Milani Serendipity Lip Gloss/MAC Oh Baby Lipglass Dupe




I love all metallic lippies! I recently watched a vid by Erin (scandalous beauty) on You Tube. She said that Milani Serendipity is a dupe for MAC Oh Baby Lipglass. Always the spendthrift, it merited investigation.

I purchased mine from Walgreen's for $4.99.

Swatch (Tungsten Lighting/no flash)


MAC Oh Baby Tinted Lip Glass $14
Shade description: Golden bronze flecked with sparkling glitter (Glitter)




The difference in price? $10...work it out!

Jesse's Girl Baked Powder Eyeshadow (UPDATE)



Swatches


I was able to get a few more colors to round out my collection.

NIGHT VISION


MOON BEAM


SKYWALKER


GOLDEN MEADOW


CHERRY BLOSSOM


I still didn't pick up the cream with gold because they were all shattered.
This is a very delicate product. I think they should seriously take a page from MAC & add a protective shield to cover the dome of the baked shadow. My Skywalker was a casualty on the way home. Fortunately, the exchange was hassle free. If you do consider purchasing these, please be very careful when you place them in your purse.

MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow - Sea & Sky
with
Protective Plastic Cover


I was EXTREMELY impressed with the quality & pigmentation. I even compared them to my MAC Sea & Sky Mineralized Eyeshadow. Sorry MAC, Jesse's Girl is WAY MORE PIGMENTED! A steal @ $3.99. Be FORWARNED, they are VERY FRAGILE! These are limited edition & I have not even seen them on their website yet. So snatch these up while you can!

GASP! Bee still my heart!

If you are searching for a less expensive alternative to MAC Dazzleglass, you may be interested in this product!

This lipgloss has a pleasant vanilla smell. My 12 year old daughter said is kind of smells like sugar cookies. It also has a sweet vanilla taste.

Walgreen's sells them for $5.99 each. CVS sells them for $6.99 each. CVS is having a BOGO this week. Buy 1 Get 1 half off.


I'd love to collect them all.
So far, I have 3.

Gold with Gold Shimmer



Bee Bold 08
Orange/Copper with Gold Shimmer



& hot to death for fall...

Bee-Utiful 07
Chanti Plum with Shimmer
