i know that bubblegum pink just screams barbie hooker but hear me out.. its suprisingly very flattering. i went to buy some new lipgloss and the MA handed me the tube and said try this... i opened it and looked at her like she had just sold me to the enemy for chocolate and pantyhose.... i believe the words " do i look like i am for sale" actually came out of my mouth... but i tried it and it was sheer enough that i could layer it for a bolder look... it isnt something id wear in the winter but with a tan, a little extra bronzer and some black liquid eyeliner id say this will be my go to summer look for quite a while


scary in the tube

flattering on the skin


oh mac how do you do it?

I have a "thing" for bright lipsticks, and this one is amazing!
Not ridiculously look at me color, but an fun and vivid color that screams confidence, happiness.
You wont be disappointed with the creamy texture and lasting power.
Bubblegum pink? yes, in the cool side, but pull it off with bronzer if you need.
Pink Nouveau is similar, but a tad cooler IMO.
I'm NC30 and I like to kick up it a notch with bold lips!

This is a lovely color. I was scared away from trying it for the longest time because I was afraid it would be too bright, but for someone who wears lots of red and fuchsias, this is nothing. :P This and Pink Nouveau are very similar, but where Pink Nouveau is very cool and has a bluish cast to it, Chatterbox is more yellow and perhaps a touch more neutral. I prefer Chatterbox.

Chatterbox is my 2nd MAC lipstick purchase ever. I am trying to branch out of my normal MLBB lipsticks and lipglosses, and Chatterbox is my 2nd purchase to help get me out of my shell. It is a very bright pink in the tube. On my lips it basically looks like it does in the tube, yet I can still wear it. If I am looking closely in the mirror, you can see the bright pink. From a few more feet away it just looks like a nice pink is sitting lightly on my lips. In other words, don't be afraid of what it looks like. If I apply it again while I still have a layer on, it does tend to look a little 80s pink, but my mom said she thought it still looked good! Don't be afraid ladies!! For reference, I wear Medium Beige in BE, and I would say my skin tone is fair with yellow undertones, but I find I can often get by with a lot of colors.

This really did nothing for me. Normally I love MAC lipsticks, and amplified cream formulation is great. But this lipstick was just all wrong. Initially I was attracted to it because of the bright Barbie pink color which normally works on me especially if I don't pile it on too much. However, Chatterbox turned a garrish orange pink on me no matter how I tried to sheer it out. Secondly, this settled into every little line my lips have, even when I tried using this with a balm under it. It looked splotchy and uneven and I just can't wear it. Too bad because it looks really bright and pretty in the tube.

I love the amplified creme texture of Chatterbox. Its a very pretty reddish pink coral with no shimmer. I adore it it and it is thick and bright so I definitely wear it as a stain with gloss on top as I don't like lipstick on me full strength anyway. Try this you will like it.

I'm (east)Asian, NC20, and I was dreading the really bright 80s pink color, but I tried Chatterbox and I like it.
It's quite a Barbie-ish pink, so don't overdo it if you're aiming for a day-friendly look.
Because it's an Amplified Creme, the staying power is pretty good without drying my lips. I use lip balm before applying and I'd top it with gloss to make the color more subtle or more playful (depends on the gloss colour).

I was a bit scared to try this at first because it looked so bright in the tube and didn't think it'd work on my NC35/40 skintone. But I actually do like it just not on its own. It's a little bright so I blot it down to a stain and then layer a sheer shimmery caramel gloss over it. It's actually really pretty especially for daytime. I've worn it by itself on a night out with loads of blk mascara and blk kohl liner and I felt very 80's punk. It was a nice departure from my smokey eye/nude lip combo.

This is my HG lipstick! I am a NC25-30 and this gorgeous pinked coral is perfect for the S/S season! It is an amplified cream lipstick ( no shimmer ), so it is very pigmented and doesn't feel as light as some lipsticks do, but I love wearing this when I go out. Sometimes I layer just a little bit of C-Thru for a glossier nude look or Nymphette if I want an extra glowiness to my lips. I would definitely buy this again!

Chatterbox is way too bright for me on its own, but paired with Oak lip liner (blended very well!) and some Glosspitality Lip Gelee over it, it is gorgeous, especially with a heavy black smokey eye. The formula feels great, very creamy and soft. It lasts for a long time, too. Didn't dry my lips out like lipsticks normally do. Pleasantly surprised!

I LOVE Chatterbox - the colour is so lovely and bright and bombshell-ish... I have very white blonde hair and extremely pale skin so it does look quite bright, but I LOVE it. The only problem is it dries my lips out a bit, but my lips are chronically chapped, so it's not really the lipstick's fault!

i think this was WAY too bright for my skintone...its goes on a fuschia-coral pink...definitely more brighter than Pink Packed (which was more suitable for my MMM w/ yellow undertones,C5/C40 skintone....very 80s looking.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS HOTTTTT PINK!!!!! IT'S SOOOO 80's IN-YOUR-FACE PINK! But it's more wearable than fuschia tones for medium tanned olive skin toned(NC42) gals like me because it doesn't contain much blue underneath. LOVE IT LOVE IT SOOOO LOVING IT!!! (^_^)

Actually, I was surprised at how this color transformed from a light pink to a very in your face deep, med. pink on my lips, wow! It is not my fave color for day, but at night when I go out, look out!

I'm underwhelmed by "Chatterbox." I was expecting a vivid, in-your-face pink, and on me "Chatterbox" is a rather soft, medium-to-light faintly reddish pink.
It's okay, but for this price I want more than okay. I will definitely not buy this shade again.

This is an amazing pink! I find it cool-toned even though it's a coral pink. It's bright without being over-the-top and full coverage. I think it's more pink than coral. It would be so stunning with a tan in summer. I'm really sad it's just a tad too bright for my taste, I'm a little pale for it, but anyone else would look so pretty in this!
