YSL Rouge Volupté Lipstick n° 27 "Rose Paris" vs NYX Round Lipstick "Rose"
One of my first posts was about this lipstick and how I love it so much...I still do! But after a while I found a good alternative which is surprisingly cheaper! I'm talking about Nyx Round Lipstick in "Femme" which is REALLY similar to the YSL one and as moisturizing as the first one. 25€ vs 2€ and I don't have to add anything more =P...Obviously, as they're both very creamy and silky, they tend to fade quite early, but if you buy a lipstick at 2€ you don't mind, if you spend over 25€ it's a bit annoying! LOL
Rouge Coco Chanel "Mademoiselle" vs Elf Mineral Lipstick in "Barely Bitten"
I've heard so many things about Rouge Coco Lipsticks! And I finally got the chance to have my hands on one of them yesterday, thanks to my dad who bought this one for me - awww I love u! :-* - anyway...This lipstick is fantastic! (I've got n°5 Mademoiselle, like the Chanel N°5 perfume LOL! ) Creamy, soft and pigmented! However here in Italy it costs 27€ ...So what's better than a cheap alternative?? =D In this case Elf Mineral Lipstick in Barely Bitten is almost the same shade and it's quite creamy! Moreover it costs just 4€. Of course it lasts less than the first one, but it's not a big deal when you save more than 20€! ;-)
Nars Orgasm blush vs Bourjois "Rose d'Or" blush

I know there's also the Studio Blush/Bronzer duo by ELf in which the blush is described by many bloggers equal to Orgasm, I haven't tried it so let me know if you have it! ;-D
Mac Lipstick in Thrills vs Nyx Round Lipstick in "Indian Pink"
The latest collection by Mac is called To The Beach and it totally grabbed my attention, so I bought this lipstick and the highlight powder...Talking about Thrills: Mac lipsticks are a very high quality at a reasonable price if compared to other makeup brands (eg Chanel,YSL, Lancome, D&G etc) however, unless you are a maniac like me, xD buying a bunch of them would cost a lot...And here comes the cheap alternative! I'm talking about Nyx RL in Indian Pink which is very creamy and almost the same shade, just a little less intense in the golden frosty finish but 18€ vs less than 2€ it's worth checking it out.
Illamasqua Intense Lipglosses vs OCC Lip Tars
