Dupe of the Day #1

Hey girlies,
So We all know that inside, we all lust for high end products, but sadly, our wallets cry no. But, many drugstore companies have come out with products that can be great dupes for those more expensive higher end products. Today, I dove into my mascara bin and found two almost identical mascaras, with two very different price ranges. The Dupe of the Day is......Almay intense i-color mascara in Emerald Green which is a close dupe of: Korres provitamin B5 & rice bran lash-strengthening mascara in Grey Green. The Almay intense i-color mascara in Emerald Green usually sells for $7 for .22 fl oz (6.5 g) in a drugstore; the Korres provitamin B5 & rice bran lash-strengthening mascara in Grey Green usually retails for $18 for 0.36 fl oz at Sephora or on its website. Personally, I got my Almay intense i-color mascara for $1.80 during a sale at Rite Aid, and I got my Korres mascara for $9 on Sephora.com's sale section. Alright, enough with the talking, lets first go straight to the pictures:

Even though the almay mascara is a lighter green color, they look identical on the lashes.
