Thank you so much. With the rising cost of living and how that is affecting my disposable income I have more and more been buying "drug store" make up. And frankly, along with the benefit of being affordable, I have actually preferred the more affordable products. I have always refused to pay large amounts for mascara because high end wasn't really much different. But I have found foundations, blushes, lip products that rival high end. Now I am moving into eye product and this video was such gift. Thank you.
Physicians Formula has gorgeous blushes, as do Essence & Wet n Wild, Milani & Flower. If you haven’t tried their powder blushes (or even cream in some), you definitely should!
Yes! I love Physicians Formula blush/bronzer/highlighters. There is ampallete on Amazon for like $15 that has 2 of each in the pallete and a pallete for each finish.
I am so happy to hear you say you are going to get back to your drugstore content... I enjoy it all and have products from most price points, but your drugstore content is my favorite, and I have really been missing it. I kind of think, everyone does high end, and you have a great eye for really great drugstore makeup. Add to that the impending (so they say) food shortages, energy shortages, and impending job losses coming this winter, we all need to tighten our belts 😳😬
These dupes are great! And the Elf bronzer looks perfect on you - the CT bronzer looks a little greyish compared to the Elf and at the $40 savings that’s a win- win!!👍🏻
You can get more use from your Elf Palette. It has 4 shades so you can mix them to make them lighter or darker. I use my lid to mix those. I hope that helps you use all of them.
Maybe my eyes aren't as fine-tuned, but I just can't see a difference in these - they both look amazing. Your comparison videos are SO helpful and make me feel really good about not getting hung up on the marketing ploy of '$$$ is better'. Another fun one, Mandy, thanks as always!
Here's your justification, Mandy: you buy the high end so you are able to show what's worth our coin and what we can skip using drugstore products instead. You save your audience so much money--and that's an incredible service you provide. Many thanks, as always.💕😘 However, what really interests me these days is the wear time. I find that's where the difference between high end and drugstore is very apparent. I would love it if you'd include wear time in these types of videos. Even revisiting previous dupe videos or showing other well-known or classic dupes (meaning they don't necessarily need to be the ones YOU'VE found) but with the wear-time twist is something very lacking in the TH-cam space. It could be a great series and something that could bring lots of new eyes to the channel! I hope you'd consider doing something like that. Much love, Mandy! ❤️❤️❤️
I like the "drugstore side" better, it is amazing how well you chose these products. You are so beautiful and talented; it is a joy to watch you. Thank you for sharing, it does make you wonder, as you said, is it really worth spending so much money on these high-end products?
I guessed high end was the right hand side, the eyeshadow is popping more than the left side. I would love an end of day check in for these types of dupe videos because things can go downhill fast with some drugstore products. Some have okay longevity but others are rubbish particularly eyeshadow palettes and foundations. That being said I use the wet n wild dewy foundation and it’s good!!
Right. I feel like I spend extra on the pricier makeup because it wears better. I work full time plus, so I need my makeup to be flawless all day with no touch ups. I don’t feel drugstore holds up like the luxury brands do.
I’m enjoying your lessons. Love the dupes! Mandy do you ever review products for cleansing and skin care? I often avoid makeup for fear of removing it!
I stopped buying drugstore blushes years ago bc they would fade away to nothing. I think that they’ve upped their game according to the reviews. I just bought an Almay blush (in the shade Nearly Nude 100) on Morgan Turner’s review and I’m so impressed!
Milani has some good ones but if you want quality blush, I'd recommend The Balm. It's an in-between brand, not high end, but definitely not cheap. I think Walgreens has it now.
Hmmm I always see drugstore products being applied with high end brushes and sponges.... If I'm not buying high end makeup I'm also not going to buy high end brushes or sponges. I mention it because when I spent some good money on brushes my makeup application (of my same products) improved so so much and nobody talks about it!
The expensive brushes are worth the investment! With some exceptions, I feel that buying the good brush (Rephr, Sonia G, BK, etc.) is better than buying the pricey blush! 🤔🤓💸❤️
I would love to see you go back to your drugstore roots. That was how I found you originally and appreciated that you were "beauty on a budget" but over the past year that changed (and my budget didn't). Please go back to more affordable makeup or at least affordable options for high end.
THANK YOU for this video. I LOVE the all over look, how you shaded your eyes and the lip color is fantastic! I’ll definitely be purchasing the foundation, blush, highlighter, eye shadows, lip pencil and lipstick! LOVE the dupes!!!
Mandy, do you use a dry or wet sponge to apply foundation? It looks dry on screen. Love your shaker knit cardigan! Amazing!! that eyeshadow dupe is outstanding...
This was good. You might use different brushes for the different eyeshadow pallets. People are weird about crossover. I bet if you added a little setting spray to your brush for the WnW shimmers it would match even more. Just found your channel and really enjoying it! 🥰
Absolutely amazing !!!! Love those excellent dupes. Can you please list also cruelty free dupes? Some of the items here are and some not and I would love to see only cruelty free dupes 🐾💜
I loved this video. But I think it would also be interesting to know how the ingredients compare. They may be dupes in terms of color and look, but what about skincare benefits and durability.
Yeah drugstore eyeshadow never has any longevity on my oily hooded eyelids, whereas I can get 8 hour wear from high end eyeshadows. I'm wondering if the drugstore side will still look as good as the high end in 4 hours' time. Would love to see a wear test!
@@geniej2378 There's only one thing that high end genuinely does better imo, and that's eyeshadow, primarily for the reason you state. I have criminally dry skin and eyelids (granted, they are somewhat hooded at this time in my life 😉)- and I notice drugstore formulas fade even on me. Maybe the high end formulas have more emollience which ironically makes them more creamy and long lasting even on oilier skin
@@geniej2378 This is a really good point, and I myself am experiencing that with my Sydney Grace shadows, they stay on for hours. Where as one of my drugstore palettes (Profusion Bare) the last several times I have used it, the shadows don't seem to last at all. So I can understand this for sure. Also SG formula is better for my mature hooded eyelids as well. But I also think they are reasonable in price too, especially if you use coupon codes and buy during the sales.
