I bought these for summer and they ended up being such a good find. They blend out so easily and give my skin the prettiest warm, sun kissed color without looking orange. Such a good dupe for the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi drops, especially if you want ...

Such a good dupe for the Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops. Both have niacinamide and give that same glowy, dewy finish. Once you put them on the skin and blend them in, you honestly can’t really tell much of a difference. I’d definitely go for this ...

A really good affordable dupe for the Patrick Ta palette. The shades aren’t all that similar, but the pigmentation is honestly amazing for the price. Both palettes also have two cream shades, and once they’re on the eyes, you can barely tell the diff...

Such a good dupe for the Rare Beauty highlighter. I’d recommend the shade Blush Money as a dupe for Rare Beauty Mesmerize. The finish is so pretty and smooth on the skin, and the shade looks really similar once applied. For the price, it’s honestly h...

Such a good dupe for the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer. It really locks your makeup in and helps everything stay in place throughout the day. It’s not as sticky as the Milk one, which I actually prefer, but still gives that grippy base that makes you...

Dupe for the Rhode Pocket Blush in Toasted Teddy. The shades are sooo similar, but the Revolution one is a little more sheer and buildable, which I actually really like. You can start with just a tiny bit and build it up until you get the color you w...

Dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk. The difference between them is honestly so small, but the Essence 102 is a little lighter, which I actually prefer. Pillow Talk is a bit too orange-pink for me, while this one looks softer and more natural on m...

I honestly think this is the closest one to the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. I actually prefer the Essence one because it’s less sticky, but still feels really hydrating and gives the same glossy look. I have the 01 Peptacular shade and I really like...

I actually like the Essence one even more than the Make Up For Ever lip liner. The shades aren’t exactly the same, but 03 feels like a perfect middle ground between them. It has that same soft, easy to blend look.

Dupe for the Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal. The texture is literally the same, they both have that really smooth, almost wet texture that glides so easily on the eyes. I’d even go as far as saying the KIKO one is more pigmented.
