MAC's supplier and dupe

[Risser]

Clavis Cosmetics is a supplier in the mass market. They produced baked cosmetics like MSFs and Mineralize Eyeshadows for MAC

MAC is not the one choice for us (some rare MAC items are expensive on eBay

), I saw many pretty baked products on Clavis's site, but I don't know what brand name they are. Do anyone help me in this?

The 7th pic (counting from top) seems to be "Deborah" an Italian brand cosmetics.

Risser you are so resourceful!!! I remember when everyone thought Karaja Cosmetics was the manufacturer of MAC's MSFs but that turned out wrong. This company def seems to be it, they have some of actual MAC products on their site (of course without listing MAC).

I bet they don't sell to consumers though.

That's sooo hilarious, Essence releases a regular makeup line (if it's the same company which I think it is) and they have glitter liners that are identical to MAC's. And they are sooo cheap!!! I have a few of theirs.

5.NOUBA Double Bubble Eyeshadow Duo (?)

These are Terra eye shadows.
They are sold at some drugstores and beauty stores in NYC, maybe other cities too?
Very inexpensive and gorgeous!
$7.99 the shadow!

 

[fluers_echo]

Risser you're such an expert!

I'm not 100% sure but I think no. Essence is sold at drugstores here in Switzerland, if it is indeed the same company, they are geared towards teenagers (ie very cheap products). I haven't bought anything from them besides the Glitter liners because they look so much like MACs and are dirt cheap, and work pretty well too! I see no point in buying MAC's anymore.

That's so cool, Risser! I love that Pupa shadow. Anyone know if Pupa is available in the US? And those Nouba duos look just like MAC's duos!
