ELFs Luscious Liquid Lipsticks


This blog is a review on ELFs Luscious Liquid Lipsticks. They are surprisingly pigmented for being only 1 dollar. They come in a variety of colors to choose from and have a minty taste to them. They are kind of sheer in a way but not really.  It has a cool applicator and you twist the bottom and product comes up. They are great every day lip-glosses but they do come off easily because they’re like lip-gloss. It doesn’t say how much product comes in it, but it will last you a pretty long time. Hope this is helpful to all of you.




MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack VS. Essence Gel Eyeliner 01 Vintage Style

So as you can tell this blog post is a HUGE dupe alert for MAC’s fluidline in Blacktrack. Its 15.00 dollars (outrages) and it comes with 0.1 0Z of product. The dupe for this is Essence’s gel eyeliner in 01 vintage style, its 2.99 or 3.99 at Ulta and it comes with 0.08 OZ of product. The essences gel eyeliner has fewer product, but it comes with a cute little brush that actually works surprising well. They both are amazingly pigmented and last for a really long time. They both come in different colors and if you want to see them I will provide links. Hope you found this post helpful.

The Cheaper Version
M.A.C allthatglitters dupe
Mac allthatglitters eye shadow is 14.50 for 1.3 grams and the MaybeLline Sunlit Bronze Quad is 6.50 for 4 eyeshadows. There is a huge price difference because in the quad you get one eyeshadow for approximately $1.30 compared to 14.50 you would choose Maybeline for color they are 95% the same

         
Maybelline quad top right lid color


M.A.C allthatglitters 

Quality: 
M.A.C: allthatglitters is a veluxe pearl, which is one of my favorite type, they also have frosts, lustres, but veluxe pearls, have a shimmery tone, very pigmented, applies smooth, stay’s on all day barely creases
MAYBELLINE:
The color payoff is almost the same but the quality is a 50/50 it doesn’t crease much but it doesn’t apply on as smoothly or stay on all day, but no one on the street is going to come to you and tell you that your eyeshadow is going to wear off in 2 hours

If you are trying to save go for the Maybeline, you get your money’s worth with the M.A.C one but Maybeline does have a great dupe!!!

Benefit Sugarbomb Dupe

Benefit has really cool products, but they are so expensive! Sugarbomb is a great blush that is very popular. For 28 dollars you get four colors (peach, pink, purple, and a rose color) that can be used separately or together. Hard Candy just came out with something just like this, it’s the Fox in a Box in Smooth Talker, which is only 6 dollars. It is almost exactly the same! Some differences are that in Smooth Talker they are squares not triangles (doesn’t really make a difference) and Sugarbomb comes with 12.0g about of product while Smooth Talker comes with 5.7g  so you do get less product but it’s less money. The colors are exactly the same as you can see in the picture.



Sorry I don’t have swatches!
