Mac Paint Pot vs Revlon Illuninance Creme Shadow

I have 2 Mac Paint Pots and I LOVE THEM!  I have (Bare Study) that I use all the time, for 3 months and it looks barely used.  It sticks to the eyelid great and I have not had a problem with it creasing.  I also have Rubenesque that is a pretty rose gold that will be be good over the summer.  Both of these colors stand alone and look great with other colors.  Another good thing about these pots are they last on your lids for all day.  I have kinda a greasy lid and sometimes these types do not last on me.  The paint pots come in 5g jars and let me just say (THEY LAST)!
I recently purchased the (740 Seashells) Revlon Illuminance Creme shadow, because the colors are pretty and I wanted to see how it stands up.  There is a creamy gray\purple, a kind of Mary Kay box pink, creamy white, and a very shimmery light pink.  The colors are close to true, and they look great one; however, with my eyes they do not last all day.  Coming from Revlon it is sorta disapointing because generally there products stick on me like glue =)  Now it is not completely gone but it did crease through out the day so each time I would smear it down (of course some would come off. 

Breakdown:

I prefer the Mac Paint pots  even though the price is around $17 you get a lot for your money (if you can decide on a constant color.
Revlons net weight is 0.12 oz between the 4 pods and just doesn't last long at almost $10 for a set. 



Hope this helps and I can't wait to tell you how to do a SUPER cute updo by yourself! 
Goodnight!

MY First DUPE!

OMG!  I am so excited!  I found my first dupe over the past week!  Ok, walmart is now selling Essie (not in all locations yet) I was very excited when I found a very light lilac purple called (nice is nice).  When I got home and began to paint I realized that I had the same color!  I had purchased the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in (270 Lacey Lilac).  Lacey Lilac has a little deeper purple tone in the bottle, but goes on the nail smoother, once it dries it is an exact replica for a meer $3.00 versus $10.00 for Essie!  

Hello!

I have been looking into starting my own blog and with careful thought and consideration, I thought I would begin a blog for the FRUGAL FASHIONISTAS!  I am a married mom of 4, I work full time and I am a full time college student.  It is important to look good while I do this as well!  I figure if it is important to me, it is important to other moms as well!  I look forward to meeting y'all and hope we can learn together!
