  • Drugstore alternatives for high end makeup products, cheaper and better, when drugstore makeup does it better, are so much fun for me to find affordable products that have a luxury makeup feel to them, and be able to make a video comparing drugstore makeup to high end products. I hope you enjoy seeing my version of buy this not that. Have a great day my friends!

    Dear Melissa, Been a follower for eons & I can honestly say that these videos have saved me so much money. Now almost all my skincare is Korean or Japanese based. I have been severely sick for almost a month. First I got covid then this Winter flu that has plagued the country. I came to my daughters for Christmas & yes I am still here. My saving grace is I brought my skin & hair care with me. When you are so sick Just brushing your teeth is a chore. My skin was getting dry as the desert. To the rescue, cleanse, the AHA, BHA, PHA toner the Bifida & lip mask. Just getting that far for a couple of weeks saved my starving, parched skin. Can't say enough about those two products.
    Thank you for always looking out for us, because I know you have struggles of your own, but it doesn't keep you from putting that beautiful smile forward & keeping us informed. I know this is long, but it is a true Thank You from the bottom of my heart for always being here for us. Sending out so much love. Annemarie

      The only thing that I felt was worth it until they changed the formula was Bobbi Brown serum foundation. I’ve never found anything since that comes close - it was the perfect your skin but better while covering hyperpigmentation - I’m oily and dry and it worked over every primer too, from Future Dew and Backlight primer, to Face Base - everything else is too thick, dry, or it emphasizes my pores like crazy. I’m so bummed! I will splurge on foundation and concealer because my skin is so dry and finicky (under my eyes) that the only concealer that doesn’t look dry is Tarte Creaseless, and I have to put a heavy balmy eye cream underneath it still!! I like L’Oréal serum but it’s not as blurring and smoothing. I have to be really careful around my nose and mouth - heavy foundations pull my mouth sides down, making me look horrible!!

    I’ve tried all sorts of high end brushes, until I stumbled across the Believe Beauty brushes at none other than Dollar General…I know, sounds crazy, but go spend $4 on their foundation and blush brushes, I’m certain you’ll love them. I’m going to grab a bunch of their eye brushes as well. Can’t beat the quality for the price.

    Hi Melissa! I just finished the Elf lip mask & I thought I flew through it, because I did!!! You only get 4.4 grams in it vs 20 grams in the Laneige Lip mask!!! I thought it was a money saver but was shocked when I compared the two!!! I fly through lip products because of my dry mouth! Everytime I do an empties video I have a ton of lip products! Just wanted to let you know about the size comparison I did!🌺

    It’s been a long time so I’m elated to find you here! My mobile home burned down and I lost all 7 of my precious kitties. I’m blessed at the moment with a gorgeous rental but I’m in such a terrible financial and housing insecurity in about 3 months so I’ve just gotten back into my face care routine. I’m so glad to see these lower priced items! All of my brushes, devices, makeup was ruined in the fire. My Valentine’s Day birthday cheered me up and out of a 2+ week depressive mode. Your hair is gorgeous as are you!
    Please let me know where I can get the grey washcloth with the pink lining around the edges. I love them but only salvaged 1.
    Love And Blessings,

    As a Canadian our prices are extremely different ours are double sometimes triple the cost it’s almost never just the dollar exchange so I really appreciate these videos because there’s no way I can afford high end or luxury products, I’ve never been disappointed with a purchase I made from your recommendations especially skin care oh my gosh you have skin care nailed ! I’ve seen such a difference in my texture. We need to remember that being human we are going to have texture but we can make it better it will never go away completely 100% plz don’t believe any Creator telling you if you buy - product it will completely disappear because it won’t they’re being Sponsored ( paid) to try and sell you the products, the products I have gotten from Melissa’s reviews have made a big difference in my skin and would have cost the same as what I’ve been using before. Remember just because it’s not costing you an absolutely high price tag doesn’t mean it’s just not as equally good, this shows us that those high tags are just to pay for a name on a bottle you really can get very high quality products at a much more affordable price tag. What’s affordable to you could be very different than what I think is affordable so we need to remember that as well, but paying 30 dollars vrs 100 dollars I know what choice I’m going to make and I believe nothing on The Ordinary Site is above that price point and they have amazing skin care that for me is around that 12 dollar mark and I can get three Months out of certain products some 5 weeks. But my entire routine day n night is under 75 dollars and some bottles last 3 Months so do the math I’m also 47 and pretty much every dark spot on my face has disappeared or on its way to be completely gone, as a kid and teen of the 80s we were not putting on sunscreen the way we are now so I had a few sun spots that really bothered my and today they don’t bother me at all or very little vrs before I made changes based on Melissa’s recommendations. I hope today is treat everyone well and if not like me having a bad pain day I have to remind myself it will get better xo .

I only buy it when it’s on sale or I find it at Marshall’s or TJM. I kmew when you showed that Haus lip crayon you were going to dupe it with the Maybelline. I believe Maybelline makes the best drug store lipstick. I love your eye makeup in this video. I hope you’re doing better!

      Yep! @@FourJaysFour I don't spray it directly on my face, instead spray it into my hands and press it onto my face. Sometimes I use it to set my concealer, by spraying a bit onto the back of my hand tap my brush--I use a bdellium 788--into the product, then gently press it under my eyes. Don't overload the brush or it will remove the concealer. A sponge works too, I prefer brushes. With the tool that works for you, this technique can be used to set your whole face.

    Awesome video. I’m looking for a dupe for Bobbi Brown Sand Dune eyeshadow stick and their old serum foundation formula (new one is too thick and doesn’t have the luminosity) - Sand Dune is the perfect neutral color “no makeup” base color but nothing is exact that I’ve found - I think MAC has a light brown that’s similar.

    Hi Melissa
    I follow your youtube, and use the serum you recommended named
    MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Face Serum
    to replace the Esta Lauder night repair and it works greatly. Thank you so very much, I saved money.
    However, I still spend too much money to use SKII night and day cream to prevent white head warts to grow larger and this product also making the warts smaller. The product is just too expensive. I have white head pimple or wart under my eyes.
    Do you know any cream product that has similar ingredients as SKII night cream? that is less expensive that I can try out?
    I will try the Key Secret Essence you recommended to replace SKII essence and see if this helps to reduce my white head pimples' size.
    thank you so very much for your help.
