Dupe Alert!! Benefit '10' vs. W7 'Double Act'

A video went up on my YouTube channel about a week ago, all about two Benefit dupes I have come across. The posts would be all too much and photo heavy to put them both in the same post, so the Benetint v. MeMeMe 'Pussy Cat' will be up tomorrow morning!

W7 'Double Act' vs. Benefit '10'

My version of '10' is a gift set type thing, so to compare packaging, I have photographed the 'Double Act' next to my box of 'Sugarbomb'.

Pretty similar packaging, don't you think?

Now, onto the actual goods! 

The 'Double Act' actually claims to be a blush/bronzer duo, instead of highlight/bronzer, but when they are swatched the blush isn't all that pigmented, just slightly more pink toned than the '10' highlight.

As for the price, I paid €3.99 for the 'Double Act' and '10' retails at €30 or £25 here.

So, what do you think? Is Benefit 10 worth splashing out on?

Personally I am quite impressed with the W7, it has more than a passing resemblence to Benefit!

I'd love to hear your opinions! :o)

Sunglasses..... dupe?

So, we all love dupes right? How about a sunglasses dupe?

Enter these babies.... 

Uncanny huh?!

And for the not so grand price of.... 

WOW?! Although this probably does slightly hint at my too much of a dupe to be ok theory, especially as the name includes 'Coco'. But who honestly can complain?

PS. I posted a new YouTube video, 50 random questions! Check it out if you like and let me know what you think. :o) 

Naughty Naughty! Copycat products

So yesterday, in my ELF haul I mentioned the uncanny resemblance of the Studio blush to a NARS blusher.  

Can you see the similarities?

Same clasp opening, same outer packaging, same inner packaging. The only difference is that ELF is shiny plastic and NARS is rubbery and matte. Also, the ELF blush has a window below the mirror. 

Even more so, take a look at the bottom of the blushers, they both have the raised bottoms in the same shape AND as you can see on the right, they are the exact same size.

Needless to say, the product isn't comparable in the slightest. Full review of that to come.

Still not convinced? Look at the film inserts in the blushers.

 Also on my naughty list for today are the MeMeMe benefit dupes. I only own Benefit Poppy Tint (how old is my bottle? I''m pretty sure I bought this when it first came out ugh! But I do know that MeMeMe stock a range of tints/highlights that are all too comparable in name and packaging. Below is the only one I own from MeMeMe, the Pussy Cat tint (Reviewed here).

Here is the full range that they sell:

L-R Pussy Cat (Benetint), Poppy Tint (Posie Tint), Sun Beam (Moon Beam), Beat the Blues (High Beam)

Have any of you tried these? Are they benefit-comparable or is it just in the packaging/product/name?

Honestly I love dupes and I get quite a buzz from finding them, however in these two instances I think it's a step too far.

I would love to hear your opinion..
