Drugstore Dupes Part 2

Hey y'all! Back again for another drugstore dupes on some favorite high-end beauty products. If you guys want to save some money while still looking fabulous at the same time look no further. 

1.) MAC Girl About Town (Amplified) Lipstick
DRUGSTORE DUPE: Revlon Color Burst Lipstick in Fuchsia (030): BRIGHT FUCHSIA (Cool-toned) This is a pretty dead on dupe. Both have very similar textures (the MAC one is a bit thinner) and great pigmentation (the Revlon one actually is more pigmented). The only major difference is that MAC Girl About Town has a vanilla scent to it like most MAC lipsticks. FUN FACT: MAC Girl About Town is actually one of Katy Perry's favorite lipsticks. 

PRICE BREAKDOWN:
MAC Girl About Town: $16.00 http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Products/Lips/Lipstick/Lipstick/index.tmpl
Revlon Fuchsia: $5-$7: http://www.amazon.com/Revlon-ColorBurst-Lipstick-Fuchsia-Ounces/dp/B003FBMFSG

2.) Kevyn Aucoin The Solid Foundation
Drugstore Dupe: Maybelline FIT Shine-Free Foundation: The texture on both products are very similar. Both are light-weight and blends easily into the skin. The Kevyn Aucoin one has a light fresh scent to it. In terms of wear time both are pretty close lasting around 6-8 hours and great for both oily and dry skin. Maybelline has a bigger color range.

3.) NARS Blush in Desire
Drugstore Dupe: Milani Delizioso Pink: Both are very pigmented and soft in texture. I did find the Milani blush a bit easier to blend than the NARS blush. In the pictures the Milani looks a lighter however on the skin you can't really tell the difference. The perfect pink blush for everyday every season.