I am amazed by the eyeshadow dupe. Very impressive. I did think the Pat McGrath blush looked a tad better with your skin tone. Great video!!!! I do have to ask about your necklace, it is so pretty.
I bought the wet n wild eye palette today 😅. It’s a better formula than some of the other wnw palettes I’ve had - it feels more buttery. This created a beautiful look. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@aprilsilvers381 I need to try those. I can’t find LA Girl in any of the stores where I live, so I’d have to order online. They look so beautiful, though!
IMHO, the high end side looks a bit better than its drugstore counterpart, at least regarding concealer and eyeshadow, but similar nonetheless. Those two items were what made me guess the sides correctly at the beginning of the video. Curious about the wear results. Thanks for the video!
Yes Ma'am, I am impressed. I have used some high-end products...I was Not impressed. I think if I had not seen you apply these products I would not have known. You look so pretty.
I use the other shades in the elf palette the white one as a highlighter or to tone down something that’s too Glimmery. I also use the darker shades as a grease or outer corner or even a liner for my eyes. Sometimes I use it as a contour but I do try and use our shades and I’m a light medium in the winter and more of a medium in the summer. This summer with my gardening even with sunscreen I went almost medium tan for my arms and neck I had to really dark and up my face to match my neck and everything else
Great dupes video and lovely look, Mandy! I guessed wrong - I thought the high end side was the left side before you started talking about the priducts!😱
Of course it helps to be beautiful as You are! Thank You for the astounding discovery on drug store make up. I have been doing this all along, and no, I don't want to get really expensive make up it makes me really mad as to how much they are!!! I don't like to get screwed in prices, and now. I won't! Ever! Thank You!
Each high end product is roughly 5x the price of a drugstore one. The lip products less. The eyeshadow skewed the average! Or in other words, you can have 5x as much makeup if you buy affordable options. You can buy a LOT of setting spray and still save.
I use the elf cream bronzer palette. The one you used as bronzer. I use the medium and light as easy eyeshadow and the dark as a liner. Easy to travel with or lazy girl day
What a fabulous look you created Mandy! Just shows you that you don't need to spend a lot to look amazing! I know that on another video you had on a Flower Beauty lipstick - Naked Blush (020), which I had but I didn't own the lip gloss you used, but after searching in my collection I found the perfect match with NYX butter gloss in the the shade Tres Leches! just shows what you can find when you look LOL :) Love these videos! and hello from Australia!
I’ve used that Elf contour palette for years and like it just as much as any other cream bronzer products I’ve tried (not many actually because I am satisfied with what I have). For me the money drain comes from buying way way too much stuff. I don’t buy much luxury makeup; I can’t stand to spend that much money. Your makeup is gorgeous on both sides!
High end makeup products are an indulgence. Sometimes the only benefit of using them is the experience of their application. If applying makeup is a calming sensory experience, as it is for some of us, those products can be worth it. But most days when I just want to get out the door looking cute, I am always reaching for my drug store makeup because nobody else can tell the difference.
I agree with you - some days I enjoy pampering myself with my luxury products. I also think many times the packaging is better too. I can’t tell you home many drugstore lipsticks got ruined and also ruined my pockets and purses because the tops came off. So frustrating!!!
I agree with you as well. There is something to be said about the appeal of gorgeous packaging: the weight, the embossing, the beautiful aesthetic of seeing it on your vanity. These sensorial things all contribute to the ritual of makeup as artistry or even as self-care. Sometimes it's worth the extra expense for the joy of the experience. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mandy! You've sold me on the Wet & Wild foundation & the Revlon lipstick. The lipstick looks fabulous on you & I hope for good results on me too. I'm impressed with your knowledge & skill. I'm a former Elite model who never learned how to do makeup & so don't understand how to do eyeshadows, bronzer, highlighters, brow stuff, blush. I loved watching this video! 👍 💜
I went from using benefit to the wow brow and I like the wow brow color better! Works just as well, holds up just as well. The wet and wild pallete is one I was just looking at, but thought I wouldn't be able to pull the shades off but you use very similar shades or the same as me for all your male up. It's hard when you are super fair, just like when you are super dark skinned.
I’m with you. In recent years I’ve gotten sucked into the higher end products, but I’m done. Drugstore has so many great products, there is no reason to pay for marketing and packaging!
@@Mrstriplejranch I used to buy mostly high end in my 20s because at that time I felt like it was truly superior to drugstore makeup. These days you can find makeup that is just as good, even better at times than high end. And now you can return/exchange anything if it doesn't work for you.
I'm watching you for the first time! I love my Charlotte Tilbury lipstick, but I'm sold on elf! Over the last year, I've tried so many elf products and colors - and it's so easy due to the cost. I've purchased on the elf website during 2 different 60% off sales and the products are $2 and $3 dollars! I've found a few duds for me, but I'll pitch them and try again for the price.
I'm definitely an Elf convert. I read good things about their setting spray when I was planning my wedding makeup and from there I've just expanded to other things from tinted lip balms to concealer. I'm about 40% Elf, 40% Vichy, 10% Revolution.
Thank you so much. With the rising cost of living and how that is affecting my disposable income I have more and more been buying "drug store" make up. And frankly, along with the benefit of being affordable, I have actually preferred the more affordable products. I have always refused to pay large amounts for mascara because high end wasn't really much different. But I have found foundations, blushes, lip products that rival high end. Now I am moving into eye product and this video was such gift. Thank you.
I would love a wear test to compare the two versions. I’m very curious to how they each hold up.
You have me at dupes
Same Shelley
She had me at CHEAP! 😂
Affordable product videos really are my FAVORITES! Great video!
Physicians Formula has gorgeous blushes, as do Essence & Wet n Wild, Milani & Flower. If you haven’t tried their powder blushes (or even cream in some), you definitely should!

