DUPE ALERT!!

 

Hello Beauties! Welcome back!  I am here today with a dupe for you to entertain...it's a very unique color choice, but I love it!  I am mentioning NYX Matte lipstick in the shade Butter, which I feel is a dupe for MAC Divine Nite lipstick collection in the shade Exclusive Event.  Btw, some people think Butter is a dupe for MAC HoneyLove - YOU be the judge!!

Again, these are very unique shades and out of the ordinary, I feel, but I do love them both!  I didn't get my hands on the MAC lipstick, however keep checking in to see if it's in stock or not (NOT) and when I saw a video from MakeupByLeinaBaaaby featuring NYX, I HAD to locate this color!!  She showed swatches from the NYX Matte lipstick line and Butter was one of the shades...and I loved it!!  Btw, she's gorgeous so you should check her out!!

To describe the shade - it's a taupe brown, which looks darker in person than when you search it online.  In person it looks more like MAC Exclusive Event does looking at in online.  NYX Matte lipstick in Butter is, of course, a Matte finish - but I feel they're not drying like a usual MATTE.  I feel there is a bit of a sheen to them, which helps with dryness.  I, personally, do not mind a true matte lipstick, however if you don't truly care for them b/c of the dryness, the NYX Matte lipstick line would be a good option to try!  Color payoff is great and the price is great, as well!

 

Happy shopping!

 

Until next time, take care!

DUPE ALERT!! L'Oreal I Pink You're Cute and MAC Viva Glam Nicki

 Hello Beauties!!  I am UBER excited to share this dupe with you, and in case you didn't know, this is an EXACT dupe for MAC Viva Glam Nicki lippie :))

The color is basically the exact same - so much so, I consider them twinnies!!  There is a difference, however in the texture and wear of these lipsticks.  L'Oreal I Pink Your Cute has a glossy finish to it, whereas MAC Nicki is a matte finish.  Nicki is also a smidge more opaque than I Pink You're Cute.

When I wear Nicki, I will apply a little lip balm before applying the lipstick just so there is some sort of softness to my lips.  I don't feel MAC matte lipsticks are extremely drying, but a matte's a matte - it's dry!  I'm a lipstick and lipgloss duo kind of girl, so 9 times out of 10 I apply a coordinating gloss overtop of my lipsticks. 

This L'Oreal lipstick has been included in a new release campaign that is ALL ABOUT Pink!!  I have seen the displays in Walgreens, and I actually picked mine up at a Wal-Mart grocery center of all places??  It was included in the permanant display, so my guess is you'll be able to pick this baby up anywhere they sell L'Oreal beauty??  Don't quote me on that, but that's my guess.  All that being said, that's definitely a good thing b/c I just love this color and this lipstick!  FYI - L'Oreal Colour Riche lipsticks sell for $8.95.

You can still pick up Viva Glam Nicki from MAC, however I do not know how long it will be available for?  As all their celebrity collabs, they tend to be limited editions, but the time-frame available I am unsure?  FYI - MAC Viva Glam Nicki sells for $15.00 BUT 1 cent from each sale of this lipstick goes towards helping those with HIV and AIDS.  So there's is definitely a plus by purchasing this lipstick - not only are you treating yourself, but you're helping those in need :)) a WIN WIN!!

I JUST LOVE THESE, don't you??

Thanks for stopping by and remember to leave a trail of glitter ;))
