MAC Spring Kit Dupes

Hey guys!
-
Today I am doing a dupe post for my latest post which was my MAC spring go-to kit, and I had loads of ideas for dupes when I was writing it so I thought that I would do this post today to show you guys that MAC is not the only brand to sell spring products!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Eternal Gold is a great dupe for MAC Bare Study paintpot. I do prefer MAC's consistency but this is an amazing product for just £5.
Prestige eyeshadow in Love is a great dupe for MAC Sushi Flower because it's the same kind of bright popping pink. Prestige is a new brand and I only have one product from this brand which is an eye liner.
Next is an eye shadow from Maybelline which is called Naked Beige and I actually already own this colour. I think it's a really good dupe for Shroom because it's a really pretty shimmery gold colour.
I also own this Collection Deluxe lipstick in the colour 02 and I don't know if I have mentioned it before but it is amazing. It's a pretty pink colour which is the perfect pop of subtle colour for spring.
Finally a good dupe for the MAC Saint Germain nail varnish is this Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream nail varnish which is only like £2.99. I love Barry M and I hve this colour myself and even thought it requires a few coats to get going it's a really pretty pastel pink.

So there are just a couple of dupes for my personal MAC Spring Kit. I know that some people will prefer the MAC post and some will prefer this post but honestly I believe that both collections of products are gorgeous for spring time!

5 MAC Lipstick Dupes 2

Hi guys!
-
This is my second MAC dupe post today and as promised here is my nude type colour dupes such as Creme in your coffee, Creme cup, Snob, Modesty and Chatterbox. These are a few of my favourite MAC colours and they are all pretty similar. I think these dupes are not as accurate as my other ones but they are still cheap and close to the MAC colours.

So the first colour is Creme Cup is a lot lighter when you see it in a store than it appears on the website. Here it looks like quite a dark pink nude colour quite a lot like blankety which is one of the first MAC colours that I ever brought. I think this dupe is a little more glittery than than the actual colour but the tone is pretty similar. Snob is a colour that I would love to try one day but it has purpleish undertones which I don't think would compliment my fair skin. The dupe picture isn't brilliant because you can't see the full colour but as you can tell it's like a dark pinkish colour like the MAC version. MAC Chatterbox and the Collection Little Mix Jade lipsticks are quite similar which is more pink than the other colours but still beautiful summer shade that would suit most skin tones. MAC Creme In Your Coffee is a beautiful creamy nude colour just a little lighter than Creme Cup and I would say it's closest dupe is the B. Shade 21 lipstick from Superdrug. Finally MAC Modesty is quite similar to Creme In Your Coffee but has more brown undertones. The dupe I chose that was closest to this colour which is another B. colour in shade 41 from Superdrug that has a similar tone.

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you enjoyed all the dupes today and I will be doing some NARS dupes tomorrow!

5 MAC Lipstick Dupes

Hi guys!
-
I first off want to apologise for not posting yesterday. Well first my brother was ill when we were supposed to be staying at my grandparents house for the weekend as my parents were going to see Lee Nelson (the comedian), but because my brother was ill I ended up going in his place. We left at half past five and then came back at ten so I had no time to find the dupes and then write this post, but I am now! Anyway I have been finding closest drugstore dupes to 5 MAC lipsticks and not to toot my own horn but I think I did pretty well. Three of the dupes are from MUA for £1 which which you can find in Superdrug, and the others are from Collection and Rimmel London.

Left to right - MAC Impassioned/Rimmel Vogue, MAC Dangerous/Collection deluxe shade 1, MAC Saint Germain/MUA shade 4, MAC Sunny Seoul/MUA Shade 11, MAC Shanghai Spice/MUA shade 16

I think the closest dupe I got was MAC Saint Germain and MUA Shade 4 as these colours are both really pretty pastel pinks. I think I also matched  MAC Shanghai Spice and Sunny Seoul pretty well with two MUA colours both with similar orangey undertones. MAC Dangerous was pretty difficult to match because there are so many different shades of red available at the moment because everyone loves a classic red lip after the SS14 catwalk when a strong red lip made a few appearances, but this Collection dupe was pretty accurate because it was a little darker than the usual red lips like Russian Red, so it matched Dangerous perfectly. Finally MAC Impassioned is a colour that I have never seen before so I am surprised it hasn't caught my eye in the MAC store. Anyway I found a pretty similar Rimmel dupe in the colour Vogue that I think is the same kind of hot pink colour but it has more shine too it that the MAC colour.

I hope you guys liked my dupes and even thought these colours took me quite a while to match it was quite fun writing this post so please comment any more dupes you would like to see! Thank you for reading.
