We all love to splurge on a high end lipstick time to time but sometimes a good old high street lipstick just does the job and sometimes even better. Mac lipsticks are quite popular if your a beauty lover, however I've found an exact colour dupe and a similar ish formula dupe from a brand that won't damage the pocket. Good old Rimmel.
The Mac colour is called twig and is a Satin finish and the Rimmel one is from the Kate Moss collection and is no.19, the Rimmel one has more of a creamier finish which I personally like more as I find it more moisturizing on the lips. The staying power of both lipsticks are quite similar, they stay on for a few hours before having to do your little touch up. They both have the same pigment as well and only need one or two layers and your good to go.
The biggest different between the two is the price! The Mac lipstick is £14.00 whilst the Rimmel one is only £5.49!!!!! A difference of nearly £10. You could buy two Rimmel lipsticks in the price of one Mac lipstick.
So is it really worth it?
Love it :)

ReplyDeleteit's crazy- sometimes you can find a dupe for so much less the money and it looks exactly the same! i think both looks amazing! really nice post and very informative!

Exactly! There's so many other cheaper products that are comparable to more expensive products. Aw thank you, that means a lot :)

DeleteYou're completely right, I'm a mac virgin, as I have no counter nearby and hate relying on online swatches, but I love rimmel lipsticks, especially the kate moss range and they are literally more than half price! I'm with you, I'd rather by two lipsticks than one!
