Dupe maybe???? LA Girl Soulmate vs Mac Runaway Red

I recently purchased Runaway Red from the Shop Mac Cook Mac collections and even though it's slightly darker than my LA Girl Soulmate lippie, it reminded me a lot of it. I may even say it's a dupe. You be the judge...


Oh!!! Also, Runaway Red has a Satin finish and is more matte than Soulmate.

L.A Girl Soulmate Luxury Creme' Lip Color Review and Swatches

Let me tell you how I fell in love with lipstick...

Meet my soulmate :) Well not my real soulmate but this lipstick comes in very close. It's a rich blue-toned red. It's very creamy and goes on opaque. It gives about 4 hours of wear.

This is the first red lipstick I dared to try and have been in love ever since. I even got so brave that I started trying more bold  colours.

I have a few other shades in this brand which I absolutely can't get enough of. I'll try my best to review them, even in the bad state that they're in :)

Also, I'll try to do a lip swatch but I really don't like how my lip looks when I do close-ups :(

The formula:

Its blend of moisturizing ingredients of aloe, shea butter & vitamin E enhances lips, leaving a smoother, healthier feel.


It retails at $4.00USD on the LA Girl website

You can also get it here in Trinidad at Wonderful World West Mall. They no longer stock it at the Gulf City Branch :( womp womp womp...

My Stiletto Nails

Mint nail polish: Color Club - Age of Aquarius & L.A Girl - Black Velvet

So I wanted to try the stiletto nails but I'm typically not as daring. I tried them out with my natural nails and here's how I achieved it.

Messy ....yuck! Clean off those edges :)
