My Beauty Dupes


Beauty Dupes

Calling all Practical Prepsters! I love makeup, hair products, beauty products and perfumes, but lets be honest the good stuff is expensive.... but not all the time.


Clarisonic vs Sephora face brush

Okay so this one is more of a practical comparison, I use this Sephora face bash which is only 10 dollars every day and it has done wonders for my skin. I originally wanted a clarisonic but then I looked at reviews and found that just doing a good manual scrub works just as well as having a electronic brush. You just have to put it the work!


                           Benefit's Erase Paste vs NYX full coverage concealer


I used erase paste for the past three years. I love this concealer as it perfectly blends and hides my skin imperfections. However, when I ran out of it this summer I didn't have a Sephora close by so I ran to target and picked up the NYX full coverage concealer. Coming in at only 5 dollars this concealer has not only done exactly what the Benefit product did but its also lasted me now 5 months! That was the best five dollars I've ever spent!



Clinique powder vs Maybelline Fit Me matte powder

Now if you've read my posts before you know how much I love Clinique's products and I have a hard time trying new foundations and powders because I just love the way the products glide on my skin so much. However, I was in a pinch and needed powder fast for a performance so I once again trekked to target ( I never have trouble finding more than I need there) and picked up this Maybelline powder. I love how light it is but also the full coverage it provides. The matte finish leaves my skin looking flawless!



MAC matte eyeshadow vs NYX Matte eyeshadow pots
Literally this one is comical. I was at a show this past weekend and doing my makeup and looked around and my best friend had her mac eyeshadow pots out. The funny part was we had the exact same colors, a nude and a plum. Because I knew I was doing a post about dupes I asked her if I could compare the consistency... they were so similar. Difference.. NYX $5 MAC $16
