hot makeup dupes tested - soft glam palette dupe? pillow talk lip liner dupe?

Looking for some drugstore makeup dupes? I’m testing dupes for popular items like the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation, Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette, Champagne Pop Highlighter, and more! Come see if I found a good dupe!

It’s been a while since I’ve done an in-depth dupe video! Last summer I tested a bunch of popular high end makeup dupes, and it’s turning out to be one of my most popular videos! If you haven’t seen it, definitely go give it a watch.

In today’s video we’re testing some very popular high end makeup against some drugstore items. I have done lots of research and testing and really think I’ve found some winners this round!

Can you tell which side of my face is high end and which side is drugstore?

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation Dupe

Too Faced Born this Way Foundation dupe

The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation is absolutely lovely – it’s one of my top foundations ever! It’s medium to full coverage with a very natural finish. I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s one I consistently use. I started using this Maybelline dupe about a month ago and I knew it reminded me of something but I couldn’t figure out what. Then, lightbulb moment – it’s so similar to the Too Faced foundation! As you can see in the video, I did not really see much of a difference between the two foundations by the end of the night.


Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer Dupe

Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer dupe

The Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer is honestly my holy grail concealer. It’s got the coverage like Shape Tape does, but it is not nearly as dry. If you think Shape Tape is too dry, you’ll love this one. When I first used this Cover Girl dupe, I knew immediately it reminded me of the Too Faced concealer. I even included it in my Drugstore Concealer Dupes blog post – that’s how much I stan this concealer.


Becca Luminous Blush in Blushed Copper Dupe

Becca Luminous Blush in Blused Copper dupe

The Becca blush in Blushed Copper is a stunning blush that gives the skin a warm coppery glow. It’s perfect for fall, but also in a bronze makeup look. This Milani dupe caught my eye when I was swatching my blush collection. They look a little different side by side, and the colors are slightly different when swatched, but they look incredibly similar on the cheeks. I wouldn’t say this is a dead on color dupe, but the Milani gives such a similar effect on the cheek – I could hardly tell the difference.


Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette Dupe

Anastasia soft glam palette dupe

The Anastasia Soft Glam Palette is definitely in my top five favorite eyeshadow palettes of all time. I love how feminine yet sultry, yet also neutral the palette is. It’s perfection every time! I was able to dupe every single shade in this Makeup Revolution Palette dupe (in the Velvet Rose) It is such a great alternative to the ABH, but I will say the quality is much different. If you know that going in you won’t be disappointed!

Becca Champagne Pop Dupe

Becca Champagne Pop dupe

Champagne Pop is a cult favorite highlighter and popular for good reason. It’s flattering on so many skin tones, has a gorgeous peachy glow. I’ve been trying to dupe it for years and nothing has come close (to me) until now. This Physicians Formula dupe is so good! It is a more expensive drugstore product, but you’re still saving $23. You want to make sure to get the shade “Freshly Picked.”


Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Pillow Talk Liner

Pillow talk lip liner dupe

The Pillow Talk lip liner is such a gorgeous product! I am a huge Charlotte Tilbury fan, but I do know that the products are a pretty penny. When I came across this Essence dupe (shade Big Proposal), I was shook. I actually was able to get it for under $2! The shades are so darn close, I’d consider this a good color dupe. However, the Essence side wore off much more easily – that’s something you’ll want to take note of if you really like the longevity of the Charlotte Tilbury product.


Urban Decay All Nighter Dupe

The Urban Decay All Nighter is my holy grail setting spray. This NYX dupe is very similar! I honestly could not tell a difference in how my makeup wore at the end of the day, but I do think the All Nighter does wear a tad bit longer. I need to test in more strenuous conditions and humid weather!

That was so fun! I always love doing these! Let me know if you have any favorite high end products you would like me to dupe, and I will put it on my list!

If you loved this post, I’d love if you pinned it!

I’ve been using @bondiboost supplements and products to regrow, nourish, and prevent further loss. One product I’ve been taking is the Anti Hair-Loss Supplement, which is perfect for anyone suffering from thinning hair and noticeable hair fall. It’s formulated with Biota Orientalis, which is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. In the month I’ve been taking this supplement, I’ve noticed less hair shedding in the shower and when brushing my hair. I can’t wait to see what continued use will do for my hair!

Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing a Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing and hand sanitizing this past year? 🙋🏼‍♀️ That would be all of us. 😅 #DovePartner I know your hands are probably dry and angry and the rest of your body could use some moisture during the winter months. @krogerco has an amazing selection of personal care and beauty products that can help you be your best self this year. I’ve been loving the new @dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer - it kills germs and actually feels moisturizing! And, of course, the Deep Moisture Body Wash is an old favorite of mine - great for the winter months or just for all the extra washing we’re having to do right now. Save time by adding Beauty and Personal Care products to your Kroger shopping cart, and your dry skin will thank you later. #UnileverPartner #UnileveratKroger #KrogerBestofBeauty
How we feel during yet another unprecedented event How we feel during yet another unprecedented event🤪 This Texas winter storm was wild, and completely heartbreaking to witness. It’s been a very hard week, and we are some of the lucky ones! Going without power for 3 days was not fun, but we’re very thankful we do not have any damage or burst pipes. 

So many people have quickly responded and been so generous. Neighbors helping each other, kindness from grocery stores and restaurants, and help from people out of state has really made me proud. We will get through this 💪🏻

I’m sharing a bunch of resources in my stories, and I’m saving it all to a “HELP TEXAS” highlight. Feel free to share it or reference it!

I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum hair loss stinks! Even though I’m 1.5 years out from having a baby, I am still experiencing after effects. My hairline is still thin, and I’ve got a lot of baby hairs I’d like to grow faster. To help speed things along, I’m starting a “hair glow up” challenge with @bondiboost products. First product I want to mention is the Hair Growth Support Supplement. This product and their anti hair-loss support supplement are scientifically formulated to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. The Hair Growth Support Supplement contains awesome ingredients like zinc, silicon, biotin, and ascorbic acid to support the maintenance of healthy hair. Can’t wait to see what it’ll do for my baby hairs! [sponsored] #BondiBoost #BoostYourRoots
If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of the ways you like to keep your hair healthy? Here are some of the things I do:

▪️ Stretch my color sessions every 3-4 months. I know bleach and color services can weaken hair, so I like a lived-in rooted blonde that looks awesome as it grows out.
▪️ Air dry my hair after washing and use hot tools sparingly.
▪️ Use color-safe products at home.
▪️ Most recently, I've started incorporating the new @redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate line.

This new launch from Redken is exciting, as I am a big fan of the brand (I go to a Redken salon and find that their color is the best of all I've tried). The Acidic Bonding Concentrate range is specifically formulated with an acidic pH to defend against the negative effect of hair coloring, styling tools, and even water - to bring hair back into a healthy pH range. In trials, these products were shown to provide a 56% reduction of breakage, 11X smoother hair, 88% reduction of visual split ends, color fade protection, and ultimate conditioning. Say what? Sign me up! 

After the short amount of time I've used these products, I've felt that my hair feels stronger, smoother, and less brittle at the ends. I can't wait to see what prolonged use will do! #redkenpartner #redkenready #acidicbondingconcentrate
