Yesterday I was shopping for a makeup swap and I decided to pick up some items from Ulta3. Now Ulta3 are well known for their amazing $2 nail polish however since I was at a Terry White Chemist they had the full range of products - including a selection of matte lipsticks! The one that immediately caught my eye was the colour Harem Pink, and how similar it looked to my favourite Mac Lipstick - Impassioned.
So of course I picked it up to compare at home and, ding ding ding! WE HAVE A DUPE
The packaging :)
Impassioned vs. Harem Pink
Now do keep in mind that you do have to build up the colour in the Harem Pink, where as Impassioned is opaque in one swipe. However this is what I would expect from a $3.95 lipstick vs a $36 one.
If you ladies don't have access to this brand, don't worry because I picked up an extra one to be included in my upcoming giveaway!

Oh wow, they do look almost exact! This is such a great find! I'm so glad there's a Terry White Chemist in the shopping centre where I work, definitely going in and checking out their lipsticks! xx
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you find any other awesome colours!

That is crazy. They look identical! Is ultra 3 very drying on the lips?
ReplyDeleteI find all mattes to be a tiny bit drying - but it's not uncomfortable to wear!

omg that's sooo alike! i usually like seeing dupes post but usually there would be noticeable difference between colors like undertone, finish, etc. That dupe you found however is just so epic. maybe they were separated fr birth!
ReplyDeleteThe Mac one is maybe 1% matter but that's about it!

This is perfect! I've not seen a fully stocked Ulta range before, just the nail polishes, but this is such a wonderful looking lipstick!
