MUA Lipstick Shade 11 VS MAC Lipstick 'Hotscotch'

After finding an amazing dupe for Nars 'Orgasm' last week I went on a mission rummaging through my make up drawers to see if I had any other dupes worth mentioning & I found another little gem.


Packaging wise they are miles apart. MUA's packaging isn't as sturdy as Mac's but you need to bear in mind the price difference here. MUA's also has a little pot of lipstick at the bottom making it easy to see the colour in your collection.

 


In the bullet & swatched these look identical. Formula wise I find the MUA lipstick to be much more moisturising on the lips. 'Hotscotch' is part of the Amplified range from Mac & even though it isn't drying I always tend to wear a lipgloss over it but this really isn't needed with the MUA lipstick.

Wear time is the same for both lipsticks, needing a touch up every hour or so.

The price difference with these is incredible. There is a whopping €17 difference in price!

If you had to pick which would you go for? Save or splurge?
I think the MUA lipstick wins hands down for me. It really packs a punch pigmentation wise & is purse friendly too!

The MUA lipsticks cost €1.35 & are available to buy from Superdrug or online
The Mac lipsticks cost €18.50 & are available to buy from Mac counters.
