 Cheaper and better by this not that whatever you call it We all love a really good dupes video and that's what I'm going to be bringing you today I went back through some of my older dupes videos Which is cheaper and better and I will link that playlist below and I found some really good items in there That I think I need to update you about because we have so many new followers here So forgive me if you've heard of these before if I've shown them to you before But I really want to start bringing you the very best of what cheaper and better is almost like greatest hits And I do want to start out by telling you that my dear friend everyday Heidi on YouTube here came up with the title cheaper And better I did a collab with her where we did cheaper and better together So she was genius and coming up with that title where drugstore does it better than high-end And I believe that wholeheartedly you guys know that my channel is all about Finding affordable things that we can use and are just as beautiful as the high-end products So we're going to get into that right now So the first high-end product that I absolutely love is the NARS Radiant natural radiant long wear foundation now this gives such good coverage but at the same time it lets your face feel like skin and You have it on all day long and it just it perfects my aging skin and I really do like it But at forty nine dollars it can get a bit pricey to continue to repurchase But last month I did a video all about my top ten drugstore finds that I liked You guys recommended in that video of a foundation that I have been in love with ever since and I wish I had known about it Before that video, but here it is in walks number seven lift and illuminate triple action serum foundation I love this and I feel like these two foundations are almost identical I know that the ingredients are probably a little bit different They are on every single foundation but the way that this number seven acts on my skin is just like the NARS radiant and I think that I like it better as far as longevity and this product right here says that it has Anti-age ingredients in it, which I think is fantastic for anybody that has mature skin So I can put this on at the beginning of the day and I will be washing it off It won't have just faded off during the day. I'll be washing it off at night and the coverage is so good and it's not a Matte foundation is going to make my skin look drier and have you know my pores show up my wrinkles My mature skin, you know look worse. It is definitely one that is laying pretty on my skin It's giving that nourishing effect to my skin throughout the day. So I'm so glad you guys told me about that I said, thank you when I put it in my favorites video I'm gonna say thank you again because it is that good of a foundation and I feel like it is a dupe for the NARS Radiant not very long ago I told you guys about this Becca highlighter that I fell in love with the very first time that I used it and I have continued to love it But I wanted to find an affordable option for you because these can get pretty pricey This is called the pearl glow Luster glow powder and this is in pure pearl and it's not the same as these ones that are the Shimmering skin perfecters these ones you can really pick up a lot when you go in there with your finger Whereas this one is a little bit firmer of a product I fell in love with this powder mostly because I have mature skin and when we use highlighters They can have a tendency to really show up texture and this one doesn't do that at all It just shows a pretty pretty glow So I was on the hunt immediately because I know that this can be a pricey number for you guys And when I was looking through my stash, I found this one from wet and wild This is the mega glow powder highlighter in blossom glow. Okay So here's what the difference is in these two products They are identical colors and they give the identical amount of glow But you have to go really light-handed on the mega glow one from from wet and wild excuse me But when you get it on your cheeks You're gonna have the same exact color the same exact type of glow as long as you just go easy with it and Sheer it out. So there's the wet and wild one right there and there's the Becca one right there Can you tell any difference? I can't at all and if you want to you can build it up as much as you want to they can be Just gorgeous beaming highlighters if you want them to but my favorite part of them was that they didn't show texture And I could just do a natural glow from within type look without being you know moonbeam or disco ball looking So for oil absorbing for the longest time my favorite was the it by by pores pressed powder It has this quality of being able to just make your skin Look perfected and your pores look smaller and diffused without getting cakey or anything like that So if you have oily skin, you might really really love this. It is a clear powder I feel like it's not super drying if you do have dry skin You're probably not going to like this the best because it does keep you mattified and take care of those pores at the Same time, but again the it by by pores can be a little bit costly But elf came out with their pressed powder. This is the perfect finish HD powder and you guys I feel like this is almost just an identical dupe of it It feels the same it it acts the same it has that same creaminess when I'm rubbing my fingers together It does have quite a bit wider Whiter of a look to it in the pan there, but on your face. There's really no difference I have not noticed that this has any flashback. I get asked that a lot I haven't noticed that either one of these do I don't have a tendency to use a lot of flash So I apologize if you find that it does but I haven't noticed that at all and I feel like this is an absolute dupe for the By by pores pressed powder and have used that for a couple of years now and love it Another powder that I want to talk about is the Laura Mercier loose setting powder This is such a beautiful powder. Everybody was going crazy for it there for a while There was like no other powder in the whole wide world that could take its place and everybody was using it And it is their translucent powder and again This powder is so finely milled and it just perfects your pores and it's just a beautiful beautiful powder on The skin and there's a reason why everybody loves it so much It's because it just has that tendency to never look cakey and never look like you have a powder on your skin And I love it, but I wholeheartedly feel that the fit me from Maybelline Their loose powder is a dupe for that It has that same texture to it to where when you put it on you don't feel like you're gonna get cakey from it Just feels silky. It is just so smooth and just so pretty on the skin and when I put it on You know, I never feel like I'm getting cakey or it's settling into lines or anything like that. I love this powder I think it's such a fantastic powder and I absolutely think it's a dupe for the Laura Mercier one All right on to a lip product one of my favorite lip stick formulas ever is the Urban Decay vice formula And I love this color rapture. It's just such a pretty like medium toned Nude deeper nude pink color. I just think it's so gorgeous It's that rose color without being like too pink and I just love it And this is a cream formula and it's one that I have reached for so many times But recently I