Being a girl is expensive, let me tell you. Especially if you're into all the "girly" stuff such as getting your hair done, buying new makeup, getting that spray tan, nails painted, new shoes, new clothes, and the list goes on. It is hard to balance it all when you don't have an endless amount of money to spend because who does anyways? I have always tried to buy the best makeup possible that is in my budget because I want to somewhat care about what ingredients I put all over my face. However, sometimes that $30 I could save by going with the drugstore makeup rather than Sephora makes the bad ingredients seem less... bad.

I have used all of these products, the high-end and drugstore and finally have put together a list of my top dupes! The same type of product that delivers the same results, but a prettier price tag.

1. Setting Powder Dupe.

Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder

Instead of using Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder that costs $38 at your local Sephora store (my holy grail), try this Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder... You will not be disappointed. It sets my makeup exactly the same! The main difference would be the smell. Coty tends to have more of a baby powder smell, but what's so bad about that?

2. Mascara Dupe.

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Mascara

Instead of using Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced which is totally worth the money... but, want to save a few bucks as I do, try L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash. I actually stopped purchasing the Too Faced mascara for this one. It's less half the price, $24 vs $7.49 and works exactly the same. It even comes in the same packaging with the same brush too! So worth it, I swear. Click on the picture to shop it at Target!

3. Dry Shampoo Dupe.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Instead of using Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo, trade it in for the Batiste Dry Shampoo. I am a firm believer in dry shampoo and I literally could not live without it. But, I don't want to spray this sticky powder into my hair... but also don't want to spend $23, Batiste only comes out to a whopping $6 at Walmart! I use this dry shampoo multiple times a week. I swear I do take a shower, cmon. But, this dry shampoo doesn't build up on my scalp, only takes a few sprays to get rid of any oils, and is totally a dupe for Living Proof.

There are some things you really love that just don't have a price tag, but if you're willing to trade in a few money hungry items for these more affordable products, your wallet will thank you! I use these dupes myself. I wouldn't vouch for any product that I didn't truly love as well.
