Fancy saving over half the price?

Today is one of the best days because its the day I finished exams. It is a day that lacks any great achievements but the day is good- you get to do nothing and not feel guilty about it. But today also means that I can start blogging and making videos alot more, hooray!

I am currently in the process of editing my haul that will be on my channel tomorrow afternoon, as I have planned my day out for tomorrow and I know that videos take about 4 and a half hours to upload (So ridiculous). As I mention in the video 3 for 2 always makes me overspend as I just can't help myself. I mean 3 for 2, come on! I just can't not.
Something I've had my eye on for a while is the Revlon lipstick which is 'Mauve It over'. It's such a lovely nude that gives my lips the 'your lips but better' colour. I think it would work with pretty much every skin type because its a darker nude rather than a more beige type of nude. Okay I feel like this is turning into how many times can I say nude. Do you think?
Anyway, I tried it on when I got home and it really reminded me of a lipstick I already owned. I've only just started collecting lipsticks and I started my collection with much more affordable brands such as Collection 2000 and Natural Collection. I had purchased a colour from Natural Collection (again 3 for 2), which is a brand by the drugstore Boots, in the colour "Biscuit". Revlon lipsticks are priced at £7.49, and when I compared the colours they are really similar, but Natural Collection lipsticks are only £1.99.
Okay the Natural Collection lipstick is a bit more shiny than the matte texture that is offered from Revlon, and 'Mauve It Over' provides more pigmentation, but I would consider it a dupe that is really worth investing in at well over half the price.
I'll put some pictures in so you can all see the difference....



Thanks for reading, 
Have a great weekend!
