post pictures /swatches will be very hepful and please write orignal item price,shade name or number and a substiture product price,shade name or number as well to make this thread more interesting and informative
you can post multiple dupe products as well.Enjoy !
let me start
i have found bourjois shade blush 33 ( 56 aed ) is a dupe of Nars orgasm ( dont know the price)
bourjois blush 48 is an adult version of mac swoon blush
NYX Cream blush in Glow (right) is very similar to MAC Cream Blush in Posey (left). The MAC ones are $20 while the NYX one is $3-$4. They are the same in size and packaging too.
Milani blush in Luminous blush and Sleek blush in Rose Gold are also dupes of NARS Orgasm. O on top and Rose Gold on the bottom:
Sleek and Milani blushes are around $4-7 while NARS are now $28 (they used to be $24, then increased to $25, then to $27 and now $28 :halo:)
Mascara dupes are L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara ($5-$7) and Diorshow ($24-$25).
Yaay! I wanted Posey myself but ended up getting NYX and later realizing they are dupes so never got Posey afterall. I got them on eBay, 2 for $5 or $6.
After buying a few of the Wet n Wild palettes...I have got to say...I am in love. I can easily compare them to my UD palettes and almost say they're better.
Does anyone know any dupe of Benefit powderflage? I really liked how my under-eye concealer looked and how well it stayed without creasing after I put powderflage but $36 CDN doesn't seem justified for a pot that small. Any help?
Really. The color is potent and true to what you see in the pan. I don't need to overdo it to get staying power and no creasing. I had them on with the UD primer for 12+ hours and the shadow still looked good!
YES! The WnW palettes and singles are amazing. They are very easy to depot so you can put them in an empty Z Palette etc. You need to get Comfort Zone, it's one of the most loved 8-pans they make. Vanity is also another one, it's a 6-pan.

That's my next project...depot the shadows. The quality of WnW is amazing (I would never have known if you hadn't told me about them) but people don't seem to like the idea that they're WnW. Isn't that weird? I have more MAC and UD than the WnW but I reach for the WnW a lot because its so wonderful to work with. But the brand bothers people. They don't respect it because of the price.
I know what you mean, but WnW has really upped its game! I reach for them over any other shadow for some reason, I just know they won’t fail. I find depotting helps because you can have all of them in place. Plus, their cheap packaging sucks. And they are SO easy to depot. Just peel off the sticker off the bottom and take a lighter and run the flame under it until the plastic starts to look “wet”, then using anything pointy just poke it out gently and it should come out in one piece. If you have to struggle, then keep running the flame under it, you want to loosen the glue basically.
As for Preview Pink, the closest I find is Plaid Pink by MAC but I’m sure Revlon or NYX make something similar. Maybe even Snob by MAC? I couldn’t find the exact dupe.
I got them on eBay, 2 for $5 or $6.
