|
Chanel Glossimer in "Twinkle"
|
Caboodles lipgloss in "Smile"
|
Discovered by: Myriam.
"The Caboodles lipgloss is pretty good quality, too.
Goes on smoothly, stays put and doesn't have a weird taste.
...you can't see a difference - except for $20."
|
|
Chanel Glossimer in "Twinkle"
|
Prestige lipgloss in "Alloy"
|
Discovered by: Myriam.
"...it's slightly lighter than Twinkle,
but the *taste*! Good heavens, the thing smells ghastly,
I'm not kidding. It's a plastic-sweet taste that's hard
to describe, but I find it pretty revolting. It's sad,
because the gloss itself is pretty good."

Chanel "Ruby Slipper"
|
Revlon Super Lustrous "Dune Rose"
|
Discovered by: Signy.
|
|
Clinique "Blushing Nude"
|
Wet'n'Wild #518B
|
Discovered by: Rosa.
"W&W #518B is the exact same color as Clinique
Blushing Nude, except the #518 has a drier
texture and has a slight crayon smell. The Clinique
has no scent and is moisturizing and smooth."
|
|
Clinique Quickliner for Lips "Lipblush"
|
Almay Amazing Lasting lipliner "Nude"
|
Discovered by: teresa."...a dead ringer..."
|
|

|
|
Clinique "Tenderheart"
|
L'Oreal Rouge Pulp "Blushing"
|
Discovered by: hat-trick.
"The only difference is that Tenderheart has a slightly
peach cast to it, and Blushing is the same color
(pinky/browny) without the hint of peach."

|
Jane "Bareberry" Barely Lips lipstick (discontinued?)
|
Burt's Bees "Honesty" Wings of Love lipstick
|
Discovered by: Josephine.
I'm working from memory, since I no longer own "Bareberry."
"Honesty" though seems very close to that particular
natural, berry/brown shade.
|
|
Jane "Rosy Outlook" Barely Lips lipstick (discontinued?)
|
Revlon Absolutely Fabulous "Crave" lipstick #09
|
Discovered by: Josephine.
I discovered this quite by accident, I wasn't even
looking for something exactly like "Rosy Outlook." They
don't look 100% similar in the tube, but on, I consider
them dead ringers.
|
|
Laura Mercier "Tea Rose" lipstick
|
Maybelline Wear n Go "Go Pink Sand"
|
Discovered by: Lipstick.
"They are about the same density. When you rub on your
hand Go Pink Sand is a little more mauvy and Tea Rose
peachy pink but with the difference in price, you
won't see the difference.... at all."
Others dissent: "...I have both and I think they're
different - the LM is warmer, and the Maybelline is more
neutral." --stellina.
Lipstick: "I agree they're a bit different but when
I put them on, very hard to notice. Maybe it's because
my real natural lip color is not very light."

Discovered by: Nicole S.
|
|
MAC "Desire"
|
Prestige "Sheer Grape"
|
Discovered by: Rosa.
"Prestige Sheer Grape is the same color as MAC Desire,
except the Sheer Grape has an offensive scent (in my
opinion) and is dry; the MAC has a scrumptious vanilla
scent, is moister, and the color lasts longer."
|
|
MAC "O"

The copycat concept is that
you can often find a lower-priced or more easily obtained
substitute for a particular cosmetic item. (This may include
look-alikes for discontinued items as well.) Post that substitute
here, preferably with a few notes as to the similarities and
dissimilarities--help your fellow cosmetiholics!
