Huda Beauty's latest palette - New Nude launched on the 1st of November, just over two weeks ago and there are fake palettes quickly distributing around the market already! It's scary how quickly they can manufacture counterfeits and what's even scarier is there isn't one fake palette but 3! There's probably more but I'll show you the ones i've found, let's get right into comparing the real with the fakes.
I thought it would be fun to do the x2 Spicy fire noodles challenge and boy was I WRONG. It's actually so much worse than the original first one! I hella don't recommend you to do it but if you would like to have the pleasure of watching me suffer for views then here you go!
I wish I was a happy as I looked in this picture lol but I hope you guys enjoy it!
With the makeup industry exploding and society defining their success by owning branded luxury goods, more and more counterfeit makeup hit the market. Many people want branded goods (or lookalikes) but without paying the high cost. It's said, "For the price of an authentic lipstick, you can purchase four lookalikes."
Although I personally wouldn't use fake makeup, I do love seeing comparisons between the real deal and the fake one because sometimes they look shockingly similar! So I want to start a new blog series where I dig the internet for images of genuine products and their counterfeit sister, i'm going to start the series with one of my favourite brands - Anastasia!
► Packaging
REAL: The Anastasia printing is slightly raised on the cardboard packaging. The palette has the classic ABH suede material and the colour is a medium cool toned lilac.
FAKE: On the cardboard packaging, the Anastasia printing looks flat, it doesn't have that raised embossed print effect. Probably to cut the cost. The gold is also more yellow and a tad darker. The Norvina font is also slightly bolder. As for the palette packaging, you can see the colour is completely different from the original one, it's a deeper royal purple colour.
► Shadows
REAL: The metallic shadows are gorgeous and have a really nice foil like reflet. The colours look cool toned and pastel. There are 7 metallics and 7 mattes.
FAKE: Well well well, as you can see the colours are very drastically different, this is probably one of the worst knock-offs I've seen because it's so obviously different. The shades are pinker rather than purple, it's warm-toned and the metallics are done in a lacklustre shimmer formula. I think the fake Wild Child looks similar but everything else is off. They've even spelt Soul as Sovl.
I think if someone were to look at a fake Norvina palette before purchasing it, they would be easily able to spot it's not legit. They might get fooled by the darker packaging but there's no way someone would fall for the different shades.
What makeup would you like to see upcoming in this series?

If you've been following for my blog a while, you would know it has been called MishCheungX for 5 years+. I'm finally changing it to Michelle Cheungg.
From www.mishcheungx.com to www.michellecheungg.com - I decided to take the plunge and change it, knowing that it would affect by traffic DRASTICALLY for a good while (cries). I wasn't happy with the username I came up with when I was 15, is anyone ever happy with their teenager name? Whenever I went to blogging and network events, people would think my blog was "Miss" and not "Mish", so it was difficult for people to note down and it was always easily mistaken. :(
Before I shortened my name to Mish, but now I'm keeping it and I'm making my surname longer. There's an extra g at the end because Michelle Cheung is such a common Asian name that someone else has taken it! Also because michellecheung.com cost £1350+ lmaoooo, sorry I'm too broke to be paying that amount just for an URL. So in a way, I was forced to put the extra g or extra something!
I hope you guys will keep reading my blog (share it would your friends, family, your next door neighbour, your cat, I'm kidding but I'm not kidding)! It's still going to be the same and I want to go hardcore on it to bring you guys good content again, as I know I wasn't updating it this year sadly because of how hectic my last year of university was. BUT IM BACK, BACK AGAIN. (AND BETTER THAN EVERRR).
Here's to a new chapter of my blog and to welcome new beginning! <3 *cheers*
