dupes :)

hey girls!
for those who don't know, dupes are products that look like one another, although one of them is usually for less. i was dying to buy this gorgeous eyeshadow at Sephora today, although i realized i already have quite a few similar to it anyways. on to a few dupes i have of my own...
:)
Too Faced Label Whore vs. MAC Blue Brown

Overall: Blue Brown can turn red quicker than Label Whore; another difference is that Label Whore turns smokier when packed on, while Blue Brown just sort of tends to wipe off if you put too much. Price wise, the MAC is a better deal because you get loads more product for $2.50 more :) But the Too Faced is definitely more convenient for touch ups because it's not as messy as the MAC which is loose eyeshadow. (my Too Faced looks loose only because it shattered, which is another downside-these eyeshadows are INCREDIBLY soft and fragile:( kjhvf)
MAC Moth Brown vs. Sephora Brand Mono #09

The MAC is more purple toned, while the Sephora has some gray in it. Moth Brown is limited edition, so while these two aren't identical, I still feel the Sephora is a great dupe- I even tend to reach for the Sehpora one more :)
MAC Green Brown vs. MAC Old Gold vs. Jesse's Girl unnamed eyeshadow dust

Overall, MAC Green Brown is *not* a dupe for Old Gold, but Old Gold and Jesse's Girl are verrrry similar in pictures, and even more so irl, the only difference being the price :)
