The one that offers cheap dupes.




I know this was a sort post but I am planning on finding more dupes for you guys and I'll try to update as much information on makeup dupes as much as I can, as I do think that there isn't enough out there informing us about different ways we can let go of brands like M.A.C which are a world favourite especially in America and the U.K.

Going animal cruelty free is a hard job, not just at Halloween, some of your favourite products or brands are obviously more than likely going to come from a brand that tests on animals. Its just our luck right girls?
Obviously the most popular brands are one like M.A.C, Esteer Lauder etc... but also some of the brands that I found that are cruelty free are not as generous when it comes to pricing, which is not so fair. I have manage to find some products that are 'dupes' if you like? of each other and show that some of the 'best' brands aren't always the best.
WARNING: Some of these products are NOT exactly the same especially in colour. However they are either the same in formula meaning the equality of the product is just as good or even better.

Animal Cruelty vs Non animal cruelty!

        

 M.A.C Electric Cool Eyeshadows Pure Flash          VS          Colour Pop Super Shock Shadow
I know the colour on these is not identical but pricing wise, packaging wise and formula wise both products are IDENTICAL! The M.A.C pure flash costs around $21 and colour pops cost around $5 (I could only find American pricing) this is a massive price difference for a product that is virtually the same and a bonus is that the cruelty free one by colour pop is cheaper which is mind blowing!



Urban Decay Naked 2   (top)    VS    W7 In the Buff Palette (bottom)


These products are just IDENTICAL! Although there is slight issue with the W7 palette which is that it isn't as pigmented as the Naked 2 palette, though if you just pack on slightly, you will see the colour being to brighten. The price difference is massive and amazing! From what I can see the Urban Decay palette will cost you around £30-£40 and....wait for it....the W7 will cost you £7.00. Which, for all you makeup lovers, is mind blowing! Now Urban Decay have mixed reposes about animal cruelty as they have previously said they don't test their products or ingredients and then came out and said certain products were sold in China although they did not mention which. So if you still want to purchase Urban Decay products then do it at your own risk. However I think I'm going to stick to the cheaper option....


                           
M.A.C Crème D'Nude      VS       E.L.F Natural Nymph

Although the colour of these is not identical it is very similar and have the same kind of consistency on the lips. They are made from a very similar formula and have a MASSIVE price difference. M.A.C's Crème D'Nude costs around £15 and E.L.F's Natural Nymph will cost you a whopping £5. E.L.F in my opinion although it is a lighter shade it does have a deeper pigment and a longer last. It allows for an easy application of any other lipstick or gloss that you may want to use and is super hydrating for a £5 lipstick.



NARS All Over Colour      VS       E.L.F All Over Colour Stick.

Now on the images above the colours do look very different however the are identical to each other. I haven't been able to find much on NARS being cruelty free or not, the last I saw was an article from 2013 saying that they were a cruelty free brand. However I do not know the facts about NARS as a cruelty free brand so I couldn't recommend it to you. Although even if it was cruelty free you could save yourself a dew bob when it comes to your shopping as E.L.F does offer a very very very similar product at $1 although I believe it is around £1.50 in the U.K and NARS' would be priced at around £20 in the U.K.
