Is the Drugstore Makeup DUPE ACTUALLY Cheaper⁉️🤨 (we’re being scammed 😭)
- “The e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip Primer at Ulta Beauty comes in at $11 for 0.81 oz of product coming in price per ounce $13.56”▶ 1:33
- “And when I said she is sticky, I meant that”▶ 1:45
- “I also think if you like that ultra sticky formula, this does wear really well, and I do really like it”▶ 2:34
- “e.l.f. Cosmetics comes in at $13.56 per ounce”
- “e.l.f. Cosmetics, at least in this case, is not scamming us”▶ 2:33
Milk Makeup$30.00- “I don't think this is as sticky as the E.L.F. Power Grip, but I kind of prefer that because I am someone who has facial hair on their face and I don't shave the hairs on my face”▶ 1:52
- “So, that's why I do prefer this one even though it is more expensive”▶ 2:03
- “Coming in at $30. 1 oz of product coming in price per ounce, $30”▶ 1:40
- “I don't know if you guys could see the stick, but it's definitely not as sticky as the E.L.F. Power Grip Primer”▶ 2:12
- “the Milk Makeup comes in at $30 per ounce”
Morphe$12- “If you have hyperpigmentation, are a brown girl where you have 50 shades of brown on your face like me. A color corrector in your routine can really help even out your skin tone, warm up the areas”▶ 2:54
- “This Morphe corrector, which I've been recommending for the last year or so, is literally $12”▶ 3:06
- “But when I did the beauty math, I was shook. This only has 0.12 oz of product despite being the much larger packaging than the Huda”▶ 3:10
- “I probably use this for about maybe 8 months. Use this almost every single day and I think I'm going to need a new one”▶ 3:29
- “This is like literally an empty. I've used this to the grave”▶ 3:36
- “She's a holy grail for me”
- “I personally will still be purchasing the Morphe corrector purely on the basis of I hate the Huda Beauty packaging”▶ 4:42
Huda Beauty$30.00#FAUXFILTER Color Correctorshade · Mango- “I switched over from the Huda Beauty, not so much of the price, but mostly because of this nasty ass packaging I could not get”▶ 3:40
- “This is my second one, by the way. I literally had to throw the first one out”▶ 3:50
- “I wear the shade mango, and she comes in at $31 for .3 o of product, coming in at $103 per ounce”▶ 3:54
- “I would argue both of these shades are pretty much the exact same”▶ 4:07
NYX$10.00- “These are amazing spot concealers”▶ 5:11
- “If you got hyperpigmentation, acne pimples like me, I love just applying this underneath my foundation and then I get to use less foundation later”▶ 5:13
- “The NYX Pro Fix Sticks comes in at $10 for 0.05 ounces of product. Therefore, it comes out to $200 per 1 oz of product”▶ 5:28
- “She is a magic eraser”
- “For someone who spot conceals rarely and also doesn't really like a drier formula of concealer cuz they're both dry as I would go with the NYX one”▶ 6:55
NARS$36.00Soft Matte Complete Concealershade · Caramel- “This is one of my holy grail pot concealers like ever”▶ 6:03
- “The shade match, the coverage, the wear. I wore this on my wedding day. It's just tea”▶ 6:08
- “She comes in at $36, which you might say is really, really expensive cuz that's what I always get in the comment section when I bring up this concealer”▶ 6:16
- “You get .22 oz of product coming in at $163 per ounce”
- “I've used this almost every single day. I still have this much product in her. I probably have at least another eight months left in this. And I've probably used this for over a year”▶ 6:45
- “If you're someone like me who has consistent hyperpigmentation, acne scars, I would go with Nars here cuz it just makes sense for the price for value at that point”▶ 7:01
- “One thing I was really disappointed in the Revolution Beauty foundation is this shade is supposed to be olive”▶ 7:26
- “This is the Revolution Beauty. It's a lot warmer”▶ 7:39
- “Revolution Beauty retails for $15. Comes in at 0.77 oz of product. Therefore, coming in at $19.48 per 1 oz of product. That's pretty damn good value”▶ 7:48
- “It's been a minute since I've tried this foundation and actually the shade is really not that bad. I think it looks really damn good”▶ 7:57
- “It is on the dewier side”
- “I honestly like the Makeup Revolution Shade Match a lot”
- “I think they're both tea, but I think there's a clear winner here, and that is Makeup Revolution wins this round for price per ounce”▶ 8:49
Armani Beauty$69.00- “Y'all know this is my holy grail as an olive skin brown girl”▶ 7:20
- “I don't have a better shade match than this foundation here”▶ 7:26
- “This is their reformulated foundation. I weirdly like the reformulation even more”▶ 8:14
- “I wear shade 9, and this is one of the few foundations that have seven true olive shades”▶ 8:20
- “Armani has always been for the olive skin girls”
- “I get that she's expensive, and she's not for everyone”▶ 8:28
- “This comes in at $69 for 1 oz of product, therefore coming in at $69 per ounce”▶ 8:30
Morphe$13- “The Morphe contour stick comes in at $13”▶ 9:33
- “Has a really amazing shade range. I believe it has eight or nine shades. This one goes really deep”▶ 9:38
- “She comes in at $13 for 1.45 g of product coming in at $253 per ounce”▶ 9:44
- “From a formula perspective though, I do find her to be a little bit on the drier side, but she does give snatch”▶ 9:50
- “I think there's a clear damn winner and I think she's Morphe”▶ 10:54
Victoria Beckham Beauty$38.00- “This baby retails for $40. I will say she is good though”▶ 9:24
- “I will say the packaging is a lot heavier and more luxe, but honestly, I have literally mistaken both of these in my drawer because I think they look the same”▶ 9:59
- “She is $43, 0.05 ounces of product”
- “The formula of the Victoria Beckham is a lot creamier than the Morphe”▶ 10:15
- “This formula is tea”
- “$1,030 per ounce of product”
- “Seeing that number when I was doing the beauty math, I was like, 'Hell no.'”▶ 10:44
- “I feel like this is giving a little bit of a scam”▶ 10:58
- “Victoria Beckham has like four [shades]”▶ 11:01
Camo Liquid Blushshade · Suave Mauve- “When E.L.F. liquid camo blushes came out, they made it so obvious who they were coming after because both of these shades are also basically the damn same and also one of my favorite shades ever, too”▶ 11:09
- “I find that E.L.F.'s. It's a little bit less spreadable”▶ 11:24
- “This is my favorite shade from the E.L.F. Camo CC blushes. This is Suave Mauve. Cuz it is a little bit more of a muted shade”▶ 11:35
- “This one retails for $8 with 0.13 oz of product coming in at $61.50 per ounce”▶ 11:42
- “E.L.F. is basically $62 per ounce”
- “The winner here is clearly E.L.F”▶ 12:39
Rare Beauty$24.00Soft Pinch Liquid Blushshade · Encourage- “Selena's is so incredibly pigmented and blendable”▶ 11:31
- “I do find this shade to be a little bit cooler toned than Suave Mauve, but it still looks really pretty”▶ 11:58
- “She comes in at $25 with 0.25 oz of product. So double the amount of product as E.L.F. but comes in at $100 per ounce because she is $25 versus $8”▶ 12:08
- “Because of how pigmented Rare Beauty is, I use less of the Rare Beauty blush compared to the E.L.F. blush”▶ 12:20
- “I'm probably going to get more wear out of this if that makes sense because it goes a longer way than E.L.F”▶ 12:28
- “I do feel like I will have never and probably will never finish a Rare Beauty blush on the basis of it being so damn pigmented”▶ 12:42
NYX$18.07- “This is the new NYX Professional Makeup Wonder Snatch Powder”▶ 13:25
- “Every influencer and their mom, cat, dog, grandma, and daughter were saying that this was a dupe for the viral Huda Beauty powder”▶ 13:28
- “She retails for $12, only has .2 ounces of product, therefore coming in at $60 per ounce”▶ 13:52
- “She is literally so tiny”
- “I also found this powder to give me a little bit of flashback because it does have mica in it”▶ 14:06
- “I also just wasn't that impressed with the formula and it happens to be pretty damn expensive for a drugstore powder when you do the price per ounce math”▶ 14:10
- “NYX is talc free”
- “I feel like it's kind of almost highlighting the texture that's around here because it has mica”▶ 14:46
- “I wore this for 2 weeks every day and I'm almost out of it”▶ 14:57
- “I think if you are especially a combo skin oily gal, you need a good setting powder. I would definitely recommend buying one that you won't have to replenish every 2 weeks because this one, baby, you're going to have to be buying this every like 3 weeks if you wear powder every day like me”▶ 15:16
Huda Beauty$29.00Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powdershade · Banana Bread- “I am a Huda Beauty powder lover. I will literally die in the grave with this powder”▶ 13:39

