  • 2023 has just started and there are so many drugstore makeup dupes already! I have a theory about why so many brands are turning to dupes and I also wanted to share my thoughts on these new dupes and whether they're truly like the originals!

    I did some research on makeup. I was curious as to why drugstore makeup was getting more expensive and this is what I found out. The actual product to make like let’s say eyeshadow is really, really cheap. It’s like $3.00 and that’s with the expensive brands too. It’s super cheap to make the actual makeup. The 1st price increase comes from the packaging (drugstore is using better packaging). The 2nd and the highest price that has gone up is for marketing the products. That’s for paying people to push the product (influencers) and adds and commercials. So while the makeup is cheap to make you are still getting the up charge for the marketing and packaging. Also I found out that when you buy luxury makeup you are not necessarily getting a better quality of makeup. You are paying extra for the “name”. I’m so happy that the drugstores are doing dupes. Now, if I see something that I want that is way out of my price range I’ll just wait on the dupe.

    • @PersianPowergirl
      @PersianPowergirl 2 года назад +30

      @HerGreyness correct. Which is why the original products are so much more expensive than the dupes that come out later. Either way I love dupes coz sometimes they're actually better than the original because they've taken the original formula and tweaked it according to customer feedback.

    • @midlifemom5829
      @midlifemom5829 2 года назад +23

      Occasionally the high ends have colors/shades i prefer and no matter how hard i search, some dupes don't come close enough in how i want the color to translate on my skin . So it depends on how much im willing to compromise. I usually choose drugstore for eyeliner, brow products , lip balms, mascara, and bronzers

    • @JenPhelps
      @JenPhelps  2 года назад +94

      Another factor in the price increases, particularly with brands like L'Oreal, Maybelline, Revlon and CoverGirl are that they're made in the US and they have to pay their workers a lot more. In many states minimum wage keeps going up (it's $15 in my state!). Not to mention it just costs more all around to manufacture here, not just labor but also electricity, rent, taxes, etc which is why many brands choose to manufacture in China.

      @@JenPhelps glad you mentioned that, the location of where the products are produced, which brings me to the following conclusion. That you’re basically condoning the egregious human rights issues or plight of the Chinese people. They work 60 hours a week for $2.00 so yeah, their prices are low. Why would you endorse products from a country that’s known for brutalizing it’s own people in ways that we actually went to war over in WWII, concentration camps and all??? Or is cruelty free only for animals and humans don’t count?

    Hi, Jen. I've been buying the NARS Audacious lipstick in the shade Barbara for many years. Each time I had to cough up the money to pay for it (it's gone up to $34 now), I cry just a little. Recently, I purchased the new e.l.f. O face lipstick in the shades dirty talk and effortless. I agree with you 100%. They are an exact dupe for the NARS lipstick. I'm so glad that I no longer have to spend so much money for my favorite lipstick!

    So happy that drugstore makeup is finally getting better, and realizing that consumers want better for their money. I sometimes want the drugstore dupe to the high-end because that's what my budget allows. When I try the dupe and compare it to the high-end I sometimes like the drugstore packaging, formula or color more than the pricier brand. Thanks for always bringing us the best dupes.

    I love the Elf lipsticks! Great color payoff. And I agree that they are much better than their other tube formula that I've tried. Plus, if you buy off the Elf site, you can get great discounts. Between this, the mascara dupe, and their skincare, Elf is killing it imo

    I totally agree with you about drugstore wanting to compare their pricing to high end products instead of their old pricing, especially elf since they have always had really low pricing. I love elf, I think they are really killing it. Their quality has increased dramatically and more thought and detail has went into their packaging as well. I haven't tried the sunscreen yet, but I've tried the halo glow, the lash and roll and the new lipsticks. They are all fabulous. The only high end counterpart I've tried is the roller lash and the elf is just as good imo. Always love the dupe videos!

    I’ve been a life long drugstore makeup lover. The brands have definitely gotten better but imo they have always been really good. I do buy “high end” products but it’s rare. I’ll just wait for my favorite drugstore brands to come out with similar products.
    Thank you for another great video Jen. I know you will always be truthful when talking about a product. I absolutely appreciate you for that. ❤

      Also a life long drugstore makeup wearer and lover. I just can't bring myself to pay the high price for essentially the same products. I do have some higher-end things I received as gifts, and I'm glad to have them, but for most of them, I have something in my drugstore stash that works just as well.

