I've recently replaced all of my make up and have made the switch from high end to cheaper brands I used to buy lancome, Clinique, ysl, dior, mac, benefit and urban decay however when everything needed replacing I didn't feel I could justify 400 pounds plus so now switched to a couple of cheaper brands
The best switches I've made are
Elf primer instead of soft box saving 20.00
Make up revolution eyeshadow pallet instead of urban decay naked pallet saving 33.00
I literally can not tell the difference between high end and cheap and cheerful so what are your best dupes/switches?

I have bought the W7 Absolute Lashes , not tried it yet but the tube is as near as dammit a twin for Benefits They're Real
And a W7 Flirty Eyes which looks like a Rimmel (not a huge saving there but I'll give it a try)
I like NYX , I bought the micro eyebrow pencil in Taupe but my DD seems to have 'positively poached' (ie stole) it.
I like Sleek but not the much applauded Rose Gold blusher (dupe for Nars Orgasm) , way too glittery. My all time favourite blusher is a Laura Geller but it cracked and went all meh , had to go ,though I'd had it maybe 6 years ?
Barry M metallic liners - not a dupe as far as I know but I love them, soft but long lasting.
I cannot use Aldi creams , they run into my eyes and sting like billy-o
But I'm having great sucess with Superdrug Optimum at the moment 
@Fosterdog123 was dispatched yesterday so waiting at the door for the postman
This thread is awesome! I have so much googling to do
I second the NYX recommendations. I love the Lip Lingerie matte liquid lipsticks. Bedtime Flirt is the most fantastic colour for bringing out blue eyes, and it applies like a dream and lasts ages. Not too drying for a long wear matte product either. I also love their Soft Matte Lip Creams and Lip pencils too. So bargainous for the quality.
Can anyone recommend me a cheap dupe for the ABH Modern Renaissance palette?
