Cheaper subsitution for MAC Lipglass

[ThickHair]

I really like MAC Lipglass but it was making my wallet very light. I was determined to find a cheaper subsitute. Lipglass is thick and creamy and a lot of drug store lipglosses are cheap and grainy. Loreal Colourjuice tubes have solved my problems. Between CVS, Eckerd & Kmart having them BOGO I have obtained about 14 tubes. I love love love them.

Yesterday I put some on after my breakfast at 8:30am and when I went to the bathroom before lunch around 1pm, I still had some on and it was very creamy. It also did not get all thick and cakey on the inner part of my lips, if you know what I am talking about.

ETA: I found out that Loreal is owned by Lancome (High End Department Store) makeup. I think that it may be the same formula as the Lancome lipglosses.

Thanks for posting I'll have to check these out. I don't like Mac lipglass, but I do like the lustre glass formula, they are pricey though.

So how much do these tubes cost compared to MACS 13.50 lipglasses?? Which I love btw.

Oh, I do love them also but, I am trying to save money and I can not give up lipgloss, come on now. :)

Between CVS, Eckerd and Kmart, Kmart had the cheapest price $6.59 and I bought one and got one free. CVS and Eckerd were a little more expensive no more than $7.50 though and they were buy one get one free. I honestly would not have tried them if they were not BOGO, I was not going to spend that much on a drug store lipgloss.

I did like the Posner lipglosses, they were thick but to my surprise they dried out very quickly, same as the Covergirl lip crystals, which I only purchased because of EVA from ANTM. The Covergirl lip crystals faded very quickly when I drank some water.

These look just like Lancome Juicy Tubes (which are 16 bucks). At DrugStore.Com, these are $6.99.

I read in Don't go to the Cosmetics Counter W/O ME, that alot of the lorea'l and Lancome formulations are the same.

I never thought Mac's lipglass was so hot. IF you want high end, Bobbi Brown's lipglosses are to die for!
but, when loreal had their beauty makeover tour last year, i got a make-ver by them in september. I told the sistah doing my makeup that i wanted a natural lipgloss color& that's when i first discovered loreal's line of lipgloss. I was so happy with what she chose (i've been using their lipsticks/mascara/liner for 6 years). Just a hint*I always wait until CVS has their 'by one get one free' sale & stock up. By the way, wet N wild lipglosses are some of the best cheapies I've ever used too.

Definitely! I love Bobbi Brown Glosses, I have been wearing them for 7 years now. Stila lipglosses are good also.

I fine them grainy and not that thick. Could be me?!?!?!?

Alot of makeup companies own others, I think Mary Kay and MAC use the same formulas but I do like those Loreal glosses too!

Honey, Mary Kay and Mac have nothing in common. LOL

Estee Lauder owns Mac and
Bobbi Brown
Clinique
Rodan and Fields
Prescriptives
LaMer
Jo Malone
Stila
Origins
Clarins
Chanel

I think Lancome owns Loreal

Ahh drug store lipgloss...sooo hit or miss for me because I don't know how the color will look. Does CVS allow you to return it if you don't like it?

Sorry, I forgot there were different kinds of Wet n' Wild gloss. I buy the WW Glassy gloss lip gel. Ads say hi-shine & ultimate long-wearing lip gloss. And yes, they're telling the truth. .

I use that one too the clear and the brown one caramel or something the clear is very very similar to clear mac lipglass.

I like the Black Opal Patent Lips lipgloss, only they've discontinued my favorite color.
