mac lipstick dupes

Hey guys!

A couple of weeks back, I mentioned on my Instagram that I might have a couple of MAC lipstick dupes up my sleeve, and wondered if you wanted to see them. The response was an overwhelming yes! Which I wasn't surprised by - if someone told me that they had a few EXTREMELY close drugstore dupes for some of my favourite lipsticks ever that cost a bomb, I would for sure want to know.

I have a post here on my favourite MAC lipsticks here, if you'd like to read more on some of the colours I own. Honestly, from last count, I have 22 of them! I won't be writing a lot in this post - the swatches and colours will speak for themselves. Obviously they won't all be the exact same - the colour may be slightly off or the finish may be different, but these are all extremely close to the real deal IMO. 

Also, some photos are a little blurry/my lip swatches get a little sloppy. I'm sorry about that, but my lips were so sore by the end that I just wanted to get it on to show you and then take it straight off and take comfort in my favourite lip balm. But, I still believe that the colour is true in all of the photos - even if they are a little blurry.

Read on to see some great dupes and alternatives to some of your favourite MAC lipsticks!

And that's it! As I said, they may not be exact but hey - if you can get close without spending $36AU, that's a pretty good deal. I really hope you guys enjoyed this and found some dupes that you can go and use instead of breaking the bank!