Coppers and orangey tones always make your eyes pop! They seem to shift from green to gray-blue when you use those shades.
Here's your justification, Mandy: you buy the high end so you are able to show what's worth our coin and what we can skip using drugstore products instead. You save your audience so much money--and that's an incredible service you provide. Many thanks, as always.💕😘

These videos will NEVER get old! Aside from indie eyeshadows, I have no idea why I buy high end makeup 😂
Because they have pretty packaging 😂

@@jt9058 especially eyeshadow
I guessed the opposite. I actually hate PM shimmers. They are horrible when it comes to fall out, probably some of the worst, and I have tons
@@aprilsilvers381 I don’t use PM eyeshadows at all so I personally have no experience of how they perform. I’m a Natasha Denona loyalist 😂
This has to be my favorite video-and I love all your content! These dupes are amazing-you always look gorgeous!
I’m enjoying your lessons. Love the dupes! Mandy do you ever review products for cleansing and skin care? I often avoid makeup for fear of removing it!
Love this! Mandy you are gorgeous, even without makeup. I do love your videos. Thank you for what you do.
Stunning! Yes to more drugstore videos!
Yes, more drugstore! You have great dupes. But you started out with drugstore and I miss those videos! Wake Up Call Mandy💕
Wow, I cannot see any difference, great comparison :) I love the elf palette, because i can use it around the year.
Great Video 🤩
So, both sides start out looking very similar, but how did each side wear? What were your thoughts after wearing all day? Thanks
I adore all the Elf Cream cheek products. Have you tried the cream blush palette? That is also outstanding.
I stopped buying drugstore blushes years ago bc they would fade away to nothing. I think that they’ve upped their game according to the reviews. I just bought an Almay blush (in the shade Nearly Nude 100) on Morgan Turner’s review and I’m so impressed!

