I would really appreciate that Every thumbs up helps me get generated out into YouTube beauty land and I really appreciate your help with that So let's get into the dupes. I have a specific routine that I go through with my eyes And one of them is using the benefit high brow pencil. This is not a Shimmery pencil or anything like that It's just a light pink pencil that gives a lot of illumination to whatever part you put it on and I usually use It on right below the arch in the eyebrow and right in the inner part of my eye to lighten up that cavern But when Wild also has their ultimate brow highlighter and this is basically the same exact thing It is you cannot tell a difference even in the texture in the creaminess in How it stays how it illuminates all those things you can't tell a difference But boy you can tell a difference in the price. So when this is gone I am definitely just going to stick with the wet and wild one and be using that over and over again So that is number one number two is that every time I do my eye makeup I have fallen in love with the Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow primer. I love Eyeshadow primer for a couple of reasons the first reason is obviously because it keeps my eyeshadow on but the second reason is because it is So opaque and it takes out any redness that I have. It's just plain lovely. It grips the eyeshadow like crazy It's really good. Then I think a wonderful Substitutes is the essence. I love color eyeshadow base. It is so nice also Now it doesn't have the same colors So the Anastasia kind of has a white color. This one has more of a skin like color or tone to it So the Anastasia is right here and this is the essence one. This will perform almost Identically to the Anastasia one. This is what I used before I discovered the Anastasia one But I do switch off with the essence I love color one as well because as you can see it's just almost an identical dupe for it and As I touch it right here, even the texture of it is just about identical So love that it saves you a whole lot when you're buying your makeup, okay? The next product that is really good is from Smashbox and this is the photo finish primerizer This is primer and moisturizer in one now when I looked on the ingredients of this I thought it was gonna be more along the lines of just having just the hydrating effects in it But it doesn't it also has in the dimethicone Which is the pore smoothing part that we all want when you put this on it is very light It is very airy It feels more like a moisturizer than it does a primer because you know Primers normally have this slip to them, but as it dries down it does have that little bit of slip in it So that's when you feel the dimethicone which that is the ingredient that we want to minimize pores So that's what we press into our pores So this really does a great job of creating a barrier between your foundation and your moisturizer for the day But it also gives a little bit of moisture if you're very dry and it definitely gives the poor minimizing or the smoothing effect But I actually found a dupe in the Milani prime perfection face primer This is the hydrating and poor minimizing one now This one does come out white and it does come out looking a little bit thicker than the other one But as you work it in exactly the same thing happens You can feel that hydration and you can feel that dimethicone now for me The Smashbox one is just a little too thin In that it doesn't do as good of a job as the Milani does in hiding my large pores around my nose and my chin The other thing is this has just a very slight very very slight mint scent to it and it feels very cooling So it's almost like it might have some eucalyptus or maybe some mint in it or menthol in it It doesn't like blast you but you definitely can smell the minty quality to it And you definitely can feel the cooling on your skin. So this quickly became my favorite primer Even though it's in this little trial size. I'm almost out getting ready to pre-purchase this again I feel like it is better than the actual Smashbox one My next one is a lip product and this is from Mac and this is their Dazzle gloss and it is so pretty it is in the color Let's see if I can read this without my glasses the a veneto something like that I can't see it without my glasses. I will make sure I put it up on the screen This is like a beautiful lipstick topper that just has like a holographic pink Kind of a little bit of lavender in there and it's so pretty and when you look at it through the tube You would think that it would have like glitter particles in it. It doesn't it's smooth. It's creamy It's thick enough to where it's gonna last a long time, but not sticky So I really have loved that one, but here's my two dupes The first one is from L'Oreal and this is the galaxy Lumiere Holographic lip gloss and this one is in Polaris pink and when I put this next to it You're gonna see that it is as far as color goes. It is such a close one It has just an itty bit more pink in it But it does again have that holographic effect where it does have the duo chrome to it And then the other one is even cheaper than the L'Oreal and this is the LA girl Holographic gloss topper and the writing on here is so small I'm gonna throw the name up here because I can't see it But this one is as far as I'm concerned absolutely identical to it They are just beautiful I love having the pink with a little shift of purple on your lips I'll put a little bit on for you guys. I just think that's so pretty to have that little bit of shift Little bit of dimension to your lips so that your lips really stand out So those are some fun dupes that I found. Okay, I have another lip one for you This one is a Mac lipstick, which is one of my favorite lipsticks