Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on liner vs Milani Liquif'eye metallic eye liner pencils

A few days ago I posted a February haul video and featured the Milani eye liner pencil in 01 Black and briefly mentioned how I heard it was a dupe for the Urban Decay liner in Zero...but I couldn't say much about it because I hadn't tried it yet.
Well, since then I've used the Milani eye liner a few times and I'm ready to share my thoughts on it now. =)

This Milani liner blows the Urban Decay liner out of the water!

Its pigmentation, smoothness, staying power and price makes it a better eye liner pencil.

It is a true jet black, and an intense one too (the metallic in the color is very subtle and is very fine).

It easily glides on, no tugging on the skin whatsoever.

It doesn't claim to be waterproof, but it is long lasting (use with an eye primer to achieve maximum staying power).

Available at drug stores, it also comes with a drug store price (I got mine for under $7).

Both the Urban Decay (which retails $17) and Milani liners are 1.2g in quantity.

Convinced yet?
I definitely recommend trying the Milani liner if you are already a fan of the Urban Decay one... you won't be disappointed. =)

MAC Viva Glam V vs Rimmel Airy Fairy - dupeable??

Firstoff, Good morning and TGIF!! =)

Anyway, I've noticed that a few people have been comparing these two lipsticks as dupes of one another.
I actually own both, so I decided to pull them out and see what all the hype's about.

Standing next to each other, the lipsticks do not look like dupes, but swatched next to each other they do look VERY similiar.
As you can compare in the pictures, they look almost a like. They both are a light pink with a nice sheen appearance.
However, the differences in both lipsticks are their finishes and tones.

Airy Fairy is a mauve pink that is a bit cooler in tone whereas Viva Glam V is a nude pink & is warmer in tone.
Airy Fairy has a glossy sheen with no flecks and Viva Glam V has a sheer glossy sheen with tiny flecks in it (although it's not noticeable at first glance).

Final thoughts:
So are the two alike?
In my honest opinion, yes the two are alike but don't think that by buying Airy Fairy you are getting the cheaper version of Viva Glam V because respectfully, they are different in many aspects.

Are they dupes of one another?
No.

Thanks for reading ladies!!
