- “They do really have a budge-proof formula on the Fenty Beauty lip liners. They're pretty darn good”
Morphe$7.00Signature Lip Pencilshade · Girl Talk- “Maybe has a little bit more blue in it, but I kind of like that. But as far as the actual formula, it's really close”▶ 1:51
- “It just doesn't last as long as the ones from Fenty Beauty”▶ 2:02
- “No difference, right? And yet you're saving so much money with going for the Morphe. So, I think this is a fantastic dupe”▶ 2:16
K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstickshade · Pillow Talk Fair
Color Sensational Lipstickshade · Peach Buff- “It says it's matte, but it's not that matte. It actually is very creamy”▶ 3:23
- “It probably has a little bit less of a sheen than Pillow Talk Fair from Charlotte Tilbury, but it's really darn close”▶ 3:31
- “When you get it on your lips, you can't feel that this is matte at all. It actually feels more like a satin lipstick”▶ 3:38
- “Look at how close those are. Mhm, I can't believe the color on them is just so good”▶ 3:44
Fenty Beauty$23.00Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizershade · Fuschia Flex
Revlon$8.99Super Lustrous Lip Glossshade · Dusk Darling
Charlotte Tilbury$39.00- “The mist on this is fabulous. I will say I have not found very many that really can come and compete against that mist”▶ 6:53
- “They have these little cold polymers in there, which are little polymers that go in and they airbrush your face. They just make you look like your skin is just flawless”▶ 7:13
e.l.f. Cosmetics$6.00- “This elf makeup mist and set, this has been out, oh my gosh, way before Charlotte Tilbury had hers. Go pair compare ingredients. You're going to be shocked”▶ 7:44

- “It has the same co-polymer in it, the little polymers that fill in pores and make your skin look absolutely flawlessly airbrushed”▶ 8:04
- “The only difference is I'm not crazy about this mist. It's kind of spitty, but I can deal with it because this is so expensive, but this is a huge one, like a double one, and it is so inexpensive”▶ 8:31
- “This is my find for 2026. I am so excited and I am in shock, I'm telling you”▶ 8:20
Olaplex$30- “I have very fine, very limp hair, and this oil is fabulous for my hair”▶ 8:57

- “It has this fantastic smell to it. It is weightless”▶ 9:18
- “You need something that's going to seal it, hold the moisture in. This is what does it. So good”▶ 9:31

Morphe$14Dreamlight Gelee Highlighter Stickshade · Over Ice- “Same exact product, although I feel like the Morphe one feels more cooling”▶ 11:38
- “By the time you get it on your cheeks, you're not going to be able to tell a difference there”▶ 11:50
- “I will say that the Morphe does dry down a little bit, and the House Labs doesn't. I like that because I won't feel like during the day that I feel sticky or anything like that, but I do have that little bit of glow, that little bit of sheen”▶ 11:57
- “I think that they are a fabulous substitution for the House Labs because we can't maybe afford that amount”▶ 12:14

- “For me, this was a no-brainer”
Rare Beauty$27.00Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blushshade · Hope- “You have to be somebody that likes having a glow on their skin. You can't be somebody that just likes a matte blush to in order to wear these”▶ 14:31

- “These are exactly the same. I'm not kidding, they're so close”
