MAC Style Black Mineralized e/s Dupe





It is difficult to capture the quality of the mineral with the camera. I was a little disappointed that the minerals did not appear as shimmery as on the website.
In person, they seemed to have more of the matte black base than the shimmer.
They were a bargain at half price. Trust and believe, they will not go to waste, I'll probably cut them with other minerals and use them as liners.

Milani Single Eyeshadows



I LOVE Milani single eyeshadows. I bought my first one several years ago on a clearance rack in Walgreens. Garden Mist. I was in LOVE, but I had NO IDEA what I had! After having been taught by many of the gurus on YouTube, great inexpensive MAC dupes, I had to go out & purchase more of these fabulous eyeshadows.

Intensely pigmented eye shadows that leave an incredible deposit of color on lids. Glides on silky-smooth, blends effortlessly and resists fading and creasing.

I am still on a quest to obtain them ALL.

You can find Milani single eyeshadows at Walgreen's for $3.99 each.
Once in a blue moon they will go on sale for Buy 1 Get 1 50% off.
I can't say I've ever seen them cheaper than that.

L'Oreal HiP Loose Eyeshadow Pigment Collection

I did not see these on the LorealParisUSA website. However, I still see them in stores. I purchased some of these on ebay and some during BOGO (Buy 1 Get 1 Free) sales at local drugstores.
I am missing only 2 that I'd like to add.
The white that reflects pink
as well as
the burgundy one. I probably don't need the burgundy one because it's rumored to be a dupe for MAC reflects blackened red, which I already own.

INTREPID (rumored to be a dupe for MAC Brown/Blue Pigment)
Reads differently, depending on what color base you use.

Show Orchid (Amplified Creme)


It smells soooo good!

NYX Current Lip Liner Pencil, & MAC Show Orchid

Pink Bronze & Cocomotion


Surprize Pigment & Reflects Antique Gold


Lidia said it best when she said
"NONE of us would ever be able to use up an entire container of MAC Pigment.
It is best to share with friends when you acquire one."

Take her advice.
If you have makeup buddies, please, SHARE your pigments.

Treat people how you want to be treated & you will reap what you sow.
Pay it forward. You NEVER know, you may just make someone's day.

Special Thanks to my YouTube Sistah
