BATTLE OF THE DUPES #8: Essie vs. Sally Hansen
I found two photos of my nails and thought they looked similar so I have decided to see if they are dupes. I have buffed and filed my nails as well as paint my nails with a base coat. Now before I start I will explain how I am going to do this so I didn't think it would be fair to paint one hand with one nail polish and the other with the other nail polish because I am right handed so I generally get more wear and tear on them so going alphabetical with brands I will start on

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #7: MAC vs. Wet N Wild
A couple of years ago MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy was a big hit, everybody was wearing it and I remember that it was hard to get your hands on so Pinterest was covered in dupe pictures so I thought I would put one to the test. My lips are in a decent state, I suffer with dry skin and dry lips but today was a good lip day. I applied on my right (left in the picture) the MAC lipstick on half of my lips and on my left (right in the picture) the wet n wild lipstick. It was easie

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #6: Benefit vs. wet n wild
In 2016 Benefit Cosmetics sold a Hoola Bronzer every 10 seconds and in 2019 they expanded this to range to having four shades now but I saw people putting up dupes on social media for the original bronzer so I thought I would put one of them to the test which is the wet n wild MegaGlo Contouring Palette.

Makeup Collection 2018 #Blogmas2018
My Dad tells me I have too much makeup, I have cleared some out but I love playing with makeup and putting together different looks. The way I have stored these are with three old IKEA Moppe drawers that I painted, you can get smaller versions of them still but I wish they still did this side. I am going to through each set of drawers plus each drawer, I thought I would mention that I am not a professional makeup artist, everything I know I have either self taught or watched
