W7 has a bronzer/highlight duo that is spot on for CT! I got it on Amazon for $5!!! I was shocked when I saw it on Amazon, the packaging reminded me of the CT so I figured for the price I’d try it. I’m still shocked over it.
Hi Stephanie, If you're looking for a nice, non-sticky, clear lipgloss the Elf one is great. They have a couple of coloured ones that are considered even cheaper dupes for the Fenty & Maybelline ones you mentioned, but so far I've only tried the clear one. At $3, you may want to check them out 😊
I accidentally discovered that the NYX HD finishing powder in translucent is a dupe for the Pat McGrath blurring under eye powder. I was amazed at how well the NYX powder worked on my under eyes! ♥️
The mention of MAC Melba blush brought back great memories. I used MAC Melba for years and years. It was my HG! With Maybelline's Lifter gloss I straight up smell sweet coconut. I LOVE the way they smell.
Hmm...i tried one that was in a squeeze tube and it was fragrance and did a terrible job at getting my sunscreen and makeup off. Maybe I got the wrong one. Is it in a tub? The clinque is amazing but I'd love to find something that works just as well for less.
@@leslieadams5370 thank you! I will definitely be on the lookout for this one! Does the no 7 rinse clean off like the clinique and remove eye makeup as well? Sorry for all the questions but I've tried a few that claimed to be dupes but they didn't do the same thing the clinique does.
@@kam0406 It comes with a muslin cloth to remove the cleanser. I usually do a double cleanse. I use a washcloth to wipe off any makeup and my mineral sunblock, and then I use Neutrogena creamy cleanser after. If I am not wearing mascara I can get away with just the balm, but I prefer the double cleanse.
I have to say dupe videos are my favorites!! I don't have a dupe, but I have seen a huge improvement in my skin's hydration since using The Ordinary's Amino Acid serum. I also use Elf's Holy Hydration Face Cream (unscented) which is full of peptides. My skin looks better than is has in MANY years!
I love dupe videos. Thanks! I know it’s a longshot anyone will see this all these months later, but I’m 41 with light to medium combination skin and some of my favorite very affordable products that you might consider dupes (without getting into all the details because no one will probably see them) are: AOA Studio’s Illuminating Primer, Cleansing Balm, makeup remover cloth, shampoo brush, lip scrub and scrubber tool, pencil gel eyeliners, and perfect pressed powder in banana and translucent, and almond or toffee for contour. I also love No. 7’s Lift and Luminate for CT’s powder and Revlon’s Rosy Future lip gloss in place of the Fenty Glow Gloss Bomb.
Drunk Elephant is my holy grail moisturizer. I have tried the Acure based on Penn Smith’s recommendation as a dupe. I agree with you that the main difference is the texture and that the Drunk Elephant quickly absorbs into the skin. The Acure is much heavier and takes a while to absorb into the skin. I cannot use the Acure as my daytime moisturizer since it doesn’t work well under makeup since it doesn’t absorb very well. I use the Acure as my nighttime moisturizer. I save money only using the Drunk Elephant in the morning. I enjoyed this video. Would love to see more dupes. Thank you.
I think Dupes and Faves & Fails are my fav vids. This one is really, really good. So many excellent dupes! I'm boring, I don't have any dupes to offer. Sorry. Loved this Stephanie, thank you, 🌸💞🌸 PS : I have no idea how you are managing to upload and pack up to move house! I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your hard work and absolute dedication. Thank you, again, 🌟👍🌟
Hey Chrissy! You're such a sweet viewer, not boring, and much appreciated! 🥰 Fun fact: I filmed this Thursday and my sound was messed up through the whole thing, so I had to RE-FILM it Friday! I spent most of the day yesterday re-filming, editing, doing the thumbnail, and uploading (with a brief shopping break with Brooke), and finished up around 8:30 pm with wine in hand. This weekend is spent packing up and cleaning with getting a shorts video ready for Monday in between. That's how the "glam" UA-cam life is lots of times! 🤣Thank you so much for your kind words! 💖
I have and love the Smashbox face palette. It’s the only high end products I will ever repurchase. I use it almost daily and have for close to 2 years and just barely hit pan on the contour. I love using the deeper highlighter on my forehead over the bronzer. So the entire palette gets used. Great video. Love dupes.
