MAC describes this as a rosy bright pink. I find that it's quite a pretty shade of coral pink but not as bright as MAC's Speed Dial, which is more of a blue pink. If MAC's Angel was too pale, one could try this colour instead. I didn't notice the purplish undertones that some have mentioned but I did notice the gold shimmer that can make this colour look a bit too frosty and too 'metallic looking' under certain lighting. Besides this, it can look a bit peachy/corally in some lights. Also, since it's a frost, it can be pretty drying. It's a pretty pink though and I would consider buying it again if I can't find better alternatives.

This is, indeed, a nice pink shade but I was expecting something more unique. I have super warm skin and it goes quite well with my coloring; my only complaint is that Bombshell appears a little mauvey on my lips. I personally can't see the gold undertones, so I wouldn't call it a Frost. Overall, I like it but I won't repurchase, I used to have nicer colors. Sorry MAC!

If anything, this lippie brings me some very wild memories.. lol.

I was doing some photo shoots in the Caribbean and for the first time in my life, got a bit of sun so that I looked "bronzey".. yea. On my trips back and forth I hung around duty free at the airport and found Bombshell.. and bought it. I wanted a pink/golden look to offset my new bronzey skin.. and yes, this gave it to me.

I have fond memories of wearing this lipstick.. or where I was -- dancing reggae at dawn, swimming and being very free. Good times... good lippie.

Will I repurchase? nope, too many dupes out there but if you want good times, call Bombshell.

I got this as a B2M along with wonderstruck lustreglass and I love pairing them together, a very awesome pink combo. I really like this lippie, I like the tone of the pink, its bright and cheerful when you having a bummer day, I live the little sparkle it has, but I love shiney, glittery, sparkely things lol

I am sorry to say that I am not a fan of this one. It is a cool-toned medium pink with lots of heavy golden shimmer. Too frosty and barbie-like for my skin tone ( NC20) and personality. It is definitely an 80s shade. The formula is very drying. I wear it from time to time, esp when I am tanned but I would not repurchase.

This is a great pink for us fair girls with very pigmented lips. It adds a great pink with gold pearl to our lips and just looks very gorgeous. It's one of my favorite MAC lipsticks.

This is a really nice spring summer color, I love wearing when I'm going for a fresh face look or have little makeup on as I feel it brightens up my face. Its a beautiful berry pink with hints of coral and gold, very pretty. The only reason this loss a lippie is I love l/s that I can place on my lip and have it look amazing and go. On my NC25-NC30 asian skin tone a find I have to play around with it and add certain glosses until I am comfortable with wearing it. A great lipstick I think everyone should have in their collection to brighten up their face or even layer on for a more played up look. I just don't go for it for everyday

Great shade! Looks like a pinkish-berry shade on my NC30 skin. Finishing this with lipglass makes me feel like a bombshell ;).

This was my first MAC lipstick purchase and I love it soo so much! It's a beautiful pink with subtle gold-ish glimmer. I am very pale and this looks pretty and natural on me. I'm so happy I found this shade. I keep it in my purse at all times. After buying this, I went back and bought Cyndi and Gaga. I really love MAC lipsticks (the ones I have so far). They are creamy and have a subtle vanilla smell that I actually really like. My only complaint is that they don't last too long, but with a little foundation and liner on the lips, you can get a little more wear out of it.

For my skin tone I find this a really pretty easy to wear colour that goes with pretty much any look I want. This isn't a wowy stand out colour, it's a fairly sheer mid pink with a little tiny glimmer in it. You can definately give it more intensity with a good liner, and a double layer blotted in between.
This is a great every day lipstick for me, better in winter and spring with my pale skin.

I have fair skin, blue eyes and unpigmented lips. I look very ill unless I put some color on, but lip products are always a problem for me because my lips are dry and lipsticks dry them out even further and they feel like someone took a vacuum cleaner and literally zapped all the moisture from them. However, based on MUA reviews I decided to give this one a go since people reported the color being very flattering and I always hope if I find ONE lipstick that looks good on me, it'll compel me to wear lip products more often (??). Well, I bought this in the spring and the color is, indeed, very gorgeous. It makes me look like a hot scandinavian if and when I decide to wear it!

I am NC20/Revlon CS Buff skintone for reference. Bombshell is a perfect light to medium pink on me and it was exactly what I was looking for...I was surprised since I usually *hate* frost pink lipstick (this doesn't look like a frost on my lips). It doesn't have too much of a "blue" undertone so it's not a pepto-pink (which I hate). It also (thankfully) doesn't resemble the milky/pasty light pink that so many are wearing lately. For a more sheer look I put NYX French kiss lipgloss over it.

Bombshell is a light to medium frost lipstick, and it's probably one of the better pinks in their line. That said, it's definitely not my favorite in terms of the mid toned pink range, my ultimate favorite for that would be Creme de la Femme. Bombshell is very cool toned, so on my warm skintone, this just looks a little "off". What I do like about it, is that it's not too bright, but not too pale. It's a great lipstick if you want to add a pop of color without feeling like you're drawing too much attention to your lips, and great because it's light but not "pale". It's definitely a pretty color, just not one I reach for often or one that never really quite left a huge impression on me.

This is my first [MAC] lipstick. I went to a MAC counter and ask for an every day pink lipstick for my NC35 skin tone, and the MA suggested this and Speed Dial. I went with this, not sure why. (I should've went with Speed Dial since that's a cremesheen and this is a frost.) Anyways, at first I didn't like it, frost lipsticks never worked for me, but after playing with it for a while, this is definitely my HG pink lippie. I have very pigmented lips, and when I dabbed this on, it gives me a nice pinky nude color, which I've been searching for. (The only way that this lipstick works for me is if I dab it on, which is fine with me.) I'd repurchase this if I can't find another perfect pink lipstick by the time I'm at the bottom of the tube on this one.

I will admit I bought this partly because of the name (who doesn't want to be a bombshell?!) It is so pretty! A bright but not OTT pink! I love it, and will without a doubt repurchase if the need ever be :)

This is a gorgeous light pink with some sparkle. I'll be able to use this every day.

I love all MAC lipsticks. This has the nice 'cake' smell to it, goes on smooth and doesn't flake or bleed.

ok i am so NOT a frost girl, but for some reason i felt like a change and i had my B2M free lippie. i really like it!!! it is a beautiful pink color. for people who like frosts i think this is a must. the only down i have noticed after wearing this is when it fades it leaves a yucky frosty line on your lips- weird!!! maybe this is a frost thing?? idk but it doesn't look cute when it fades.
