I don't know if you've guys noticed the box on the left, but my product of the moment is Mac's Paint Pot in Rubenesque. Rubenesque is a peachy base with gold/champagne shimmer. I LOVE IT.
So, imagine my surprise when I was riffling through my makeup collection and came across a Revlon dupe. I own almost every Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow quad, and I've only use a few colors out of a few quads. Anyways, my Va Va Va Bloom quad has a color that is basically an EXACT dupe for Rubenesque.

MAC - Paint Pot in Artifact ($20): It is a rich velvety mahogany red with coppery red reflects. Is not a 'reddish brown' color at all, It provides a gorgeous base for Star Violet, Cranberry, and it turns Coppering into foiled metallic copper beauty. Jun 26, 2013 I bought the MAC Bare Study Paint Pot ($18.50) because it’s a staple for any makeup collection. The beige cream shadow has a soft, pearly finish that works for nearly every skin tone.

It's the THIRD color from the left in the quad. They looked really similar in the pot, but when I swatched them, they were twins!


Mac's Rubenesque is $16.50 while Revlon's quad is about $5.50. STEAL! Go pick this up!
*I hear that the indellible cream shadows at jwcosmetics.com are exact dupes for paint pots also, but they retail about 9 dollars. I'll be trying them out to see soon
What do you guys think?

MAC Paint Pots are great. The highly pigmented, long-wearing eye color goes on creamy and dries to a vibrant finish. I like to wear them as a base for my eyeshadow, but they also work well on their own. The only downfall is the price tag! Although MAC Paint Pots last a long time, I’ve had mine more than a year, they cost $20.00. www.maccosmetics.com

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hour cream gel achieves the same intense, long-lasting look for less. This drugstore dupe costs a cool $7.00. www.maybelline.com

Dupe For Mac Rubenesque Paint Pot

I like to use Maybelline’s “Too Cool” shade and found that it’s an amazing drugstore dupe for MAC’s “Chrome Angel” color that I usually buy.
