BATTLE OF THE DUPES #40: MAC vs. wet n wild

Where do I find out these are dupes?

PACKAGING (MAC):

MAC lipsticks come in a cardboard box and then the lipstick itself is plastic.

PACKAGING (wet n wild):

The lipstick comes shrink wrapped and then a label on the actual plastic lipstick tube which really irritates me because I couldn't get it all off.

Bare lips

MAC: applied on my lips, it is easy to apply because I outline my lips with the tip of the lipstick.

wet n wild: applied on my lips, again I lined my lips with the tip but it wasn't as easy.

Makeup all done, I was trying some heatless curlers and need to do my hair but the lipstick looks okay.

Update 1 (9am): The side with the wet n wild transfers a decent amount compared to the MAC.

Update 2 (2pm): Still looking pretty decent, I have had many mugs of coffee, had lunch and these lips look decent, the side with wet n wild has faded slightly and not as red.

Update 3 (7pm): Patchy.

Update 4 (8pm): My lips just look like they are just lined.

The colour is exactly the same when you apply however the wet n wild fades during the day. If you don't have the budget then get the wet n wild but I prefer the MAC lipstick.