- “She retails for $39, has .71 oz of product, over double the NYX setting powder, and comes in at $54.93 per ounce”▶ 14:32
- “This is way more blurred, way more matte”▶ 14:44
- “I think we have a clear winner here and that is the Huda Beauty Easy Bake Powder. Wins price per ounce. And I'll be honest, I also think it wins for formula”▶ 15:02
- “I've had one of these probably for over a year now, two years. I wear this every single day”▶ 15:13
- “I would definitely recommend buying one that you won't have to replenish every 2 weeks”▶ 15:23

- “She's $42. Comes with 0.14 oz of product coming in at $300 per ounce of product”▶ 16:21
- “Clearly way over double than ColourPop”▶ 17:13
ColourPop$7.00- “I love me a ColourPop eyeshadow, especially a ColourPop Super Shock eyeshadow because these come in at $7, but only have 0.07 oz of product coming in at $94 per ounce”▶ 3:57
- “Even though she's not as pigmented as Patrick Ta, I feel like she does give you that really pretty scattered glitter effect”▶ 16:56
- “I feel like I could build up the ColourPop to the Patrick Ta shade”▶ 17:17
- “I feel like now they're comparable”▶ 17:27
- “I think there's a pretty clear winner here and that is ColourPop coming in at seven bucks. You can't go wrong with the $7 eyeshadow”▶ 17:35
Revlon$11.99- “This is Revlon's Glass Shine lipstick. I feel like it was going super super viral in 2023 about maybe 2 years ago”▶ 18:11

- “It retails for $26. has 0.3 o of product coming in at $86.66 per ounce of product”▶ 18:53
- “I feel like Fenty is definitely a lot thicker. So, it definitely has more cushion and more grip”▶ 19:07
- “Damn, I feel like I can barely tell the difference outside of this shade being slightly more pinky”▶ 19:10
- “I think we have a clear winner here and that is Fenty Beauty”▶ 19:16
- “These are tea. It makes me feel like a Barbie”▶ 19:27

- “They're both still damn good setting sprays and I honestly love them both”▶ 20:58
