Skincare is expensive… here are some dupes to make beautiful skin cheap.
Personally, I cannot afford $90 moisturizer. This is about 80 dollars cheaper than La Mer Creme but has all the same benefits.
Nivea Creme Body, Hand And Face Moisturizing Cream Fresh
A dupe for supergoop (haha that rhymes). This sunscreen is light but allows for a slight glow. My bestie and I looked for this in every target for months we finally found it and we are obsessed!
Suntouchable Whoa Glow Primer with SPF 30 | e.l.f. Cosmetics
A dupe for makeup wipes or remover that I use every day. This leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. It is less wasteful and nicer to my skin than other makeup wipes.
Garnier : Micellar Water - Target
A dupe for Drunk Elephant babyfacial. I do not personally use this, however, my sister swears on this product. I have seen a difference in her skin, it has cleared up a ton and looks glowy and smooth.
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
I used this in high school every day to get a glow. I love this product. There are many high-end product this can replace.
Hydro Boost Water Gel & Oil-Free Face Moisturizer - Neutrogena
A dupe for laneige lip mask. This leaves my lips glossy and incredibly soft.
CARENE Lip Sleeping Mask 5g (Berry 3Set)
A dupe for many moisturizers. This is my moisturizer of choice. It is light enough so I don't feel greasy but moisturized enough that I never feel dry.
Cerave Moisturizing Cream - Target

Some cheap makeup dupes for everyone's favorite super expensive products.
My best friend actually told me about this one. She likes the blue one but finds the pink one too sticky. This ensures that your makeup is going to stay all day. This is a dupe for Milk's Hydro Grip.
e.l.f. Power Grip Face Primer
Contour to the gods with this product. This is lightweight and seamlessly blends into the skin! A dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand. They also have highlighter shades!
Halo Glow Beauty Wand - e.l.f. Cosmetics
A dupe for Charlotte Tilbury's liquid blush. Their textures are similar as well as the shades. Lumi is sure to be vibrant and gorgeous on your cheeks.
Loreal Lumi Liquid Blush - Target
This has been y favorite translucent powder since high school. I use it pretty much every day! You can use this instead of Laura Mecier Translucent powder or any other powder on the market!
Face Powder & Setting Powders | NYX Professional Makeup
I spend too much time in the Glossier section. My hands are always covered in their products when I leave Sephora, but I never buy them. This is a dope for cloud paint which is one of my fav products (I have tried every shade on my hands) to try from...
Maybelline Cheek Heat Blush - 0.27 Fl Oz - Target
I must say.. Elf is a major competitor in the dupe game. Constantly going at Charlotte. and succeeding. Here is great dupe for Charlottle Tilbury Flawless filter doundation, by yours trurly, Elf. Everything in thier halo glow colelction is worth it!
A great dupe for any high-end concealer. I personally think of Tarte Shape Tape. This covers what you need it to cover without being cakey.
Maybelline Magic Eraser - Target
I do not exactly know what product this is a dupe for. However, it is my favorite lip product, and for only 8 dollars. There is not a color that I am not obsessed with.
Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss| NYX Professional Makeup
Beige A Nu 630 is nearly the same shade as Pillow Talk by one of my favorite girls. Pillow talk is my fav liner for any lip combo so having a cheaper option is.. chef kiss!
Loreal Color Riche Lip Liner - Target
A dupe for Anastania's brow freeze. This will keep your brows sharp and in place all day. This won't get crusty or flake away!
