$5 M.A.C Lipstick Dupes

Im a bit of a brand snob when it comes to lipstick. I have no idea why - but Im totally willing to spend $30+ on one lipstick from a brand that I love, rather than grabbing a number of lipsticks for a cheaper price, from brands I haven't really tried. I guess I just like sticking to what I know and really don't want to regret it later on.



Anywho, I decided I would try out something different and I did just that. I grabbed 6 Wet n Wild lipsticks from Crush Cosmetics. It came to a total of $30, which is pretty much the price of 1 MAC lippy.

Surely enough I have ended up loving all of these Wet n Wild lippys and am quite impressed! This was my first time trying Wet N Wild lippys, so I stuck to nude/earthy/deep tones, but of course I had to grab a bright pink.

Some of them resembled a few MAC shades I have, which you can see below.



Mac Sin + Wet N Wild Cherry Bomb





Mac Velvet Teddy + Wet N Wild Bare It All





Mac Diva + Wet N Wild Cinnamon Spice





These are great dupes if you're wanting a similar shade for less than half the price! I really couldn't get over how pretty these shades were, for only $5 each! The formula is creamy, they are easy to put on and as long as lip liner is applied first, these last relatively well.

I don't have many complaints, other than the packaging. It does feel kinda 'cheap' and every time I take the lid off I end up scraping the sides as the lids seem to stick so hard. But I must say, for $5 - can I realllllly complain?
