MAC Dazzleglass vs. Drugstore Lipgloss

I was excited to receive a gift of MAC Love Alert Dazzleglass from my hubby.
Who needs flowers, right? LOL

I nearly DIED when I realized that the finished result could be achieved using a less expensive brand of makeup. Afterall, would anyone really be able to tell the difference?

The MAC Dazzleglass has a pleasant smell, that of vanilla.
The consistency is a little sticky. Not nearly as sticky as NARS!
(NARS has a tendency to GRAB your hair)
I found it necessary to reapply often to maintain the effect of the intensity & vibrancy of the dazzleglass.

Since my lips are quite pigmented, I know that I will have to stain my lips with another lip product or lay down a lip pencil to achieve the look I desire. Worn alone, the dazzleglass is pretty, but it doesn't scream FIYAH!

Other less expensive alternatives include...
L'Oreal GlamShine lipgloss $4-$10 (find 'em on ebay)
- PLUMPING diminishes base color over x
Maybelline Wetshine Diamonds Liquid $1.00
- (overall BEST staying power discontinued RUN to the dollar store!)
LA Colors moisturizing lip gloss $1.50 (sheer/too glittery)

NARS BLUSH vs. drugstore brands

I was very pleased with my previous blush/highlighter/bronzer purchase, so I decided
to invest in some wishlist NARS Powder Blushes to see what all the hype was about.

NEW members of my blush collection include:

NARS Crazed
NARS Exhibit A
NARS Taj Mahal


These come highly recommended from many in the Makeup Community on YT.
The shades I selected were reported to be especially flattering on darker skin tones. I wear MAC NC50 Select SPF.

I hear that NARS blushes are universally flattering on all skin tones. They are highly pigmented, so please build application slowly. I suggest using a fanbrush or a duo fiber brush so as not to apply too much product.

I found the level of pigment saturation to be superb. The texture of the blush is of the superfinely milled! However. When comparing to drugstore blushes I already own I found that the e.l.f. brand closely resembled the final result.
Of considerable note, an outstanding difference is I only needed to do one swipe of product for NARS & three of the other brands to get the equal intensity of pigment. The e.l.f. has slightly more shimmer. If you are on a budget, I recommend investing in the e.l.f. products. Perhaps you can treat yourself to a NARS on a special occassion.

Swatches coming soon. Plz ck back for updates!
