I don't know if you realize how helpful your videos are. I am so grateful that you take the time and expense to buy, review and swatch so many cosmetics. Your videos are so well done and never boring. When you talk about dupes, I can look forward to seeing the brilliant swatches that you post. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the time and effort and that you put into your videos. xo
I just LOVE dupe videos! Sooo helpful, i love saving money on products, def going to try out those dupe for bronzers and that Sonia Kashuk blush looks gorgeous! Great video.
This might be one of my all time favorite YT videos! I appreciate your sharing this info and the time plus the cost of sleuthing. The photos were great, helpful and convincing!
This was so helpful! You are one of my absolute favourite people to watch. I could listen to you talk about makeup for hours lol
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!! This was so helpful!! I really appreciate all the time you took to find all of these :) Would LOVE to see any more dupes you happen to find. Thanks again :)
I love that you're so grounded. You also do a great job at explaining everything, and the breakdown of what the swatches look like is so nicely structured! Thank you :)
I couldn't agree more!! The color payoff is excellent, the powder is finely milled, dense and well pressed, the texture is satiny smooth and easy to buff out. It's definitely an HG worthy blush! I even love the clean, slim, white packaging!
Thanks for this! So excited to try the Sunset blush since I never could get my hands on Ripe Peach. I appreciate how honest you are in your videos, definitely my fave TH-camr!
Thanks you for listing all the high-end and dupe products! It's so helpful, I found myself writing everything down before I realized that you provided us with a list =)
Christine Kobzeff I would really love to see an updated version of this. I think I speak for most of your subbies when I say WE LOVE DUPES!! :)
I have seen many dupes, but you are so exact so I trust your dupes more than others. You actually photo outside, which shows the true color. Thank you for taking time out of your life to do this for us!
I love videos like this! I also love the background change. Your lighting is always perfect!
Thank you, for making some of the best videos ever! From your day in the life to cosmetic reviews, I’d rather sit and watch your videos than anything on TV!
What! Get out!! I'm originally from Oregon too! Moved out here in 2000. My husband and I love the warmth and relaxed life style in Hawaii. However there are some things we miss about the mainland, like going on road trips, being closer to friends and family, having access to stores we don't have here. So to avoid boredom and keep it fresh, we try to go on trips whenever possible, even just a weekend get away to another island is a great refresher. :)
Christine you did a fabulous job showing the dupes in this video. I am sure it was a lot of work matching everything up and then photographing. Just wanted to let you know your fans appreciate this so much ♥
I love this video. Every dupe video should be represented this exact way. You gave the complete name, the actual pictures with the name, more than one different kind if the swatches matched, and you have it listed in the description box. THANK YOU sooo much!!!!
Thanks for listing all the names of the dupes in the description, makes it so much easier. Very few people do this!
I'm glad to hear someone else appreciates Sonia Kashuk Sunset as much as I do. I absolutely love that blush and think it is so under hyped.
She really did her research! I love it!
Christine you are awesome!!!! Thank you for being so dedicated at everything you help us with in the beauty world and so much more! Hugs, Mercy
Love this video, I love the dupe suggestions you gave, I'm off to CVS to get the Milani blushes and Wet and WIld Bronzers... thanks so much.
The setting quality, lighting in this video .........love! At the risk of repeating myself, you look fabulous! ~Natalie
Good question! I don't own MAC Whisper of Guilt but I swatched it at my counter the day it was released, if I recall correctly I think they are quite similar.
Thanks for all your hard work! I'm saving this to refer back to and looking forward to more dupe videos. Nice to have alternatives to HE, and my daughters will appreciate this too! Much happiness in your new home, Reenee
every once in a while I search youtube for new gurus to watch. very seldom do I have any luck and find anyone worth watching....but I stubbled onto your channel. Really enjoy your videos!!!! keep up the great work :)
Christine... you are like a breath of fresh air. SO MANY "gurus" (hate that word) are heavily influenced by the brand name/label. It would be interesting to see ALL products placed in the same type of containers with NO labels... present them to the "gurus" and see what their HONEST opinion is! Thankfully you're just genuine from the inside out! We can SO totally rely on your reviews! LOVE that you have a mix of labels! You don't necessarily get what you pay for! Yay for Maui girls! ;)
Oh and you are awesome at dupes... these are right on. So many times I see videos that are supposed to show dupes and they aren't even close... lol. You have a really great eye for color.
Honestly the best dupe video I've ever seen 👌👌👌👌 amazing!
This is another great, well organized video! I really appreciate the time you have taken to provide us with the high end products and the cheaper dupes. I am trying to save money by finding alternatives to high end products, some of which you mentioned. This was so helpful! Thanks very much!
Thanku a million times. I can't afford any of those higher end ones. Barely able to get drugstore ones sometimes. But this makes my day. After seeing ur collection and how u did it. As far as I am concerned and no matter what all these other girls think they got going on. Ur the Queen for me. The green color in ur room is the same as my cancer ribbon and I love that color of green. It's bright and that how I feel about my life and future. Thanks so much.