    • @20thcenturyrelic
      @20thcenturyrelic 2 года назад +1

      I use as many drugstore products as possible. I can usually find satisfactory products for mascara, blush, pencils, powder and brushes. (ELF and Sonia Kashuk at Target have great brushes.) I've looked at the Sephora store brand brushes, and they look good and feel soft, but I haven't actually used them.
      Foundation, concealer, unscented lipstick, and matte eye shadows are harder for me to find at a drugstore price point.

    I agree with you about dupes flooding the market. I'm not sure if companies are don't themselves a favor in terms of branding/brand recognition/USP. I think some companies capitalizing on the trend and people hunting for dupes, e.g. elf pricing a lipstick at $9. I also think it's becoming less about the product, but in part about owning a 'luxury style' product. Hence the packaging. I love your in depth, honest and down to earth takes on products. So refreshing! ❤️

I have tried the Revlon foundation and it is pretty. Recently I purchased the physician formula butter foundation. I fell back in love. The physician formula butter foundation and elf halo powder are a perfect combination. I just feel no one talks about old products anymore. It’s always onto the new. This yr I’m just purchasing drugstore products plus enjoying the makeup I have.

Right now CVS had $3 off $9 on all ELF products, so you can try the lipstick for only $6 and if you have additional coupons you can use them too and end up paying like $3 for a lipstick that is originally $9 that performs just as well as a $30 lipstick, it’s heaven for me! I do not complain! Keep the dupes coming elf!

I am so impressed by the whoa glow! The lip lacquer on the other hand is very thick & sticky (not in a bad way- i just expected it to be more like a lip oil) & also dries my lips out when it wears off. It's too bad because it looks beautiful & does last. I can't really complain since they're $3 but I figured I'd comment in case anyone has been eyeing them.

    • @swesttttt
      @swesttttt 2 года назад +5

      To be fair, some high end products are even more scented than drugstore! I mean some of them smell nice, but I still don’t want that crap on my face.

    • @JenPhelps

      Yes! The "luxury" brands tend to have floral scents. Dior, Givenchy, Chanel and many more do this!

      I'm very fragrance sensitive & tbh I found the higher end/ designer brand cosmetics to be bigger offenders for overly fragranced products. They have signature scents (Chanel, Dior, etc) & it's like putting perfume on your face. Same goes for TooFaced scented eyeshadow palettes & Tarte smelling like Playdoh. J & K beauty is also very scented, either sunscreen or floral-ugh. Only Covergirl was a problem with that strong Noxema scent. I was very disappointed in Physicians Formula adding fragrance. They were originally marketed as the scent free, sensitive skin brand & I exclusively bought from them, Almay & Neutrogena back in the 80s, 90s & early oughts.

    I really loved the Elf primer/sunscreen, but has to return it because it broke me out. Like hives break out. I didn’t care for the elf mascara, but I’m not a fan of the Benefit one so not sure what I was expecting😂 I do love the Elf lip. I’m also a fan of the Nars formula and they are THE SAME! I also love the Flower beauty highlighter that is a dupe for the CT. I have been enjoying the Revlon color-stay foundation for dry skin. I read somewhere it is a dupe for NARS Reflecting light foundation and the Rare beauty foundation. Im not sure, but I do love the Revlon one. Great dupe video! I really appreciate how you explain why they are or aren’t dupes❤️

    Hey, Jen. Another great video. I just reviewed the Whoa Glow and LOVED it. I'm not much for glowy products considering I have oily, mature skin (glow can often emphasize texture), but this was great even on my skin. Worked great under makeup, didn't affect the wear time, didn't make me more oily by the end of the day. elf is crushing it lately.

Most can, but sometimes nothing beats the original. Thank you for sharing this video! I have some of these dupes already and I want to try some of the others, like the ELF lash N roll. I’ve been hearing a lot of ppl rave about it. I already have the Revlon foundation to try 😊I did not buy the Make up by Mario one just bc of the price. Im hoping I love the Revlon one tho. Always looking forward to the next upload 🎉 take care of YOU and keep on shining! 💖💗💫🌟⭐️
