DUPE: MAC Hey, Sailor! Blush in Fleet Fast

If you guys remember last May MAC released their 2012 summer collection called Hey, Sailor! I scrambled to get my hands on the blush called Fleet Fast because at the time I thought it was pretty unique. Clearly that was not the case since we're here in a dupe post!

DUPE: Urban Decay Naked Palette Eyeshadow in Sin

 The Urban Decay Naked Palette is one of my most coveted items, I use it every day without fault! Lately I've been cycling through my other eyeshadows to find a lot of them are similar to shades in the Naked Palette.

I'm going to start doing a lot more "DUPE" posts because nothing irritates me more than coming home with a new item only to find I pretty much have the exact same shade from another brand!

I used to think "dupe" meant a cheaper alternative to a higher priced item, but I don't know why it only just occurred to me that a dupe is really any product that looks or acts similar to another product no matter the price point.

So just recently I compared a shade in my collection to the eyeshadow Sin from the Naked Palette that are very similar in every way except cost!

DUPE: Clinique Blushing Blush Powder in Aglow

 

 I recently got a little sample version of Clinique's Blushing Blush Powder in "Aglow" in my stocking for Christmas, and I couldn't help but notice it looks a lot like e.l.f.'s Studio Blush in "Peachy Keen"!

Clinique's full-size blush in Aglow costs $20.00 while e.l.f.'s blush in Peachy Keen is only $3.00

As you can see in the swatch, Aglow is a little more gold and Peachy Keen is more of a lighter peach color but they both have the exact same shimmery finish.

The Clinique blush has a smoother texture, is more pigmented, and has a longer wear time while the e.l.f. blush is a tad chalky, requires some building, and wears off in about 3 hours.

But if you're looking to save $17.00 and don't mind the difference in fomula, definitely check out e.l.f.'s Studio Blush in Peachy Keen, there's absolutely no difference in color when its on your face!
