Should i become a snob or buy some strawberry milk?

I love, love, love the look of Mac lipsticks but at the moment buying them is almost impossible when my only form of income is £30 a week from my college and with that i have to pay for my monthly contract, buy birthday presents and buy clothes. So as i have make-up that will help me through, it isn't exactly at the top of my buy now list!

So considering the Mac lipstick i want is aproximately £13.50 i've been forced to look for a cheaper dupe which I have found in the form of NYX which may be an American brand, but do ship to the UK and including shipping is almost half the price of Mac so who's winning in my books right now? NYX!

Originally I was looking for a dupe of Mac 'Snob' but now after flicking through the extensive shades of NYX lipsticks I am really drawn to NYX 'Strawberry milk' which is a slightly darker shade to 'Snob' but still has that light, sweet vibe around it.

After reading through various reviews regarding these two similar lip products, it has helped me to decide which one is of better quality because just the fact of being a nice colour isn't enough to sell extensive amounts.

Snob: Satin formula, Pigmented, Opaque, In between matte and a cremesheen formula, Not suitable for dry/flaky lips, Doesn't last long

Strawberry Milk: Creamy, Dries on lips, Matte stain effect, Affordable, Glides on lips, Moisturising, Pigmented
