Social Butterfly - NARS Dupe!

So yesterday may have resulted in coming home with a Yankee candle and this cool Halloween cat, a stand and some spider web candle accessory thing I definitely did NOT need. The nights are getting colder, and by the time I get home the sky is already looking a little dark! I'm so excited for Halloween and Christmas it's unreal.

Anydoodle, here is the Smooch palette I picked up the other day! It a lovely autumnal/winter velvet purple. I am in LOVE. Just like the Naked 3 dupe I managed to grab, this is a NARS dupe. Yup. And it is perfection.

It came with a mirror, which was nice of them. My MUA palettes never had a mirror and it was a huge pain, I know it's not really a problem if you have a desk or make-up mirror but I don't right now, and I'm fed up of using my pocket mirror, or having to climb things to see the one in the bathroom. The joys of being a short arse... not being able to see in mirrors, or over the steering wheel, or even over the reception desk at work. Yay! *cries silently.*

So, yeah, they look VERY similar in shape, and design. The colours aren't quite there though, but then I found that with the Naked 3 dupe and I'm not complaining. :-) The packaging feels brilliant. It came in a little flimsy box, but the actual palette feels chunky, sturdy and really good quality! Very very happy with this little beauty. :-)

It is retailed at £5.99 but I picked it up at the outlet store for £2.99. So it is about £20 cheaper than it's NARS friend. I have a feeling I will be wearing this a lot over the next few months! 

Any of you had a good NARS dupe? :-) x
