Time to test more so-called "dupes" and see if they are the real thing! Today I'm comparing MAC Rebel and Wet N Wild Sugar Plum Fairy.
- $17
- Satin finish
- MAC stores, online
Wet N Wild Sugar Plum Fairy:
- $1.99 (I've seen it around $1.34 and as high as $3)
- Semi-Matte
- Drugstores, Walmart, online
- They look similar in the tube and similar when swatched
Side by Side:
- WNW on your left, MAC on your right
- MAC wears better/longer to me
- WNW can cling to dry patches and makes it look darker in those areas
- WNW however stayed longer on the skin--the swatch was hard to get off!
- Overall: it's a dupe!
Do you think it's a dupe?
What dupes what you like to see compared next?
Extra Elle:
- Have you entered this giveaway? It's a good one, y'all. And international!
- Not much to report life-wise, and that's fine with me. Just late hours at work this week!
This is such a great color! So good to know its a dupe!

I couldn't tell the difference between the two! The WNW is a great alternative!
ReplyDeleteYou can't tell a difference between the swatches but on the MAC looks a bit more pigmented! I just bought that color and now I'm so excited to wear it! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeletewho knew?! that color is gorgeous - i will have to add to my list!

I like this color a lot! I've definitely noticed what you mentioned about WNW clinging to dry patches... but for the price I just keep going back to it, lol
ReplyDeletewow they look identical great find! x

Regardless of price - there is something about a MAC lipstick! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThat's almost scary how alike these two are! I do like the finish of MAC lipsticks in general as well, but dang! I love WetNWild:D
ReplyDeleteBut..MAC lipsticks smell so good!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dupe! I'm impressed by WNW!

Such a pretty color--and the dupe is so cheap!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I love finding more affordable alternatives to department store makeup. I am a total MAC girl, but I will definitely be trying the Wet N Wild lipstick now! :)

$1.99? I am all about that dupe!
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo, thank you Elle! I'm going to pick up the Sugar Plum soon!

Super excited about this, Elle! I have been wanting MAC Rebel but I have bought so much lipstick recently, I didn't want to spend that much money! I'm heading to the drugstore at lunch to check out sugar plum! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI watched your video this morning while getting ready. These are super close!!! I love Wet N Wild lipsticks! (:
ReplyDeleteThe look identical, what a find and a steal.
ReplyDeleteGreat dupe, lady! I have MAC Rebel in my vanity and I loooove it during the fall + winter!

Ooh wow, one that IS a dupe! I was actually just looking for some wine/berry hued lipstick so I'll have to check out the WNW version for sure. Thanks Elle!
ReplyDeleteI may have to pick the dupe up! I need to branch out with my lip colors, and this one is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat color is gorgeous on you!!! I am totally grabbing that Wet n Wild one because I rarely wear dark colors like that but gosh do I want to! My skin tone and eyes are similar to yours so maybe it will look good :)
ReplyDeleteI really like those colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on red lip colors but love dark colors so I'll def be picking up that WNW! I think I have one red color by them I like but it melted after I left it in the car LOL
ReplyDeleteThe colours are very similar indeed! Great alternative to anyone who doesn't want to splurge on the MAC one :)

That's a pretty close dupe! Thanks for sharing! I was actually expecting these to look darker based on how they appear in the tube.
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
Gorgeous color! I would definitely go with the Wet and Wild one although I don't usually prefer matte finishes. Nice review!
ReplyDeleteLove Rebel so much. *__*
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Friday...
Rebel is my favorite color!!!! Omg I cannot beleive how close these two are! When my rebel runs out I might have to pic up the WIW 1.99 what?!

When makeup is that cheap it makes me kind of nervous, I am a big fan of MAC lipstick. And that is a great color btw.

The shade is so pretty and they are so close! I'm going to get the dupe!

Wow, they are super similar!! I had no idea I had a Rebel dupe in my collection this whole time! I prefer the feel of MAC's formula and satin finish, but $2 or $17 (did they raise the price of their lipsticks recently!?!?) when you're on a budget? No brainer... Wet 'n Wild it is!
ReplyDeleteMuch Love!

I have Rebel and I really love that color! It's good to know that WNW is a good dupe for it, though I am such a fan of MAC lipsticks.
ReplyDeleteLove when you find a drugstore dupe! Wet 'n Wild is great for experimenting with a shade before investing in a more expensive brand
ReplyDeleteWell there you go! I am so glad to be back on the net as I was out of computer and internet for almost 2 months! On top of that doing posts on my phone, well let's just say AWFUL. I was thinking about you and praying for peace for you during the holidays. Hope you are well girl!
