After watching the two videos about the Wet and Wild dewy foundation I had to try it and I was SHOCKED!!! I am in love with it! It goes on so easy and feels like you aren't wearing anything! I got more compliments ON MY SKIN today than I ever do! They weren't saying "your makeup looks beautiful". They were saying "your skin looks beautiful" It wore beautifully for a 12 hour day. I didn't need to retouch ANYTHING. Never got cakey or settled in any lines. I love it over all my other foundations in my collection (Laura Mercier, Anastasia, IT CC cream, Makeup Forever, Tarte, Fenty, Urban Decay, Haus labs) I am shooketh!!! And I love it. Will be wearing it every day!!!!
I come here to say that the Elf O face lipstick in the shade “Dirty Talk” is a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow talk origina lipstick! Even in formula (in my opinion)
I love how you set up the comparison of the product with the prices on the screen, I like being able to take a screenshot to remember something I want to check out.
FYI -- The Tarte lip product has almost twice as much as the Flower lip product (0.095 oz vs 0.05 oz, respectively). The Flower Beauty isn't a "deal", so it's really just your preference. A lot of the time you can get either product on sale, too. Just wanted to let people know!
Sometimes it happens with products. Fenty gloss is almost 10ml and the drugstore ones here in Brazil are 3ml, fenty is more than 3 times the amount, sometimes depending on the brand, worths buying the high end.
I didn’t even think about this!! It was hard to tell from the video since the two packagings looked like they were similar sizes so I appreciate you mentioning it
I appreciate this! I’ve been eying the flower beauty since I love the one from tarte. Hadn’t done enough research yet into oz of product, but that’s always something I like to check. Thank you!!
I totally look out for that stuff too. It also depends if you are going to use up the products too. Even then if I only used up half of the more expensive products, but I felt fabulous wearing it, it's not really wasting money.
You are AMAZING! I literally just went and bought the Sephora foundation and it is THE BEST and was only $20! Thats the cheapest foundation I have ever bought and it is my absolute favorite. Even better than the Armani and the IL Makiage! I just subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to watch all your dupe videos! Thank you soooooooo much! 😘
I would absolutely love it if you ALWAYS listed the color/shade of the products you talk about in your videos down in the description box. It'd be so helpful!! 😁 Been watching you since 2013/2014 and I trust your recommendations and I just adore you and your family! Keep it up! ❤️
I retired early, so I had to stop buying a lot of high end products. I can honestly say that I cannot tell a difference in the way my makeup looks at all! And, it is videos like this one that have helped me find the best affordable products!! (My collection is now mostly recommendations from you and Taylor!!)❤
Same, we retired early so we could enjoy our kids and help when and if we get grandkids and we have definitely had to rethink purchases in this crap economy. Thank goodness we raise our own chickens, even eggs are expensive in some places
I retired early but my focus has been what I spend my time on. I found that during the pandemic, makeup was a lot less important. I went from a Sephora Rouge person to thinking, isn't that dumb, to comparing the products to comparables and not really wearing makeup on a daily basis, combining my appointments to one day with the attempt of only going out once every two or three weeks, and during the summer, I block off 3 months with zero appointments. No kids. Spending time on what's important. Why retire early if you have to scrimp?
@@SirenaSpades I had to retire early due to life threatening health issues. I must take medication that suppressed my immune system, so I have been house bound since the pandemic (I am not a candidate for the vaccine.) So, my focus is my husband and family, including our five beautiful grandchildren. I also rarely wear makeup. My skin is healthier! I love spending my money on my kids and grandchildren so much more than overpriced makeup!!
@@stacyketner I wish we could have chickens, but I can’t take care of them due to my health issues. Our children have them!! I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to have grandchildren!! You will love it!! I feel like my heart has grown three sizes. With five grands, we spend our money on them. My youngest child also had a stroke at 22, and I spent a year helping him recover and learn to walk again. So we value time together and making memories!
@Patti 1962 our kids are older teens still living at home, our oldest and her boyfriend are working on putting back money for a house so they switch off and stay with us some days and other days stay with his parents, they don't know if they want children yet but they want to wait and discuss that after they are married, and then we have one in high school doing virtual school, he's dyslexic and has a hard time in public school , I haven't worked much in the last ten years because of autoimmune issues myself and when my husband retired from the Army he decided he didn't really like when I was gone to work when I could physically manage a full week. So we've been retired for about two years. I love being home and helping our kids and being able to help our extended family out.
