I love these sorts of dupe-like posts that compare a high end with a drugstore product to spot the differences. I am a money saver. What I mean is if I can find an alternative product that won't cost me £20-£30 I will purchase it. I created a spot the difference or 'dupe' post quite a while ago now here and received some wonderful feedback from you lovely lot. So I was over the moon that I have yet again come across another dupe that could save you up to £19 so here I am given you my little secrets to saving you a bit extra money!
The question some of you may be wondering is why do I own two blushers that look identical? Well, I have wanted to try one of the Too Faced Blushers for quite some time now so I had asked for it for Christmas just gone. At the time my Mam had bought me it, Makeup Revolution* kindly sent me a couple of blushers to try out a few weeks later and to my surprise, they looked the spitting double of my Too Faced Blusher. At first, I laughed because it is ridiculous how similar these are from packaging, shades and consistency yet have such a giant price difference. I love blushers, therefore, I knew both of these would get put to great use.
Instead of me repeating myself on how I found both products I thought to write a list of pros/cons that way you are able to spot the differences straight away without reading my rambles!
Makeup Revolution
Pros:
Inexpensive - £4.99
Looks healthy on the cheeks
Easy to apply
All shades mixed together looked stunning
Adds the tiniest amount of highlight/shimmer
Pretty packaging
Cons:
Can look too much if not blended in enough
Wears off after a while
Not pigmented enough
Too Faced
Pros:
Looks healthy on the cheeks
Easy to apply
All shades mixed together look stunning
Adds the tiniest amount of highlight/shimmer
Pretty packaging
Pigmented
Long lasting
Cons:
Expensive - £24
Too pigmented you need the tiniest amount (no clown business!)
Overall these are both very similar to each other apart from the expense and pigmentation they are very identical. I love both blushers equally. I do tend to use the Too Faced heart blusher on days I know I am going to be wearing makeup all day, I am not one for touching up blushers so Makeup Revolution heart blusher gets used if I am popping out for a few hours.
To wrap this post up I would repurchase both of these products again.
Have you discovered any dupes lately??
I can't believe how similar they look, would be nice to see swatches of them next to each other. Will have to check the Makeup Revolution one though now such a bargain!
ReplyDeleteI know I should have maybe done that or see it on my cheeks, I will bare this in mind next time ♥
DeleteWow they look gorgeous! I will definitely be checking out the Makeup Revolution post! Loved this post!

I love makeup dupe posts. I'm hardly ever able to splurge on high end makeup so when I see a dupe I'm all for trying it out.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how similar these two are though. It's crazy!

They look so similar, and ridiculously pretty! If I see it in a shop I don't think I'd be able to resist. I don't mind my blusher fading so I'd probably give the cheaper one a try first. Thanks for sending me your link on #lbloggers chat tonight.

Christ these products are twins! Got to say that for the price you don't really expect massive product payoff for the makeup rev offering, but Too Faced has always been too expensive for me, and they're both divine to look at. Love the pro's+cons list, really helpful :)

Such a good post Katie. There really isn't a lot of difference in them at all. Although I do prefer the Too Faced a touch more.

I have to say I didn't really get on with the Makeup Rev one :( too glittery and not soft enough - however I swatched the Too Faced ones and they are beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteMagpie Jasmine

They literally look exactly same - as if! It's funny how for both of these products you have the opposite cons as well.
ReplyDeleteI know it is scary!