As soon as you held that palette up, Marc Jacobs Omega x Three Palettes, I knew the dupe for the bronzer and blush the Wonder bronzer and blush duo. (Daiquiri and Tulum) Boxy Charm or Ipsy Plus box
I've been using that Acure moisturizer and I do really like it. I haven't ever used the Drunk Elephant version, though, so can't really say if I think it is a dupe or not.
Oooh I have a few! Maybelline Color Sensational lip liner in Purely Nude is an EXACT dupe of Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lip liner. Much creamier formula too! No.7 brand matchmade bronzers feels like the bronzers in Charlotte Tilbury bronze and glow palettes. Soft and creamy, even have a similar starburst pattern. Physicians Formula soft focus blurring primer is a good dupe for Becca backlit priming filters.
I absolutely love that Physicians Formula highlighter shimmer brick. Taylor Wynn recommended it years ago so I bought it and I’ve repurchased it multiple times!
Thank you for the cosmetic dupes! I was diagnosed with rosacea years ago. Fragrance free skin care and cosmetics are extremely helpful. All my skin care is Paula’s Choice. I do have an old-fashioned regimen of prescriptions too.
I'm not a huge fan of drugstore foundation products. I mostly wear bb creams or light coverage now over 40. Revlon has been hitting it out of the park, which I didn't expect. For a foundation, the Photoready Candid is remarkably good, giving coverage but being so light and natural. Then I tried their new serum type, the Colorstay Light Coverage. It looks and feels like no makeup but my face just became magically flawless and stays that way all day. I'm in love. I also am using the Cali Contour palette right now as I watch this video.
A good dupe for the Marc Jacobs palette could be the Pacifica alighten natural radiance powder palette. It has a bronzer, blush, and two highlighters and it’s $18.00. The formula is really good, I’m not sure how the colors would match up, but it’s one of my go tos.
Love these options! I have both the Clinique's Take The Day Off balm and the slightly less expensive Good Molecules Instant Cleansing balms. The Good Molecules is now unscented (when I first bought it a few years ago the scent was ghastly..it's gone now!). I think they both work equally well removing sunscreen and makeup..even mascara.. as a first cleanse but there are newer drugdtore cleansing balms out there that I will try when I need to restock. Anytime I can save money on a quality product I'm there. Thanks for the tips. Stephanie! XO😘
I’ve tried that Acure, but the texture is much more like the LaLa Whipped cream. It may have peptides, but it doesn’t just melt into the skin like the Protini.
Yes! I found the NYX lift and snatch, it’s so good! I have another great dupe... the wet n wild break up proof liquid eyeliner. It is as good as any high end, nice fine brush and bulletproof. 5$ on Amazon! Can’t beat it! Thanks Steph, love the dupes! Xoxo
✨I am new to your channel. I have truly been enjoying all the information you provide in every single video. Very thorough with great insight. Thank you🌼
There's a great brow line at Target called Arches & Halos, the entire product line is for brows! Female owned company!! Amazing products that blow away high end brow products!!
I Absolutely LOVE dupes videos. Im using the acure cream at night& I love it. I've tried drunk elephant sample but wasn't enough hyderation & hate the price tag but acure feels so much more moisturising for me & my skin loves it so much🤪 That was great Sephanie ❣️
Loving how you share affordable, great quality makeup. While I can appreciate high-end, it really starts to add up. Could u do a 1/2 face dupe vs. high end comparison?
I think a cool video idea would be, even though you there are dupes..is there any highend product that you would still pick even tho the price?? Loved the video btw!!! 😉
I think the flower beauty petal pout lip mask is a dupe for the Rare beauty glossy balms. They technically aren't cheaper though, you get more than twice as much product in the rare beauty balms. If someone doesn't want to pay $18 for 1 Rare beauty balms, they can get a Flower beauty lip mask for $10. Also the applicators is different. Formula is spot on to me though.
great dupes stephanie! i so enjoy watching these videos to give me options. i agree about the fenty and maybelline lifter gloss. i enjoy both of those immensely! TFS
Hey Morgan! It's my fave for a reason! :) Oil isn't the enemy. It helps seal moisture in and balance the skin. The trick is finding the right oil for your skin. Marula oil is fantastic for me. I often take a drop or two after moisturizer and pat it in.🥰
Here's a video idea...no one has been addressing blush longevity (I feel like most of the drugstore options fade within an hour or so). I'm less concerned about finding the perfect color and more interested in blushes (powder, cream, liquid) that lasts ALL day.
