This shade is a bubble-gum bright pink with gold shimmer. I really can't imagine it looking bad on any skintone (I'm an NW15). I find that the texture and consistency work well enough with my lips that I can apply it without a gloss, so that's definatley a plus!

I find that this lipstick looks very sexy when paired with soft black eyeliner and lots of mascara!

I love this l/s it's one of my all-time favorites! It compliments my very fair skin beautifully. It was my first mac frost l/s, but to me it's really not that frosty. It's a bubblegum pink with gold shimmer that, on me at least, is great for day or night. I like that it's named "Bombshell", it's a very fitting name! Even though Marilyn Monroe is known for her red lips, this color reminds me of her, and other classic hollywood bombshells. I will buy Bombshell again and again! :)

I can see how this is pretty similar to Nymphette lipglass, though this lipstick suits me much more than Nymphette. I will try layering though. Lovely pink with goldy-peach tones, a little drying on my lips though (and the peachy shimmer sometimes collects in the lines of my lips). Overall though, I like it a lot - not too in-your-face also, easily can be worn in the daytime. I'm wearing bombshell in my profile pic, so you can see what it looks like there :)

Bubblegum pink really is the most accurate way to describe this lipstick color. Imagine classic pink bubblegum infused with subtle, glowy gold shimmer. The texture isn't as gritty as some MAC frosts, but it does still dry out my lips slightly. I prefer to use a balm underneith.

I got this with a B2M. I haven't been this excited about a lippie in a while. It is a great pink to have. It looks bubblegum pink on my lips (which, in general, are too pigmented to show off light colors). The texture is creamier than most Frosts that I own. The lasting power could be better but not so bad that I'd take away any points for it. I used it with Mac Dervish liner. I could see this being my HG light pink lipstick. I'll have to wait and see if my opinion holds to elevate it to that status, though.

Another wonderful MAC lipstick! This is a huge departure from my apricots and nudes. This is a BRIGHT medium pink, with gold flecks. Perfect for me, since I am a cool-skinned blonde. This will be great to wear when the warm weather hits! I will buy again.

Ah, Bombshell. I like the name more than the lipstick itself - on me, that is. It is such a gorgeous color that I'm quite upset I can't pull it off. It's a very true, shimmery Barbie doll pink that would be unbelievably gorgeous on the right coloring, but on my Filipino, NC25 face, it's just too Malibu living doll. Deepened with Whirl lipliner, however, it has a chance.

When I first got this, I really didn't like it AT ALL - the problem really was all about the texture. It's a very pretty bubblegum-ish peachy pink with golden coral pearl, but given my kips are actually slightly DARKER than the lipstick I found I had to really layer a reasonable amount on to get good coverage... at which point, Bombshell became a bit gritty and gross on account of the frost formula's glitter. *SO* disappointed.

Recently however it's gained a whole new lease of life with me, mainly because it goes SO well with Expensive Pink eyeshadow (one of my current faves) that I thought I would give it another try. THIS time I put foundation over my lips before applying Bombshell, and then a shimmery lipgloss over the top, this evened out the texture and gave me a much nicer finish. I'd buy Bombshell again if I couldn't find a similar shade elsewhere (it IS gorgeous), but I still wish the glitter particles in it weren't so gritty, and that it went on a bit smoother than it does on me.

I love Bombshell! I'm a cool PPP with yellow undertones (blond hair & blue eyes) and this looks so pretty and fresh on me, not garish at all. It's a neutral, medium pink with just the right amount of golden frost. Being cool toned, I wouldn't have dared go near anything golden, but thankfully I read MUA reviews and tried this!

I use mac foundation in NW35 and this looks amazing, sooooo good, on my skin tone. The girl picked this out at the counter when I asked for a peachy/pink tone and this fits my tone and makes my eyes pop. It's a medium bright but not too bright pink with gold/peachy shimmer. I started using this around the time of my senior prom and I am now on my 3rd lipstick.

Ooooh, pretty! And so very sexy! *MUAH* What a great summer color - I say that only because I just got it and I'm loving how it looks against my faux tanned face. Hopefully it'll work beautifully in the fall/winter too. Even so, I'm so glad I got this. =)

Great pink lipstick! Goes on smoothly with lotsa pigment. Looks great lined with Whirl and over Early Bloomer lipglass. I'm sorry I didn't pick it up sooner. I find that this colour can be worn day or night, dress up or down. It doesn't look versatile but it really is.
