Soap And Glory MAC Dupe???

As you all know, my newest obsession is MAC Cremesheen Creme Cup Lipstick. 

I have worn it daily since I got it and I can't seem to part myself from it. It's gotten so bad I feel like I'm letting my blog name and reputation down with the obsession formed over this MAC lippie. 

However with that said, I've found a dupe for Creme Cup if its not exactly in your price range. Enter, stage left, Soap and Glory Fabu-Lipstick in "The Missing Pink". This is a satin finish pink nude.

So, how does it stack up against MAC Creme Cup?? 

The Missing Pink smells the same, and has the same lasting power but has a slightly duskier tone compared to Creme Cup. The finish is the same, that satin-feeling, super moisturising texture. On the whole, MAC comes off slightly pinker on the lips whereas Soap and Glory is a slightly more muted nude.

MAC has a tendency to show up more imperfections on the lip, and The Missing Pink seems to fill them in allowing for a more polished look all around. For a fraction of the price, you can have almost the same product with the exact same finish. 

Soap and Glory The Missing Pink is 11.50 in Boots 
MAC Creme Cup is 19.50 in Brown Thomas

Have you tried any other dupes for MAC? 

Let me know down in the comments!!

It's December and it's been too long since I did a favourites post... So lets get straight in, no kissing!! 

Dream Dots*. 

I used half a dozen of these in a week and I'm literally obsessed with them. There are not enough good words in the world to describe how well these dots work. They're not just a dream, they're a miracle!! Read my full review HERE. 

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

I shopped my stash this month in a bid to use up some products and make space for the impending Christmas spending spree, and in doing so I found my summer love, Nearly Naked. It's been great because when I'm not tanning, I like a light coverage foundation that just works in a colour correcting capacity, especially after I've eradicated my spots. There's no point in covering up good skin. 

Impress Press On Nails

I'm obsessed with Impress nails. They actually look good, unlike most of those glue-on jobs. I rocked glossy black ones in the week leading up to -and including- Chris's graduation and they looked wonderful. They don't damage your nails, they've flex and shock absorbing properties and they stopped me biting my real nails when I was stressed... I couldn't have asked for better this month! 

Nivea 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner

This stuff actually gives me life! I can't even begin to describe how good it has been for my skin. The fact that it's a 2 in 1 product was throwing me but it's great. Between this and the Dots, I've not had such well behaved skin!! Read my full review HERE

Johnsons Baby Shampoo 

I bought a bottle of baby shampoo last summer to clean my make-up brushes with, and I've still a quarter of the bottle left. If you want to deep clean your brushes, leave them soft and smelling lovely and you don't fancy springing for the No.7 Brush cleanser or the Blender Cleanser, then this is a great option. For a deep clean on eye and powder brushes once a week and every two days on your foundation, baby shampoo is a cost effective and all round great option. 

Love/Hate

My always lovely friend Kayliegh lent me the first 3 seasons of Love Hate on a shopping trip for her birthday and I'm hooked. I powered through 3 seasons in a week. All because I watched the season five finale. I need to know what's going on!!! Between Darren, Nidge, Fran and Siobhan, I'm up to 90. You'd swear I was in the middle of it! 

I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

The last time I watched I'm A Celeb, was the year Kerry Katona won it. That's a long time. Of course I kept vaguely in touch with the contestants and the drama over the years but this is the first year in a long time I'm watching it pro-actively. I love the line up, they're only mildly famous but the entertainment is maximum levels! Bush-Tucker Trials are so funny to watch, and part of me would love to experience it. Am I mad?? 

What have you been loving during the month of November??
