NK Amethyst Lip Stick = NARS Fast Ride (Fall 2009) Dupe?

NARS recently gave us a sneak-peak @ their Fall 2009 Collection.

"The NARS woman may have a very classical look," says François Nars, "but she still likes to stay on the edge, and remain in touch with fashion."

This seemingly dark purple may intimidate, but swipe it across the lips and its true shade is revealed: a sheer mulberry. A color that falls somewhere between an intense plum wine stain, and a moody, deep violet.

The glossy grape hue is a playful, cool alternative to more common dark lip color options.


I was intrigued by the new Fast Ride lipstick. ($24)
It's described as a sheer mulberry.
I KNEW I could dupe it with something in my collection.



I stumbled upon
NK lipstick in Amethyst $1.00
&
NYX Long Lipliner Pencil in Prune $1.00


I like shimmer, so I added Milani BEE-tiful BuzzWorthy Lip Gloss.

Milani Dressed Up = MAC Rue D'Rouge Dazzleglass Dupe?

Click on any photo for large view


In full support of my makeup obsession, my husband lovingly purchased this lipgloss to me, despite the snickers of the women in the comsetics department @ our local Walgreens. Now, that's true love! LOL

I did feel all "Dressed Up" when I topped one of my favorite shades of red lipstick with this beautiful lip gloss. It evoked color & texture reminiscant of Dorothy's Ruby Red slippers from the Wizard of Oz.


You need this in your life.
It's a steal @ $4.99 vs. $18.00 for the MAC Rue D' Rouge Dazzleglass. That's a savings of $13.00.


1) Milani Bonfire Lip Pencil (outlined & filled in)



2) NK Lipstick $1.00 #100 Ruby Red dupe for MAC Ruby Woo lipstick $14.00
(MAC Ruby Woo is matte, but the NK Ruby Red has a little shine to it)


3)The piece d' resistance: Milani DRESSED UP Lip Gloss $4.99

BETTER SWATCHES (Jesse's Girl Baked Eyeshadow Powder)

LOVELY!

Many have inquired as to whether the baked shadows would be available online for purchase. I sent Cathy from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics an email & she said,
"Our new Baked Eyeshadows will be available at some point in the near future...not sure exactly when yet. I'm sure we will announce it via an e-mail to those signed up on our website."

If you'd like to be kept in the loop, please sign up for their email updates.
