DUPE ALERT!! MAC Viva Glam Nicki & Wet-N-Wild Pinkerbell

So yesterday I was killing time in Rite Aid waiting on my boss to come and pick me up to bring me home when I came across some "new" shades of lipstick from Wet-N-Wild. I'm not a huge fan of lipsticks from Wet-N-Wild lipsticks just because I usually can't find any shades I really like. However! As I was browsing, I came across one particular shade that looked awfully familiar: Pinkerbell. Just in the tube, it looked so much like MAC's Viva Glam Nicki. For $1.99, I could certainly afford to find out whether it was a dupe.

Check out the pictures: 





And it is! The shade, to me, looks exactly the same as the MAC version. In the swatch photo, Wet-N-Wild is on the left and MAC on the right. However, Viva Glam Nicki is much creamier, whereas Pinkerbell is rather stiff. They look the same on the lips, though! I'll have to test and compare the wear on Wet-N-Wild.

All in all, if you want to see how Viva Glam Nicki will look on you (it's for a worthy cause, anyway), check out Pinkerbell first before you commit to spending $14.50 on MAC. It's not a shade for everybody, but I really like it!
