WHERE TO SPLURE VS. WHERE TO SAVE part 2

LONG WEAR LIPSTICK

SPLURGE:

M.A.C Pro longwear lipstick is non drying, anti feathering and really does last forEVER. It's available in 10 shades (my fave being Perennial Rose), and will run you $25.









SAVE:
Maybelliene Super Stay lip color. I have about 6 of these and I wear them allll the time. A lot of people say that this is more drying and feels uncomfortable after a few hours. The trick with these is that you have to reapply the gloss every few hours. The upside? Not only does it come in 32 shades, but at $10.50 a pop, it won't break the bank either




EYESHADOW

SPLURGE:

M.A.C's most popular eyeshadow, is beyond a doubt, Shroom. Every makeup artist and/or junkie has this colour on hand. It works well on every skin tone and is the soft beautiful quality we all expect from mac. This one is $17.50, but is totally worth it.









SAVE:
Revoln's ColorStay 12 hour eyeshadow in Champagne is Shroom's Doup. Last for hours, goes on smooth and doesn't crease. $4.99










EYELINER PENS:

SPLURGE:              


I was alllll about M.A.C's Penultimate eyeliner when it first came out, but after a few weeks, I found it's colour faded drastically and applying it was a pain. The concept is great, but I'm not into M.A.C's version at all. $20









SAVE:


Revlon's colorstay liquid eye pen is blackest black stays on, stays black and is a dream to apply. i would definetly suggest buying this over the Mac version. $8.99









That's all for now. Look for more splurge vs save in future blog postings!