*Thank you* so much for the great detail you go into when describing the products and how they compare to each other. I don’t think I have seen another influencer be so thorough and helpful when comparing dupes. 🥰💖
I own the elf hydration face cream with spf 30 and the new elf Whoa glow and they have the same exact ingredients. The only difference is the Whoa glow has a tint to it, but it’s less ounces and cost a dollar more than the face cream💜
@@mannysgeek9740 yes that’s the one! I put it on one day after trying the Whoa glow the day before and realized it gives off the same glow. I looked at the ingredients on both packages and they’re identical. I know some people don’t like dipping their fingers into products, but I like the blue jar better for that reason because I can control how much I get and put on. The Whoa glow sometimes comes out so fast I get way too much product and you can’t really put it back in the packaging😅
@@mannysgeek9740 Both bottles list “ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: AVOBENZONE 3.0%, HOMOSALATE 9.0%, OCTISALATE 5.0%, OCTOCRYLENE 7.0%” for reference. The website lists Squalane for Whoa glow and not for the Holy Hydration spf though🤷🏻♀️
Ok I’m saving this video for life as my constant reference I haven’t watched any makeup dupe videos for forever and I just watched the best one!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH HUN!!!😆💖✨🙏
Always thought of roller skates not a hair roller, too funny. Sending you and your fam all the positive thoughts and prayers during this time of grief. Grief depression is the heaviest thing I've had to carry and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Perfect video for Valentine's day, cuz I love dupes and even more dupes in groups!!
Thank you so much for your review I actually got my hands on the color pop had to touch when they were having a sale!! I got that one and a few other ones that are just so gorgeous. I appreciate your reviews and I think a few videos back you discussed how this was your job and that you know people didn’t have money to run out and get every single thing you were talking about. You explained that this was your job and it would be abnormal for someone to go out and purchase all the things that you purchase. I wanted to thank you for posting this because I know even for myself it can be very easy to get sucked into the latest and greatest new make up. There is just too much of it for any person no matter how much money you have to keep up with. Myself I got a little carried away and had to bring it back down to reality and realize that no one can keep up!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HOURGLASS blush bronzer powder and especially the highlighters OH MY LORD ITS GORGEOUS!!!!!! The jellyfish ( and leopard lol )pallet is the best thing I bought all year!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Ty Jessica for such an informative video. I can’t wait to try the Essence blush. One thing to note maybe to your viewers is Hourglass blushes and bronzers(I used both) are Talc free. I’m deathly allergic to Talc and that’s why I always turn to Hourglass products. BUT, the Essence baked blush is Talc Free too!!!!!!! Yeyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!👍😊👍😊👍😊
Cruelty free …do you own an iPhone or own any elf products? Anything made in China? Slave labor made all of these….funny how we care about “cruelty free” while we post about it on our slave made iPhones while wearing our clothes from Walmart and any makeup made in China….
@@elizabethhasslerI totally get this. I actually try and say free of animal testing, because I’m aware that it certainly isn’t free of all cruelties. I really do try to be cognizant of where I purchase things, because I know animal testing is just one piece of a really big puzzle. I am not perfect,
I just wanted to say thanks, in one of your videos you mentioned how good the missha BB cream was and it has become almost the only thing I use for my base. I'm 67 and it doesn't sit in lines. Love it
I'm on a budget these days and am ALL about the dupes. I found out about a lot of these from Jen Phelps but I was also excited to see your take on them too because I usually like to get a few opinions on dupes. Ya know, sometimes people have different viewpoints or skin types or whatever. But you both came to the same conclusions about these so I'm planning my purchases now, specifically the Elf O Face Lipsticks, Lash & Roll mascara, the Suntouchable primer and the Flower Lip Gloss sticks.
I don’t usually like a lot of Elf makeup but you absolutely sold me on those lipsticks as I love NARS lipsticks. Your recommendations always work out for me
Those elf lipsticks are almost identical to the Maybelline Superstay Lip Crayons, but maybe even a little dryer. It honestly wasn't what I expected. It's very matte... comfortable enough but with winter lips I was hoping for a little more moisture.
@NO yeah, I like them as well. I will probably appreciate the formula more when it warms up and it's not so dry. I somehow had the impression these were more of a satin finish, so that's on me. If you love the ink crayons, you'll love the elf as well.
So glad you told us what lipstick you're wearing in this video, your lipstick looks lovely. I've been looking for a kind of rust red colour. I will have to have a look for this Elf lipstick 😁
I grabbed the milani contour wand ♡ I grabbed one for my daughter for Valentine's Day also I'm putting together cute little bags. You are not alone girl I also thought roller skating. You just taught me that today.
The revolution one does dry down really well and blends beautifully! Just be careful when setting it and try setting with a powder bronzer and patting it on rather than a translucent powder that has a little pigment because it can sometimes make it muddy if the powder has any colour to it.
I have been w u since u were jam beauty & I really think this may have been my favorite dupe video yet !! I appreciate that you give props to the product no matter if they're in the higher or lower end of the scale. I have saved a lot of $ thanks to these videos. So....thank you & keep them coming !! I'll be here waiting for more !
