L-R: Whipped Caviar, Brave, Rebel, Pink So Chic |
I do love a good MAC product but I am also all
about finding cheaper alternatives to my favorites. There is something so
satisfying about stumbling upon a fab dupe of your favorite lippy and when that
dupe is even better than the original – well I couldn’t be happier really! And
the good news is that today we chat about the better and cheaper versions of
some of my fave products. We have some fab MAC
dupes on our hands, so if you fancy saving some pennies, keep on reading…
If you’re regular round these parts you are
probably aware that MAC Rebel (here / review) is my all time favorite lipstick. From the formula to the stunning color
– it’s bloomin’ marvelous and I am now on my third tube, which tells you
something. When I was introduced to the Maybelline Color Drama Pencil in Pink
So Chic (here) though I was
smitten by the similarity of the two shades. Yes, Rebel is a tad lighter but when
on the lips they are virtually the same gorgeous fuchsia berry color with lovely
velvet finish. What’s more, the Maybelline offering is only a fraction of the
price but I find the formula to actually be *wait for it* - a lot better. The pencil is more
pigmented, the color goes on rich and more even and it doesn’t accentuate dry
patches - score. Both lippies feel rather comfortable and creamy on the lips
but what makes Pink So Chic a total
winner is the longevity. Oh boy – this baby stays on. I managed to chomp my way
though an entire three-course meal this weekend and it stayed in tact. It honestly
stays put from dusk till dawn and there is no fading or awkward bleeding – mind-blowing!
What? You still can’t get hold of Brave
(here / review)? I hear ya! It took me
absolute ages to find this beauty – how is it always out of stock?! Crazy. The good news though is that if
you’re fan of the whole 90s lip trend NYX
Whipped Caviar (review) is your guy. It’s the closest
dupe to MAC Brave I’ve seen and even though the NYX offering is a touch pinker,
on the lips they are almost unrecognizable. Whipped Caviar has incredible
hydration formula, the same beautiful semi-matte finish and it’s just a
fraction of the price, which makes it a total winner in my books. Definitely go
give it a swatch ladies, it’s a good’un.
Back in the day I was all about the MAC brushes
and no one could have convinced me that the more affordable offerings are worth
my attention. Fast forward a couple of years though and here I am sweeping my
drugstore brushes across my face on a daily basis and having my MAC babes
collecting dust on the shelf. My beloved MAC
217 (here) was no exception and the
Zoeva 227 Luxe Soft Definer (here) definitely put it to shame, let
me tell you! It’s not only much more budget-friendly but it’s also much softer
(I’ve always found the 217 a bit harsh on
the skin), more fluffy and blends both cream and powder eyeshadows like a
dream. The Luxe Soft Definer is the perfect crease brush and I love how well and
gently it packs and blends out the product – love. See ya later harsh lines!
Have you tried any of these
products before? Have you discovered any MAC dupes recently?
Lots of love,
Andrea
Nice shades ! ! Lovely photos ♥

Loved this post, it was definitely interesting to read as I've had my eye on a few of these products and so knowing I can actually pick them up, or very similar, for a more budget friendly price is fab! Thanks for sharing!

I really love the Maybelline Colour Drama pencils, they're such good value for money! I definitely have to pick up Pink So Chic now! x
ReplyDeleteBeauty Dressed
Great post! I'm definitely doing to look out for those Maybelline lip pencils when I am next in Boots as they sound amazing! I've never found a lip pencil to be very long lasting in the past so it is nice to hear that these are actually good at lasting.
ReplyDeleteThese all sound lovely and I just love finding good dupes especially for lipsticks. Thanks for sharing!
