Mummy Make Overs: Make up Dupes Challenge with Beauty Base

When I was approached by Beauty Base to take part in there Make up Dupes challenge I jumped at the chance!

I love make up and I love bargains, bring them both together and what have you got… BOOM this challenge.

A chance to try new make up and try them out next to super expensive high end brands, I would of been crazy not too.

I got to pick 3 Dupe products from Beauty Base and try them up against 3 high end products that I already owned.

For each product I am going to rate there Packaging, Colour Pay off, Staying Power, Price and score out of 10 and would I stick with the High end or Twist and buy the Dupe from now on, so without further a do lets do this!

From Beauty Base I chose W7 Big blush Pallet  an absolute steal at £6.99 to try up against Urban Decay Flushed pallet checking out at a whooping £25.00 so here’s my thoughts-

Packaging-  I love the tin packaging. Super sturdy and wipe clean.

Colour Pay off-  Not as great as I thought it was going to be but with a few good swirls I managed to pick up enough colour to pigment my cheeks. This will however mean the product will not last as long.

Staying Power-  This was okay, But because the pigment wasn’t great to start off with I feel it fell off quite easy.

Price- Amazing price £6.99 for 6 Blushes just over a pound each so you really cannot complain.

Score and Stick or Twist-  I’m going to give this a 5 out of 10 its a neither here nor there product for me and on this occasion I am going to STICK to my high end blush.

Next up I chose the Technic Eyeshaddow Treasury Gold 24 Colour Pallet and pit this up againist Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet.

Packaging-   Again its the classic tin packaging, Whats not to love? It also has a massive mirror which is super handy- Big thumbs up from me.

Colour Pay off-   Great colour pay off i’m really impressed and the brush is fab! Generally you find a free brush is only good for one thing… The bin! Not this one! There is no picture with this one because there will be a makeup look coming soon with this pallet.

Staying Power-  A Star well done Technic you have smashed it. Didn’t budge. Even after a drunken nights sleep because I didn’t wash my face oops.

Price-  £6.99 crazy cheap as I would say this is the equivalent to 2 Naked shadow pallets at £40 a go!!

Score and Stick or Twist– Drum roll please….. I would give this a strong 9 and i’m going to TWIST and buy this from now on and not the Naked pallets.

Last but not least I chose a lippy from Milani Colour statement Lipstick Matte in Blissful. Ive been a sucker for Mac lippy for years and its been my go to treat when I go for a day out shopping to build my Collection but at £22 a lippy I could by 4 of these Milani ones so lets see how they measure up.

Packaging-  Elegant packaging that could pass for high end all day long. I love the peep of colour at the end of the bullet so you don’t have to undo every lipstick to find the one you want.

Colour Pay off-  AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG, Couldn’t believe it with a feather like swipe there was pure pink solid goodness all over my hand.

Staying Power- No lippy stays on me all day as I kiss Parker 3 million times an hour and drink like a fish but this with stood alot.

Price- £6.00

Score and Stick or Twist- I have to give this gorgeous lippy a big fat 10/10 and without a doubt I will be TWISTING and purchasing no more mac because why wouldnt I want to get 4 high quality lipsticks for the price of 1 high end.

 

Over all I am massively impressed with Beauty Base so much so I already have things sat in my basket ready to purchase on payday.

Have you got a product dupe that you tried once and never looked back? I would love to try more if you have some suggestions.

Hope you enjoyed this challenge
