Here's Fashion 21's Aqualicious Moisture-Rich lipstick in Arctic Stone, which most local makeup artists claim to be a good dupe for MAC Twig. I haven't tried MAC Twig so I'm leaving photos for you to judge if it is indeed a sneaky local dupe.

| MAC Twig vs its dupe, Fashion 21 Arctic Stone |
Upon swatching, it appears that the lippie has tiny shimmers under the presence of a flash. For the freaked out shimmerphobes, do not fret, the glitters become absolutely unnoticeable when on the lips.
Pros: a pretty good shade for neutral lips, inexpensive, creamy and non-drying, great lip color to match dramatic eye makeup
Cons: isn't longwearing (2hrs max on me), color is not suitable for all skin tones (may appear odd/boring on darker skin tones)
The shade is so natural against my skin tone, I seem to be not wearing anything on my lips. Case in point:
The lipstick would've been prettier if I wore face makeup to cover up the bad skin. Remember that nude lips works best against a flawless skin.
FUN TRIVIA about me: You might have already sensed my lack of love for lipsticks with all those lip stain/balm posts. Fashion 21's Arctic Stone is the very first lipstick I bought.
wow!
congrats on your first lipstick!
^_^
this looks worth checking out!
check ko to pag nakalabas ako sa lungga ko..hehe
hope everything is ok,sweetie
how is your dad na?
i've long heard Twig is a nice color although i wasn't that keen on getting it though when i swatched it eons ago.
it has a natural, healthy effect on you sis! bagay nga! (^_^)
I love Fashion 21. I am such a sucker for cheap finds! Thanks for featuring this new lippie color.

thanks girls :)
Never heard of the brand but it sure looks good. I don't normally wear lipstick because my lips are dry. Anything that say non-drying sounds great to me.
Fashion21's a local Filipino brand Nelah :)
