I found a $5.99 dupe for Urban Decay’s fan-fave palette at Aldi – a Benefit mascara dupe I bought was even cheaper
A FRUGAL beauty enthusiast has found dupes for pricy cosmetics - and she's not gatekeeping them.
She said she found alternatives for makeup like Urban Decay and Benefit for a fraction of the cost at Aldi.
Ashley (@ashleyandblairbeauty) filmed herself strolling the aisles of the budget-friendly store in a video on TikTok.
"I'm buying my makeup from Aldi, which I know sounds crazy because they don't normally carry items like this, but these look so good and the prices are beyond amazing. I have to try it," she said.
She found a $3.99 mascara called They're Brilliant — which she said "clearly looks like" Benefit's They're Real mascara, $29.
"The lighter blue packaging is the waterproof version," she added.
She also found a dupe for her eyeshadow at the budget-friendly grocery store.
"These eyeshadow palettes also look really nice," she said.
"Now this is a large full-size eyeshadow palette with a lot of neutral natural brown shades, something you could definitely use every day."
She compared it to Urban Decay's Naked Heat palette, $59.
"Here at Aldi it's only $5.99 and they have a couple different color options," she added.
However, she decided to skip out on the Aldi eyeshadow.
"I don't need a new eyeshadow palette, so I think I'm going to pass on that, but I'm definitely gonna grab one of these concealers," she said.
Ashley noted that they look just like the Tarte Shape Tape, $31 — but these are only $5.99.
"They look really, really nice," she said.
The video drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
"Last month they had Benefit box blush and highlighter dupes. I never picked one up because I have more makeup than Broadway, but they looked good," one wrote.
"I got a bronzer and I really like it," Ashley replied.
"I bought that eyeshadow it's not bad and the metal cases are pretty good quality they come in," another added.
