Tell me about your money saving dupes

[tiredofthiisshit21]

I love an expensive brand, but have been looking to cut my spending with cheaper alternatives. My latest discovery is M&S hand soap & hand cream - the orange bergamot & lemongrass is exactly like the Molton Brown equivalent at only a fiver vs £20. There's also a pink pepper version. I will never buy Molton Brown again!

Tell me your favourite dupes please - candles, toiletries, whatever!

I disagree. True it is good but definitely not on same level at all ime

It's not a dupe. It's a wannabe dupe and has a pretty good go at it but it's not close enough to be a true dupe to me. I'd still buy it cos its so much cheaper though

I love the M&S pink pepper perfume @tiredofthiisshit21. It smells a lot like la vie est belle and is only a fiver! I also got another one in their summer beauty bag, I think it’s coconut and something, and that’s lovely too and smells like a decent perfume!

Yeah it's not a dupe, got a totally different consistency. It's ok and lots of people like it.
IMO Astral is a closer dupe of Miracle cream.

Cetaphil cleanser really good. Aldi got cloth cleanser and the Wilkinson green tube mascara.

great thread!

Anyone know of a drug store dupe of the Becca concealer that is in the little pot?

I have that coconut one from the beauty bag. Wore it on holiday in the daytime.

Superdrug's vitamin E hot cloth cleanser is a good alternative to Liz Earle or the even more expensive Elemis version. I like the vitamin E range generally and also use the moisturiser with SPF.

Will go and investigate Aldi, I didn't know they did decent toiletries.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but I can’t be bothered to read through the posts 🙈

Has anyone got any good dupes for liquid blush? I want to try some without spending loads of money.

Perfumes from aldi and lidl.
I'm obsessed and collect all of them. The lidl copies are particularly brilliant.

The Sleek or NYX eyebrow pencils (the twist ones, not actual pencils) are very very similar to one the Bobbi Brown ones and much much cheaper...
The Soap and Glory matte lipsticks are just as good as any more expensive brand ones IMO!

I haven't tried it yet, but Sali Hughes recommended Glossier's After Baume as a dupe for Murad Intense Recovery Cream (my favourite moisturiser of all time).

The Aldi JM dupe perfumes are amazing - I was wearing the pomegranate one at work recently and a colleague made comment about me wearing pomegranate noir - can’t afford JM on my salary so 5.99 at Aldi is a pretty good substitute 😂

yep 👍🏻

The Tesco dupe of a Mars bar in the multipacks tastes much nicer than a Mars bar.

I agree ☝️

and Lidl dark choclate is nicer than lintd

M&S Snickers bars ice cream dupe is loads better than the original
