You Like It? I Luvvv It!!! Pt. I


Hello, good people! I'm back!




Where have I been? Well, I've been helping to spread the beauty bug and while I've been doing that I got to thinking. How can we, those facing this awful recession, afford to splurge on beauty indulgences?




It's simple really...you just need to be aware of the industry's dirty little secret, Dupes. What are dupes? They are drugstore duplicates or knockoffs which rival higher end department store brands. They share many similarities, such as color pay-offs and long-lasting wear, with the exception of price. I took the liberty of compiling a list of some of my favorite finds to help you take out the guesswork. It's pretty extensive, so this will be a four part post. First up, Blush & Bronzers. Enjoy!
