[@HappinessSparkles]

Wow the elf foundation really looks beautiful

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you, I'm loving it!

[@HappinessSparkles]

I’m just so impressed and proves just how great drugstore products are I think your lighting is great 👍 Hugs ❤

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you Frances! I'm so happy I was able to get new lighting! Enjoy your week!🥰🥰

[@JackieNaturals]

You definitely came up with some great dupes.

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you Jackie! It's amazing how some of the more affordable products can look similar but at a fraction of the price.

[@JackieNaturals]

@@melcsmakeupstyle5409 your welcome. So true.

[@annettemohr5375]

Thank you from a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 I appreciate all of your content and honesty! The new lighting is really good too!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you very much! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy the content! Have a great rest of the week!

[@JuliasBBeauty]

Hi Mel. I think the lighting looks good and natural . So funny I think u have almost all these dupes with the sharks except of ELF skin tint and CoverGirl that brand is not selling to Europe. I am glad the LM foundation is so similar to the ELF one because I this case I can't easily get the dupe 😅. I know that ELF Lippies are so similar to Tarte ones I think I mentioned this too when I had my last ELf haul. But yes that gummy stuff is there for me as well. I will skip Dior palette too and stay with the dupe. Thank you for sharing my friend, have a wonderful day and week ahead ❤️❤️😘

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

@JuliasBBeauty thank you Julia! Yes we definitely have similar products, lol. Thanks for always watching and supporting friend! Have an awesome rest of the week! 🤗♥️

[@jayneyp8683]

Really love how you did this video! Always going back to your finished look.. I could immediately tell which one was high end though but the dupes broken down are awesome!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video! 🤗

[@ClaraBarrerabeautyisageless55]

Hi Mel, great affordable alternative products, both sides look beautiful 💕

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you so much Clara! I really appreciate that! Have a great week! 🥰

[@mribaby]

Great video ❤❤❤ Love the drugstore dupes/alternatives!!!!!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤗

[@wendybrown3502]

Loved this Mel! I use so many of the dupes you've presented today! They are all fantastic!❤😊

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you Wendy! I'm glad you liked it! 🤗

[@CandidLy1]

Hello dear Mel! I’ll say I have both the Laura Mercier and Elf foundations and for textured mature skin I’ll say LM is definitely superior. It’s a bit more coverage, finer pigmentation, and better wear especially for oil breakthrough- it’s just a very lovely refining formula that doesn’t lose its blurring effect like Elf does thru the day. I find the L’Oréal Tru Match closer to LMs results but not as glowy. Thank you, good food for thought on these dupes, and really appreciate your effort!💕🎉

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you for watching!

[@karengrimes9114]

Appreciate the alternative products for a more cost effective budget. Can you also share the brand and color of your nail polish? It is so pretty! Thanks.

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Hi Karen, I have it listed in the description box but inserted the links as reference for you. Thank you for watching! 🤗 Sally Hansen Pure Nailpolish (Pink Cardamom) USA:go.magik.ly/ml/25fjq/ CAN: go.magik.ly/ml/25fjr/

[@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot]

I think the lighting was great.

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you! ❤️

[@JackieNaturals]

Hi beautiful, I did guess the drugstore side right & I like it more bc it’s less glowy which is the look I normally go for since I’m oily. 😁 I think the coverage looks good on both side for the concealer. That is a big cost savings with the NYX. I knew when I saw the Dior, the Elf bite size was the dupe. 😂 they are really similar. The bronzers both look the same for sure. I need to try the Elf lippie.

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you for watching Jackie! It was a fun video to create! Have a great rest of the weekend beautiful! 🥰

[@JackieNaturals]

@@melcsmakeupstyle5409 your welcome.

[@lizanderson1669]

It's good to know I can get just as good products for less. I will be trying them out

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

@lizanderson1669 thank you for watching! I'm glad you found the video helpful! 🤗

[@nataliek3717]

Your lighting is very nice!!!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

I'm glad you like it, thank you!

[@cindydewhirst9886]

Great video very informative . Thank you

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful! 🤗

[@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot]

Hi Mel, great dupes! It is so fun to find those AHA moments where you will think I know something like this and it’s from the drugstore! Great job, Mel ❤

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you Mona! I really appreciate that! It's always great finding a much more affordable option. Have a wonderful week and hope things are better for you! 🤗

[@sandragrissom1821]

Great information! You look beautiful! Will you share your nail color? It’s exactly what I need. Thank you! 😊

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! The nail color is Sally Hansen Pure in the shade Pink Cardamom. Perfect for Fall! 🍂

[@Niki-81811]

Dupe videos are one of my favourite ones & this was great Mel. Fantastic products & very much spot on👏 Thank u & as always u look fabulous. Your lighting is great in my opinion 🤗❤️🤗❤️

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you Niki! Dupe videos are so fun to do! Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great rest of the week! 🤗

[@susanjacobsen4567]

Love this dupes video! I also enjoy "high end" makeup but I love saving money if I can get the same look and feel without sacrificing the quality. Today you've given me some new products to try. Thanks!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤗

[@PattiJasso]

The lighting looks great! Your videos are the reason I started wearing make-up again after about 6 years, so thank you!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Oh my goodness, what a lovely compliment! Thank you very much! I'm so happy to hear that you find the videos helpful! Have a wonderful week! 🤗

[@wendygricken3369]

The lighting is perfect now, I agree it's 100% better. Loved this video. I'm definitely buying the CoverGirl Eye Stick

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the CG eyeshadow as much as I do! Have an awesome week!

[@judymcdougall]

Great video ❤

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you very much! 🤗

[@MsBritishwoman]

Always appreciate the close ups and the positivity you bring each week. I'm excited to get the concealer. ❤your channel

[@Zdlifestyle]

Here!! ❤

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you friend! 🤗

[@Dee-Ann_Louise]

Have you ever found a dupe for Tom Ford foundation?

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Hi Dee! No I haven't. TF has such a great formula, but I'm sure there has to be a comparable product out there. 😉

[@nataliek3717]

The NYX Warm Neutrals Palette would have been a better choice for the DIOR Warm Palette!!

[@shayeharris4036]

And what do you have on as nail polish?

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Hi there, I always have the products listed down in the description box. This particular shade is Sally Hansen Pink Cardamom.

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Okkkkk...my guess right at the start of the video is highend on your left side! Take care Lindy

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Ha! Got it...bit of a guess to be truthful! Yep the lighting is good ....I love Elf Soft Glam im happy it compared so favourably...their Cream and sugar mini eye palette is one I've bought 2 or 3 times now Great travel one!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Great guess! Thanks for watching!

[@HappinessSparkles]

Hi mel my fellow Canadian sister ❤

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Hi Frances! Hope you're enjoying the holiday weekend my sweet Canadian sister! 🤗❤️

[@nataliek3717]

I prefer the less expensive side and that NEVER happens!!!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Thank you for watching!

[@iamzmodel]

No way i thought the high end side was the cheap side. 😮
