I haven’t done this in a looooooong time! I posted a similar one way way back. It’s Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in Fire Engine which is a dupe of MAC Ruby woo lipstick. You can check my post here.
A couple of days ago, I was playing with a lot of my lipsticks. Swatching on my hand and on my lips. I mean I’m not the only one who does this right? :p
So I found out that my current favorite Rimmel Kate Long lasting lipstick in #11 has a dupe on the drugstore as well. I mean one isn’t really high end but Rimmel isn’t really a brand that we can get anytime here in Davao. I found out that the Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in Red Revival is a dupe for the Rimmel one!!!
I got so excited when I found this one because I don’t use my Rimmel Lipstick often because I’m aftaid after I used it all up I can’t get it again! Anyone does that also?? xD
Anyway, here are some swatches on my arm and on my lips. 🙂
A couple of things I noticed from the lipsticks:
- They are both in satin finish.
- They both are moisturizing. But I must say the Maybelline one is much more moisturizing than the Rimmel one.
- Both have a scent. But I love the scent better on the Maybelline one.
I haven’t worn the Maybelline lipstick often so I can’t really tell if it’s long wearing but from what I’ve heard and from what I tried from the other shades they do tend to stay on the lips for a long time. The Rimmel one is definitely long wearing sa I can only touch up with it twice for a whole day of going out.
If you have this two lipsticks do you think they’re dupes or not? Let me know your thoughts on the comment box below. 🙂
