Cheap dupes for YSL Frivolous Pink Lipstick

I'm a huge fan of the YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks. The luxe packaging, the creamy formula, the gorgeous colours... what's not to love? Well, the price actually. Even though you can usually find them a bit cheaper online, in Australian department stores they're sold for $55aud each. That's way more than I feel comfortable paying for a lipstick.


Today I'd like to show you 2 very cheap dupes that I found for YSL Rouge Volupte #19 Frivolous Pink (I picked up Rouge Volupte at strawberry.net) .


Cheap Dupes for YSL #19 Frivolous Pink

Cheap Dupe #1: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in "Pink Blush"
This is actually one of my favourite lipsticks and the only lipstick that I've actually re-purchased when it run out. It's not as creamy as the YSL lippy, but it does last longer on my lips. And I love the sweet candy scent that lingers on my lips. Price? Less than $10aud! 


Cheap Dupe #2: BYS Lipstick in "Sassy Salmon"
Gorgeous colour, creamy formula and lasts longer on my lips than the YSL one. The only thing I don't like about it is the cheap packaging. Come on BYS, when are you going to improve your packaging? There are plenty of other budget brands out there that don't look as cheap as BYS's packaging looks. And the price of this lippy? Less than $5aud!


Swatches
While in the tube they all look slightly different, you'll notice from the swatches below how identical they are. And please note that these are dupes purely in colour, and not in quality, packaging, or longevity.


Yep, you'd have to agree that swatched it's quite hard to tell them apart! At these bargain prices I know when my YSL runs out I won't run to replace it as I can get ones at a tenth of the price.


Do you know any good cheap dupes for expensive lipsticks?
