Makeup Dupes...

Happy Tuesday everyone :) Today is a brisk and sunny day, perfect for a bike ride later on <33 Anywho, I am in the process of moving apartments and this means I am having to go through everything and clear some stuff out that I don't use. I decided to go through my makeup collection and I really didn't have the heart to throw anything away! Eek!

So as I was packing up things and moving things around, I decided to put on some You Tube videos of my favorite girls: FarahNicoleStephanieCarliMelisaAllisonSophia, really the list could go on and on... A major theme was the LA IMATS 2013. If you are unfamiliar with IMATS, it is the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show. Basically tons of  makeup brands set up booths and display and sell their products as really discounted prices (and no, you don't have to be a makeup artist to attend!)

So, if you are like me and you can't really afford designer makeup brands, but you also can't fly to another city for IMATS, here are some great makeup duplicates that no one will ever be able to tell the difference:

MAC Viva Glam Nicki vs. Wet n Wild Pinkerbell


NARS Turkish Delight vs. Loreal Color Riche Gloss Baby Blossom


Benefit Hoola Bronzer vs. NYC Sunny Bronzer


Benefit Highbeam vs. Boots No 7 Illuminating Lotion


MAC Vegas Volt vs. Revlon Coralberry


NARS Orgasm Blush vs. Milani Luminous Blush

  2. Your very welcome! I really can't afford them either, so it is always nice to know a cheaper alternative and still look great :)

    1. Awesome :) I tried to make sure they were items that were really similar in shade, especially because I buy most of these dupes all the time. Affording designer makeup? Ain't nobody got time for that! Hehe
