Hold Your Horses - Dupe List

If you're planning to purchase Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense lipstick #45 or Moulin Rouge, then take a moment to read this post as I had an amazing revelation.  Now, quick! See my picture above, and choose which one is Moulin Rouge or MUFE #45.  Clueless?  One of the top 3 is Moulin Rouge, while the other is NYX round lipstick Chaos and MUFE #45. 

Give up?

Based on swatch above, I came to believe that NYX Chaos, MUFE #45 and MUFE Moulin Rouge are triplets albeit separated at birth.  MUFE #45 and Moulin Rouge were adopted by the rich uncles, while NYX Chaos was raised by a less fortunate relative.  The MUFE artist that I talked to last night even insisted that I wore Moulin Rouge (I had Chaos on) when I stopped by at the counter to do some swatching. Undoubtedly #45 is pinker but all three have similar undertone and lasted as long (at least on my hand).  Chaos glides better on the lips (more moisturizer, perhaps?) while the MUFE ones drag a bit on the lips. 

There you have it.  3 almost identical lipsticks, one is Rp 60.000 while the others are Rp. 235.000.  You're welcome.

Swatches from top-bottom: MUFE Moulin Rouge, NYX Chaos (l), MUFE #45 (r), MUFE #44

FOTD-Nov. 2, 2009

My arms still ached after on and off picking up Kasih during my office Fun Walk yesterday. Today's highlight though was trying out the new products from NYX.
The makeup bag that I won included this ver pretty baby pink single shadow. The naming was quite a misnomer cos this baby was really a ver light lavender.

I also used the lip pencil in purple rain and topped it off MAC purple grape warrior collection lipstick.
I'm eyeing 2 fabulous mega shines at the stores and couldn't wait till next month to purchase it.

FOTD-Oct.31, 2009

I'd been on denial. I'd refused to believe that the tiny short handled brush included in my MAC red holiday palette actually worked. Well, the truth isa it only works when one's planning to dress up for Haloween in which the eye makeup could be totally bat crazy! I didn't do my eye this morning cos I planned on doing my brows. At work,I took out my palette and started primping. WHOA! Who's that crazy lady staring back at me. And my palette is a warm one, so one could hardly do wrong with it. It took me several minutes, 15, to get everything back to normal. Thank the Lord I brought along my elf eye shadow brush.

My FOTD for NYX Contest

I was running out of time!!! It was one day before deadline of the NYX Contest in Fashionese Daily. So I rushed out of the shower and then put on all the NYX products in my posession : jumbo eye pencil in Black bean, round lipstick in Chloe and megashine gloss in Beige.



The rest of my face I used my usual Revlon foundation, MAC blushes Fun & Games.

FOTD - October 13, 2009

A very simple look for today.

I've been loving my new lipstick combination: NYX round lipstick Chloe + YSL Rouge Pur #19, Revlon lip pencil in Mauve, top by NYX lipgloss in Beige.

For cheeks I've started to get a hang of my PAC blush in brown which I used to contour, then I blended either TBS blush on #4 which is a peachy pinkish color that a horde of people claimed pretty similar to Nars Orgasm. I disagree, though, and had made a comparison swatch to it in this post.



As always, can't leave the glasses-on look cos my glasses always the last piece of make up (well, not really makeup per say) I have on my face.
