You know this dupe for the OS powder melt. Now, I love my Powder melt and had some serious doubts this would be a dupe but she nailed it. And at a wayyyy cheaper price point plus she’s better for your skin. Absolutely love this dupe!!!
Clean Fresh Prime+Refresh Spray: Nourishing Milk
Dupe for the Summer Fridays at a much better price point. I am still a summer Fridays lippie fan and always will be but these are right on the money. Super softening, hydrating, and have all the same benefits.
Lip Butter Balms
Hourglass dupe!!! Finally. Shade range heaven too. So excited to see Covergirl drop this dupe. Might be the best of 2025. Obsessed
TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Bronzer
A much more affordable and some say better dupe for the CT wand. Wouldn’t use if you are an oily skin girl but I absolutely love this product. Loathe the packaging but we can overlook it for the price difference.
Halo Glow Liquid Highlighter Wand
Dupe the Armani happening out here. Bold move but they succeeded. I have them both and love them both. You’re not going to be able to tell the difference.
True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Foundation Makeup
Dupe for the ABH brow pencil. I am an ABH die hard and I’m still always reaching for her but this really is just as good. I love the micro precision size of this brow pencil. It’s a great formula, glides on with ease, great shade range as well.
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
A dupe for the well known and well loved CT airbrush powder. And some argue the Mco is better 🫢 they both leave that beautiful airbrush filter effect we all know and love. At a fraction of the price though.. I am definitely choosing the Mco Beauty. ...
MCoBeauty Miracle Flawless Pressed Powder Light
A dupe for the Nars blush. The powder pigments are basically identical and the blendability is the same. They both melt into the skin like a dream. Both offer amazing color, so why pay so much more? In my opinion anyway….
Baked Blush
Very similar to the UD all-nighter setting spray. Long lasting matte finish, lightweight and packed full of skin loving ingredients. And she will definitely last all night.
Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
A dupe for the Tatcha serum stick. Offers all the hydration, isn’t greasy, and is very nourishing on the skin. It’s also super travel friendly. Can be used as a moisturizer, highlighter, or like the serum stick by Tatcha, a primer to help your makeup...
On-the-Glow BASE Foundation Moisture Stick
Dupe for the Milk hydro grip primer. I personally love the Elf power grip. My makeup lays amazing with this tacky primer. No flaking or peeling. She’s sticky but if you’re using a tack primer, that’s the point. Always choosing Elf over all other grip...
Power Grip Primer
I love, love these liquid blushes by Elf!! A dupe for the Rare Beauty but with even more pigment. It’s no contest on this one for me. Elf offers a wonderful shade range in their camo liquid blushes. Lasts all day and blends like butter.
Camo Liquid Blush
Dupes for the Rhode blushes!!! Some of the colors are even sus!! Just sayin!! These blend out beautifully and are actually super luminous on the skin. I love them, I think they have great pigment, blendability, and have an amazing price point.
TruBlend Skin Enhancer Balms
Dupe for the Armani luminous foundation. She’s very ‘watery’ but definitely has good coverage. Also a very luminous and dewy finish. She’s gonna leave some serious glow! I actually think it’s a great foundation and would recommend.
Revolution Skin Silk Radiant Satin Serum Foundation
Dupe for the Iconic setting spray! With a MUCH better spray. The iconic spray always feels like I got hit with a water gun. Super glowy, locks the makeup down. All day hold! An absolute yes for me!
Glow on Lock - Hard Candy
Dupe for the OS blush trios. And in my opinion, better. Morphe is killing it with their products in 2025 and I am all about
Morphe! The colors and the fact you get the powder, cream, and highlight for one amazing price, is even better. I will have th...
