Duping - MAC Girl About Town

I am back for a second dupe and I believe this one is just as good as the first one.

Girl About Town was one of those Mac lipsticks I only needed to see once before I knew I needed it in my collection. It is a classic hot pink suitable for all skin tones. True to fashion I already had a very similar shade lurking in my collection in the shape of  17 Lasting Fix lipstick in Pink Power.

Top - Mac Girl About Town, Bottom - 17 Pink Power

On the hand swatch the 17 lipstick appears ever so slightly sheerer but that definitely isn't noticeable on the lips. Girl About Town is an amplified creme finish which makes it thick and opaque on the first swatch. The 17 is a lasting fix lipstick and therefor the finish is ever so slightly more matte.

Mac Girl About Town is £14.00 and can be purchased Here.

17  Pink Power is £4.29 and can be purchased Here

Duping - MAC Saint Germain

With summer on the way (apparently) I have started rummaging in my lipstick drawers and pulling out hot pinks, cool corals and neon oranges. It was while doing this I realised I not only had a lot of similar colours, but I had also duped some of beloved Mac lipsticks. 

The first one I pulled out was the very popular Saint Germain and the dupe I have found for this costs a mere £2.99. May I introduce you to Collection Lasting Colour lipstick in Bubblegum. 

 Left - Collection Lasting Perfection Bubblegum, Right - Mac Saint Germain

The top swatch is Mac Saint Germain which is a cool toned bubblegum pink in an amplified finish. The bottom swatch is Collection Bubblegum which as you can see is near enough identical right down to the creamy opaque finish.

If you don't fancy splashing out £14.00 on a Mac lipstick then this £2.99 offering from Collection is the perfect alternative.

Identity Crisis...

I am going to try and keep this brief but basically I had a major identity crisis and a mini melt down but I am back now and back to my original name. I have no idea what made me want to change my blog name in the first place but I did it, I wasn't happy with it, so I changed it back.

I want to apologies for messing everyone around and making things so confusing but I promise this is it now, no more name changes, just straight up lipstick.

As you may of noticed, I have had a bit of a face lift. That is all thanks to my gorgeous pal Fee over at Makeup Savvy. She really is ridiculously talented.

You can still follow me on Blog Lovin' and Hello Cotton, but I now have a Pinterest where you can check out all my favourite lip pictures, and an Instagram where I will be adding Outfit Of The Day pictures, Nail Of The Day pictures, and anything else that takes my fancy.

Thank you for all your continued support and prepare yourself for some serious lipstick loving.
