Dupe for mac purrr and/or Nars Turkish delight (preferably with a brush applicator)?

amanda1210 · 04-24-2008, 07:17 AM

Sorry if I spelled Purr wrong, but I love the color and the shininess of it but as you all probably know by now I HATE sponge applicators. Silly me, I tried it on, using the free brush applicators that they have at mac and it looked great so I bought it, but as soon as I opened that little thing when i got home I screammeeedd because I found that it was a sponge applicator so its going back to macy's ASAP. And then I love everything about Kim Kardahian so of course I want Nars Turkish Delight but again, it has the sponge applicator and there is no way that I am paying 24 bucks for a lipgloss that has a sponge applicator bcuz I know I'll rarely use it!

Thanks in advance!!

I'm a newb here, but what is it about the sponge app that you hate? Just curious, I had to ask, lol.

oh, and you may want to try the lusterglasses ie// Love Nectar or Wonderstruck. I believe those have brush applicators (I think).

There's no way I'd pay $24 for lipgloss, either. Unless, it's made out of gold or something...sheesh!

You could always use the sponge applicator to place some gloss on the back of your hand and then brush it on with a lip brush...

If you put on lip gloss with a brush and with a sponge applicator it makes a HUGE difference. When you use the brush you get a nice even look and lots of product by using the brush only once. Lip gloss never looks as nice with a sponge applicator.

Thanks for the tip but its like if I'm gonna spend the money I want the product to work fine as is, I dont wanna have to go through sticky hands (incase there's no sink around, for example if i apply it in the car) and the time of finding my lip brush, I just want to open the lip gloss and be ready to go ya know.

I have prrr, and turkish delight... turkish delight is my favorite gloss EVER.

I just bought a dior gloss today though, and it looks just like turkish delight...it's dior addict ultra-gloss reflect #457 in Rose/Pink Liberty. I love it, and it has a brush applicator. It's $24.50 though.

Awesome thanks for letting me. I'd definetly pay 24.50 for a lip gloss that i know I'd use, even though it is kinda alot. I'll check it out.

I think I might have found a cheaper alternative for you. A lot of people are posting over at Specktra how the the new lustreglass "Ensign" is a very close dupe of Prrr... It came out with the new Nauty Nauticals collection. Lustreglasses have the brush applicator, I'm almost positive.

I ordered Ensign and when I get it Thursday or Friday, I can post and let you know for sure.
