If you have Blanc Type, then you don't really need Brule.
If you have Typographic, then you don't really need Print.
And on a side note, if you have UD's Flipside, you don't really need Shimmermoss.

I love this thread. I wish it were more active because there are many MAC dupes out there

I disagree, Brule is noticeably darker than Blanc Type or Vanilla on me (pale and cool toned). I'd dupe Blanc Type with Vanilla instead.

I am NW 15 or maybe a bit lighter and I have to say Provence and Naked are two different colors on me... Provence is lighter, more yellow and its sparkles are a little bigger and golden, whereas Naked is more orange/peach (? I hope it makes sense I am pretty bad at describing colors
) and the sparkles are smaller and more silvery than gold
But I guess they could be quite similar if swatched sheerly (or apllied as highlight) - but when foiled I can definitely see the difference

It's so true that some of the ones mentioned actually aren't dupes on different skin tones/undertones. I'm pretty light, so what looks different on me looks remarkably the same on my darker friends. Anywho - here are some MAC/UD shadows that are dupes on me. (Probably a bit lighter than NW20 right now - I need to fix that!!)
MAC/UD
Retrospeck = Blunt
All That Glitters = Blaze
Grand Entrance = Sin
Mink & Sable = Chains
I also recently purchased MAC's Coconut Ice nail polish and it's very similar to Essie's Van D'Go, but Essie's isn't as watery and needs less coats. My friend also said that Essie's Chinchilly might be similar to the grey polish from the Hello Kitty collection, but we don't have the HK polish to compare.

If you have Tarnish Eye Kohl, you don't need Greengrease GPS from Art Supplies! I swatched them side by side and they're identical shades and textures (sorry no pic, my Blackberry camera is appalling!)

On me Coppering is orangey-rust and Gash is pretty much red. Like if Cranberry and Mi'Lady had a baby, it would be Gash.
Gash is on the left, Coppering on the right.

Actually I think UD Shattered is a closer dupe for MAC's Shimmermoss than Flipside. Flipside is more vibrant, and bluer, whereas Shimmermoss is greener and has gold undertones.

if you have craving, then you don't really need lickable

It might depend on skin tone and lip pigmentation. I find there's a clear difference between Chatterbox and Impassioned on me.
However, I find Impassioned looks almost identical to Fusion Pink (PRO). FP does have a really cool sheen that Impassioned doesn't, though.