It's called snob and it is kind of a Satiny matte color that is more on the lines of a blue pink and I really really like it But I have a do this one is from Maybelline and this is blushing pout And I think this one is probably just a little bit better than the Mac one and I'll tell you why look at Identical colors. This one is a little bit more hydrating So if I only wear this on my lips then throughout the day I don't get the dryness that the Mac does the Mac claims to be just a satin formula But when I look at it I see more of a matte than the actual Maybelline ones So both of them say they're satin But I feel like the Maybelline one is just a bit more comfortable from the Mac one All right one of my very very very Favorites from Becca in her pressed shimmer powders is the one that is called prismatic amethyst and Of course, you would think that I got it for the purple and I would have thought that it would have been purple too But it isn't it is this beautiful light icy pink color that has a shift in it That is just absolutely gorgeous and the pink in it Just it just brightens your face if you are a light to medium color gal It just is so brightening and so pretty essence has their pure nude space lighter Okay, we know we're not talking about the actual highlighter one that everybody loves just for the subtle glow This is the space lighter one and it has a color that is just almost identical maybe a little bit lighter, but it has that duo chrome effect and It is so close you guys. It is just one that So pretty and so close on the way that it looks on your skin that there's no way anybody would be able to tell and This is a little bit softer than the actual pure nude highlighter Just a little bit softer of a formula. So I do really like that I like the Becca one too, but for being quite close to an identical formula The essence one is just a little bit creamier So if you have been eyeballing this one and thinking about getting the one from Becca that is the amethyst Try the space light. I think you're gonna like it just as much. All right another lip comes from Buxom this is one of my favorite Buxom colors and you guys if you've ever tried Buxom You know that it definitely has that cooling effect and you know, it's like it's got the menthol in it And that's what it's supposed to be the plumping factor. Okay, so I'm not talking about the plumping factor for this one I'm just talking about just the straight color of it. This one is in lavender Cosmo It's more along the lines of a pinky color. So there is it right there. It goes good on nude lipsticks It goes good on top of pink lipsticks. It's just really pretty, but I like the color of it I just wish it was a little bit darker. So in walks Revlon and this is one of their glosses and this is in pink diamond I like this formula better for two reasons. It stays longer and it's a little bit more opaque So the color of that the color of the one that is the lavender Cosmo and Buxom If you like the formula stick with that one But if it's just the color you're seeking that pink diamond one from Revlon is almost exactly But it's a little bit more opaque. So you can wear it all by itself You can obviously wear the Buxom one by itself too But you can wear this one by itself and it does the job of giving you a different lip color than just being you know A lip topper. So for me, I really have been enjoying this love the color of it Absolutely love the color. This is one of those colors that has been around for a long time And I've repurchased it over and over again And when I was looking for dupes in my collection and found that I was like pretty good on that one So like that went a whole lot too. And then lastly, we're gonna talk about the Strivectin neck cream Now this is supposed to have TL advanced tightening neck cream and it's supposed to have some patented formula in there Okay, I bought this I was excited about it I have been having troubles with my neck because I'm losing weight and my neck is starting to sag So I thought I'm gonna buy you know one that everybody says is fantastic and it does the job really well You got the before you got the after pictures. I Don't like this stuff you guys I don't like it at all and I'll tell you why when I put it on my neck I can put it on rub it in feel like I've rubbed it in and then I'll be looking down at my phone or down in my Tablet or working on my laptop and looking back and forth and all of a sudden I'll feel like it's kind of sticky and I will go up there and I'll just kind of rub it a little bit and it has balled up in my neck Creases and then I will get kind of disgusted with it and try it try to wipe it off and then all of it balls up It falls up and it rubs off. What is it really doing for you? It's not you know It's not sinking into your skin. You've got the product that you've rubbed off I don't feel like it's really that great as a matter of fact It's a disappointing product as far as I'm concerned, but the gold bond ultimate neck and chest firming cream This stuff I got two weeks ago I think three weeks ago and I'm already feeling like I'm noticing that I have less sagging here in my neck area and less wrinkles and What it does more than anything that I'm loving is that it hydrates So good and I even can feel it sink in and I really like that It does what it says it's going to neck and chest firming cream Which is exactly what this product said, but this just balled up this sinks in and I'm seeing results With this I didn't see results even after three or four weeks of it at just every single time I put it on It was balling up. So I would highly recommend the gold bond one It just seems to be doing a much better job at helping my neck and helping those wrinkles down there Okay, that is it for today's video.
