The Daily Dupe: Makeup Forever HD Foundation

The newest addition to One Haute Mommy is the Daily Dupe, a post dedicated to saving beauty-a-holics, like myself, money without sacrificing quality. "Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.
I love a good dupe, but I typically prefer high-end foundation. Foundation is usually one thing I cannot go cheap on. It just does not end well for me. That's why I was really surprised and impressed with Revlon's PhotoReady foundation and how close it compares to Makeup Forever HD foundation.

Revlon's PhotoReady foundation has a lovely creamy texture that glides on the skin. It's coverage is incredible and the price is unbeatable! One Haute Mommy gives Revlon Photo Ready foundation an A+.

The Daily Dupe: Nars Orgasm Blush

The newest addition to One Haute Mommy is the Daily Dupe, a post dedicated to saving beauty-a-holics, like myself, money without sacrificing quality. "Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.





I have listed other dupes for Nars Orgasm before, however, today I have found the "mac daddy" of Nars Orgasm dupes. Flirt Heartthrow is an exact replica of Nars Orgasm, minus the packaging. Flirts version is not as nicely packaged as Nars, but I will definitely choose saving $22 over packaging any day of the week.  The NARS has a smaller, more compact box, but other than that, there’s little added value. The Flirt one comes with a little brush which is nice and the blushes feel the same!

These liquid blushes are easy to apply and blend with your fingers. This shade is an identical match and the coverage is identical. The best part is that you will save a whopping $23 and there are several other shade dupes! Woot woot!

Maybelline came out with the 24 hour color tattoo cream eyeshadow and they are excellent dupes for MAC paint pots and the best part if that you can almost buy 3 for the price of 1 MAC paint pot. One Haute Mommy gives Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows an A+.

The Daily Dupe: Lancome Hypnose Mascara

The newest addition to One Haute Mommy is the Daily Dupe, a post dedicated to saving beauty-a-holics, like myself, money without sacrificing quality. "Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara is an excellent dupe for Lancome Hypnose Mascara. The ingredients in both mascaras are very similar. The brush shapes are also very similar.

I personally love Maybelline The Falsies Mascara. This mascara does it all, enhances eyelash volume, lengthens lashes and has a nice rich shade. The major difference betweet the two is that Lancome Hypnose will set you back $26 while the Maybelline The Falsies will only set you back $7.

The verdict: I love Maybelline The Falsies mascara and would definitely recommend trying it out. Lancome Hypnose is also an excellent mascara but does cost quite a bit more. One Haute Mommy gives Maybelline The Falsies an A.

The Daily Dupe: MAC Fluidline

"Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.
Eyeliner is the one go-to product for many women.  I notice a lot of my friends will not leave home without their eyeliner on.  MAC Fluidline is a very popular eyeliner, it simply glides on. MAC Fluidline will set you back $15 for .10 oz.  Ouch!

 Elf Cream Eyeliner is an awesome eyeliner dupe for MAC's Fluidline and you get .17 oz for $3. Yep, that's a $12 savings and you get more product and Elf's Cream Eyeliner includes a brush!  Plus Elf is always having sales so you will probably get it for less than $3.  Best part is I actually prefer the ELF Creamliner over MAC Fluidline because I am able to wear ELF's creamliner longer without it fading.

 The verdict, save your money and get the ELF Cream Eyeliner.  It is a great product for 1/5 of the price!  One Haute Mommy gives Elf Cream Eyeliner an A+.

The Daily Dupe: Benefit High Beam

The newest addition to One Haute Mommy is the Daily Dupe, a post dedicated to saving beauty-a-holics, like myself, money without sacrificing quality. "Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.


Benefit is one of my fave beauty brands and High Beam highlighter is one of my favorites. It’s all about the shimmer. This liquid illuminator comes in a soft pink hue that flatters all skintones. It softly reflects light for an instant spotlight effect, plus gives skin a dewy finish. The only downfall to High Beam is the $26 price tag. Without further adieu, meet Elf Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal.

 Elf Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal is as close to a complete replica of High Beam as you can get. The color is the same, the amount of shimmer is the same and it only costs...wait for it...$1. Yep, I said it $1.

The verdict is simple, save $25 and get the ELF version, you will not be disappointed. One Haute Mommy gives Elf Shimmers Facial Whip in Lilac Petal an A+.

The Daily Dupe: MAC Pretty Please Lipstick

The newest addition to One Haute Mommy is the Daily Dupe, a post dedicated to saving beauty-a-holics, like myself, money without sacrificing quality. "Dupe" is short for duplicate and in the beauty world dupes are products that are very similar in appearance and almost always have a wallet-friendly price tag.
Hello Beauties! I am always looking for a good lipstick dupe and today I have found a dupe for MAC's Pretty Please Lipstick. Pretty Please is described by MAC as a pale pearl pink. Pretty Please is a semi-sheer lipstick with a wet looking finish. MAC Pretty Please will set you back $15.

May I introduce Revlon Sky Line Pink lipstick, it is a great dupe for MAC's Pretty Please. Revlon's Sky Line Pink is a limited edition shade that was released in the 2011 Fall Expressionists collection. Sky Line Pink is a bit more frosty than MAC's Pretty Please lipstick but it is not enough to be noticeable. Revlon Sky Link Pink will only set you back $7.49. You can pick up Revlon's Sky Line Pink at Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart and all drug stores.

Honestly, this dupe is to close to even tell a difference between the shades, don't let the pictures above fool you. One Haute Mommy gives Revlon Sky Line Pink lipstick an A+.
