NYX to MAC Dupe Series: NYX Atlantic VS MAC Freshwater

This match is talked about A LOT. I alway hear about how NYX Atlantic is a dupe to MAC Freshwater. We will soon see how true this is!

NYX Atlantic VS MAC Freshwater

NYX Atlantic VS MAC Freshwater

NO, NO, NO! NOT a DUPE! I don't need to explain why, you can so SEE it! I do like NYX Atlanti better on my warmer skin tone than MAC Freshwater. BOTH are amazing blues, just NOT the same.

AM I RIGHT on THIS ONE LADIES? Thoughts?

NYX to MAC Dupe Series: NYX Mermaid Green VS MAC Humid

I couldn't wait to see the swatches on this one!

NYX Mermaid Green VS MAC Humid

 HOLY MOLY! Which is which..LOL

NYX Mermaid Green on top and MAC Humid on the bottom

These look damn near identical!! Humid has a tad more gold in it but that is about it.

Skip Humid, save the cash and get Mermaid Green instead!

What do you think?

NYX to MAC Dupe Series: NYX Spring Flower VS MAC Swish

So I'm back to my NYX to MAC dupe series. It has been awhile since I did one of these, but I had every intention to geting back to this.

If you are new to my blog, this is a series that I started based on the NYX to MAC dupe list that I found on-line.

On the list, I highlighted all the MAC shadows I own and bought the corresponding NYX shadows that are claimed to dupes for the MAC shadows.

The point of the posts is to how close these said dupes really are to the MAC shadows, in hopes to save you all some money!

Here are some the past NYX to MAC dupe series, in case you missed them or just as a refresher:

NYX Iced Mocha VS MAC Satin Taupe

NYX Rust VS MAC Cranberry

NYX Jungle Fever VS MAC Steamy

So this battle is with NYX Spring Flower and MAC Swish

Here they are in the pans:

 AND the swatches..do you know which is which??

NYX Spring flower is on top and MAC Swish is on the bottom.

They DO look pretty similar, Swish is more pigmented and a bit more purple, but the colors are very similar.

What do you think of the colors? LMK!!

NYX to MAC Dupe Series: NYX Iced Mocha VS MAC Satin taupe

I'm back with the NYX to MAC dupe series. I thought it would be  fun to see if the dupes were really that close or just a waste of time and hopefully in the process, I could save you some time and money!

I could not wait to see the results of this one!!

SO...Can you tell the differance??


this one might be easy since so many people are satin taupe lovers




So..yeah..Nyx Iced Mocha is on the left and MAC Satin Taupe is on the right.
Satin Taupe is much more pigmented than Iced Mocha and IMO easier to work with. Iced Mocha is VERY soft, almost to soft for me. HOWEVER, they are pretty close in color, so I think it is a pretty close dupe colorwise, not identical, but close enough for me. It you want satin taupe and can not afford the $14.50 ($11 for pro pan) than this color is really a great dupe!



Side by side..IMO they look more identical in the pan than the swatch



NYX swatch on top, MAC on the bottom

SO..what do you think? Is it a good dupe?


My two favorite sites to buy NYX products are at Cherryculture.com and Nonpareilboutique.com

NYX to MAC Series: NYX Jungle Fever VS MAC Steamy

Now MAC steamy creases on me..which I HAVE NO FRIGGIN IDEA WHY!! I love the color, but is some how it does not love me, so to find a dupe for this color would be HEAVEN!

DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IS WHICH?




this might not be to hard...




So, MAC Steamy is on the left and NYX Jungle Fever is to the right
You know what? I prefer NYX Jungle Fever!! Maybe because of my beef with steamy, but I honestly like that the color better and I like that it is not as sheen as steamy. Although steamy is a gorgeous color, I really like jungle fever too and the color is quite similar minus the sheeness.

NYX Jungle Fever swatch is on top and MAC Steamy is on the bottom

So what do you think of this dupe?

NYX to MAC Dupe Series: NYX RUST Vs. MAC Cranberry

So this is the start of the NYX to MAC dupe series.  A few posts ago, I put up a NYX to MAC DUPE LIST. I thought it might be fun to see how close of a dupe these products were to the real thing, so I bought the NYX dupes for the MAC shadows that I already own in hopes of seeing if there was any differance.
PLUS, I'm the kinda gal that needs to see it to believe it, so this helped me too :)

By doing these swatches I was also surprised to find that I liked some of the NYX colors and pigmentation over the MAC ones, but that will discussed in future posts.

Now..on to the BATTLE!!

CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERANCE?

DO YOU WHICH ONE IS NYX RUST AND WHICH ONE IS MAC CRANBERRY?




NO PEEKING







IF you thought MAC Cranberry was to the left and NYX Rust is on the right..THEN..you..were RIGHT!!

They look VERY similar don't they?? MAC cranberry is a bit stronger in pigmentation, but NYX rust is much easier to work with and apply



Here they are in the pan, they even look very similar in the pan


NYX rust swatch is on the top and MAC cranberry swatch is on the bottom

SO what do you think? More colors to come soon :)

MAC to NYX Dupe list

ARE THEY REALLY THE SAME?

Hey Everyone! I found this NYX to MAC dupe this from Specktra. Above are pitcures of NYX Atlantic and MAC Freshwater, which are clamied to be dupes of each other, but will soon see if this is true!

I thought it would be neat to do a NYX to MAC dupe series, so the ones highlighted on the list in yellow are MAC shades that I own (highlighted in green I am getting soon) and I will buy the NYX shades, to see how close of a dupe they really are, take pictures, swatches, and write a quick review, so you can judge for yourself before buying either one of the shadows.As I buy more MAC shadows (my collection is always growing) more will be added! So what do you think of this idea?

I will also put a link in the sidebar of my blog so can quickly referance the the list and the dupes, as I post them.

Hope you enjoy the list!!
