7 MAC Lipsticks Duped by Wet-N-Wild


Have you ever visited the MAC makeup counter just to look at all the pretty lipstick colors only to leave feeling sad because you can't buy ALL THE COLORS?!!! ME TOO. So I am on a mission to save us all from that feeling! I have thrown together a list of the B E S T dupes that will save you TONS of money.


Below is a list of 7 MAC lipsticks that have been duped by Wet-N-Wild, who is quickly becoming my favorite lipstick brand.  All of the MAC lipsticks listed are between $15.00 and $18.00. The drugstore dupes by Wet-N-Wild come in at $1.99 each. CAN YOU BEAT THAT?? No. You could buy every WNW lippie on this list and it would still cost less than ONE of the MAC lippies.

More after the cut!

Something To Believe In - Parachute

I know it's been a while since I have posted and this will be the last time I make one of these apologetic opening statements. I graduated from college two weeks ago and I finally have free time at home to work on the blog. I have been documenting makeup and looks over all of this time so I definitely have some catching up to do.

About a month ago, I went to a Parachute and Andy Grammer concert on my campus. It was such a great show and I was so excited to have them come to my school!

For this look, I used some clothes in the back of my closet for a surprisingly chilly and rainy day. My makeup look included a clean cat-eye with an overall natural finish.

50 Ways To Say Goodbye - Train

Hi all! I promise I'll stop starting off every one of my posts with, "I'm sorry I haven't been posting." A week or so ago I went to Train and Mat Kearney's concert with my mom and her friend. I had a really great time. I'm a big fan of Mat Kearney. It was great to finally see him live. I wasn't disappointed. I saw Train last year with Maroon 5. It was nice to see them again, as well. Very talented people! If you have a chance: be sure to check out the tour!

Here is my eyeshadow look from that show:

Boston - Augustana

"I think I need a sunrise. I'm tired of the sunset."

Hey everyone! I'm adoring my new palette. I had a bit of time yesterday to try out some new colors before I had to leave the house. I snapped some quick pictures and I'm here to show you how it turned out!

The other night I saw a gorgeous sunset with unique colors. It was the inspiration behind this look. (So cliche, I know. It really was beautiful, though.)

Ours - Taylor Swift

Hello, loves!

Yesterday I went to the hair salon. I was really feeling my outfit, so I decided to try out some new eyeshadow to compliment it. I really like how it turned out. I am loving my new MAC pigment that I got for Christmas. It is flawless.

Moment 4 Life - Nicki Minaj

Hey everyone! In the beginning of the summer, I was playing around with eye shadow. I came up with a white/purple/blue look. I started off wanting to imitate Britney Spears' eye shadow in the "I Wanna Go" video, but I ended up doing this instead when I found some old blue eye shadow!  I went out for the day and when I came home I remembered to snap some pictures. This is what I came up with:

Gone - Scotty McCreery

Hey everyone! Hope you all have been doing well. This weekend I went to Scotty McCreery's homecoming in Garner, North Carolina! If you don't know, Scotty is a finalist on American Idol. When you make the final 3, you get a hometown visit! I'm super proud of Scotty and so happy he's representing North Carolina. I had a great time there and I am so happy for him! Be sure to watch American Idol this Wednesday on FOX at 8:00p.m. Please vote! I'm hoping he'll bring home the win!

Anyways, I'm here to post the eyeshadow look that I wore that day. This is my favorite eyeshadow look. I wear it almost every single day. I have received so many compliments. I can dress it up with eyeliner, or tone it down for when I'm just running out the door to go to class.

Eyeshadow: Peacock - Katy Perry


If you know me, you know peacocks are my favorite animal. I was wearing my peacock necklace today and I was inspired to create this eyeshadow look! It is a fun night-time look. I love how it turned out.
Plus, I really want to make an eyeshadow look for every song off of Katy Perry's album "Teenage Dream." Her songs are colorful and I think I can makeup some creative eyeshadow looks!

Make You Feel My Love - Adele



Worst. Make Over. Ever.
I mean, just to be completely honest, this was a horrible experience for me. I showed up at the Laura Mercier counter to have my make up done by a group of traveling "professionals" but I honestly feel my 6 year old brother could have done better.

Here is where it went wrong: they didn't ask what I w
anted to done, which is standard procedure.
Next thing they did wrong: bad mouthing the brand that they were supposed to be representing as well as other makeup brands. In particular, saying MAC has horrible skin care. This is common knowledge (they were created as a color line, not particularly skin care) but still, very unprofesh.
The last thing they did wrong: openly admitted that they were just doing easy applications so they could go to lunch earlier. NOT okay.

If anything good came from this experience, its that I go
t to try this AMAZZZINGG refreshing stuff from Laura Mercier. I did a little research on it, and it says that they harvest it off the coast of japan a few times a year. It was really thick for water but
made my face feel great. WHY have I never heard of this before?
**side note: I ordered essie "matte about you" because im obsessed with matte/gloss manicures. pictures to come soon. also, I found Shatter Polish! YAY!
