Happy Friday, budget babes! I'm Jamie Stone from Queen of the Quarter Life Crisis, and in my new weekly column for The Budget Babe, I will be bringing you the best expensive beauty products and their budget-friendly equivalents. We all love a luxe product but there's always something similar - and for a lot less money! This week, we're talking matte red lipstick.
MAC Russian Red is often referred to as the “perfect” red lipstick. It’s worn by hoards of A-list celebrities on the red carpet (Angelina Jolie included!), but not everyone wants to spend $15 on lipstick.
Why do we love MAC Russian Red? It’s a deep, pigmented, matte red that suits all skin tones due to the fact that it has very natural undertones. It truly is an amazing red lipstick…but after years of searching, I recently came across an almost perfect match:
Wet ‘n Wild MegaLast lipstick in Stoplight Red, which costs $2. Yes, you read that right. Two dollars! The color itself is almost an exact match and it also boasts a matte finish and smooth application.
Same luscious look - for a lot less cash!
