From high end cosmetics to the bargain bins, MAC, Dior, Urban Decay,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! And MAC dupes for the latest collections…

January 1st, 2011

Sorry for the long delay in blog posts.  Life, work, and moving got in the way but one of my New Year’s Resolutions will be to update more frequently.  I think I am going to stop posting the generic MAC collection updates since there seem to be thousands of blogs with that info out there.  I want to make this site a little different and hopefully more helpful:)

So I will be updating with random product pictures, dupes, comparisons, swatches, and things like that.  I am always searching the net for certain stuff and it’s really great when I come across a blog with something I’m looking for, so hopefully I can provide some advice for you guys.

I have also really broadened my horizons and branched off into various makeup brands (NARS, Dior, Urban Decay, Smashbox, NYX, to name a few) so I will be comparing those products as well.

On a final note, I hope to have my first *BLOG SALE* with some very rare and hopefully tempting items that I need to find a loving home for:)  My husband and I move around the country at least 3 times a year for his job and it’s become nearly impossible to bring my collection along.  I went overboard buying and “collecting” makeup the past couple years and really need to condense.

Without further ado, here are the dupes… sorry they are so random but I have been writing these down on note pads here and there and finally figure I should type up the list and share with the rest of the world:)

*Just a note: Some of these might not be dead-on dupes, but they are similar enough to where you could substitute one shade for another, and/or to where you do not need to buy both (unless of course, it’s a total HG for you- I found this to be the case with The Faerie Glen;)

**I am MAC NW30 for reference, and MUFE 150
