MAC Viva Glam Gaga Dupe!



I am super thrilled to show you all a dupe I found! I was looking at my collection (which I might do a video on soon!) trying to see what I can review or talk about since I knew for sure I wanted to do a post today. I took out a Rimmel London lipstick in Pink Champagne/ Pink Blush (They've changed the name, but I promise it's the same color!) and realized it looked similar to the lipstick I had on which was Viva Glam Gaga. I know a lot of you didn't get the chance to get it, and I've seen prices on eBay to be over $100 which is CRAZY for a lipstick! 


I bought Viva Glam Gaga when it first came out in February of 2010, it was my first purchase from MAC and I was ecstatic! It's a gorgeous bright blue pink shade. I honestly haven't seen great dupes out there. This one is probably the best dupe I've come across (if you know any dupes for this lipstick, please let me know!) 


I bought the Rimmel London lipstick almost a month ago during the CVS 50-75% off sale for $1.78 cents! I'm not quite sure if the sale is still going on but you can always check G.'s blog for more updates on that! She also shares all the great deals and sale out there, so make sure to follow her if you haven't already! $1.78 is an awesome deal for any lipstick really! 




As you can see the colors are VERY VERY similar! The Rimmel lipstick is on the top and the Gaga is on the bottom. I was really shocked to see how similar these colors are. They're not exact dupes; I say the Viva Glam Gaga is a little bit more blue toned and a little less bright than the Rimmel lipstick. Overall both colors are gorgeous and I'd definitely recommend the Rimmel London lipstick if you're looking for Viva  Glam Gaga and is having bad luck! Do you think they look similar? Did you get a chance to pick up Viva Glam Gaga? Let me know! xx

Random Mini Haul!

I was browsing around luuux the other day when I saw this post that said 50% off Wet N' Wild cosmetics, so of course I instantly clicked on the post and read the details! The deal ended today (sadly) so I had to go to make my mom drive me to Walgreen's! Don't worry; she bought a couple of things herself haha. I didn't go crazy, I only bought three Wet N' Wild things.

Also, I got a metal tin from the salvation army thrift store to put rings in. I'm not sure how that will work out but it was only $0.99, I couldn't resist.



                                                 (Wet N' Wild Walking On Eggshells Trio with swatches)
I got this trio for $1.50, yes $1.50. That is incredible. These eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, smooth, and easy to blend. This is a great trio for an everyday neutral look. Such a great steal!
(Wet N' Wild Lust Palette with swatches)
I paid $2.50 for this. WHAT? yes. The second color on the second row is really the reason I bought it. The color is so different. It's a flat black with purple shimmer. Most people describe it as what MAC's beauty marked was supposed to be. The matte colors are kind of chalky, but nothing terrible whatsoever.

(Revlon Nail Polish in Peach Petal)
The color is beautiful. I love it, the consistancy of it is not great; I'm still not sure on my feelings towards it. It dries super super slow, I let it dry for at least 10 minutes and it still wouldn't dry. So, I went ahead and put another coat and took this pictures and took it off right after. Hopefully next time I try it, it works great. Hopefully.

(Wet N' Wild Nutty single eyeshadow with swatch)
A lot of people said a good dupe for satin taupe is this eyeshadow. I don't agree. Its similar, but definitely not a "dupe". It is a really pretty color though! I will be for sure using this!

(*Sorry I didn't swatch the revlon lipgloss! There's tons of swatches out there, just google it if you were curious!)
