They don't create or design anything they sell. A lot of their stuff is just from AliExpress. They're a highly unethical company and it's sad to see so many people blindly supporting them without doing research to make sure they're a brand worth supporting

[@Hi_Kikii]

@@cecdoglover I know and understand what you mean. Sure other Brands or High Street Retailers have so called „dupes“ but never exactly the same… The fact that Cider has 1:1 copies is either huge coincidence or bad research from Cider purchasing department too. Wish you a nice evening or day Cora 🙂

I just ordered the sweven perfume from Oakcha, they have a sale running right now, I got it for like $10 cheaper! I’m so excited! It was $45 with shipping included. Thanks for the recommendation! I ordered a tiny sample size (0.75ml) of baccarat rouge 540 from microperfumes and that small amount was $10! The scent was beautiful but I could never afford to pay $500+ for a full size bottle of any perfume so I’m so excited for the inspired version! Also I think the “cloud” perfume smells really similar to BR540 but not exactly the same and cloud doesn’t last very long on me for some reason. Ok. Well. That was a lot to write! 😂 I would consider myself a perfume addict! I love it!

The only stick foundation I’ve ever owned is the Tom Ford stick foundation and while it is around $90 (I bought it at the Estée Lauder Outlet for $30) it actually has a TON of product! I only use that one every once in a while because I like more of a luminous finish(I use it lately more with the CT Flawless Finish underneath) and I’ve had that darn stick for like 2 years!! Lol. Maybe even 3 because I lost a year in 2020. Lol. It’s still perfectly fresh and now paired with the CT has been my go to when I want a more full coverage foundation! Maybe there is something to the luxury brands vs just the regular Sephora brands??? Although I did hate the TF bronzer, although I may have just needed the 1st shade instead of the 2nd?? Lol

[@saraashkir5793]

In my experience, there are certain things where luxury brands do make a difference in vs other products. Things like mascara, eyeliner, blush, highlight, bronzer, etc can be pretty good in the low end to mid range pricing and brands, you just gotta hunt for them. Eyeshadow, powder, concealer, primer is usually best in the mid range but some high end makes sense. Foundation is also good in mid range and high end. There’s just some products that are hard to formulate cheaply (but you can make do in a pinch). While other things like blush is just stupidly inflated for no reason

[@veronicabrown7614]

For that crochet top: anything crochet is handmade as machines can't copy crocheting techniques like they can with knitting. So crochet items are just going to cost more.

Honestly, when your camera was not zoomed in close on your face, I couldn’t see the the swaths of makeup you’d drawn before you blended. I thought the color was a really good match. Expensive yes, but I thought it looked very nice. And the blush did make you look “lit from within”. I thought it was pretty. The “beige debacle” reminds me of when our house was built. It was an experimental city/private builder collaboration. Now the reason I bring this up is because we were committed to buying this house while it was being built. Therefore we got to choose the wood finishes, flooring, paint and carpet color. We chose a carpet color similar to your top with a faint blush tone called Cameo Blush. Since my MIL lived next door, we knew when they did things like the carpet. We saw carpet scraps on the porch, but they were very clearly grey. No question. We called the builders. They told us we didn’t know what we were talking about. We still had a sample and protested. They weren’t happy with us, but they called the supplier. He was honestly apologetic (unlike the jerk general contractor company owners) and agreed that whatever dye run that was, it definitely was *not* the color we ordered. He had his installers out very quickly after confirming that the replacement order was indeed the correct color. Give your top a faint hint of blush and make your pants more grey than green and you have our carpet debacle. Those are not the same color and I don’t care what Cider says. Those pants aren’t beige.
