Product Dupes

Product dupes: a university student’s best friend. In case you’re unfamiliar with the term, product dupes, or duplicates, are products that provide the same function as high-end brands but at a fraction of the cost. I scoured makeup blogs, product review websites and my friends’ makeup bags to find the best product dupes to help you get the look on a budget.
