Makeup Dupes: Splurge vs. Steal

Makeup Dupes: Splurge vs. Steal

I’ve got a thing for dupes. I do. I take an ENORMOUS amount of pleasure in stumbling upon inexpensive versions of my favorite high end makeup. Don’t believe me? Just watch read THIS or watch THIS. I can’t explain why it makes me so happy, so I won’t even try. But what I can do, is do a better job of sharing these finds with you.  And if you’re ever on the hunt for a dupe, please just shoot me an email. Chances are I know of a dupe for whatever it is you’re looking for.

Below you’ll find a short list of dupes, but trust me, this will be an ongoing list. I plan to post a Splurge vs. Steal list for you at least every other month. makeup-dupes-splurge-vs-steal

    1. lol..me too!! I got 3 new Nars lipsticks last week. #makeupjunkieproblems

  1. Good thing you don’t spend the $$ on the expensive ones because once you start, it becomes a problem! lol xo

  2. This is an awesome post! I’m still just getting into make up so I’m not even sure what half this stuff is used for LOL. My obsessions right now are eye shadows, lipstick and eyebrows (of which mine are super thin 🙁 ) I love MAC Ruby Woo definitely have to check the ELF version.

    1. Oh, ruby woo is amazing, but the elf version is nice to have as a back up. Just be sure to use a lip liner. xo

      1. Which lip liner do you suggest? Also do you apply lip liner on your entire lip or just outline it?

        1. It depends, sometimes i fill inmy entire lip and throw in the orange in the middle and blot. Just play around! It’s just makeup and washes off! 🙂

  3. i wish toronto carried NYX products.
    i’ve tried that matte finishing spray before and it works so much better than the urban decay one.
    on me anyways 🙂

    1. oh poo…do you have Target? Target doesn’t carry NYX in Toronto? Or amazon?

  4. nice blog! do u know of any dupe for mac “see shear” lipstick? its a coral color, or can u recommend a nice drugstore coral color for medium tan skin?

    thanks!

    1. Have you tried Maybelline’s park avenue peach? It looks like a close dupe to me. Try it and let me know! xo
