Naughty Naughty! Copycat products

So yesterday, in my ELF haul I mentioned the uncanny resemblance of the Studio blush to a NARS blusher.  

Can you see the similarities?

Same clasp opening, same outer packaging, same inner packaging. The only difference is that ELF is shiny plastic and NARS is rubbery and matte. Also, the ELF blush has a window below the mirror. 

Even more so, take a look at the bottom of the blushers, they both have the raised bottoms in the same shape AND as you can see on the right, they are the exact same size.

Needless to say, the product isn't comparable in the slightest. Full review of that to come.

Still not convinced? Look at the film inserts in the blushers.

 Also on my naughty list for today are the MeMeMe benefit dupes. I only own Benefit Poppy Tint (how old is my bottle? I''m pretty sure I bought this when it first came out ugh! But I do know that MeMeMe stock a range of tints/highlights that are all too comparable in name and packaging. Below is the only one I own from MeMeMe, the Pussy Cat tint (Reviewed here).

Here is the full range that they sell:

L-R Pussy Cat (Benetint), Poppy Tint (Posie Tint), Sun Beam (Moon Beam), Beat the Blues (High Beam)

Have any of you tried these? Are they benefit-comparable or is it just in the packaging/product/name?

Honestly I love dupes and I get quite a buzz from finding them, however in these two instances I think it's a step too far.

I would love to hear your opinion..

OOTD #3: Christmas Day

Hi everyone!

Well it's that gap in Christmas day after the excitement of all the dinner and before the good TV starts. My family are all watching a movie on TV so I decided to take the opportunity to post a blog! :o)

Here is what I wore today, Christmas day...

**CLOTHING**

Here is the top, a turquoise chiffon Pussy Bow blouse from New Look, priced €29.99. Similar found here.

I purchased these boots from Asda, found here. Not only are they incredibly season appropriate and stylish, they are made from a lovely soft grey leather-type material. Also, they are comfy and have a very cute leopard print lining!

**ACCESSORIES**

These silver bracelets (above) are a set from New Look and the gold and red was a Christmas present.

**FACE AND HAIR**

Santa brought me a set of Babyliss Thermo Ceramic rollers and with this (and my first attempt) I was able to achieve BIG bouncy curls. I have struggled for ages to be able to get a good curl to my hair but to no avail. I have tried curling tongs, GHD's and velcro rollers, none of which have worked for me, hopefully this will solve my problem!

My make up consisted of:

Cheeks: Benefit Posie Tint

Lips: MeMeMe Pussy Cat tint

Face: No7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation in Tan

Eyes: L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara and Eyeliner

A very MERRY Christmas to all that celebrate it!

Can't wait to make more blogs in the new year :o)