6:56 🤣🤣🤣 you're so cute, I like that you give us a sneak peek to your mind lol, it's so fun. I have never held that mascara tube in my hand but have seen it on social media everywhere and I didn't know it stood for "hair roller" either, I thought it was a catchy name, I kept wondering what it was but never went as far as roller skating 😂😂😂 you're hilarious ❤
I’m obsessed with Essence across the board - I own literally every lip product they make & I worship them. Of course we know Lash Princess is QUEEN, but those blushes both remind me of Luminoso! Does anyone know if they’ve been compared to each other?! I mean for $6 I’ll probably get it anyways in a different color lol but curious, bc I own & *LOVE* Luminoso - it’s my year round go-to
Good for you 🥰 Unfortunately, once these products go viral, they're impossible to find anymore for many of us. I've used ( and loved ) Essence foundations, mascaras, blushes, lipsticks & glosses since 2010. They're constantly out of stock everywhere now! I live in a small town too, where they don't sell ELF, Milani and Revlon so that doesn't help 😢
OMG!! HOURGLASS!! YES!! So there are very few high end products that I've repurchased (two to be precise - KVD tattoo liner and Hourglass ambient blush). I like to try new things but also like to save so I tend to use more drugstore than high end. A few years back I tried a mini of the Hourglass glass ambient blush in mood exposure and LOVED it! I've repurchased the full size twice during the sephora sales but it still painfully expensive. A few weeks ago I saw one of your videos where you talked about the new essence blushes and showed the goldy cassis one. I am a big mauve/berry blush girl so I added that to my cart. As soon as I saw it in person I thought oh man this looks like the Hourglass one!!! It is SOOOO CLOSE!!! I think the Hourglass glow is a bit better but they are so close and for the insane price difference I already added another essence to my cart so I have a backup in case they get discontinued. Such a great blush for such a great price! Love these videos! Stay well :)
The hot to touch colourpop blush is one of the best and it surprisingly lasts. i got it as the blush/highlighter duo so i mix the two sometimes to get a blushy/glowy look 🥰
Your excitement is contagious! ❤Gotta try the elf lipsticks, for sure, and the Essence baked blushes. (I love the Milani baked blushes though, so it's it's going to be a big hurdle for Essence.) Never had any luck with Hour Glass either--sometimes application on cheeks from the same package look different because of the swirled product. Annoyingly gimmicky. So thanks for the dupes!! Happy Valentine's Day! 💝
Love your content, long time follower- from when you were a teacher and pre kiddos!! Could you do an updated video of cream/liquid favs? I found an older video and am patiently waiting for my ulta order to try out what you recommend. 💜
i would recommend trying the revolution eye bright illuminating concealer (i’m pretty fair and use shade deep caramel) as a CT contour wand dupe! i haven’t tried the CT one, but i really like my revolution one and find it very easy to blend
Groupa dupa! I’ve honestly had better luck at the drugstore lately. Drugstore makeup is so much better than when I first started wearing makeup in the 70’s. My mom wore only Estée Lauder and it worked for her. I started with Covergirl and Coty and now like L’Oreal, products, but wish they were cruelty free so tend to look for other options.
The Armani foundation is my favourite foundation ever. I bought it for my wedding day and omg the lasting power and the finish is perfect for my dry skin. Also the shade match on my very fair skin is so perfect. I’m intrigued that the Sephora one might be similar.
I'm curious, too. The Armani is my everyday go-to and holds up well for my 10 hour work days. It still comes off on masks, but not terribly so and it wears off in a way that doesn't look bad at all.
Omg I’ve been saying for years how that essence pure light highlighter is a dupe for the hour glass ambient powder it would make sense that they just add pink pigment to their highlighter formula and you get an instant dupe for the hourglass blushes
I love the hour glass blushes. I use a large fluffy powder brush, and just use it to blow out my blush. Clear up the temple, the edge of the brow, and slightly under the eye.
We love you, too! I think I’ve been following for almost the whole time. You also live in my city and I met you one time at “A store by you called Meijer”😅 during a really hard time in my life and you were so sweet and genuine and it meant a lot. You have my support for as long as you are creating content! ❤🎉😊
I think my favorite dupe I found on my own at least I feel like it’s a dupe is the Maybelline master strobing stick in 100 light/iridescent for the Fenty Matchstix in the shade Starstruck. I bought the Fenty one for years because it was my favorite highlighter on my skin but I was curious if there was something drugstore brand I could find instead and I found the Maybelline one. I love the Maybelline one and I don’t think I even own the Fenty one anymore
Great video Jessica! I think my fave dupe was the Elf/Nars lipsticks. Wow! I'm just blown away! I've never tried Elf's lipsticks yet but after seeing this I'm definitely going to try them now! I hate spending a fortune for makeup..ugh..although sometimes I have if it's something I really want. Too Faced or Smashbox, whatever it be. Oh, also the Elf/Roller Lash mascara I liked! I have Roller Lash right now and I'm going to buy the Elf Lash Roll and try it. I'm always on the hunt for a good dupe! Your vids help me find them! Thanks so much! ❤
LOVE this video. You do “dupes groups” so well! My favorite dupe from this video has to be the NARS/ELF lipstick. I will be checking out those ELF lip pies post haste!! I’m like…magnetic packaging for $9 🥳
I’ve been watching your videos on and off for years, no rhyme or reason why I don’t watch lol, I just go in spurts with You Tubers for some reason. But anyways it just occurred to me that you are the Queen if Dupes! If someone asked me if there is a dupe for something, you’re the first one I would think of!! I’ve been obsessed with some of your dupes and still love them.
