Hey guys, welcome to today’s blog post! Today, we’re going to talk about dupes. I have some recommendations that I want to share with you, but mostly, we’re going to be on a wild ride together as we figure out if there is truth in these dupe recommendations that I saw on TikTok. So, let’s dive on in!
Let’s start with something I can’t wait to try – a brow wax. I’ve raved about the Benefit Fluff Up Brow Wax, but I recently saw a recommendation for the Milani Brow Wax. The question is, do we have a dupe? As a makeup judge, I go hard on products, and I have high expectations. After trying both, I have to say, the Milani Brow Wax is a solid B+ dupe. It’s a great option for those looking for a more affordable alternative.
Moving on to eyeshadows, I compared the Bobbi Brown Moonstone, Urban Decay Moondust, and Ulta Beauty Buttercream eyeshadows. The Ulta Beauty Buttercream turned out to be a great dupe for the higher-end options, providing a similar effect at a fraction of the cost. Sometimes, you can find hidden gems at the drugstore that rival luxury brands.
Next, I discovered a dupe for a contouring product that I absolutely love. The Kryce Magic Shaper turned out to be even better than the more expensive Makeup Forever version. It’s a versatile product that can be used for contouring, bronzing, and even as an eyeshadow. Sometimes, the best products come from unexpected places.
I also tried out a dupe for a nude eyeliner that brightens the eyes. While the Tarte Fake Awake worked well, the Flower Cosmetics version was too creamy for my liking. It’s important to find a balance between quality and affordability when it comes to makeup products.
Lastly, I shared a dupe for a hypochlorous acid solution, a skincare product that can benefit sensitive and inflamed skin. The Prequel version turned out to be just as effective as the more expensive Tower 28 option, making it a great budget-friendly alternative.
Overall, dupes can be a great way to save money without compromising on quality. It’s all about finding the right balance between price and performance. I hope you enjoyed this journey through the world of dupes, and I can’t wait to share more with you in future blog posts. Stay tuned for more beauty adventures!
