MAC Fanfare Lipstick Dupe - Yes or No?

Remember I asked you guys if these look like dupes to you and I was mighty pleased with myself for finding these. And the MAC Lipstick is----- (play along for my sake, come on!)

MAC Fanfare!! MAC Describes Fanfare as a mid tone yellow pink and Colorbar's Thrilling Pink is just that too. MAC Fanfare is definitely browner, and starts off looking like the little dull cousin of CTP, but like a lot of these Colorbar Velvet Mattes, Thrilling Pink darkens and starts getting brighter and pinker in a while (it really starts in like 10 minutes on me!) so it doesn't look like MAC Fanfare for too long.
Other than that, they are as similar in terms of texture and pigmentation like chalk and cheese whipped cream!
Pictures taken under different lighting, the first one is as accurate as it gets. These colours look a lot warmer than they are a lot of times.
 I should be happy that I don't own 2 identical lipsticks, but I like finding dupes! It's like my thing, like dragons are Ross's! (Yes! I'm a 90's child, Friends will always be my reference point!)
