Hi babes,
How are you doing? Everytime I make a blogpost promising to blog more often life gets in the way and I end up not blogging at all. So here we are it's been another month but let's try this again. I case I need to re-introduce myself; 'Hi I'm Nikki-The-One-That-Makes-Promises-She-Can't-Keep. Nice to meet you.'
Today I'm doing something I haven't ever done before and that's write about dupes. I've never come across a very good dupe in my collection but I while ago I found a great one, one that I haven't heard anyone talking about.
I'm comparing MAC Edge to edge lipliner to Catrice That's what rose wood do longlasting lipliner. (let's ignore I wrote the name wrong in the photo's, very professional I know). The colour can best be described as a pink with a slight mauve undertone. Depending on the light it can come across a bit more pink/peach but there definitely can be a mauve undertone. It's that wonderful kind of nude that doesn't wash you out. It still gives a bit of colour instead of looking like concealer lips.
When you compare them you'll see they're the same in colour but the Catrice lipliner is a bit softer in texture, that's why writing with this one came out so much thicker. They are both pretty longlasting but once you've eaten they're gone, sadly.
On the swatches below you can see there's barely any difference. I reach for both products which makes me conclude I can't feel much difference. MAC is the left picture and Catrice on the right.
The MAC one is a bit longer so it contains more product but that still doesn't mean it's worth its 15€ pricetag compared to the 1,99€ pricetag of an equally good product.
If you've found any other drugstore dupes please let me know in the comments below.
Goodbyeeee

Working with natural light turned out a bit harder than usual today, the colour doesn't seem to be the same in any of the pictures but the colour on the lipswatches is the most accurate.