I've heard great things about the flower cream blushes as well as their powder formula. Also, I saw some really like the new(er) Revlon powder blushes.
You MUST get it! It's been a staple HG fave of mine since it launched. It's so underrated, so I mention it pretty often in hopes that it never goes away! LOL!!!
The thing about Laura Mercier blush that keeps me coming back to it is that it has staying power compared to other blushes I have right now, even high end stuff like Chanel (a handmedown from my mom) and Clinique. Does the Elf blush look good after eight hours?
Hi! I have a skincare playlist you can checkout on that page where I share my faforite sunscreens in morning skincare routine. I also have an affordable skincare video. I haven’t found a super affordable mineral sunscreen that’s cosmetically friendly though. The ones I use aren’t very high but I can’t use a lot of drugstore bc the chemicals they use make me react. :)
Stepanie please review more Pacifica including cosmetics! I would love to find dupes for L'occitane Almond line, Tatcha night concentrate, Hourglass Lip Oil!
I got the Cali Contour palette off your suggestion off Poshmark. One time I forgot my eyeshadow palette when I was visiting my mom and used it as eyeshadow too. It was perfect=- thanks!!!
Hi Stephanie, I finally got my hands on the Elf blush in Always Punchy 😍 It’s as good as you said it was!! Thank you for recommending it in so many of your videos! I also love the fact that you gave the Flower Beauty Bronzer in Sunrise a shout out, it’s so underrated in my opinion 😍 Love your dupe videos ❤️
Wow! Great dupes! Put that Maybelline lipstick in my cart. I know I already like the formula as I have 3 of them already. The Acure whipped face cream looks amazing!
Hi Stephanie, Have you ever tried the elf brow pencil w/ spoolie brush? I'm curious to hear your thoughts comparing it to the nyx & Rimmel options you mentioned. Thanks!
Hi Vanessa! I've tried both of elf's brow pencils and prefer the fine-tipped one. But it doesn't give the same result as a brow pen. No pencil can reproduce that result even though there are some fantastic ones out there! I do use pencils more often, though b/c they're quicker! :)
@Vanessa Malik I tried the elf brow pencil, and I was not satisfied with the product. You should try the brow ultra slim defining eyebrow pencil from maybelline.
Hey Kelly! I just really liked the picture...it spoke to me for some reason! :) It's from Society 6 and is linked in my desc box if you want to check it out! Love your dupes! Thank you!
Thank you Stephanie such a great video with some amazing dupes. I think a lot of the drugstore cosmetics are so good these days they’ve really upped their game, I already have a lot of Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks in different forms and they are gorgeous so hydrating and so affordable. I still love my Rimmel Semi Matte Loose Powder in Translucent, I think it’s as good as a lot of high end powders.🥰💜
Thanks! It’s been about 12 or so videos with this background...I’m glad to see the change is going over well. With the moving, there will be more changes to come! Thank you!
Milani also has a great brow pen, and I’ve had it for months and it’s still going strong! Have you thought about reviewing the new catrice foundation? I would love to see how it wears on combo skin because I’m thinking about picking it up!
The Weekend Brow? Yes!!! I tried Benefit’s Microblading pens and they did not work for me, then I found the Milani pens at Ulta and I have been SO IMPRESSED!!
*💖 Do you have any good dupes or alternatives? I’d love to hear about them! 💖*
W7 has a bronzer/highlight duo that is spot on for CT! I got it on Amazon for $5!!! I was shocked when I saw it on Amazon, the packaging reminded me of the CT so I figured for the price I’d try it. I’m still shocked over it.

Hey Steph....i just wanted to say the one I am MOST EXCITED about is the Acure moisturizer.....im definitely about to buy it!!!
I need a dupe for Becca First Light Primer. I love this primer and am so sad that soon it will be gone :-(
The makeup revolution mini chocolate palette is another ripe for the CT, both the highlighter and bronzer!
I accidentally discovered that the NYX HD finishing powder in translucent is a dupe for the Pat McGrath blurring under eye powder. I was amazed at how well the NYX powder worked on my under eyes! ♥️
I love Dupes videos. You always find the best ones! I will definitely try some of these.
The mention of MAC Melba blush brought back great memories. I used MAC Melba for years and years. It was my HG! With Maybelline's Lifter gloss I straight up smell sweet coconut. I LOVE the way they smell.
