BATTLE OF THE DUPES #16: MAC vs. Rimmel
I follow AllInTheBlush on Instagram and she put up a post with MAC Velvet Teddy dupes and I thought I would try one out, to see the post she put up click here . PACKAGING (MAC): I normally like the MAC packaging when it's all black but when I purchased Velvet Teddy from the Debenhams store in Leicester they gave me this, I don't know if it is a special edition. I like the bullet style. I like the actual lipstick bullet. PACKAGING (Rimmel): I never really like the packaging f

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #15: MAC vs. NYX
For years I have been using MAC Face & Body foundation but when I saw on @dupeboss Instagram post saying that NYX Total Control Drop Foundation is a dupe for MAC Face & Body. If you would like to see the post then click here . Now the shades aren't dupes, it's the actual consistency that is the dupe apparently. I did a blog post recently on the NYX foundation: FIRST IMPRESSIONS: NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Drop Foundation . PACKAGING (MAC): The MAC comes in a matte

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #10: MAC vs. wet n wild
My first MAC lipstick was Creme Cup, this is my second tube of this lipstick so you can tell I like it and when I came across Pinterest dupes and that there was a wet n wild dupe I had to check it out. Just want to apologise for the quality of the pictures, I took them at 5am when I get up and do my makeup so it was dark but they were taken on my iPhone, when I first started writing this blog back in 2018 I had a Canon DSLR but sold it to my brother and still haven't repurcha

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #9: e.l.f. vs. MAC
I am obsessed with MAC Prep + Prime Fix+, I have bought quite a few mini versions of it but feel bad every time, you maybe wondering why I don't just buy the full size but I like to spray my face throughout the day so a mini in my handbag is so much easier. I have saw a few Pinterest and Instagram posts about dupes so I thought I would try one out myself. My skin is very dry at the moment so after applying my makeup I am not impressed with the matte look so thought I would sp

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

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

FOTD & OOTD: Simply Claire's Salon Christmas Fayre #Blogmas2018
I don't do many fashion blog posts and really want to get into them a little more so thought I would show you an outfit that I wore to Simply Claire's Christmas Fayre that I had a stand at for my business Maude & Noah plus also the makeup I worn in which one of the products I am actually doing first impressions on for a blog post. I just want to say that I am not a professional makeup artist, hairdresser, nail technician or stylist, this is all self taught (kind of- explanati

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #4: e.l.f vs. MAC
I love MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy so I decided to look for a dupe and on Pinterest there were a few posts about an e.l.f product being a dupe so I thought I would check it out. I opened both of the lipsticks and swatched them on my arm and you can clearly see that they are definitely not dupes, I don't understand how people can claim they are a dupe but I can put this claim straight. However when I put it on my lips they looked very similar on the lips, I am going to say th
