Favorite Looks: Selena Quintanilla

So who else has seen the new beautiful Selena line that MAC has released? I'm loving the colors! Now, that doesn't mean I am going out and buying those products, I have just gained inspiration from them. It's like when Urban Decay releases a new pallett. I've spent over $200 in the last 4 years buying their Naked pallets. As much as I love makeup, I just can't justify spending that now that I know there are other options. If you could get a diamond ring at one Store A for $10,000 and the same ring at Store B for $5,000, which store would you buy from? I think I'm going to pick Store B, plus I hear that Store B also offers really good sales and discounts, just sayin'!
So I started digging into what I could use to replicate the looks or find something of the same quality or cheaper. Good thing I sale MARY KAY right? So I went to my book, I'm going to share what I found.

Fun Fact: Both Mary Kay Ash and Selena are from the great state of Texas!


Here is the Selena line:

              

Eyeshadow left to right top row to bottom: Fotos Y Recuerdos, Is it the Beat, Missing My Baby, No Me Queda Mas, Selena eyeshadow
Lip Colors: Dreaming of You ,Amor Prohibito ,Como La Flor

Here are my finds:

    Mary Kay's Precious Pink
Mary Kay's Coal
    Mary Kay's Ballerina Pink
Mary Kay's Hazelnut   
    Mary Kay's Iris

 

Mary Kay's Crushed Berry,  Mary Kay's Rich Truffle, and Mary Kay's Firecracker



Here is what I found out in the "checkout line"


Now let me lay this out for you. Each MAC eye shadow, from this line, is reported to be $17.
Each of my Mary Kay eyeshadow finds are $8.

So for all of the Mac Shadows it is $85. 
For all of the Mary Kay shadows it is $40.
To have all of the Mary Kay eyeshadows and a cute compact to store them in it is $57.

Now the lipsticks are the exact same prices! The only difference is your Mary Kay lady will give you discounts or sales, whereas MAC doesn't do that to often.


Now, I hope that helped you see there is more than one way to recreate your favorite looks. Let me know if you have any other lines or looks that you would like for me to recreate using Mary Kay products!


Now I am off to try to recreate my own Selena look! Let me know if you are interested in trying it out too!
