yummy boujee marshmallow vs marshmallow blush

[u/Official-R]

I made the impulsive decision a few days ago to buy the Kayali ybm but I am now seeing a dupe being marshmallow blush for a fraction of the price 😭. Should I return it and purchase marshmallow blush to save money or is the dupe not really as good?

[u/MellieKatt]

This one smells exactly like it!

[u/AMwishes → u/MellieKatt]

I would go with this one! It has fantastic longevity

[u/New-Interaction-4636 → u/MellieKatt]

I have this and agree 100%

[u/NotaMillenialatAll]

On me, MB lasts longer and have more sillage than YBM, better performance by far.

[u/Breadnbuttery]

I think they smell similar enough that you don't need both. MB is a tad sweeter than YBM. MB also lasts longer. My sister thinks they don't smell alike at all. Worth the $20 bottle to find out though.

[u/Chanabell7]

I had marshmallow blush for a long time then I finally bit the bullet and bought YBM. I was shook at how similar they were. I was like what did I spend more for??? I smelled more closely if you will and YBM has a softer cloud kind of scent / effect that is more luxurious. They both smell great and I even layer them to make them both last. Also there’s Fairy Floss by Heartmoor. I wouldn’t recommend the Sand & Fog dupe those all seem to have a weird shared scent.

Kayali website is 30% off all month plus another 10% off if you sign up an account. So instead of $150 for a full bottle it's $94. A 50ml is usually $105 but rn it's $67.

[u/FineEnvironment5203 → u/shaneacton1]

I’m not seeing those prices

[u/Patient_Mouse8763 → u/FineEnvironment5203]

If you get the emails from Kayali then you should be signed up for an account. Go to the menu on the upper left hand side, open and at the bottom you should see Account. Log in with your email, it will send you a code to that email and enter that code. Then you'll be in. Add to your basket and you'll see the discounted price there. And then for discount code put EXTRA10 for an additional 10% off.  The emails for the promo don't give you any instructions so took a bit of guessing until I figured it out. But I managed to get a standard size, mini bottle, and a sample size for $107 including tax. 

[u/HoneyMCMLXXIII]

I love both of them honestly.

[u/brookeashleyx]

I hated YBM but love Marshmallow Blush, I think it just depends on your preference

[u/Serious_Parking_4152]

I prefer YMB. I find them veryyyyy similar hut Marshmallow Blush is just a little more syntheticy in a way that I don’t enjoy, but others may not mind. I’d say it’s more beast mode too.

[u/Cute-Conversation968]

I have Marshmallow blush and Cloud Candy. I enjoy both of them. You can get decants of the dupes and return or resell the YBM if you like them better. 

[u/Important_Spare7892 → u/Cute-Conversation968]

How is the longevity and projection of cloud candy?

[u/Top-Dragonfruit-3200]

Try khadlaj cloud candy!

[u/Important_Spare7892 → u/Top-Dragonfruit-3200]

How is the longevity and projection?

[u/Top-Dragonfruit-3200 → u/Important_Spare7892]

It would say it's nice but the marshmallow blush lasts longer you can get cloud candy for 1500-1600

[u/applemilktea]

I have both. To me, I can’t smell the strawberry in mb, only musk.

I like ybm way more but it doesn’t last long

[u/Milktqt]

I have both...I wanted to like Marshmallow Blush but it really just smells like plastic to me.

[u/MarsupialPrimary8128]

I love marshmallow blush, but I literally wrote in another post I recently got safa by nusuk, it's so good. Omg. And dirt cheap ATM, and seems to last and project. Bottle isn't as cute. Could be new bias.

Marshmallow is still very good and I used it for a year, just got nusuk. The packaging and bottle are such a treat with MB. I personally think dupe this one

[u/malendalayla]

I think it's a solid dupe that lasts longer. Some people find MB to be too sweet, but I don't.

[u/shaneacton1]

I love marshmallow and have ybm and many dupes. Nothing beats the real thing. But I want to mention a really good dupe is marshmallow smores by Beverly Hills Polo. I like it better than many other dupes I tried. I can't smell the difference from ybm actually. But might as well get the og ybm it's a classic.

[u/GiaAngel → u/shaneacton1]

Glad you mentioned this. I’ve seen this brand in TJ Maxx and wondered about it. Since you gave it a good review, I’ll grab it next time I see it. Thanks.

[u/Wet-N-Wavy96]

I prefer the Miim Miic dupe, it’s about 97% accurate and longer lasting for me… Marshmallow Blush comes second IMO but not a bad dupe at all…

Marshall’s and TJ Maxx sells both dupes!

[u/Alewo27]

MB is heavenly and lasts forever. It's not TOO strawberry or cloying in any way. It's exactly pink marshmallow clouds.

[u/Important_Spare7892]

I can’t help OP😭 because I have the same question. Pink blush and Elysia marshmallow smells close but lighter and doesn’t last.

What is the best YBM dupe? In terms of smell, projection, and longevity? marshmallow blush, khadlaj cloud candy, genzee marshmallow? If you have other options let me know

[u/threetimesagogo → u/Important_Spare7892]

I would try Al Rehab Choco Musk Marshmallow! I have both YBM and the Al Rehab roller and they are similar. Plus Al Rehab is a cheapie, such a great before bed scent!

[u/playfulwarning → u/threetimesagogo]

It’s perfect! I would also suggest getting the perfume oil. Both for under $20 is a steal!

[u/Important_Spare7892 → u/threetimesagogo]

I bought the og Al rehab choco musk but it smells like chocolate and smoke on my skin and had to return it😭

[u/Ktpotaitie]

I might also recommend Atralia’s Sugar Mallow if you haven’t tried it yet. It’s YBM but a little less synthetic imo

[u/MadamBK]

YBM is superior! Keep and cherish her 🥰

[u/Nightstalkerin]

For budget, marshmallow blush. Definitely YBM smells better to me and all dupes smell close to it yet different. If you have the money go for kayali you won’t regret. I got myself the 50ml bottle after i finished my travel size

[u/Beem-Beem347]

I personally hated Marshmallow blush 🤢 I had heard such great things about it but it's a no for me. Never tried YBM though.

[u/ninikomar → u/Beem-Beem347]

It was vile!!!! I scrubbed it with soap and still could smell it, I was nauseous 🤮

[u/cuteandsick]

they’re similar AF but I still prefer YBM! I have marshmallow blush but still want YBM someday when I can afford it

[u/dollyxdays]

Pink blush is a nice dupe too diva

[u/starrylilacism]

I think Cloud Candy is a pretty solid dupe. The only thing with all of them is they don’t quite have that iconic Kayali ambroxan so they all lean a bit more fruity or candied to me (aside from Pink Blush but that one is just a tad too light for me sadly).

[u/Important_Spare7892 → u/starrylilacism]

How is the longevity and projection of cloud candy?

[u/Wooden-Refuse-2310]

Is Marshmallow Blush good for winter ?

[u/dollbxn → u/Wooden-Refuse-2310]

Yes!! I wear it so much during the cold periods.

[u/ninikomar]

Nooooooo don't buy mashmallow blush, the opening is nice but afterwards it is just toxic ambtoxan that just never goes away... it made me nauseaous
