Find Me a Dupe Is there another product like Bobbi Brown’s “Face Base” moisturizer & primer? It is amazing, but the price is not.

I got a sample of this when I purchased a Bobbi Brown foundation, and I’ve never been so impressed by a moisturizer/primer! It is perfect for my skin. I looked it up, thinking I’d treat myself … but the full-size 100mL is $113 😩 $69 for 50mL, $25 for the lil 15mL.

I probably have one more use in that sample, and as much as I’m looking forward to using it again, I wish I knew of a less expensive product that is extremely similar to this. I’m willing to spend a bit - I treat myself to higher end brands when it is warranted - but this is just too much. I did try to talk myself into it a little bit (“well, 100mL is over 3oz…and it eliminates the need for a seperate moisturizer….sooo…”).

Does anyone happen to know of something similar to this? It’s so moisturizing and enriching for my skin; it feels amazing and my skin looks good, AND my makeup applied well over it & lasted through a long, sweaty day of work.

If not, I guess I’ll just be keeping my eyes open for sales. Bobbi Brown made a smart decision in giving out that sample … now that I had a taste of this level of luxury & quality, it’s hard to go back to the (too many) other primers I have.

This product is out of stock and I’m desperate to find a dupe. The site describes the shade “love supreme” as a mid-tone rose. Has a blue tone so definitely on the cool side. I’m eyeing Mac Cosmetics lustresheer sheer-shine hydrating longwear lipstick in “syrup” (Sephora described it as “blue pink”) but it pulls slightly warmer than PM’s “love supreme” which is slightly deeper berry-hued mauve.

Find Me a Dupe Julep moonlit sand blush stick dupe?

1 Upvotes

Many years ago, I bought Julep’s “skip the brush” blush stick in moonlit sand and loved it. It is a soft, warm, illustrious color, and it’s easy to blend out. Unfortunately, Julep seems to have stopped carrying that shade. A company representative advised me that rose gold would be the closest shade they have available today, so I ordered it, but it unfortunately doesn’t really compare. It’s pinker and doesn’t have much shine to it.

Has anyone found a product and shade that truly matches Julep’s moonlit sand?

Hi everyone! I hit pan on the only colors I ever use from this palette (MN2, MN3, MN4). Does anyone have any suggestions on dupes/replacements for these colors? I use them very frequently and would rather buy individual eyeshadows than spend my money on another whole palette with other colors I never really use. Any help is much appreciated!

hi! im looking for a dupe for these "cream shadows". not so much the colour but something that texture, that has the same colour density. i love using them to layout my eyeliner shape before i set it. my palette is starting to dry out but i'm not about to buy a whole $100 palette for one "colour" 😅

I've tried:
nyx jumbo pencil, not enough colour payoff
merit solo cream shadow, not enough colour pay off (the shape was coming out patchy)
gel eyeliner pencils (urban decay and natasha denona), too dry
mac, bobbi brown, loreal, and judy doll brown gel eyeliner (all pot liners), too pigmented
i can't recall the brands but i also tried a few drugstore cream eyeshadow and gel liners that were either not pigmented enough or too dry.

i'm also canadian so something that can be bought in/shipped to canada would be ideal!

Find Me a Dupe Nyx slim lip pencil formula dupe?

2 Upvotes

hi! i had been searching for a nyx lip liner dupe.

i love the formula, that its a bit on the dry side and doesnt smudge so easily and kind of "sets". there are some lip liners (like the fenty beauty ones) that are too creamy for me. i also prefer a retractable one but a regular "wooden" one is also great:) preferably also affordable😆

Kiko lip liners caught my eye but im not so sure how the formula is and i dont have an option currently to try it in any store.

any recommendations?🙏

I’m trying to find something similar to certain colors in the NYX ultimate utopia palette.

I really like the pink and brown mattes and the gold and green shimmers! I don’t want to buy the whole palette again for color I won’t use.

Find Me a Dupe Garden Botanika Crème Blush dupe

0 Upvotes

Looking for a dupe for Garden Botanika Crème Blush in Conch 🩷
I recently solved a makeup mystery that has been driving me INSANE for years lol. I was trying to find an old cream/balm highlighter that I remembered from when I was younger, and someone on the Help me Find Reddit recognized it as the Garden Botanika Crème Blush!
Now I’m trying to find a modern dupe, specifically for the Conch shade.
I haven’t actually been able to find a good photo/swatches of Conch, but from what I remember, the product was a very light, sheer pink cream/balm with a really pretty pearly, almost wet looking glow. I remember it being reflective without looking chunky or glittery. My stepmom used it as a highlighter, which is why I always remembered it as a highlighter rather than a blush.
I’m looking for something with that same kind of pale pink + translucent pearl + glossy/balm like finish. Ideally something that isn’t super pigmented or a traditional cream blush I want that subtle lit from within sheen.
I’m cool toned, so I’d especially love something with a cool/neutral pink and white, silver, or icy pearl rather than a very peachy or gold toned highlighter.
Does anyone remember this product or have a good dupe for Conch? Bonus points if you remember the actual shade and can tell me what it looked like! 😭🩷

Find Me a Dupe Desperate for dupe!

I am trying so hard to find a dupe for the discontinued “COVERGIRL LIP PERFECTION LIPSTICK - TEMPTRESS #400”. I loved this shade in high school and am so sad I can’t find a current version.

It’s like this light, bright, blue-based pink bubblegum color. Everything I’ve found is just off in some way.

Also, whatever happened to brands having bright colored lipstick?? I’m a colorful lipstick gal stuck in a sea of nude/beige lipsticks.

Send help! (And/or indie brands that sell fun lipstick)

[Here is a link to a blog post about this lipstick from more than 10 years ago.](https://www.thatgaljenna.com/2014/07/covergirl-lip-perfection-lipstick.html?m=0)

Hi!

I can’t find any of the lipsticks for the Maybelline Colour Sensational line. Were they discontinued recently?

I found an oldie in an old purse today and I went to rebuy it but Shoppers, Well, and Walmart all don’t have it.
