually. If it's not re-promoted, then they release a close dupe of the item (see Coco pigment = Subtle pigment). That's why I don't do evilbay or pay outrageous prices for an item anymore. If you're patient and the item is popular, then you'll see some form of it again.
