MAC Lip Dupes...


I don't understand the MAC hype. I think it's just that... hype. Yes their lipsticks are very good quality and on the odd occasion i treat myself to one, but as a regular thing, i personally think they are overpriced. Maybe i'm just sour that i cant afford it, but the highstreet have always seemed to offer just as good versions.

Barry M 153 = MAC Chatterbox
I have been lusting for chatterbox for aaaaages, but couldn't really justify the price as i would rarely wear it during the day. After reading a lipstick post on Kate's blog I found myself buying this lipstick this week and have already worn it twice. New favourite <3

Bourjois Peche Accro = MAC Vegas Volt / Costa Chick
Vegas Volt looked ridiculous on me, faaaar too bright and Costa Chick came out pinker than i expected. This lipstick is the perfect in-between. You can get it from fragrancedirect for about £2, such a bargain.

Barry M 153 // Bourjois Peche Accro
* The bourjois lipstick appears a brighter coraly / orange colour in real life.

Appologies for the lack of blogging too. My exams are next week, so i have been kidnapped by revision :(
Good luck to anyone doing any exams starting next week! Back to blogging soon.

I've only ever brought foundation and finishing powder from mac. Wouldnt really wanna splurge out on lipsticks if there are cheaper dupes! I usually buy lipsticks from natural collection in the 'moisture shine' range :)
Those colours are so pretty - just right for summer!

I must admit to being a bit of a MAC lipstick addict! But I will definitely be trying these dupes :) xxx

I'm addicted to MAC lipsticks, although the only formula I like is matt and amplified because the colour is SO rich in colour and lasts a long time too.

Although I do think Barry M lip paints are super pigmented too. Wish they had more lipsticks though xo

I've always thought MAC is so over-hyped! Having said that I am lusting over some face makeup from there, but the lipsticks are too overpriced! Love the colour of the Bourjouis lipstick!

So I'm not sure if you know this (most likely not hah) but I'm kind of a lipstick fanatic. My collection grows daily, it's quite unhealthy. I love this post, and I may just have to go check these out .

Have a great day!
