[@kemberlymclain5800]

I adore when you do these videos----LOVE THEM! BTW, I am a fan of the Loreal lippies but, lately, I've been more drawn to the Revlon lippies, they seem to stay put a bit longer (I have no idea about any "dupe" shades though)

[@monicapatton1405]

I have and love the Revlon Glimmer Drops. I put a tiny dot on the back of my hand and preblend like I do with all liquid and cream products and apply. It looks flawless & stays on all day. For me I tried the Hourglass in store & went to drop out a drop to look at the formula & a whole messy half the package came out all over my hand and jeans. Was an instant no for me. Granted it was a tester but still.

[@ediedodson6902]

I love dupe videos. Keep them coming.

[@carolwong9279]

I don’t love the L’Oréal scents but I still buy their lipsticks because I love many shades. Revlon lipsticks are the best because they emollient without scents. I have several CT lipsticks but I don’t think they are worth the price. Thanks for the video.

[@kam.26]

Wow. Anaphylaxis nut allergy here. Thanks for the PSA re hazelnut in the Clarins lip product. I had no idea. I really hope they have a giant nut allergy warning on their package because it doesn’t require ingestion for people like me to have a full attack. Simply placing something on my lips is good enough to trigger a potentially lethal episode.

[@joannievh2071]

I always love your dupe videos! I agree that people use the term dupe very freely and now I know what really is one! ❤

[@juliemerry1325]

I can't tell which eye. Appreciate your honesty on these products!

[@tracytKthompson]

I ❤your dupe videos! They are always so close!

[@megan4011]

LOVE this video 🎉😊 Thank you SO much Hun , & I've been waiting for someone I trust to compare the elf pallette to Mario ❤ I'm sold & you're beautiful ❤ I love that Risa always talks about you being her good friend & I trust her too 🙏 God bless!!

[@lesliedemarco1691]

ELF on the right eye? To be honest, I really can't tell! But I am buying the ELF palette NOW!

[@libertychic8926]

Yes the Moira blush balms are newer and are also another fave! 🙌

[@lesliedemarco1691]

OMG again! I have three of the Moira Soft Blush Balms in 'Dreamer', 'Think of Me', 'Love Core' & 'Talk To Me'. They are EXCELLENT. I mean I cannot believe the price, I cannot believe Moira in general it's sooooooo good. I put the link to their website in one of my 4 or 5 messages that I sent you. Check out the new Palettes that rival Colourpop's and the new Lip Oil Glazes! I can honestly say that I LOVE Moira's company. Ordering straight from their website is best, everything comes packaged so nicely! It takes about five days but yanno, patience is a virtue they say, LOL! I just LOVE this video Steph! 😘😘😘

[@bacnblk]

@@lesliedemarco1691 I adore Moria. Love the single eyeshadows

[@lesliedemarco1691]

@ I know, right! My favorite is “Showtime”, it’s gorgeous!! 🥰💋💕

[@ARACELIGOMEZ-gv2ys]

Thank you for the wonderful description of each item, and debunking the claims of alternative makeup! I am looking for an alternative to NARS afterglow lip balm in the shades, Laguna or torrid. I like that it’s sheer creamy and warm yellow undertones, (I suffer from very dry lips) if you or our beauty community have a suggestion please let me know!

[@kimberlydunn4203]

L’Oreal lipstick 💄 has been my one and only for over 40 years! Great Video 💕💕

[@vjsimpson5237]

Great find with the Clarins!

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for sharing these. I'm so very grateful for you !

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

I've put the Clarins lip oil balm on my wish list for the spring 😊

[@Makeupstaples]

The moira I have them all . I am 47 they smooth even and what is on the little lid is enough for every day ❤all they are all amazing❤

[@frantreado2313]

Thank you for the amazing video!! 😊 You always look lovely!!

[@libertychic8926]

I'm getting that moira shadow pit shade now!!!! Ty!

[@claredyj2015]

Love the dupe videos!!! ❤❤❤

[@judymyers9471]

Can you please tell what you used to curl your hair in this video? And the link for it if possible. It looks beautiful!

