MAC Crème d'Nude vs. e.l.f. Natural Nymph . . . Dupe?

Hi all!  Who doesn't love a nude lip? 
I have seen a lot of blog posts that claim that MAC's Crème d'Nude does indeed have a dupe.  This dupe is said to be e.l.f.'s Natural Nymph. 

While I will admit that the colors are very similar, they are not a perfect match, and the formulas are completely different!  Due to the fact that MAC's Crème d'Nude is a Cremesheen it is very moisturizing and, indicative of the name, has a sheen when on the lips.  e.l.f.'s Natural Nymph is more matte and does not feel moisturizing to me.

However, if you do not want to shell out the $16 for the MAC, than the e.l.f. is a good option at only $3.  You can always put a gloss or clear lip balm over the e.l.f. to make it feel more moisturizing.