Jessica. I’ve seen that color pop body bronzer is a dupe for the Nars!!! I haven’t tried them yet, but it’s on my list!! I love your videos. You are so honest and I feel I can trust your reviews/dupes!!! You are AHMAZING!!
The Essence Pure Nude highlighter is a dupe for the Ambient Light setting powder too Lisa J did a short on it! You CANNOT DUPE ROSY GLOW! Dior nailed it! Something happens with the Dior blush, the shade in the palette doesn't transfer that pink, it really turns Rosy on the cheeks! There's something special about it and the Coral one is like that too! It's the formula!
I think the Sol Body Bronzing Balm is closer to the Nars. I'm not one to keep backups, but I definitely have a backup of the Sol one because it's that good!
Wow 10 years!! Congratulations 🎈🎉 I am subscribed so glad I found u again!!! Ur so insightful! Gonna watch more videos! Target haul! Yes please! N please 🙏 lmk about the lighting for my beautiful room! Not as nice as urs! Thanks for the inspiration! Truly
For the tarte maracuja juicy lip plumping balm, I think wet n wild's rose comforting lip color in the shade biscotti mommy could be a closer dupe to it in look and feel on the lips (in terms of the shade and formula, minus the cooling sensation you'll get with the tarte one). It's also $5.29, so you end up saving $18 more than you would with the flower one. Thanks to Ms Emily Noel for mentioning the wet n wild lip color in her drugstore newness video (planning on getting the pecan glaze shade she tried on the video, which is a pretty browny nude shade for me😊).
Sephora Lipstories cream formula is not only a formula dupe for the audacious, but also many color dupes. If you haven't tried them, you should. The packaging is much cuter and recyclable too. Also, Covergirl Clump Crusher in green dupes Benefit Rollerlash.
Wow,thanks for sharing these dupes. I’m excited about the e.l.f. dupes because I’m changing all my makeup to cruelty-free only and I used to love NARS Audacious lipsticks, but no mas.
I picked up one of those elf lipsticks the other day at target and it really is crazy how similar it is to the nars! Now I need the elf sunscreen lol!!
Hey there, Jess!! You look soooo beautiful, as always!! I hope you're all doing well. I love ALL of the dupes! There are definitely a ton of them right now. Fantastic products for fabulous prices, I am totally down for that!! 😆 I can't even pick a fave, they're all so good! Thanks for all of the hard work, that you put into all of your videos and vlogs!! You're the best!! Take care! ❤️
The Ulta Brand Ultra Slim Brow Pencil is a good dupe for the Benefit Precisely, My Brow, and the Chapstick Total Hydration Tinted Lip Balms are a slightly more moisturizing dupe for the Glossier Generation G lipsticks!
Love all ur videos but ur dupe videos are so awesome and spot on! 😊💕 Happy Valentines Day 💝 Hope ur day is full of love! Always wanted to try the Armani but not in my budget so definitely excited to try the Sephora 😊😊
I got the Elf glow sunscreen due to your recondition in another video and I love it. I Def am going to try that sephora foundation next. ♡♡ love these videos.
Jessica your makeup is STUNNNNING today. So pretty and naturally glowy. Love your channel....I watch u faithfully but I do nt usually post had to today. U look amazing. Xoxo dana from pa
I want to get my hands on that blush from Colourpop. Hopefully, they bring it back. I am also excited about the ELF sunscreen and the lipstick. This is why I am an icon member of ELF.
my youtube suggestions made me discover your channel and i have to say im glad it did. I loved your giggles and your laugh and even if i live in europe so many of those products are hard to find here (like they dont sell flower beauty here) i still enjoy your videos cuz of your personality. New subscriber! Thank you and have a good day ^^
I recommend the trader joe's spf and elf hydrating cream with spf in the blue container. It hydrates while also protecting and giving you a slight glow
I try to avoid purchasing makeup that is made in China and unfortunately, the elf products I’ve seen are made there. I know many of the products we purchase are made in China, but this is my attempt to make a tiny difference. In the end, that is likely why those products are so much cheaper. It’s a me thing…but I love that you show these options! Great for all consumers to know their choices!
Unfortunately China is taking over and not much is made in the usa anymore. If it is it’s usually one ingredient or the packaging or something minute. Slave labor has taken precedence sadly…
I just placed my order to try the Elf lipsticks. If you buy from their website, there are more shades than what Ulta offers! (I think there are 10 more, 20 total)
I think the best dupe for the Giorgio Armani is the Loreal true match nude Hyaluronic Serum foundation. It is incredible and I am an older woman who used the Armani for years. The downside is the color selection (at least where I am) and Loreal is not cruelty free so I'll be heading back to Armani ;)
I bought the elf sunscreen from your recommendation and also enjoy it more!! I feel like it kinda gives a bit more coverage too. I’ve been wearing it by itself and have been loving it! ❤
Based on a video you recently posted I bought the elf lipstick and the mascara, the pink flat sided makeup sponge, the makeup revolution under eye primer and the essence baked blush.
