Estee Lauder Shadowsticks Vs. Mac Shadesticks

[glam8babe]

I was looking at some EL products and i noticed these:
Boots.com - ESTEE LAUDER

they are exactly the same as MAC shadesticks and i was wondering if anybody has tried these and can compare them to mac?

estee lauder is mac's parent company, so their quality is probably the same. usually estee just has more toned down colours while mac has flashier, louder colours.

I agree. They are very similar to MAC's version.

I only see two slight differences:
- E.L's shadowsticks really dry down to a powder texture. This makes them extra durable and I love to use them because they are a great base or highlighter, and are really crease free.
- E.L's shadowsticks are less frosty and more semi matte if I compare them to similar MAC colors.

02 Shimmer Sand is my absolute favorite (E.L)

they look great and yes MAC's parent is EL. It's just that the colours are more toned down than the MAC ones.
