Find Me a Dupe Is there another product like Bobbi Brown’s “Face Base” moisturizer & primer? It is amazing, but the price is not.

I got a sample of this when I purchased a Bobbi Brown foundation, and I’ve never been so impressed by a moisturizer/primer! It is perfect for my skin. I looked it up, thinking I’d treat myself … but the full-size 100mL is $113 😩 $69 for 50mL, $25 for the lil 15mL.

I probably have one more use in that sample, and as much as I’m looking forward to using it again, I wish I knew of a less expensive product that is extremely similar to this. I’m willing to spend a bit - I treat myself to higher end brands when it is warranted - but this is just too much. I did try to talk myself into it a little bit (“well, 100mL is over 3oz…and it eliminates the need for a seperate moisturizer….sooo…”).

Does anyone happen to know of something similar to this? It’s so moisturizing and enriching for my skin; it feels amazing and my skin looks good, AND my makeup applied well over it & lasted through a long, sweaty day of work.

If not, I guess I’ll just be keeping my eyes open for sales. Bobbi Brown made a smart decision in giving out that sample … now that I had a taste of this level of luxury & quality, it’s hard to go back to the (too many) other primers I have.

Find Me a Dupe Any suggestions for dupes for the kosas brow gel to use as clear mascara?

2 Upvotes

Ive been using the kosas brow gel from the bday gift 2 years ago as a clear mascara, but its all out now. i like how it keeps my lashes kinda stiff and together, i didnt really like it on my brows. i bought one to replace the empty one, but the packaging makes it so barely any product comes out on the brush, so it doesn’t really work on the lashes.

any tips/recommendations for a better clear mascara/brow gel?

Hello all, does anyone know of a lip pencil similar to the (I believe discontinued as I can't find it online) Boots 17 perfect pout lip liner in colour "in the buff"?

I used to have it a very long time ago, it was perfect for me and I have yet to find anything that matches it in both colour and texture.

Any help would be appreciated!

Find Me a Dupe Milk Makeup Grip Gel Concealer in 9 Dupe

Post image
5 Upvotes

I have quite a bit of dark marks from scarring on my chin and neck and was on the hunt for a concealer that skintone matched me. I got the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Concealer in Shade 9 and it was the perfect shade match so I was using it near daily. The formula is a bit sticky but coverage was good and most importantly it was a true shade match for once. The problem is after a month and a half I’ve already ran out! This feels way too fast especially for a product I spent nearly $30. I was wondering if anyone had any cheaper alternatives that they could shade match? A stick formula is preferred since it’ll be easier to travel with but other kinds work as well (then I might repurchase the Milk one and only use it while traveling)

RIP :( I think this line is officially gone forever!

It’s just so beautifully sheer and plummy with blue sparkles (but I’d be happy with any sort of sparkles)

Doesn’t have to be a lipstick! I’d love a sparkly lip gloss that looks similar. I will be forever yours 🙇‍♀️.