The ABH Amrezy highlighter dupe is the Revlon skinlights highlight in Daybreak Glimmer, they are SPOT ON!
Awesome! Thank you! I couldnt get my hands on the amrezy highlighter so I will definitely try the Revlon now. 😉
I have it, but i doesn't show up very well...does it have a top layer?
Thank you! Will check it out!
@@taraball1030 Swatched and on the cheeks u can not tell the difference!
@@calliebahls3670 No, it is a baked formula so maybe just use a lil firmer pressure on ur brush or ur sponge works to
Maybelline moon lifter gloss is a dupe for fenty fussy too
I was gonna suggest this too!
I absolutely LOVE my lifter glosses! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I like No7 cleansing balm as a dupe for Clinique Take the Day Off balm cleanser. It's at least 1/2 the price of the Clinique. 😁
Hmm...i tried one that was in a squeeze tube and it was fragrance and did a terrible job at getting my sunscreen and makeup off. Maybe I got the wrong one. Is it in a tub? The clinque is amazing but I'd love to find something that works just as well for less.

I really like The Body Shop’s Gentle Camomile Cleansing Balm and I find it works really well with no residue
I’ve been using the Got2b glued spray for my brows rather than the Anastasia brow freeze... $5 or $25? I chose the dupe!
I have to say dupe videos are my favorites!! I don't have a dupe, but I have seen a huge improvement in my skin's hydration since using The Ordinary's Amino Acid serum. I also use Elf's Holy Hydration Face Cream (unscented) which is full of peptides. My skin looks better than is has in MANY years!

The Inkey List has a peptide moisturizer that I feel is a dupe for the DE and it’s $14.99! It even has the same dispenser. Check it out!
Thank you for the suggestion!
I have been using the Acura moisturizer for almost a year. I think it’s just as good as the Drunk Elephant version. 👍🏼
My Lash Princess Mascara from Essence is one of my best performing mascaras and it’s under $5 here in 🇨🇦
It’s truly AMAZING!!! I have 3 tubes !!!

I just ordered the Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer, which even comes in a similar container to the Drunk Elephant (haven’t tried it yet though)
I’ve been loving the Inkey List, I love their CoQ10 serum.
I need to try this one! 🥰
The nyx brow pen Is GREAT
Thanks so much for your recommendations
I think Catrice does a dupe for the Smashbox called California in a Box or something. Not tried it though
I haven’t either but Emily Noel recommend it as a dupe or alternative
I love physicians formula bronzer and I also like Farmasi body bronzer
Thank You so Much for this video ! I Love the way you do your makeup,, it's very natural. You are Beautiful !! ♥️♥️
I’ve tried that Acure, but the texture is much more like the LaLa Whipped cream. It may have peptides, but it doesn’t just melt into the skin like the Protini.
I agree. It’s a great option or alternative but not an exact dupe in terms of texture.
Great dupe video! 💜 I love the Maybelline Shine Compulsion lipsticks, they are an amazing deal for the quality you get.
ICan’t wait to try them!
Thanks Heather! I don't hear many people talking about them and they're really nice! 💖
I just bought the wet n wild catwalk high gloss lipstick and it feels just like a Mac lip gloss!! I really like it!

I think the flower beauty petal pout lip mask is a dupe for the Rare beauty glossy balms. They technically aren't cheaper though, you get more than twice as much product in the rare beauty balms. If someone doesn't want to pay $18 for 1 Rare beauty balms, they can get a Flower beauty lip mask for $10. Also the applicators is different. Formula is spot on to me though.
Remind me: have you tried the Elf Camo CC yet? Debating on that or the urban decay hydration foundation. Wanted your thoughts.
It will be in my upcoming foundation roundup! :)
Great dupes!!
Thanks for all your work on dupes videos! I have quite a bit of high-end makeup, but it's always great to find more affordable alternatives.
Thanks a lot! I was tempted to buy the urban decay foundation. It’s so sad you can’t try the shades now. What shade do you have from both? ❤️
I can't recall offhand but stated them in the video and my fdn shade match list is linked in my description box for reference.🥰
40 in the UD and 70 in the essence

great dupes stephanie! i so enjoy watching these videos to give me options. i agree about the fenty and maybelline lifter gloss. i enjoy both of those immensely! TFS
You always have the best videos...love how thorough you are!!!