Another GREAT Dior blush dupe is Covergirl Cheekers blush in Candy Pink. I saw another influencer mention it months ago and then just saw Kelly Strack mention it again recently. You have to build it up a little more than the Dior but it gets you there and is such an affordable option! Also, ❤️ you!
Kokie Pinken trio blush and highlight trio palette and Revlon Wild about Violet blush too. Physicians Formula mosaic blush in pink along with Essence. There are a lot that look exactly like Dior’s on the skin

I come here to say that the Elf O face lipstick in the shade “Dirty Talk” is a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow talk origina lipstick! Even in formula (in my opinion)
The elf o face lipstick shade in “dirty talk” is literally my favorite lipstick atm
I’m just so stunned by that name…. They really are trying dupe Nars, in their naming as well 😂
@@lbridge2010 haha I know, though I will have to admit that I didn’t get it at the beginning. It took me like a month to understand the innuendo haha
Thank you!
Yesssss I couldn’t put my finger on it.
1:05 elf spf > supergoof spf
2:51 sephora foundation > armani foundation
4:48 milani contour > charlotte tilbury contour

@@Blanca85 in past videos she has said that the shade is number 1. The lightest one. Hope this helps.
Yes! Especially since i have the exact same skin color and your makeup shade fit me 100 %!

Haha me too on the roller skates and made no sense to me whatsoever, like, what do roller skates have to do with lashes? lol
I always thought it was skates too!
Thank you so much for your review I actually got my hands on the color pop had to touch when they were having a sale!! I got that one and a few other ones that are just so gorgeous. I appreciate your reviews and I think a few videos back you discussed how this was your job and that you know people didn’t have money to run out and get every single thing you were talking about. You explained that this was your job and it would be abnormal for someone to go out and purchase all the things that you purchase. I wanted to thank you for posting this because I know even for myself it can be very easy to get sucked into the latest and greatest new make up. There is just too much of it for any person no matter how much money you have to keep up with. Myself I got a little carried away and had to bring it back down to reality and realize that no one can keep up!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HOURGLASS blush bronzer powder and especially the highlighters OH MY LORD ITS GORGEOUS!!!!!! The jellyfish ( and leopard lol )pallet is the best thing I bought all year!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Ty Jessica for such an informative video. I can’t wait to try the Essence blush. One thing to note maybe to your viewers is Hourglass blushes and bronzers(I used both) are Talc free. I’m deathly allergic to Talc and that’s why I always turn to Hourglass products. BUT, the Essence baked blush is Talc Free too!!!!!!! Yeyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!👍😊👍😊👍😊
I love to see dupes for Benefit & Dior, because they aren’t cruelty free. ❤️
100🎉🎉🎉
The nars ones as well!
Cruelty free …do you own an iPhone or own any elf products? Anything made in China? Slave labor made all of these….funny how we care about “cruelty free” while we post about it on our slave made iPhones while wearing our clothes from Walmart and any makeup made in China….
@@elizabethhasslerI totally get this. I actually try and say free of animal testing, because I’m aware that it certainly isn’t free of all cruelties. I really do try to be cognizant of where I purchase things, because I know animal testing is just one piece of a really big puzzle. I am not perfect,
I just wanted to say thanks, in one of your videos you mentioned how good the missha BB cream was and it has become almost the only thing I use for my base. I'm 67 and it doesn't sit in lines. Love it
I'm on a budget these days and am ALL about the dupes. I found out about a lot of these from Jen Phelps but I was also excited to see your take on them too because I usually like to get a few opinions on dupes. Ya know, sometimes people have different viewpoints or skin types or whatever. But you both came to the same conclusions about these so I'm planning my purchases now, specifically the Elf O Face Lipsticks, Lash & Roll mascara, the Suntouchable primer and the Flower Lip Gloss sticks.
I don’t usually like a lot of Elf makeup but you absolutely sold me on those lipsticks as I love NARS lipsticks. Your recommendations always work out for me
Have you tried elf in the last year or so? They're REALLY good.
Those elf lipsticks are almost identical to the Maybelline Superstay Lip Crayons, but maybe even a little dryer. It honestly wasn't what I expected. It's very matte... comfortable enough but with winter lips I was hoping for a little more moisture.
@@PurposefulHomeschool those maybelline crayons are one of my favourite lip formulas
@NO yeah, I like them as well. I will probably appreciate the formula more when it warms up and it's not so dry. I somehow had the impression these were more of a satin finish, so that's on me. If you love the ink crayons, you'll love the elf as well.
So glad you told us what lipstick you're wearing in this video, your lipstick looks lovely. I've been looking for a kind of rust red colour. I will have to have a look for this Elf lipstick 😁
Great info!!!! I actually found a NARS cream bronzer at TJ Maxx the other day for $12.99, only found one in the whole place but they’re out there :)
Thanks!
I grabbed the milani contour wand ♡ I grabbed one for my daughter for Valentine's Day also I'm putting together cute little bags. You are not alone girl I also thought roller skating. You just taught me that today.
