I know this is a bit of a blast from the past.. do you guys want to see the return of the dupes videos of the past, let me know in the comments below.. Love you all x
These are fantastic dupes Rob. Would definitely love to see more! My favourite cleansing balm is the one from Heimish. Great stuff and melts makeup off like a dream. xx
Nothing brings me joy than your illustrious videos, Rob! Especially on my birthday! 🎉 Thnks a bunch for this, please bring back dupes videos more frequently, it’s always a treasured topic 💜
G&G does have a US site specifically now, and the shipping time is a bit better. They still have a kindof high free shipping threshold.. but I have found a good amount of products I like for them so it works for me! Great brand
Oh I love that Q+A shower oil. It really does feel luxurious. I'm also going to have to give the Stratia Interface a try--FOMO is getting me on this one.
Happy monday Scott.. haha the FOMO will pay off in this case :) especially as stratia is easy to get in the states, here the shipping is a pain lol.. love xxxx
Oh yes please! I am new to your channel and have been watching many. I should have saved the video I saw a few days ago when you and those in the chat gave several great suggestions. Now I am trying to find the video. So far so good with the Ordinary suggestions! Thanks!,,,
Hey Rob, how do I hit the 'like' button many times to get extra counts? I love drugstore dupes keep 'em coming. Sending love and looking forward to learning all about the new MAS product----hint hnt hint.🤫. I can't imagine how excited you must be. Sending love and have a wonderful week ahead. ~ Paula
Happy Monday Paula :) hope you have the most fabulous week ahead... I cant wait for the product to finally be ready to launch lol the impatience is building here for sure lol.. Sending you so so much love x
Yesss! As a skin specialist who obsessed over inci and quality, the drugstore wins EVERYTIME! Every product, but one (I just can’t give up Image brightening powder), I use is drugstore and my skin has never looked better! I have like 5000 drugstore suggestions 😂😂😂😂
Both are so so good.. I wish they were easier to ship to the UK but thats my only problem as they are flawless products for sure.. Hope all is amazing with you and sending love x
@@MadAboutSkin I know but maybe in the future. I’m good although got into makeup which is its own journey. Really enjoying Elf but also enjoying Charlotte Tilbury, Hourglass and Laura Mercier. Off to London tomorrow for a couple of days with my mum and Finn my Jack Russell
Love the dupes videos Have you by any chance tried the revolution cerave dupe - I love it and wondered how it compares to the coats one Love that you opt for cf skincare 😊
Happy Weekend hun.. I tried stratia ages ago but only recently got into them again and that interface is the cheapest high quality growth factors serum I have ever seen which is amazing.. love x
I've been impressed with most of Aldis dupes. They are cruelty free too. The night hand cream transformed my hands. The toners have similar ingredients to the pixi ones and work great. The glycolic toner my fave toner. I regularly buy the hot cloth polisher and cleansing balm. They have great ingredients and cheap. It let's me spend a bit more on serums and creams. Just saying.
Love this thank you! Just wondered if you have tried revolution pro miracle cream as a dupe for ct magic cream and if so how does it compare to the dupe you have mentioned as would be interesting to give it a try 😊
Hello from Belgrade, just to say thank you, even we from Western Balkans do not have every product you show, your videos are always great. Would you mind making video about being sensitive to squalane? I think it would be wise, because it is shown as a magic pill for skin, and it is hard to find product without it. Thank you ❤
Oh thank you so much for your kind words hun and I am so glad you enjoyed the video.. I would love to film that video so thank you so much for the suggestion.. love x
I wold treat it as a peptide serum, the lactic acid is in there as a humectant rather than an exfoliator due to the amount and the PH so I wouldn't worry about it.. love x
Deffo ❤ in the current economic climate I want to save money 💰 thank you And OMG YES ANY ALLIES OF SKIN DUPES 🎉 Rob I’ve heard some worrying things about grow factors and cancer, can you put my mind at rest please 🙏
Hi hun, with growth factors I have read all the studies and there is nothing which shows applying to the skin is going to cause issues which is why I continue to use them but your totally right to raise these things as we have to watch out for ourselves.. Sending you so much love x
I use dr bronners castille with a splash of barbacide or hibiclense. I also use HOT water and let them soak for 15-30 mins. I also microwave my sponges in olive oil, water, and dish soap
Great video, love a dupe. The stratia product sounds good, but I'm wondering about how to incorporate it into a MAS based skincare routine. Love brand reviews as well. Is there any chance of a Stratia review?
Oh you know what really early on into my channel I did a strait review but it must have got lost in all the videos lol so I think an update is due for sure :) ... in terms of adding it to a MAS routine, I would use it just before the antioxidant and moisturiser, kind of as your last serum if that makes sense.. sending love x
Thank you so much for answering my questions. I'm down to my last few drops of SubQ skin so I'm really excited for the launch of your Peptide. Thanks to you I now finally understand my skin. ❤
@@ritas1433 I don’t know how to share…sorry ….but if you just put home made vitamin d serum into TH-cam…there plenty of choice….its very simple and cheap as chips…I made 10% …but I’m now making 20% 🥰
I have done hun and I love them.. some people hate on them as they do ten to copy other brands but I think for budget skincare its a great option.. love x
@MadAboutSkin I don't mind 'duping' (obviously 😝 ), but I did read on Reddit some people genuinely disliked their performance. I had already ordered the ceramide cream, cleanser and niacinamide from Beauty Bay so I'll find out for myself I guess! (I also wanted to try their ce ferulic but sold out). Thanks for your reply and your amazing videos!
There are mixed opinions on this and I think it will depend on the person.. it certainly wont be working at max performance so I would stop using a product once it oxidises. love x
To sure wut it is, but every cleansing balm I hav ever used gives me cold sore lookin rashes, doesn’t matter the oil Kuzbass they wer all different, its wierd.
I reeeeeally want the Stratia serum and the G&G Vit C...but I'll have to pay an extra £12 p&p for the Stratia and £18 p&p for the G&G!!!!...not as money saving as i would like.....not your fault but it is frustrating 😢x
Geek and gorgeous has free shipping in UK when you shop for 45 pounds or more. I always take 4 bottles of the c-glow, so no shipping costs. I store them in the fridge, it extends shelf life by about 6 months. I do keep the open bottle in fridge as well, that way I haven’t experienced any oxidation with the product, and when I travel I just take a little in an extra bottle and leave the rest at home. Take care and have a nice day!
Oh I am sorry to hear let shipping is a barrier, G&G have a UK site which is where I shop and that makes it a little cheaper usually.. sending you lots of love x
I know this is a bit of a blast from the past.. do you guys want to see the return of the dupes videos of the past, let me know in the comments below.. Love you all x
Yes please. I'm always looking for the best low priced quality skincare.
Hey Rob! Yes more dupe videos! I seriously enjoy them. Sending love ❤❤❤❤❤
Yay I am so so glad you enjoyed... sending you lots of love x
apparently Astral (yes, UK made 50s Astral) is a dupe but original of some TikTok Lumiere cream that's super popular? A reverse dupe? @@MadAboutSkin
Yes! Bring back dupes!!❤
Gladly :) xxx
These are fantastic dupes Rob. Would definitely love to see more! My favourite cleansing balm is the one from Heimish. Great stuff and melts makeup off like a dream. xx
Thank you so much hun and I will factor that into my next dupes video :) love x
Yes, please! We all love alternatives to the astronomical high prices of premium skincare products 😊
Dont worry I will be making this one into a series for sure :) xx
The Stratia Lipid Gold has sea buckthorn in it. I remember you mentioning sea buckthorn the other day. Just put it my cart.
Oh I forgot that one had buckthorn in it, such an amazing product so I hope you really enjoy it.. love x

