MY FAVOURITE AFFORDABLE DUPES FOR HIGHEND PRODUCTS #1

Hello Everyone! I have said so many times that it doesn't always pay to spend a ton of money on a product, when there is something just as good if not better for a lot less at the drugstore. I am not saying i don't love making one or two high-end purchases now and again, i mean who doesn't? Over the years that i have been around makeup, i have discovered quite a few affordable "dupes" for high end products, which have obviously been adapted with a smaller price tag in the form of a different product. So today i thought i would share with you part one of two posts all about some of my personal favourite affordable dupes for high-end products...

You would think that nothing could be as beautiful of a product than the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer, well except for the heavy price tag obviously. The Vivid Baked Bronzer by Makeup Revolution is the most perfect dupe, it comes in a wide range of different shades, is equally as pigmented and costs £41 less than the Hourglass Bronzer does. The only down side to this is the packaging isn't as stunning but for £4, you really can't complain.

I am a huge fan of Too Faced, especially the eyeshadow palettes and who doesn't love the famous deliciously chocolate smelling palette, that goes by the name of the Chocolate Bar palette? I Heart Makeup on TAM Beauty (makeup revolution) do a range of perfect dupes for all of the Chocolate Bar palettes, including the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette and for £31.01 less each. 

Who would of ever thought we'd all be opting for a water spray for primer over a regular creamy formula product? Over the past few months i have been using this primer water by Freedom and i am completely obsessed with how good it is, it works just as well if not better than a regular primer would. The most famous for kicking off the primer water fan club was Smashbox but if you want to save some money for the same product, opt for the Freedom one and save a £14 difference in cost.

This blush by NARS is a cult favourite by many, everything from it's peachy/pink shade with golden shimmer, to it's provocative name. NARS now have a full range of different products in the Orgasm shade, including a Super Orgasm blush shade but the price is still fairly hefty for a blush. A favourite blush of mine is the Sleek Powder Blush in the shade Rose Gold, which is pretty much identical to the Orgasm blush and has a difference in price of £18.01.

Finally we have a foundation dupe and both foundations happen to be firm favourites of mine, maybe as they are in fact dupes for each other. Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation has been a favourite of mine for so many years and i have gone through endless bottles of it, this is not good for the bank balance though coming in at £31 a time. The Infallible 24H Matte Foundation by L'Oreal is pretty much the same in all areas consistency and coverage wise, the only difference is the packaging and the huge price difference of £23.01 for an equal amount of product.