The revolution one does dry down really well and blends beautifully! Just be careful when setting it and try setting with a powder bronzer and patting it on rather than a translucent powder that has a little pigment because it can sometimes make it muddy if the powder has any colour to it.
i LOVE the Sephora Best Skin Ever foundation so much
That elf lipstick brand you mentioned. The shade ‘dirty talk’ is a dupe for ‘Pillow Talk’
I love the Tarte lip plump in the shade Primrose! I swatched Cherry Blossom in store and thought it was too light for me. Love your videos!!!
I love ELF products and I agree they are really stepping it up! i want to try the O Face lipsticks but I have a hard time finding shades I like.
Please mention the shades of the products you discuss ❤
I have been w u since u were jam beauty & I really think this may have been my favorite dupe video yet !! I appreciate that you give props to the product no matter if they're in the higher or lower end of the scale. I have saved a lot of $ thanks to these videos. So....thank you & keep them coming !! I'll be here waiting for more !
6:56 🤣🤣🤣 you're so cute, I like that you give us a sneak peek to your mind lol, it's so fun.
I have never held that mascara tube in my hand but have seen it on social media everywhere and I didn't know it stood for "hair roller" either, I thought it was a catchy name, I kept wondering what it was but never went as far as roller skating 😂😂😂 you're hilarious ❤
Thank you for drugstore dupe videos! I have the budget for higher end makeup but I look for as many drugstore options as possible. Keep em coming!
I’m obsessed with Essence across the board - I own literally every lip product they make & I worship them.
Of course we know Lash Princess is QUEEN, but those blushes both remind me of Luminoso! Does anyone know if they’ve been compared to each other?! I mean for $6 I’ll probably get it anyways in a different color lol but curious, bc I own & *LOVE* Luminoso - it’s my year round go-to
Good for you 🥰 Unfortunately, once these products go viral, they're impossible to find anymore for many of us.
I've used ( and loved ) Essence foundations, mascaras, blushes, lipsticks & glosses since 2010. They're constantly out of stock everywhere now! I live in a small town too, where they don't sell ELF, Milani and Revlon so that doesn't help 😢
OMG!! HOURGLASS!! YES!! So there are very few high end products that I've repurchased (two to be precise - KVD tattoo liner and Hourglass ambient blush). I like to try new things but also like to save so I tend to use more drugstore than high end. A few years back I tried a mini of the Hourglass glass ambient blush in mood exposure and LOVED it! I've repurchased the full size twice during the sephora sales but it still painfully expensive. A few weeks ago I saw one of your videos where you talked about the new essence blushes and showed the goldy cassis one. I am a big mauve/berry blush girl so I added that to my cart. As soon as I saw it in person I thought oh man this looks like the Hourglass one!!! It is SOOOO CLOSE!!! I think the Hourglass glow is a bit better but they are so close and for the insane price difference I already added another essence to my cart so I have a backup in case they get discontinued. Such a great blush for such a great price! Love these videos! Stay well :)
The hot to touch colourpop blush is one of the best and it surprisingly lasts. i got it as the blush/highlighter duo so i mix the two sometimes to get a blushy/glowy look 🥰
Your excitement is contagious! ❤Gotta try the elf lipsticks, for sure, and the Essence baked blushes. (I love the Milani baked blushes though, so it's it's going to be a big hurdle for Essence.) Never had any luck with Hour Glass either--sometimes application on cheeks from the same package look different because of the swirled product. Annoyingly gimmicky. So thanks for the dupes!! Happy Valentine's Day! 💝
Love your content, long time follower- from when you were a teacher and pre kiddos!! Could you do an updated video of cream/liquid favs? I found an older video and am patiently waiting for my ulta order to try out what you recommend. 💜
The Tarte Amazonian Clay 16-Hour Foundation reminds me of the Revlon ColorStay Full Cover Foundation.
I love the elf lash & roll mascara. Def my favorite mascara, high end or not
ELF is killing it right now. I also saw a comparison of Tarte lip with a Wet and Wild product. Which we know is way affordable. Thank you, Jessica!
i would recommend trying the revolution eye bright illuminating concealer (i’m pretty fair and use shade deep caramel) as a CT contour wand dupe! i haven’t tried the CT one, but i really like my revolution one and find it very easy to blend
Have u tried the new Wet n Wild comforting lip color!? That’s the best dupe for the Tarte. The formula is exactly the same for like $5!!!!!! ❤
I’m so glad you said that about the hourglass blush. It’s so patchy I gave up.
Groupa dupa! I’ve honestly had better luck at the drugstore lately. Drugstore makeup is so much better than when I first started wearing makeup in the 70’s. My mom wore only Estée Lauder and it worked for her. I started with Covergirl and Coty and now like L’Oreal, products, but wish they were cruelty free so tend to look for other options.
I trust your recommendations more than anyone on TH-cam, honest and cannot be bought, all opinions are strictly your own. Very genuine.
That Essence blush is beautiful. Love it over my high end blushes.
