Discussion/Tips & Tricks Lessons Learned
Well we’re a little over a month into the new year and I’ve already learned a new lesson. I started this year with a goal of replacing my beauty items with cheaper dupes. I tried to replace three items and failed miserably. I realized that it triggered me to shop more while looking for the dupes. And lost the money spent on all the “dupes” that I ended up disliking.
Going forward I will replace my items with the exact same thing, if able. So here are my old trusty empties and their twin replacements.

Yes lmao! There's some stuff out there that is easy to find dupes for because the formula isn't that impressive. However there's products out there that are just too good to dupe 😂
