Nars lipgloss in Turkish Delight vs Victoria Secret lipgloss in Innocent (DUPE)

Now I wish someone would've told me that there was a cheaper alternative for Nar's most raved about lip gloss in Turkish Delight. The colour for Turkish Delight is described as "pink sorbet" and retails for about $32.77 CDN at Sephora.

Innocent, is about $12-$14 at Victoria Secret. As you can tell in the pictures, they both look very similar. If you take a close look at the swatches below, you would probably think they're both the same colour. The best part is, one of them is half the price of the other. To be honest, some Nar lipglosses are worth paying the money for, but this colour is very sheer on my lips and doesn't suit my skin tone so it's great that there's cheaper alternatives out there.  


 Swatches of both colours:

I couldn't swatch these on my lips because they were just too dry and the colours barely show up on my lips. Below are the swatches on a piece of paper I used to test out different colours etc (Courtesy of Marc Jacobs haha.)

As you can see from the picture above, the only different between the two lip glosses is just the pigmentation. Innocent is more sheer. While in the picture below, Turkish Delight is definitely more pigmented. Regardless, they both are really nice colours and it's always better to find cheaper alternatives rather than paying almost $35 for a lip gloss.
