Nars Shadow in Fez $24 at Sephora and Elf Shadow in Saddle $3 at Target and ELF.COM

You may look at these and think, no they are not a dupe someone tell her she needs glasses. However, if you see the swatches once they are on the skin and blended out they are pretty identical!

Can you tell if I flipped the image on you or not? Of course Nars is like butter goes on this shade the first swatch. ELF held its own with 2 swatches which is pretty good for $3. This is also without primer and without wetting either one also just right out of the packaging.

They are as photographed above Nars and then ELF but I wanted you to really think if you were being brand loyal and automatically saying NARS IS BETTER heheh. I use to do dupe posts a lot and I got a lovely email from a reader asking why I don't talk about ELF anymore. So this is for you, and I am going to go online and place an order so I can continue to post about what my readers like!

Hope you enjoyed this post, and just know that there are quality drugstore items out there. Once the product is on your eye no one knows if it's $24 or not it's all about application! I love being able to share good dupes with you!

Do you own these shadows? Do you think they are a good dupe?

It's that time again where I am completely bored with my hair. I have stopped putting dye on it so it would be healthy. That has worked but it's below my shoulder blades now when I straighten it. With it being 90 degrees outside it immediately goes up in a high top bun or a high pony to keep it off my neck.

I have gotten a trim, had bangs cut a few months back and I am still just bored with my hair. Long story short the hubby said to me over dinner, it's been awhile since you have changed your hair. I said "Do you miss not knowing who or what you might come home to" he said my hair was always a mystery for him hehe.

I never ask him or tell him when I change my hair and he has never cared either way. I cannot find any pictures since my other laptop has died on me ,of my hair journey. However, I can find some online to share the pics I took in to get my hair cut like. So in the past 2 years this has been my journey through celebrity hairstyles!

My hair started like Gwen Stefani's

(Hence the title of the blog post my hubby use to sing to me Colours by Donovan and that is from that song)

Swatches of lip liner and eye liner 

This lip liner reminds me of some of the new shades from Macs orange collection. It is a coral orange but I love it! If you  have been a longtime reader you might remember I reviewed Cailyn Gel Liners almost 2 years ago, in black and brown! I loved them then and I cannot wait to use this one up. Trust me when I say this liner will not be going anywhere! After I did these swatches I went to wash my hand and this Cailyn liner was not moving, it is a truly long lasting gel liner!

So tell me what you got in your Ipsy bag! This is my first type of monthly box so, I am glad I started with Ipsy because it has treated me good so far hehe.
