ZORRO FINDS MAC COSMO LIPSTICK DUPES

Well..  ALMOST...
:P
So missing in action and apologizing and coming up with lame excuses has become a routine around here. Hence, I decided I'll take matters into my hands.. and feet... spank Ik and do a blog post!
You'll like me better than Ik anyway.. a lot more personality here.. ;)


So you all hoard? you all happen to buy the same things over and over again? Ik does too..
Well I'm the man.. all her lipsticks look the same to me.. but since I'm on the more artistic side with an amazing eye for detail... I decided these 3 lipsticks look very very similar on her lips.


Well you all know how busy I am.. especially on Sundays.. so lets just go ahead and check out the pictures!
L-R Maybelline My Mahogany, MAC Cosmo, MaxFactor Rosewood




L-R MaxFactor Rosewood, MAC Cosmo, Maybelline My Mahogany


MaxFactor Rosewood & MAC Cosmo






Rosewood comes very close to the MAC Cosmo lipstick.. is a wee bit more pink.


Bot on lips, you cant tell the difference much when freshly applied, since the MaxFactor lipstick leaves a stain behind.. and MAC doesnt... you clearly know the difference..




Upper lip- MaxFactor Rosewood & Bottom lip, MAC Cosmo


I forgot to click pictures with My Mahogany and Cosmo.. In the pictures you can see the stark difference, but in person.. you cant tell much of a difference.. that could be because Ik is partly blind and I'm a guy...:)
what'll you do!


What would I pick? MAC for the main reason that it doesnt test on animals. :)
EDIT: Maybelline My Mahogany IS NOT a Cosmo Dupe. Rosewood is as similar as it gets, but it's not the exact colour either.

Lets not blame Z here! :)
