MY FAVOURITE AFFORDABLE DUPES FOR HIGHEND PRODUCTS #2

Hello Everyone and Happy Friday! So for today's post i am back with part two to my favourite affordable dupes for highend products post, which i first shared with you all last week. Like i mentioned in that post i have discovered quite a few dupes in my time, as well as more recently also and who doesn't love saving a a few pounds in the process? If you didn't see part one to this post, then you can catch it here AFFORDABLE DUPES #1...


I am a huge fan of both of these products, even though they are firstly both as good as each other and second of all they do the same thing. Both the MAC Pro Longwear paint pots and the Maybelline Color Tattoos come in several different finishes, all great for different things. I like to use the matte bone shade called Créme De Nude by Maybelline as a base for my eyeshadow, it just cancels everything out allowing you to have a blank canvas to work with. The high-end version of this is the MAC paint pot in the shade Soft Ochre, so if you want to give this type of product a go but don't want to spend the £16, opt for the Maybelline Color Tattoo and save yourself £11.01.


Both of these product happen to be firm favourites of mine in the highlighter department, especially the Freedom highlighter recently. Anastasia Beverly Hills is one of my favourite high-end brands, as every single product i have tried is worth the money but putting that aside i feel as if both of these products are pretty much the same. The formula of both highlighters are super lightweight, finely-milled and super pigmented, but the difference between the two is the price tag difference of £25 as the Freedom highlighters are only £3 each...mind blowing! 


If you prefer a cream highlight over a powder glow, then both of these products are equally as good and obviously do the same job. There is only one slight difference between the two products and that is the Maybelline Master Strobing Stick is a tad deeper in colour, but the formulas are pretty much exact dupes for each other applicators also. The price difference between the two products is a saving of £17.51. Giving the one from Maybelline a try is good, if you are wanting to get into cream highlight but are unsure if it is for you.


If you have been lusting after the well talked about/loved Modern Renaissance eyeshadow palette but it isn't inside your budget range, then Makeup Revolution has got your back. The New-Trals vs Neutrals palette is full of the same/similar toned eyeshadows as the the Modern Renaissance palette and that will set you back less than £10. I personally love both palettes equally as much, especially the Makeup Revolution palette at this time of year. The price difference between the both palettes is a saving of £34.01.


Last of all we have yet another dupe for an Anastasia Beverly Hills product, but this time it is all about those glossy lips. Both the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip glosses and the Milani Brilliant Shine lip glosses have been favourites of mine for so long, they are more of a pigmented gloss over something sheer which is what i prefer. The shade Metallic Rose by Anastasia Beverly Hills and the shade Mauve Fetish by Milani are pretty accurate dupes for each other. The only difference between the two is the price difference of £5.
