A ‘dupe’ in the beauty world is a product which is almost identical to another, but a lot less expensive. Sure, we might all love the luxury of a little Dior in our lives, but some weeks the budget is more uh, two-minute noodles than Tetsuya’s.

Over the years, I’ve tried a lot of products. Like, I’m talking a shameful amount. You know what I’ve found? Sometimes the price tag doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting a superior product. In fact, a lot of products that I use on a daily basis have much more expensive versions that just don’t live up to the hype.
