Casette is available in the TRIP palettes that you can get at the airport and other various duty free shops. I believe that the warm palette has casette in it.

Prankster (from the New holiday Warm Eye Palette- Devil May Dare) is similar to Unwind. They are both VP's:

Skintone 2 (From Notoriety Palette) and Gold tease (from the Devil May Dare Holiday Palette) are similar:

Oh My Darling (Devil May Dare Palette) and Blanc Type are similar:

Sorcery (Devil May Dare palette) and Real Drama are similar, along with Sketch although I wouldn't consider sketch a dupe for either but it's close. Real Drama and Sketch are much better than Sorcery IMO. Sorcery is poorly pigmented and goes on chalky:

I went through all the pages, haven`t found any answers... Are there any dupes for Earthly Riches mes, especially the grey side? Tx

I went on a loooooong mission recently to find a replacement for Alpha Girl, from the Heatherette collection. Even though I had to put gobs on to see it, the color was perfect for me.

After much trying, Dainty Mineralize blush is the winner! I originally was directed to Fleur Power, but, it was a bit to dark and intense to be as close as I'd like.

So, if you are sad over Alpha Girl being DC'd... there you go

How does Swimming e/s compare to Biogreen e/s. I was thinking of putting together a pro order and I already have Swimming (trying to save $ for the warm and cozy collection!)

TIA

I have both Swimming and Bio-Green, and they are different enough to warrant owning (and loving) both. Swimming is a softer green with more blue in it, whereas Bio-Green is a yellow-green, almost a true "leaf-green" with gold shimmer.

I don't know f this has been said but Creme Di Miel and Gold Dusk are basically the same on me.

While pressing pigments the other day I noticed that Heritage Rouge & Maroon are almost identical when pressed or swatched. Also Provence & Naked seem to be the same pressed or swatched as well.

Anyone know the dupes for the Smoke and Mirrors holiday palette? I love the palette, but would prefer full sizes in those colors.

Hi Ladies,

I'm allergic to all MAC lipglosses but not lipsticks for some reason...?

Does anyone own the LOVE NECTAR lipgloss and know what other brand carries that colour?

Another thread on this forum says Milani Coral Shimmer Lipgloss is similar. Does anyone agree?

 

[shimmercoconut]

I would love to know the best dupe for mac goddess blush!

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

if you have vintage grape blush ombre, you don't need dirty plum pro blush.

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

^Wrong. Dirty Plum is far more pigmented and deep, deep! Plus it's a discontinued PRO product!

Night Manoeuvres e/s = Showstopper e/s

Is there a lipstick dupe (MAC preferably) for Subculture lip liner?

I love its color and love how it looks on my lips but I'd prefer a lipstick to carry inside my purse, not a lipliner :S

I'm not 100% on this, but Blankety comes to mind for me.

I'm NW15 with pigmented lips.

are mac too fabulous mineral.blushes dupes for any other ?

is there a dupe for mac springsheen blush ?

 

[CajunFille']

I would love to know the answer to this question, too. I'm afraid to buy any of them b/c I already own waaay to many mineralize blushes, but if there was a shade that I didn't already have. I could make an exception.
