Wet 'n Wild Cosmetics

NOW AVAILABLE IN NEW ZEALAND!

For those of you who are aren't familiar with this brand yet Wet 'n Wild is the #1 value brand in America!

They have been making makeup since 1979 and pride themselves on producing prestige-quality cosmetics at an affordable price. 

Now I reckon if millions of American women use and love their products they have to be pretty good...  So I was totally stoked when we received a big shipment at work and at last I could try some of their products :)

Over the last few years I watched lots of Youtube tutorials and Wet 'n Wild products feature a lot so it was always been a bit frustrating I couldn't buy them in New Zealand

I'll be posting some product review over the coming days but I'm keen to hear if you are familiar with this brand and what products you love.

DUPE ALERT - MAC Lipstick

MAC vs LA GIRL

 MAC 'Heroine' vs LA Girl  'Love Triangle'

Sometimes it feels ultra depressing when it seems 'everybody else' is wearing MAC lipstick and my budget just can't stretch far enough to afford this luxury :(

Of course it is no secret that MAC has achieved the status of 'holy grail of cosmetics' and has definitely become a status symbol. Their lipsticks with their signature vanilla scent, bullet inspired case and excellent quality have become a favourite of celebrities and girls on the street alike. 

MAC are constantly working on their lipstick range and tempting us with more gorgeous shades...  However if you are keen to achieve the MAC look without blowing your budget I suggest you look towards the many dupes available. 

Dupes (in the makeup world) are a "fantastic alternative" to the original product. While I'm loving purple lipstick just now I couldn't bring myself to pay the big bucks for MAC as I'm not sure this love affair is going to last!

This winter I've been wearing the LA Girl Matte Flat Velvet Lipstick in the shade 'Love Triangle' as a dupe for MAC 'Heroine'...

Have you got a favourite dupe shade for a MAC lipstick?

An expensive habit...

Loving Makeup can prove to be an expensive habit...

There is so much hype around makeup & unfortunately we are often led to believe that only high end makeup lines create great products & all quality makeup is expensive.  The big  cosmetic firms have massive advertising budgets & are tempting us to pay an arm and a leg in the vain effort to find that one cosmetic product that we just can’t live without.

The truth is that is possible to get the feel of high-end makeup without paying HUGE money & drugstore makeup was actually comparable to high end products...  Believe it or not!

Now I'm not saying all cheaper makeup products are great & that they are all comparable to the pricey designer cosmetics you so often covet from afar. But there are definitely  drugstore makeup alternatives that are absolutely awesome without costing the earth.

So over the next while I'm going to concentrate on sharing drugstore dupes that I LOVE & that I hope you will LOVE!

I hope you will share your favourite dupes in the comments section below too

Sorry....

Wow...  Life has been ultra busy & I've totally neglected my blog :(

I feel so bad about not posting in so long - I hate visiting blogs & not seeing any new content yet I'm guilty of the same thing!

But don't worry I've got a whole stash of new products so I'm going to make up for lost time & do lots of new posts in the coming weeks.

Make sure you come back and visit again soon