Love this video! Thanks for taking the time to do this. Looking forward to more dupe videos.
The swatch of candy pink was gorgeous! I've been loving your videos. I find them to be quite helpful!
you did a perfect job finding these dupes... most other videos show only similar dupes but never really the same but i am so excited to go get these because they are exactly the same on color so thanks a whole bunch..love watching you!
Great video, I Always love to get the same look for cheap plus a lot of people font realize that a lot of drugstore stuff is the same like loreal owns lancome so most of the products are the same even Paula's choice says the face serums and stuff are the same.keep the dupes videos coming they REALLY help
thank you for always summarizing your dupes/findings in the info bar... it's so helpful and easy to reference back to!
Thank you Christine for these makeup dupes!!. You have helped me so much in color dupes!! I love all the swatches!!. Keep bringing them in all types of makeup choices!! You are so sweet for taking time out of your busy day to do this for us!! I really enjoy your video's!! :)
This was very helpful -can't wait to see the next 2 "dupe" videos. The pictures are great. They really help to prove that the products are "dupes", since sometimes they don't look exactly the same in the pan. Keep up the great work-I always look forward to seeing your videos in my sub box. :)
This is one of the best dupe videos I've seen. I can't wait to see the next ones. I guess I'll be picking up the few Milani Mineral blushes that I don't have... & maybe a back-up or 2. Thanks Christine!
Love these dupe videos; I don't want to spend my money on just a label. Thanks for filming this and I'm looking forward to the remainder of the dupe series.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I have most of the drugstore products that you mentioned, it's so nice to hear that they are almost exact dupes of pricier products. I do need to get the few that I don't already have. Thanks again. xoxoxoxo Norma
This video is amazing!!!!! I wish there were more dupe videos out there!!! Thank You so much for this one and I can't wait to see your other dupe videos!!
Honestly you have some of the best dupe videos out there thanks so much for taking the time to make these they really help!!!
This was a very informative video Christine! Thanks for putting the time into doing this for us. I'm definitely going to be giving these a try. I'm looking forward to the lipsticks and glosses since I love those type of products. I love the same colors as you do as well so I'm curious to see what you found for some of our favorite nudes. I really love your new house and where you are filming it's so beautiful!! Have a great day sweetie and I'm looking forward to the next video. xoxo Kelly
i really want to thank you for taking the time to make videos like these, I can only imagine that they take tons of time to make and find such great dupes for! Just subbed!
I agree with makeupbyme100, go for fair skin bronzers. One in particular that comes to mind is Milani Baked Bronzer in Glow (it's the lightest one) I think it would look so gorgeous on you as a highlight!
This is seriously the best dupe video ever. Thank you so much!!!!!! This is my shopping list!!!
WoW!!! Excellent comparison video!! You do just a splendid job!! Yes, yes, yes, we want more dupes, pleaaase and thank you!!!
Thank you so much for doing your dupe videos. I am sure they are very time consuming but so many of us appreciate your hard work! Mahalo.
Such a helpful video and what a sharp eye you have for dupes :) Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to parts 2 and 3!
This was so so helpful! It's mad how close the dupes are for pretty much all of those products!
ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS EVER!!! really informative, and great swatches!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Some of my "want list" blushes were mentioned here and now I can buy cheaper alternatives!
omg u have an eye for dupes likes no ones business!!! please do the other one soon so i dont spend anymore crazy money on things i can get for half the amount!! I LOVE THESE VIDS
I'm glad to see that I have most dupes for the highlighters and bronzers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to go buy all this stuff, make swatches & photograph them for us...You're awesome!
Wow!! Amazing... Everything was so close:) Looking forward to an updated skin care routine, your skin looks great!!!
Love this video! Do more of these, they are so helpful! Love the new backround too!
My favorite video of yours, so far. Thank you.....very classy, and very well done.
Great video. Your descriptions and videos are perfect. You are helping so many women ( and men) who love to wear makeup find alternative products in the colors and textures they love. Tremendous amount of time, money, effort and talent went into making this video and we thank you. BTW have you visited the redheaded little piggy lately? Those piggies of yours are so cute they must love the new yard.
I am sure many others before me said it all already, so I'll keep it short:
Your skin looks amazing!
Thanks for all those dupes; they helped a bunch!
seriously the best dupe video EVER! unlike others your products were real dupes to high end ones, so bad we don't get milani where I live :( excited for the rest of your dupe videos & subbed ;)
Thanks for doing this,awesome video.You have become one of my favorite YT gurus and I follow many.Love your demeanor,very relaxing way about you and so not fake or phoney. xoCathy
Great video! These dupes seem very similar, It's always good to save money when you are getting pretty much the same effect!! You seem to put a lot of effort in your videos, I subscribed!!
Great video!! Thanks for taking so much time to go over all of these products...these are great dupes!