got rose embrace from Maybelline I believe this is one of their new shades and when I put it up there was like, oh Baby that is just as close and it is just spot on and even the formula this rose embrace is a tiny bit more matte I should say it's satin. It's not matte So this is more of a satin whereas the rapture from the vice lipsticks from Urban Decay is just a little bit more creamy So this one actually lasts longer on me and I don't think you can tell a difference really when you get it On your lips there. There's no difference plus the warmth of your lips will warm up the Maybelline one If you do like the creamier and you're gonna have a creamy lipstick anyway So love that love the formula of the Maybelline think it's every bit as good If not better than the one that I got from Urban Decay So love those another highlighter that everybody went besonkers for is the Emery Z highlighter from Anastasia Beverly Hills now this has been discontinued now But this was so pretty and the reason that it was so loved is because it didn't matter what skin tone you were You can wear this it is a really light like champagne gold color and it is just so stunning on the skin It's one of those that you can put on if you have a light skin tone You can really go lightly with it if you have a deeper skin tone You can really deepen it up and again It has that quality of having absolutely no sparkle Just a whole lot of shimmer and a whole lot of glow and I just think it is absolutely gorgeous Soft buttery formula that I love dipping my brush into because I know that it's again not going to show any texture And I have been on the hunt for a dupe for that for I can't tell you how long since it came out because I Bought it pretty soon after it came out think I finally found it you guys So this is from Flower Beauty and this is their trio highlighter and this color right here I think is a very dead-on dupe for the Emery Z highlighter and I'm going to put it right here next to it so you guys can see and Those two colors are the most beautiful Champagne gold colors together And I don't think there's any way that you could ever tell a difference of them Especially on the cheeks if one was on one cheek and the other was on the other There would be no way to ever tell so the nice thing about this is that not only what is it much more cost-effective? You can still get your hands on it, but you also get these two over here, which are so pretty This is a super light pinky glow, and this is a super light Almost like a pearlescent glow over here on the highlighters. So I absolutely love it So if we're talking about by this not that I would absolutely say that plus the fact You can't really get your hands on this anymore that kind of adds into it too, but really a good dupe there All right, and speaking about a cult favorite We have to talk about the it bye-bye under eye Concealer now you either love this stuff or you absolutely hate it And if you don't if you don't like it, you know what I'm talking about When you have dry mature creepy under eyes, you have a tendency to get creasing Okay, this is one that's going to give you the coverage that you need, but it's very very emollient for dry skin So a lot of people were finding that when they used it It was creasing because they used way too much and you know you guys I think at any age when you use an emollient Concealer actually any concealer you're going to get a certain amount of creasing I don't know that I have ever found a concealer that didn't crease a little bit on me I have a lot of expression in my face and I continue to smile and I just you know I don't like to set my under eyes because of how cakey they are But I love this product because of how well it covers I have those deep dark Hereditary dark circles under my eyes and then I have the crepiness and the dryness from you know having mature skin So this one just seems to work so good for me, but again the tube is a little bit expensive I did a video a while ago. I don't remember how long ago it was But I'll make sure I I link it for you where I actually used this product from Revolution Pro makeup revolution This is the ultimate coverage crease-proof concealer now I think personally that this one covers just a little bit better than the it cosmetics one They are the exact same consistency So if you didn't like this one from it and how Really creamy and thick it is because this is a very thick product You're not gonna like this one either but I really found that the key to taking care of my under eyes and not having that problem is Just the teeny tiniest amount that you could possibly use on this It is an exact dupe for you guys I'm not kidding the way that it acts on your skin the way that it covers the How emollient it is and that it is not super drying It is the exact same product and so I would absolutely say if you've been wanting to try the it but you thought well I can't really afford it and you hear everybody rave about it This one is just as good and so by this not that especially if you have dry mature Creepy under eyes and you've been wondering about it And I'm gonna link that video full of ten tips that will help you avoid Creasing and help you avoid having that cakey under eye look all right another lipstick that I absolutely love from This one is from Mac and this is Angel and I think this lipstick is so pretty It's a very pink lipstick It has a little bit of peach in it But honestly it really leans towards the blue side of being a pink lipstick But it has a cream formula which I love and I just really think it's one of my favorites that I've ever gotten from Mac But I also believe that this one is just as good if not better Romantic rose is one that I recently got my hands on as well from Maybelline and Honestly, you guys I feel like I think I like the romantic rose a little bit more The reason is is because I think the Maybelline one is just a little bit more opaque And the Angel one is just a little bit more sheer from Mac I really do think that the romantic rose is going to take over for me for Angel even though I love the formula I think I like the romantic rose or the Maybelline formula just a little bit more than I do the Mac and yeah If you can spend about five dollars as compared to about 19 why wouldn't you right and that is it you guys? That is my last dupe for this video like I said I am rounding up my greatest hits of my Dupes videos or my cheaper and better videos and I'm gonna be bringing you those so you guys can see them Because so many of them are quite older and I wanted to really update them for you guys And you know what before we go you guys I bet you could really give me some great dupes So I would love in the comment section if you guys would go ahead and give me some dupes of what you found That you like that works better than the high-end stuff that you had before I'd love that That's always fun for me to hear from you guys I hope that you enjoyed this video if you like seeing dupes video, please give me a thumbs up I really do appreciate that if you're new to my channel I would love if you would consider subscribing We'd like to have you here as a part of our YouTube family This is an amazing bunch of people here, and I'm telling you we just get along well And there's no drama which I love about this channel So everyone please take care of yourselves be happy be healthy, and I will see you all in my very next video Take care.