The Armani foundation is my favourite foundation ever. I bought it for my wedding day and omg the lasting power and the finish is perfect for my dry skin. Also the shade match on my very fair skin is so perfect. I’m intrigued that the Sephora one might be similar.
I'm curious, too. The Armani is my everyday go-to and holds up well for my 10 hour work days. It still comes off on masks, but not terribly so and it wears off in a way that doesn't look bad at all.
It's really not ...
Omg I’ve been saying for years how that essence pure light highlighter is a dupe for the hour glass ambient powder it would make sense that they just add pink pigment to their highlighter formula and you get an instant dupe for the hourglass blushes
I love the hour glass blushes. I use a large fluffy powder brush, and just use it to blow out my blush. Clear up the temple, the edge of the brow, and slightly under the eye.
We love you, too! I think I’ve been following for almost the whole time. You also live in my city and I met you one time at “A store by you called Meijer”😅 during a really hard time in my life and you were so sweet and genuine and it meant a lot. You have my support for as long as you are creating content! ❤🎉😊
I think my favorite dupe I found on my own at least I feel like it’s a dupe is the Maybelline master strobing stick in 100 light/iridescent for the Fenty Matchstix in the shade Starstruck. I bought the Fenty one for years because it was my favorite highlighter on my skin but I was curious if there was something drugstore brand I could find instead and I found the Maybelline one. I love the Maybelline one and I don’t think I even own the Fenty one anymore
Great video Jessica! I think my fave dupe was the Elf/Nars lipsticks. Wow! I'm just blown away! I've never tried Elf's lipsticks yet but after seeing this I'm definitely going to try them now! I hate spending a fortune for makeup..ugh..although sometimes I have if it's something I really want. Too Faced or Smashbox, whatever it be. Oh, also the Elf/Roller Lash mascara I liked! I have Roller Lash right now and I'm going to buy the Elf Lash Roll and try it. I'm always on the hunt for a good dupe! Your vids help me find them! Thanks so much! ❤
The 3 pan bronzer, blush and highlight from Relove are sooo good. You need to check them out
That Tarte line goes on very condensed and I fly through the product. I will have to check out the Flower Beauty one!!
LOVE this video. You do “dupes groups” so well! My favorite dupe from this video has to be the NARS/ELF lipstick. I will be checking out those ELF lip pies post haste!! I’m like…magnetic packaging for $9 🥳
Great video. The depth of that elf lipstick on you is perfection!
I’ve been watching your videos on and off for years, no rhyme or reason why I don’t watch lol, I just go in spurts with You Tubers for some reason. But anyways it just occurred to me that you are the Queen if Dupes! If someone asked me if there is a dupe for something, you’re the first one I would think of!! I’ve been obsessed with some of your dupes and still love them.
Jessica. I’ve seen that color pop body bronzer is a dupe for the Nars!!! I haven’t tried them yet, but it’s on my list!! I love your videos. You are so honest and I feel I can trust your reviews/dupes!!! You are AHMAZING!!
I tried to guess which side was which before you said and I guessed wrong! The drugstore side looks amazing!
The Essence Pure Nude highlighter is a dupe for the Ambient Light setting powder too Lisa J did a short on it! You CANNOT DUPE ROSY GLOW! Dior nailed it! Something happens with the Dior blush, the shade in the palette doesn't transfer that pink, it really turns Rosy on the cheeks! There's something special about it and the Coral one is like that too! It's the formula!
I think the Sol Body Bronzing Balm is closer to the Nars. I'm not one to keep backups, but I definitely have a backup of the Sol one because it's that good!
That Hourglass blush is georgous. Just love it
Wow 10 years!! Congratulations 🎈🎉 I am subscribed so glad I found u again!!! Ur so insightful! Gonna watch more videos! Target haul! Yes please! N please 🙏 lmk about the lighting for my beautiful room! Not as nice as urs! Thanks for the inspiration! Truly
For the tarte maracuja juicy lip plumping balm, I think wet n wild's rose comforting lip color in the shade biscotti mommy could be a closer dupe to it in look and feel on the lips (in terms of the shade and formula, minus the cooling sensation you'll get with the tarte one). It's also $5.29, so you end up saving $18 more than you would with the flower one. Thanks to Ms Emily Noel for mentioning the wet n wild lip color in her drugstore newness video (planning on getting the pecan glaze shade she tried on the video, which is a pretty browny nude shade for me😊).
Sephora Lipstories cream formula is not only a formula dupe for the audacious, but also many color dupes. If you haven't tried them, you should. The packaging is much cuter and recyclable too.
Also, Covergirl Clump Crusher in green dupes Benefit Rollerlash.
Group of dupes...lol.
BTW, I used the Shea Moisture hair mask you recommended in your last video...💕
Happy Valentines Day!💟
Wow,thanks for sharing these dupes. I’m excited about the e.l.f. dupes because I’m changing all my makeup to cruelty-free only and I used to love NARS Audacious lipsticks, but no mas.
I picked up one of those elf lipsticks the other day at target and it really is crazy how similar it is to the nars! Now I need the elf sunscreen lol!!
