Another Summer Lip Classic


Here's another tried and true classic dupe just in time for the warm summer weather.  Pink is by far my most favorite color to wear on my lips, and each season calls for a transition to the appropriate shade.  We talked about Candy Yum Yum and Milani Matte Orchid in the last lip post; so let me introduce you to the rest of my favorite pink lippies and their inexpensive counterparts...Affectionately known as the Dupe Squad;-)

The next 2 heavy hitters on the squad are both from e.l.f., the Essential $1.00 line no less.  They are dupes for Viva Glam Nicki, which the shade is called flirtatious, and Viva Glam Rihanna, whose twin shade is called Sociable.


I am in love with the e.l.f. formula, and the lipstick is very moisturizing.  Wet n Wild Megalast lipsticks also have beautiful dupe shades for these iconic Mac lipsticks as well; Pinkerbell for Nicki, and Cherry Picking for Rihanna.  The formulas are semi matte and long lasting.


I'm loyal, so my dupe squad won't ever completely replace the originals for me, but its nice to know I can still get the same look from something less expensive. 


For the price of one of my Mac Pinks that I can't live without, I am able to purchase like 6 of the Wet n Wild colors, and like 8 of the e.l.f. essential shades.   I like to keep a lip twin on deck, after all, a girl can't ever be caught out here in these streets without her favorite lip colors, and if I am, I can just pop in the drugstore and snatch them up! ~The Queen~