Thanks for these great dupes Stephanie! Will the Drunk Elephant cause any breakouts since it contains Marula oil?
Hey Morgan! It's my fave for a reason! :) Oil isn't the enemy. It helps seal moisture in and balance the skin. The trick is finding the right oil for your skin. Marula oil is fantastic for me. I often take a drop or two after moisturizer and pat it in.🥰
Here's a video idea...no one has been addressing blush longevity (I feel like most of the drugstore options fade within an hour or so). I'm less concerned about finding the perfect color and more interested in blushes (powder, cream, liquid) that lasts ALL day.
I've heard great things about the flower cream blushes as well as their powder formula. Also, I saw some really like the new(er) Revlon powder blushes.
The new elf cream blush sticks last for so long on me. Seriously one of the best things I’ve purchased in years blush wise.
So glad you featured the Smashbox palette! I really need to get my hands on that because it looks like an amazing deal.
You MUST get it! It's been a staple HG fave of mine since it launched. It's so underrated, so I mention it pretty often in hopes that it never goes away! LOL!!!
I love the covergirl "pearl crush" highlighter!! I wear mostly luxury makeup, but reach for this option often!!
It's a great product!
Makeup Revolution (I 💜 Revolution) makes a bronzer and highlight duo called bronze and glow thats a dupe for the charlotte Tilbury duo.
The thing about Laura Mercier blush that keeps me coming back to it is that it has staying power compared to other blushes I have right now, even high end stuff like Chanel (a handmedown from my mom) and Clinique. Does the Elf blush look good after eight hours?

@Vanessa Malik I tried the elf brow pencil, and I was not satisfied with the product. You should try the brow ultra slim defining eyebrow pencil from maybelline.
@@zg8878 Thank you so much for the suggestion, I'll add it to my growing "must try" list ;-)
Desperately waiting for flower beauty to be sold here in Italy, so many products I want to try.
What a great video to wake up to! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Meredith!
Great dupes video, thank you! I actually have the Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter and I love it: great quality, easy application, very pretty results.
Any videos of yours that have info on dupes for Charlotte Tilbury or Chanel is excellent! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for this steph!! Needed this! ❤😍 you look stunning as always! ❤
Yay! Thank you!
@@StephanieMarie so welcome!! ❤
Nice work, thank you
Flower Beauty Lift & Sculpt face palette could be a dupe for the Marc Jacobs $49 palette
Another great one Stephanie. Purchasing some items now. Love your background. I am missing the puppy though. 🐶❤️
Thank you! He was in my Tarte video quite a bit...two videos ago I think?! He'll pop in from time to time! 🥰
@@StephanieMarie I’m going to watch in now. Miss him!
Great video enjoyed it x 💕
Thanks Stephanie!🌞
Great dupes Stephanie! I have to ask who is the masked picture of in the background? I always look at it in your videos.
My dupes: Elf brow wow better than Glossier boy brow. L’Oreal Le liner signature better than MJ eyeliners for tightlining- it wears so well!
Hey Kelly! I just really liked the picture...it spoke to me for some reason! :) It's from Society 6 and is linked in my desc box if you want to check it out! Love your dupes! Thank you!
@@StephanieMarie I never noticed it was linked - thanks! :)
Thank you Stephanie such a great video with some amazing dupes. I think a lot of the drugstore cosmetics are so good these days they’ve really upped their game, I already have a lot of Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks in different forms and they are gorgeous so hydrating and so affordable. I still love my Rimmel Semi Matte Loose Powder in Translucent, I think it’s as good as a lot of high end powders.🥰💜
Great video! Nice background change too 👍
Thanks! It’s been about 12 or so videos with this background...I’m glad to see the change is going over well. With the moving, there will be more changes to come! Thank you!
@@StephanieMarie sorry I missed your last videos. You are definitely one of my favourite!
I like the NYX brow pen better than Rimmel too
Happy Saturday!!
Happy Saturday Lori! ❤️
In new but your makeup is beautiful
Milani also has a great brow pen, and I’ve had it for months and it’s still going strong! Have you thought about reviewing the new catrice foundation? I would love to see how it wears on combo skin because I’m thinking about picking it up!
The Weekend Brow? Yes!!! I tried Benefit’s Microblading pens and they did not work for me, then I found the Milani pens at Ulta and I have been SO IMPRESSED!!
