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!

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! BUILDING YOUR BASIC MAKEUP KIT!

Hey Everyone Welcome Back To My Blog! Now when I started doing my own makeup, I remember there was no youtube or blogs that helped me get started! So I was totally clueless as to what I should or should not do. I bought tons of lipsticks, and eyeshadows, and I thought I was good to go. Trust me when I first started off, I had no idea about what a foundation is and even when I knew that it is the base of all the makeup, I thought it was something that you shouldn’t put on every time you do your makeup, I thought it was supposed to be for a special occasion! So I had to struggle a lot when I first started doing my makeup! That’s why I’m writing this post to help out all the beginners out there as to what they need for a basic starter makeup kit! This can also be used as an everyday makeup look kit which you can put together and use everyday for when you don’t want to go full glam! So let’s get started! BE SMART! So the first thing anyone who is new to makeup would and should do
