BLUSH DUPE

So my favorite blush of all time is X-Rocks from the Neo Sci Fi collection from MAC that came out summer of '08. I found this blush at a Cosmetic Company Outlet and I know it tends to pop up for sale every once in a while at Allcosmeticswholesale.com. For those of you who don't have a CCO near you or don't feel like shopping for it online, I have found a near exact dupe that is from the permanent collection at MAC. That blush is called Flirt&Tease.

Both of these blushes are a nice mauve color with a slight simmer to it and they are also both sheer tone shimmer blushes.  They appear to look different in the photos but when you look at them in person and swatch them, the only noticeable difference is that Flirt&Tease is a little more cranberry.  The nice thing about this dupe is that it is easier to sheer out than X-rocks.  X-rocks is a little bit more pigmented so you need a light hand when applying it.  I also believe that Flirt&Tease is more universal and is good for all skin tones.  If you have darker skin it is easy to build up color and if you have fair skin, it is easy to apply without looking like a clown.  If you have been lusting after X-rocks, I suggest checking this dupe out!
