5 Popular MAC DUPES!

Hey beauties,
As we all know, MAC has released some of the best lipsticks of all time but sometimes we students would like to still look sassy with a cheaper alternative to MAC lipsticks especially since they cost $36 here in
Australia -__-... anyways here are my favourite Mac lipsticks and their drugstore dupes :)


1. Mac Rebel
Dupe- Wet and Wild Sugar plum fairy - Exact dupe

  
2. Mac Cyber
Dupe- Wet and Wild Vamp it up- Exact dupe





3. Mac Candy Yum Yum
Dupe- Wet and Wild Don't Blink Pink- Exact dupe


4. Mac Up the Amp
Dupe- Sportsgirl Pout about it- Enchanted- is a bit sheer compared to up the amp


5. Mac Media
Dupe- Wet and wild cherry bomb- Cherry bomb has red undertones whilst media has brown undertones but they are very close shades.



ALL MAC LIPSTICKS RETAIL FOR $36 (AUSTRALIA)
ALL WET AND WILD LIPSTICK RETAIL BETWEEN $1.99 AND $2.99 (DEPENDING ON PURCHASE LOCATION)

Hope you enjoyed this post beauties!

Loreal True Match Superblendable Foundation Review- C8 Cocoa

Being a woman of colour makes it hard for me to find the right foundation shade so I'm always on the look out for different foundations, hoping that one day I find the perfect match. I was on youtube a while ago and saw dollfacebeautyx rave about this foundation so I decided to give it a go.

Since I live in Australia and the only shades of makeup available of WOC are high end brands like MAC, Estee Launder and Chanel to name a few so I bought two Lo'real foundations for the price of $15 (shipping included) on eBay.

The foundation is one of my favourite drug store foundations and I will definitely be repurchasing it! Here are the pros and cons as follows

Pros:
- It is definitely superblendable
- It provides medium coverage which can be buildable
- A little goes a long way
- Does not feel cakey on the face
- Gives a natural look
- Has a semi matte finish

Cons:
- It has a watery consistency- can be thickened if mixed with a loose powder before application
- It does not have a pump which can be messy at times.

Overall Score: 9/10

Hope you guys enjoyed this review!

Beauty Things I Suck At!

Everybody that loves make-up has a technique that they can't perfect, even professional make-up artists do! Here are the four beauty things that I have tried time again and unfortunately, still cannot do!

1. Perfect Eyebrows- Eyebrows, Eyebrows, Eyebrows! If only the didn't matter so much! Every-time I try to do them they're are either too thick or too dark! And one of the few times that I actually succeed with one eyebrow, I can't copy the same look on the next. Thankfully I have naturally think eyebrows so filling them in isn't a problem. But I'm still going to practice and if I succeed you guys will be the first to know!

2. Individual Eyelashes- The reason I can't apply these things is probably because of their spider-like appearance!  I'm a pro at strip lashes but I can't get the hang of individual ones because I'm scared one will get lost in my eye!

3. Contouring- I can't contour to save my life due to the fact that there's too much involved! I'm straight forward  and I don't like things that involve too much steps! I guess that I have to stop being lazy to get the perfect bone structure!


4. Eye-shadow- I've never really been an eye shadow person because I don't like it when there's too much going on with my make-up! I can handle neutral colours and smokey eyes BUT NOT 80's blues and hues..

Hope you enjoyed reading this post guys, I tag all of guys so comment with your blog links please! :)
