Mac Dupe? I think so!!

So, for many of you Mac Makeup lovers, I am sure you got JUST as hyped as I did when Mac came out with the Disney Venomous Villains line! I know my heart skipped a beat as I saw Maleficents face on the front container! For those of you who don't have the heart to shell out $15.50 for an eye shadow (Or, you're a little too late with getting them) I have the perfect Mac Dupe for you!

It was definitely by accident that I came to find these two eye shadows were similar. After buying Mac Vainglorious I went home to swatch the color and find colors in my kit that I could use with it. About 6 months ago I had a coupon from Eyeslipsface.com "ELF" and I got 10 of their mineral eyeshadows for FREE! I mean, you can't pass up free! I really haven't used them that much. They've actually been sitting in one of my makeup storage boxes for the last 5 months. I totally forgot about them until I went to look for colors to use with Vainglorious. Well, I pull out a couple of my neutrals, because well.. They look good with anything, and they're good highlighter for the inner corner and brow. Then I come across Glamorous. Certainly, the name is fitting with the Color. I realize there's a resemblance so I start doing some swatches.. and BAM! A perfect dupe! So for those of you who can't find Vainglorious and don't want to spend the $20-$30.00 it's going for on ebay.. I definitely recommend Glamorous by elf.

Swatches:

I did use Urban Decay Primer Potion, just to ensure the colors were correctly reflected.
Left: ELF Glamorous
Right: Mac VainGlorious

Some of the obvious differences, Mac is in Pressed form and ELF is a Mineral Powder.
VainGlorious seems to be slightly more brown, and a little bit deeper.
They both have a slight shimmer but Glamorous seems to have a tad bit more.
Both colors are beautiful, I do prefer Pressed powders to Minerals, but it wouldn't take much to get Glamorous in a Pan as well as any Mineral Shadow. I would highly recommend Glamorous.


The best part about it, The Elf Mineral EyeShadows are on $3.00! How insane is that! What a price different for colors so similar.

These 2 eyes hadows are great for the holidays. With the perfect blend of dark Cranberry Colors and Chocolate Browns!
