CHEAP DRUGSTORE DUPES FOR HIGH-END MAKEUP! PART 2!

Hey Everyone and welcome back to my blog! I hope you all are doing great! So who’s ready for another tried and tested dupe list??? I know Everyone is!
Most of you know where I’m going at with this post, but most of you who are new to the blog, have no clue! So for all those people I’ll put in a small intro, this post is actually a continuation of a series that I’ve started on my blog where I post a list consisting of two or three High-end Makeup products, and their Drugstore Dupes that I’ve tried and tested!
This is the second part or the second list, I’ll link the first one here, in case you missed it 🙂 So let’s just begin!

REAL PRODUCT!

MAKEUP FOREVER STEP 1 NOURISHING PRIMER!

This is an excellent primer for those of you who have dry skin. I have combination skin, so I did not buy the full size, instead I used those small sample or deluxe sizes you get. The thing is that my skin tends to get a little dry between my eyebrows, and the bridge of my nose during winter, so it’s better to have a nice hydrating primer on hand. This one is excellent for the job, but it’s so goddamn expensive! It retails for $37 and for someone like me, who would just use this stuff occasionally, I feel like it’s a waste of hard earned money! As the thing would expire after a while and I won’t even use it all up, I mean with the duration I would use it for, 2/3 of it’ll go to waste! So I had to find something that’s lighter on the pocket and did the magic! Fortunately I did!

DUPE!

MILANI PRIME PERFECTION HYDRATING+PORE-MINIMIZING FACE PRIMER!

Now this is the Mufe Nourishing primer packaged in a different tube! Seriously guys! It amazes me how something that’s like so affordable, but it still is the exact same thing! This did the job as well as the Mufe one did, and is super affordable retailing at $9.99. So even if it expires, I won’t be pulling my hair out thinking of all the money I wasted!

REAL PRODUCT!

LANCOME CILS BOOSTER XL SUPER ENHANCING MASCARA BASE!

This is such a splurge, again I would never spend so much on a mascara base, but this product actually enhances your lashes so much, that it’ll seem like you have falsies on! But it actually took me a while looking for a drugstore product that is actually this good!  Again the price tag is not skyrocketing on this one, it’s just $25.50, and it actually is worth every cent! But spending this much on mascara base seems somewhat unjust!

DUPE!

WET N WILD PHOTO FOCUS LASH PRIMER!

Now I saw this on a youtube video, and the vlogger literally raved about this being the exact dupe for the Lancome one. So I thought I’d give it a try. I won’t lie, I was a little skeptical considering the price tag which was just $4.99, but after giving it a go, this is actually as good as the Lancome one, and has been my go to mascara base! This product is hands down the best and most affordable dupe for Cils Booster and trust me once you try it out you will never go back to the real deal!

REAL PRODUCT!

OFRA ILLUMINATING BLUSH STRIPES!

Now I’m always looking for blushes that have some illuminating effect so that I get a subtle, not so blinding highlight, for days when I want to keep my makeup soft and not too dramatic. This is like an affordable version for the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks, but i still is quite pricey. It retails for $35. Now this product is great! I mean it has pigment, it is soft and buttery, and the formulation is amazing! But why spend 35 bucks when you can get the exact same thing for 1/7 of the price! And its not just the price, it gets excitingly better!

DUPE!

WET N WILD MEGAGLO ILLUMINATING PALETTE!

Yes the exact formula, the exact shade, and retaining for just $4.99! But it doesn’t stop just there! The Wet n Wild ones are twice in size when compared to Ofra! So you get almost near to double the quantity and save $30! This is something you have to have in your makeup collection!

PAKISTAN’S FIRST EVER BEAUTY SUBSCRIPTION BOX!

What’s up all the beautiful ladies? Welcome back to my blog! Sorry I’ve been really busy lately, so it’s just a disclaimer, that I may not be able to post here regularly, but I promise that I’ll try and post something for you people every chance I get! I started hoarding makeup a while ago, and you know what actually helped me out the most to build up my makeup collection? Beauty Subscription Boxes! Now most of you may not know what beauty boxes or beauty subscriptions really are, so let me clear the air out first. Beauty subscriptions are basically a service that you subscribe to monthly, for a minimal amount, and every month you are sent a box full of 4 to 5 beauty products, that retail for way more than you actually pay for them. So being honest it’s a pretty neat deal. I have been in love with the concept, and therefore I tried out each and every subscription box out there, from Boxycharm, to Ipsy, to Birchbox, hell I even tried a Korean Beauty box! The ...

Life Update! I Got Nikkahfied! Detailed Post!!!

Hey Everyone Welcome Back To My Blog!! I know my regular readers are asking me every now and then where have I been in the past couple of weeks, and also why am I so MIA on the blog. Well the reason is stated in the title! I got Nikkahfied on 16th April, 2017, and this is the main reason for me being not active on the blog! So the preps actually started in late January, I wanted a dress that spoke to me, so I wanted to be sure that I am choosing something that I have always imagined myself wearing on my big day. Although I will be having a proper wedding in future, so I wanted to keep it as minimalist as possible, and also chic at the same time. I did not want a total bridal vibe, but simultaneously, I wanted something that made me stand out of the crowd. So I bought an embellished fabric from Rabi Centre, that's located in Bahria Town Phase 7, and I wanted it to be stitched as a floor length Maxi dress. The tailor however did not follow my instructions, and made a floor le...

MAKEUP 101! KNOW YOUR UNDERTONE!

First of I’m really sorry that i haven’t been posting anything the past week. Well that was because of the Eid Holidays, so I thought I’d give myself a break too! But I’m back now and the first thing that I wanted to do was to help you guys out. Now ever since I posted my first blog about  Choosing the right foundation , my inbox has been flooded with requests to write a post about Undertones. People always have difficulty, or at times don’t have the slightest idea about what the term “Undertone” is referring to, let alone what their undertone is. So to start off, what exactly is the Undertone? Well the undertone is the color underneath the surface of your skin. So to describe it as easily and as simply as I can, I would say that the undertone is the shade that is reflected from your skin when you are in broad daylight. WHAT IS AN UNDERTONE? To give you a simple idea, just try this little experiment, wear a white top, tie your hair back, open up a window so that you a...
