I'm pretty sure everyone is familiar with MACs Saint Germain lipstick.. if not you should be as it's a beautiful vibrant pastel pink with blue undertones. I lurrrve it so much!
Anyway! I've recently reorganised my make up storage and as I was sorting through my lippies I discovered literally an exact dupe for Saint Germain.
It's the closest I have found. A lot of people say Barry M 100 (Baby Pink) & NYX Narcissus are dupes but when you compare them to the dupe I'm about to show you, you'll realise they aren't that great a dupe.
Natural Daylight
Collection 2000 Lasting Colour 'Bubblegum' £2.99 & MAC Saint Germain £13.50

MAC Saint Germain on the left & Collection 2000 'Bubblegum' on the right
In this picture of the swatches it's apparent that Bubblegum is ever so slightly darker than Saint Germain but to be fair it's pretty hard to tell!
In both pictures of my lips I am wearing Bubblegum on the left half of my lip (top & bottom) and Saint Germain on the right half of my lip.
It's pretty hard to tell I'm wearing two different lippies!
I just had to let people know as I'm sure this isn't a very well known dupe!
Even though the Collection 2000 lippy is almost £11 cheaper it doesn't compromise on colour or longevity of wear.
It's perfect if you have always wanted to try out Saint Germain as you won't break the bank, or if you're like me and get through this shade ridiculously quick!
So I hope you all enjoyed this post :)

My goodness!! That is a great dupe!! It's such a gorgeous colour, might have to do a quick little purchase tomorrow!
lovely post hun! xx
Yes get it! I love it so much! It is more vibrant in person on the lips, my camera washes everything out!
I really want to find more dupes now, it's so satisfying haha xx
Wow this is really good, Saint Germain is such a gorgeous colour so it's great to know there's a cheaper alternative out there. I have to say though, I'm always drawn in by the MAC lippies cos I love their vanilla-ery smell! I know it's a bit silly to pay another £11 for but I'm soo in love with MAC right now that I try not to pay attention to how much I'm paying for their products! xx
wow, what a great match. Tomorrow I'm off to get my own! Thanks hun you're a star :) x
Wow you cant even see the difference they are practically identical! Great find. Harriet xx

Got to agree with your Rachel! The smell is to die for!
Thanks Dolls! Its definitely too good a find to not share!xx