I love the AoS serum! Just picked up 3 of the interface serum and “accidentally “ picked up 2 lipid gold. I mean it now. I’m off to ban island

Happy to film more for sure x
I found Revuele ceramide hydrating cleanser and it's really good! No need for cerave anymore 😊
yay thank you so much for sharing your recommendation.. love x
How would you use the stratia with other actives? It says yes because the lactic acid in it is small. Looks amazing by the way! What a find!
I wold treat it as a peptide serum, the lactic acid is in there as a humectant rather than an exfoliator due to the amount and the PH so I wouldn't worry about it.. love x
What was the substitute for the 160 aliza skin spray on the dupe 😊
Rob, have you heard of the VT Cosmetics Reedle Shots. I saw some interesting reviews on YT but I want to know more.
I have it on order and I am so so excited to try it so there will be a full review coming up.. ;love x
I would love for you to do a video on what to use for lines around the lips and eyes that actually work…
I would be happy to film that hun thanks for the suggestion x

Hi, love your info. What do you recommend for cleaning my makeup brushes that is safe for the brushes and our skin ???
I use dr bronners castille with a splash of barbacide or hibiclense. I also use HOT water and let them soak for 15-30 mins. I also microwave my sponges in olive oil, water, and dish soap
I would usually recommend a liquid soap as that wont be an issue for the skin. hope this helps and sending you lots of love x
@@MadAboutSkin what do you recommend for disinfecting them? Do you use an antibacterial soap?

Is it better to get a vitamin c that is in an airless pump because they oxidise?
It can be but honestly I think freshness is more important than the packaging when it comes to vitamin c.. love x
Can you do a video showing how to layer the interface serum into your routine

Can oxidized vitamin c irritate the skin