Hey there, Jess!! You look soooo beautiful, as always!! I hope you're all doing well. I love ALL of the dupes! There are definitely a ton of them right now. Fantastic products for fabulous prices, I am totally down for that!! 😆 I can't even pick a fave, they're all so good! Thanks for all of the hard work, that you put into all of your videos and vlogs!! You're the best!! Take care! ❤️
Ohhhh my lanta stopppp!!! I always thought roller lash was referring to roller skating… no idea why! Im mind blown right now🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Ulta Brand Ultra Slim Brow Pencil is a good dupe for the Benefit Precisely, My Brow, and the Chapstick Total Hydration Tinted Lip Balms are a slightly more moisturizing dupe for the Glossier Generation G lipsticks!
Lol! I just got the hair roller packaging too! I also thought they meant roller skating. 😂😂😂😂
The elf pure nude highlight is a dupe for the ambient light as well!!
Love all ur videos but ur dupe videos are so awesome and spot on! 😊💕 Happy Valentines Day 💝 Hope ur day is full of love! Always wanted to try the Armani but not in my budget so definitely excited to try the Sephora 😊😊
I got the Elf glow sunscreen due to your recondition in another video and I love it. I Def am going to try that sephora foundation next. ♡♡ love these videos.
Thank you so much for this video. The fantastic thing is that not only are the dupes a fraction of the price but also cruelty free!! 🥰🐇
Oh. I have to check out that ELF mascara. I love the RollerLash and it's $37 cdn!!!
If you have oily skin the makeup revolution cream bronzer is cake City. I was disappointed. The NARS bronzer is worth it!!
Jessica your makeup is STUNNNNING today. So pretty and naturally glowy. Love your channel....I watch u faithfully but I do nt usually post had to today. U look amazing. Xoxo dana from pa
I want to get my hands on that blush from Colourpop. Hopefully, they bring it back. I am also excited about the ELF sunscreen and the lipstick. This is why I am an icon member of ELF.
Thank you! I’ve wanted to try the Armani foundation for a while, but it’s awesome to know I can get a similar look with the Sephora one!
my youtube suggestions made me discover your channel and i have to say im glad it did. I loved your giggles and your laugh and even if i live in europe so many of those products are hard to find here (like they dont sell flower beauty here) i still enjoy your videos cuz of your personality. New subscriber! Thank you and have a good day ^^
I recommend the trader joe's spf and elf hydrating cream with spf in the blue container. It hydrates while also protecting and giving you a slight glow
The Dior blush looks like an Instain Blush in Lace by The Balm. Great dupes
This was great!! Ty for the content and thoughtfulness you always put forth! One if my faves! (you are)!
I LOVE that e.l.f. lipstick in Drive. It is the perfect 90's brown. 💋💯
Nice dupes thanks❤❤❤❤❤ can you find one for the new Roth primer pore wrinkle reducer 😂 my old Sephora over the moon blush looks close to these 2
I try to avoid purchasing makeup that is made in China and unfortunately, the elf products I’ve seen are made there. I know many of the products we purchase are made in China, but this is my attempt to make a tiny difference. In the end, that is likely why those products are so much cheaper. It’s a me thing…but I love that you show these options! Great for all consumers to know their choices!
Agreed. Many dupe videos never compare product quality, where it's made, etc. I wish they would. How it looks on is just one factor.
Unfortunately China is taking over and not much is made in the usa anymore. If it is it’s usually one ingredient or the packaging or something minute. Slave labor has taken precedence sadly…
I just placed my order to try the Elf lipsticks. If you buy from their website, there are more shades than what Ulta offers! (I think there are 10 more, 20 total)
I think the best dupe for the Giorgio Armani is the Loreal true match nude Hyaluronic Serum foundation. It is incredible and I am an older woman who used the Armani for years. The downside is the color selection (at least where I am) and Loreal is not cruelty free so I'll be heading back to Armani ;)
The new True Match is too!
Armani is not cruelty-free either. It's my favorite foundation ever and I can't find a cruelty-free dupe to save my life. 😭
I bought the elf sunscreen from your recommendation and also enjoy it more!! I feel like it kinda gives a bit more coverage too. I’ve been wearing it by itself and have been loving it! ❤
Ur simple eye looks look so beautiful all the time, love them!
Based on a video you recently posted I bought the elf lipstick and the mascara, the pink flat sided makeup sponge, the makeup revolution under eye primer and the essence baked blush.
Another GREAT Dior blush dupe is Covergirl Cheekers blush in Candy Pink. I saw another influencer mention it months ago and then just saw Kelly Strack mention it again recently. You have to build it up a little more than the Dior but it gets you there and is such an affordable option! Also, ❤️ you!
I've never tried the Dior one, but love the Cheekers!!
❤❤I love that one!! I own it and think it’s beautiful
Kokie Pinken trio blush and highlight trio palette and Revlon Wild about Violet blush too. Physicians Formula mosaic blush in pink along with Essence. There are a lot that look exactly like Dior’s on the skin
