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! :)