Maybe you need a better eyeshadow primer! Worked wonders for me!
Milani has some amazing blushes
Wow I chose the drugstore side at the beginning. I was so excited to see products that I already owned 😃 Great video Mandy❤️✌🏼
I love that you use your finger for some of the eyeshadow application..I do too. Thanks for a great vid.
WOW!!!!!!!! You did this GURL!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!
I just love dupe videos as I’m a budget watcher right now! You look stunning as always!
Thank you so much! Love the options!!!
Wow wow "oops you did it again" and the the look you created is beautiful ❤️ I love these dupe videos. Thanks so much for sharing 💘😊.
I really enjoyed this! You show techniques and you are so generous with your comparisons!
Can’t tell but yeah this an amazing video!!
Absolutely gorgeous fall look!
You look flawless as always 😍
Love the video and I can’t tell any difference at all!!!
That price difference was really shocking! Thank you so much for showing that I’m not missing out by not getting high end.
Amazing video!!! Would love a drugstore makeup brushes one ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes please
Wet and wild brushes are pretty great for grug store, the face brushes especially.
I love your channel! Especially drugstore content 🙂
Beautiful look, amazing dupes!!!😊

I never have very much luck with the wet and wild eyeshadows. It could be because of my crepey eyes. I pat on my shadows instead of sweeping.
Love this video Mandy! And wow! What a price difference!
Your face looks identical on both sides! Great job! Especially impressed with the eye shadow!!
Drugstore all the way. Thanks
I actually think the Elf bronzer looks better on you, imo. Great video!!
Absolutely amazing !!!! Love those excellent dupes. Can you please list also cruelty free dupes? Some of the items here are and some not and I would love to see only cruelty free dupes 🐾💜

New subscriber today! TH-cam suggested your channel! I LOVED this video and will be binge watching your channel this afternoon.
Awesome!!!!!! I have thought about buying that pallette, but now I DEFINITELY will!
Wow thanks for this, & using more neutral/not too colorful eyes. Also I’ve never seen the clear wax for eyebrows & will try that!🎉
Amazing that there is no major difference,,,,,, drug store just st as good if not better 🥰🧡🙋🏻♀️

Brilliant Mandy x
I actually love the drugstore side so much better
Wet n wild surprises me every time! (and gahhh I've just ordered the Midnight Sun! But in my defense, it was on sale)
Revlon makes my favorite lip products!!! They beat high end (on my lips) every time. Loreal is next :)
Hi Mandy, I loved this video. I also love the necklace you are wearing, so would you be willing to share where you got it from?
I have a lipstick dupe- Mac lipstick In Modesty = Maybelline in Rosey Risk. Colors look the same to me and the Maybelline stays on longer.
Loving the dupes! Have you ever thought of going for a fully cruelty free makeup collection ?
Great video…that price difference is crazy!
Love this video. Please do more like it.
YesStyle has Juicy Pang blushes for less than $6 right now!
Stylevana had them pretty cheap too!❤️❤️❤️
Such a fun video! Thank you!
Hi Mandy!
You've sold me on the Wet & Wild foundation & the Revlon lipstick.
The lipstick looks fabulous on you & I hope for good results on me too.
I'm impressed with your knowledge & skill. I'm a former Elite model who never learned how to do makeup & so don't understand how to do eyeshadows, bronzer, highlighters, brow stuff, blush.
I loved watching this video! 👍 💜
The video that made me want to subscribe! Wow! The dupe side is definitely impressive and for the price, much preferred! Just beautiful job! 🎃
wow! You truly have proven that you don't have to break the bank to look gorgeous. Thanks Mandy!
I went from using benefit to the wow brow and I like the wow brow color better! Works just as well, holds up just as well.
The wet and wild pallete is one I was just looking at, but thought I wouldn't be able to pull the shades off but you use very similar shades or the same as me for all your male up. It's hard when you are super fair, just like when you are super dark skinned.

What skin care products do you use?
That price difference is insane! It's one of the reasons I will always buy drugstore!
I’m with you. In recent years I’ve gotten sucked into the higher end products, but I’m done. Drugstore has so many great products, there is no reason to pay for marketing and packaging!
Me too! Cheers! 🎉🥂🍂
