MAC Cranberry Dupe - NYX Rust

Hiya guys!

I think I'm on a dupe finding roll recently! Right now as a student, I can't justify spending tons of money on eyeshadows, so as usual, I try to find the best dupes for each of the "high end" eyeshadows I like. 

This time it was MAC's Cranberry which caught my eye, I've been into putting on red tone eyeshadows and this seemed to fit the bill. The problem: The Price. 

Now I believe I have found the PERFECT dupe for Cranberry from non other than good old trusty NYX.

I think that the pigmentation of both these eyeshadows is the same. I find that rust has a more lustrous finish while Cranberry is a little more subdued. I think both are equally beautiful however Rust will have to win because it is a third of the price of Cranberry.

Dupe for Blackheart by Urban decay Naked 3 Palette

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I posted but I've got something exciting to share with you (at least it is exciting to me). Now while looking at the new Naked 3 Palette, the range of beautiful rose tone shades did look very lovely, but out of all the colours, I would say that 'Blackheart' would be the colour that is most enchanting out of the palette and also my favourite. Now at around £37 for the Naked 3 palette, this "enchantment" is rather pricey. Needless to say, my hunt for the perfect dupe started. 

Earlier today while looking for some new eyeshadows, I stumbled across a particular shade at NYX that automatically caught my eye. 
In the shade of 'Sensual' by NYX, I think I have found a great dupe for blackheart. Obviously they are not the same however side by side they look very similar. 

Blackheart - Urban Decay Naked 3

I would say that Blackheart has a slightly more copper/bronze undertone while Sensual is more towards the pink side. Sensual unfortunately doesn't leave the faded colour around the edge either, nevertheless it's a great dupe for those of you who are not enticed by the whole naked 3 palette.
