The Dupe List pt.1

Recently I have been dumbfounded by how many makeup dupes I have in my collection. It is crazy how I am attracted to so many of the same colors and I do not even realize it! This weekend I decided to go through my collection and find all the dupes. Most of them I find a drugstore and a high end dupe for. 
Here we go!

 E.L.F.'s "Moondust" vs. Nars "Ashes to Ashes"
*Both are a grey taupe with silver shimmers. While the E.L.F does have more fallout, it is also more pigmented. 95% similarity.

Wet nWild's Comfort Zone Palette (Right side, bottom row shade) vs. Urban Decay's "Lounge" vs. Glamour Doll Eye's "Dino Spots"
(These are both very similar to M.A.C.'s Club)
*All three shadows are browns with blue and red undertones. GDE's pigment has more of a red undertone than the other two while Lounge had a more blue undertone compared to the other two shadows. 90% similarity.

M.A.C.'s "Peachy Keen" vs. Wet n Wild's "Pearlescent Pink"
*Both blushes are peachy pinks with yellow reflects in them. Since M.A.C's is a sheertone shimmer it is more build-able compared to Wet n Wild's. Wet n Wild's is more pigmented overall. 85% similarity.

Revlon's "Soft Nude" vs. Lime Crime's "Coquette"
*Both are milky nudes. Coquette has a slightly more pink undertone while Revlon's is more of a apricot undertone. They appear more similar on the lips than they appear in swatches. 80% similarity.
