DUPE ALERT!
I purchased these lipsticks about 2 weeks ago and as I was swatching these at the store, they had seemed very familiar to me. A few days later it had dawned on me that I practically own these! I started digging through my lip products and BAM! I found them! Now lets get down to business.
The first lipstick is Mac's Creme Cup. Mac describes this shade as a light blue pink and it is a cremesheen (which basically means it's creamy and sheer). The majority of Mac lipsticks are $16. The first picture is a swatch of Creme Cup (left) and Maybelline's Born With It (right). They're pretty similar, but Creme Cup has a little more of a nude tone.
Below is with Maybelline's Blushing Beige over the Born With It and as you can see both shades are pretty spot on. The Maybelline Color Vivids range in price from $5-7.
Up next is Please Me. Mac describes this shade as a muted rosy tinted pink with a matte finish. The dupe for Please Me is Revlon's Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusive. What's great about the balm is that it has a pepperminty tingle to it. It's not an intense tingle, but it is refreshing. The Colorburst range in price from $6-9.
On the right is the Colorburst and the left is Mac Please Me.