Yay!!! I hear ya, there's so many stores on the mainland that we don't have here in the islands! Are you on Oahu? I heard a Sally's Beauty Supply opened up in Pearl Ridge.
ELF ,CANDID CORAL! BEST DUPE OUT THERE!! LOVE IT
This video is amazing!!! Thank you so much for putting in all this work to make a great video! As a full time college student with a part time job I am always looking for great drugstore products!
I love this! Best dupe ever, hopefully you have an update for this.
thank you! very classy dupes!! i bought the pmd because of you and i cant wait to see if i have the positive results you experienced.
Great video!!! Thanks for doing this. I know that took a lot of time to compare all that and it is greatly appreciated. I especially loved the Dior amber diamond dupe because I can't tell you how many times I have pick it up and put it back because of the price.
you have a really great eye for finding dupes. Great video! Some of the dupes look better than the high end.
This is a fantastic video Christine..looking fwd to the rest of the series! Your skin looks really radiant on this video too :-) Thx for sharing
just found your chanel, you are BEAUTIFUL! and so down to earth! this is super helpful! I love high end products, but only for things that I CAN NOT get anywhere else! If I can pinch pennies I love doing so and then saving up for the high ends I just can't do without :)
wow this is by far the best make up vid I've seen on youtube and I've seen a lot lol! Thanks so much
Just got the necklace I ordered from u in the post today, once again great service and amazing product. Am excitedly awaiting ur summer collection. X
Thanks so much for this video. You saved me a lot of money since I have so many of the dupes already. I was bummed that I missed out on Mac's ripe peach but I've had its dupe in my collection this whole time! Now I can stop looking for it. You're awesome,
Awesome! I buy most of my NYX at Longs in Kahului, Lahaina or Kihei. Walgreens also carries NYX. But I like to hold out for the sales at Longs :)
Loving the 'new' background (to me anyway) ... I so appreciate that you are doing this series:) I am so happy that I already have the HC All Glow (& was unsure how to use it) & had wanted to get the NARS Luxor! Woot! Thank you for all the time and effort that you've put into this video, for all of us to benefit from Christine. oxo Care
Thanks! I'll try to finish organizing dupes for lip products this week, I should have that video ready to post either later this week or next week. :)
Great video, so informative.....i am still gonna run to my walgreens and see what milani blushes i can find. Thanks a ton!
Thank you so much for this video. Can't wait t o get my hands on the Hard Candy bombshell blush!
Making my list for sure! This was super helpful! I can't wait to hit up the drugstore!
probably the best dupe video I've seen!
This is one of the best Dupe vidio I found yet, keep it coming!!!!
I really liked this video. Dupe video's are some of my favorite. Please do another one soon.!!
Thanks so much for this! I just made a trip to Walmart to get some of these and love what I have swatched so far!
Your skin looks so glowy and awesome here!!!
Woo hoo!! Awesome! Are you staying on the west side? On the west side I shop: Walgreens, Longs, Sephora. South Side: Longs, Cos Bar. I live in central though, so usually I make the rounds to Walmart, Longs, Walgreens, Macy's in Kahului. For natural skincare, haircare, etc... I love Mana foods in Paia (North Shore)
this is a fantastic dupe video, and it's very detailed. you found a lot of dupes for a lot of great products. thank you!!!
Great video!!!! Where do you buy most of your makeup on Maui!?! I am here on vacation and all I could find is Sephora! Love your bathroom as well! Beautiful!!! xoxoKassie
I love love love these types of videos! Can't wait to see more!! Thanks again!!
Love this! I also love how you put all the products in the text box :)
GREAT vid!!!! I do have those Milani blushes and I only got them for a buck or two when they all went on clearance at CVS : )) Can't wait for your other videos for dupes!!!
thanks for taking the time to look for all the dupes, it was very helpful to me,great dupe video.
Golden Rose also makes a nice highlighter. Love their lipsticks too. Wd love to see u find some dupes there. Cosmetics have improved so much in my 56 yrs. When I remember the 70s-80s, how I wore maroon lipstick with terra-cotta blush, ev'thing so harsh & wrong, I just cringe! Then u had all the watery whitish-pink stuff. Now, such better quality & heart-stopping coral-pinks ..... THANK U, Christine.
Milani has amazing blushes & bronzers. At my walgreens we just have the baked blushes. I need to venture out or go to there website. Thanks for this video Christine,very helpful.
I love your videos! Elf has a blush that is the exact dupe as nars angelika.. it even has the sparkles
I loved this video -- it's fun to see that options exist that are wallet friendly! thank you.
Thanks for the video, I would love to see a dupes video of neutral eyeshadows. Any recommendations for the perfect beige/brown with slight shimmer but not glitter that looks kind of natural? :)
what!!!! oh my gosh you have no idea how excited this makes me! I feel like the only place we can go to get drugstore makeup is Longs, Walmart, and Target. I get so sad when I see so many videos here on youtube about amazing make-up deals at Rite Aid/CVS :(
