Dupe alert: MAC Ruby Woo

Before I start, I just want to say that this is my personal opinion...I think these lipsticks are a dupe, colour-wise, for Ruby Woo.

If you read my post from a few months ago, you would be aware that I was keen to extend my collection of reds. Since then, I've acquired a few, some being quite similar in colour. And this leads me to some potential dupes for Ruby Woo...

Ruby Woo is a pretty iconic red. But, its high maintenance - if your lips are dry, it looks awful and flaky (in my experience). Its also quite drying on your lips, BUT it does last quite a long time. I wore it for a night out a few weeks ago and and found myself reapplying quite a bit because I was consuming beverages most of the night...by the time I got home at 1am, well, lets just say I looked like a hot mess! Yikes!

Ruby Woo is the most matte of these. Temptation is slightly darker, more of a crimson colour and is not a true matte finish. I think I like the Savvy one the most to be honest! It's an amazing colour and only costs about $8. 

In terms of lasting power, they are all different - the matte Savvy one is about 4-5 hours for me, with regular eating and drinking. Ruby Woo is slightly longer, except for in the example I mentioned above. The Rimmel one is not as long lasting, despite the name. 

In summary, I think they're all nice colours in their own right, and if I had to pick a favourite it would probably be the shade by Savvy. Savvy is a brand exclusive to Priceline. 

Do you think these are dupes? What are your favourite reds to wear?

  1. Hey Sarah,
    I've heard great things about the Long Lasting Savvy lippies. Apparently they were brought back due to high demand. So I guess they are pretty awesome. I'm yet to try myself though :(
    Mac Ruby Woo has also been on my wish list for a while now. Mac lippies just look so lovely. But if it's no good for dry lips I better skip....my lips are super duper dry.
    Your swatches all look so similar! How interesting.

    1. Oh I didn't know that! You should definitely give them ago :) Ruby Woo clings to your lips so your lips have to be in pretty good state...love the colour but gosh its high maintenance :/

      I just checked out the Priceline site and I can't seem to see Morocco listed as a colour, oh no!! I will do some investigating when I can get to a Priceline store...
