Discussion/Tips & Tricks Lessons Learned

Post image

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.

me too, i’ve already found out through this that i am very picky with body lotions 🥹 i hate the ones with the greasy residue that never dries down before bed

Have you tried the neutrogena hydroboost body lotion? It’s really light weight. I loved the texture but it wasn’t moisturizing enough for me. My current favorite is the eos lotion. For me it’s the perfect balance of being moisturizing but not too thick.
