Daring Deceptions..... Beauty on a Budget!!

Hi Guys!!!

Were almost to the weekend!!! Ahhh, The weekend! I LIVE FOR THEM! I was laying here thinking, hmmmmm,  maybe I should do one of my favorite things Saturday.And what would that be??? SHOPPING!!! BUT not just any shopping! MAKEUP SHOPPING!!! I love it! All types!!! Of course, I have my favorites that I know, I will never replace  or use anything other than it! But recently I have been addicted to research and found some AMAZING alternatives that are just as good and even better CHEAPER (Honey, I love a deal)  Recently,I found a cool article that gave so many great ideas on pinterest! So I pinned it, and when I went back AND IT WAS GONE!!!!  (DEVASTATING) So anyway, Let me share with you I have personally tried and found onlibe and may I add very impressed!!!!



Now yall know, I have expressed my love beforefor Nyx cosmetics! I love love love them!!!! I also love Mac, its was actually the only  makeup I ever bought...But thou has opened thine eyes and I am no longer a Makeup Snob! I use it all! If I hate it, guess what, I just don't buy it again, and my daughter, Amaya adds it to her collection! A 10 year old, with a makeup collection, wow I wish I was that lucky as a child!

Anyway back on subject! I literally stumbled accross this Dupe while shopping for something else, it has become my favorite Dupes by far!!! Wait, I'm sorry! Whats a Dupe???  I like to call it a MAKEUP DECEPTION, same quality, but usually much cheaper. So what did I find?? Nyx Lip Pencils!! They come is several amazing colors and are just as good as my usual Mac Lip Pencils. I started using Mac Chesnut Pencils with my Ooh Baby Gloss Years ago ( didn't everyone do that, I know you did) Anyways, I was out shopping and came accross this Nyx Expresso pencil...Heyyyy that looks like my Chesnut Pencil, but its $12 cheaper, hmmmmmm.  Now I am very particular about any makeup. I had a terrible reaction in high school that has scared me for life!!!! So I'm thinking, should I try it? What if I break out?? Ok, I'm going to try it and pray for the best! And Guess what, YUP I loved it!!!!!  And have been using it ever since, I actually found this comparison pic online

 

I Know!! You can thank me later for saving you a few bucks :-)

Here's another one of my favs!!! I love Nyx's Liner in Prune! It's pretty much identical to Mac's Plum (Hence the Name resemblance)  


                            Nyx Prune $3.50

                           Mac Plum $ 15.00

                        (kinda hard to see that image, but I wouldn't lie to you, its pretty darn identical)  


Finding such a deal, I knew it had to some other good deceptions out there!! Here's some other fun one's I found online, Now keep in mind, I can't vouch from some of these, I just seen them and they all look like they are worth a try


                      Wet n Wild 908C/MAC Rebel

                                                                         
                                                                        
Glamfession- I Kellee Charlise is absolutely in love with The Wet&Wild Megalast Collection!!!! The Matte finish it gives your lips is life changing and I promise it will last all night!!! Just so you know.....continuing.....

               
                MAC Pink Noveau/ Revlon Stormy Pink

Now, I think you guys will be trying this alone, because I although I would love to save some money, I LOVE ME SOME PINK NOVEAU! I pair it with Nyx Prune pencil and gloss it with  my Mac Enchantee kissable color (so cute) Now they discontinued Enchantee so someone please find me a Dupe of it!!!!!!! Please and thank you!!! 



                     MAC Myth/ELF Natural Nymph

                                               I myself have never tried ELF lipstick, I like Wet&Wilds Bare it all..It gives a Matte look, this look is giving me a creamy finish. I will try it. Elf cosmetics are super inexpensive and  pretty good!

          Viva Glam Gaga/ Revlon's Colourburst Lipstick in Baby Pink

Now, after searching high and low for this lipstick, It was sold out everywhere! Leave it to my Honey to find it (Thanks Boo)  So I was ecstatic to try it! And it's a winner! I don't wear it often, but the pink it is definitely popping! I would try the Dupe too!!!

                                                  
                     Mac Snob/Revlon Pink Pout

Um I have never tried either, But wow the resemblance is pretty convincing

                                                      


                                                                             


                            Can't forget Shadows

                                                             
     Lately, I have been living for BLUSH!!! I just started wearing it this year and I am mad I have been missing out all these years

Wow, After finding these I may have to try them all! I know, ALL things cheaper don't always turn out to be a good thing. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for CHEAP! . But all these alternative products, I have tried and I love them all. Will I love them more then the original?? Who knows, But I'm sure willing to try. Sure I will continue to shop at Mac (probably a little too much) But its still cool to have a back up when you wanna do Beauty on a Budget! Will you try it??? Please let me know, What you tried and your review on it.

I also found this crazy website when you can actually input your favorite and it will give give you a Dupe for it!

(ummmm SAVING TO FAVORITES)

     No worries! Of course I will share it with you guys!
