I love finding good deals, but my favourite type of good deal is a dupe- two products that are very similar but extremely different in price. Since I'm going to Europe I'm "trying" to cut down my spending. I've been doing well, and it's thanks in part to finding little product dupes. If I could afford to spend money on high-end products I most certainly would, but most people can't (and I'm one of them). By finding these dupes it still allows me to use great products at a fraction of the cost, which helps me save money for my big trip!
My first dupe is the Beauty Blender- a sponge used to apply foundation to your face. The Beauty Blender is used by makeup artists all over the world and is recommended to anyone who wants to appear as though they're wearing no foundation. This product is $26.00 at Sephora, which is a little steep for me. I found Quo's Blending Sponge at Shoppers Drug Mart for $6.99. I bought it, took it home and tried it right away. I applied foundaton to my face by dabbing it on my cheeks, chin and forehead then followed the instructions to blend everything. It gives your face a flawless glow and the edges allow you to get into the hard to reach places on your face (like the creases of your nose and eyes). I use this sponge everyday, but it does need to be cleaned about once a week. This was a great buy!
My second dupe is Moroccan Oil, which is an oil-based hair treatement. This is such a great product and you notice a difference in your hair immediately. I only had a small sample of this oil, but I can truly say it's an amazing creation. The only downfall is the price which comes in at $43.00. I researched and found got2b's Oil-licious line, so naturally I went out and bought the shampoo and styling oil. Both products cost me under $15.00! This styling oil is great- my hair is shiny, soft and has no frizz! One thing oil assists with is the length of time it takes to dry your hair. When I use styling oil I find it cuts down the length of time it takes to blow dry my long locks. Definitely try got2b Oil-licious Styling Oil- not only will you have amazing results but it won't hurt your bank account. You can't go wrong with this product.
These are my two most recent beauty dupes. I'm always on the hunt and always open to suggestions, so comment and let me know if you have any dupes of your own!
Cheers,