[@SusanDagle-k8h]

Hi, Love your videos! Can you pls let me know what glasses you had on top of your hair - brownish tortoise frames with turquoise stems? Thank you!

[@kathrynmarie6534]

Lovely your dupe videos too😀

[@smileshan1000]

Love dupe videos! Love the Moira blushes! I have 3. I had the original Chanel Boy. Is it me or does the newer version seem less pigmented, less rosy? The original used to be "my lips but better" for me. I had just wished, at the time, that it had been more moisturizing. The newer version seems paler to me. I might try the Clarins option that you have shared. Shannon 😊

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks Stephanie love the eyeshadow look ❤

[@lesliedemarco1691]

Yay! Just got home to see this video pop up, and it makes my day! Can't wait to watch it! I've gotten some of the new drugstore releases and some of them are REALLY good, so I can't wait to see what you have here! I know I'll be be buying at least a couple, cause you're my Fav! I'll let you know after I'm done, Thnx Steph! 😘😘😘🍒🍧🍷

[@danielaoliveira541]

Ok, I HAD to order that Moira shadow after I saw your swatch 🤩

[@kathleenp3135]

Great to see you! 😘

[@anne-mariegoose6026]

L’Oréal lipsticks smell so bad. I can’t use them

[@kreysas]

100% agree with you! People has been saying this on internet so I don’t know why L’Oréal doesn’t do anything about it. Their lipstick formulas are so good but that smell 🤮

[@kimc555]

They do but I still wear them. It’s a bit of nostalgia for me.

[@monicapatton1405]

I can’t either. It’s triggering for me somehow, reminds me of bad times when I was younger & would wear them. Smells awful.

[@TheBOG3]

I love how they smell. I’d rather have a nice smell instead of that chemical smell that some lipsticks have.

[@kimc555]

@ it’s very distinct and sort of old fashioned scent. But I agree - better than chemical scent. I like the formula of this specific range of L’Oréal a lot.

[@jennifermolina4396]

I prefer the Merit blush look. It looks much smoother.

[@libertychic8926]

Have u tried the new Moira Love Spell powder blush?? I got like 5 or 6 shades!! Or the new lip plumper oils?? I want the new palettes!!

[@MonaNasrallah]

I love when you compare pallets I really would never have noticed if you didn't say! Elf is doing such a fantastic job. LoL I'm sure that's said in some kind of French way 🤣 ☺️funny 😁

[@maryann7055]

Hi Stephanie! I loved this video. I love a good lux beauty product, but a great dupe is always a wonderful find. Thank you also, for introducing me to Moira Beauty. I had never heard of that brand. I went to their site through your link (Thank you also for the 15% off code!), and I placed an order. They have such a huge selection of products! I'm very excited to get it, and try my goodies. Thank you again. Have a wonderful day!!

[@libertychic8926]

Love the milani cheek kiss!! 💜

[@saharelamin1892]

Thank you for this amazing video

[@laura10777]

Wow! I’ve also seen the MBM Ethereal Eyes compared to the new(ish) Revolution Icon palette. They both look great! I’m glad there are alternatives.

[@Devilwearsgoodwill]

I learned so much from this video! Please make more videos like this. :) I LOVE Wander blush. Girlfriend. They last forever! I don't have an attachment to Wander. Just FYI

[@libertychic8926]

Moira rocks!!! I absolutely love their products! Those shadow pots are a fave of mine also!!

[@paulahardin6002]

I got it wrong on which eye was which. I thought the MBM was on my right as you are facing me, your left. It was Elf. I love the Elf palette.

[@AnneStevens-r6v]

I love the revolution wands better than the Charlotte Tilbury ones xx

[@michellepitchford6047]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but Moira shadows gets glitter everywhere. I have tried it with a brush and my finger. Its hard to remove from those spots too.

[@analissalowe8469]

Could you review the Revlon blurring pressed powder? Also, is there a drugstore brown gel eyeliner you recommend?

[@taranullius9221]

We don't many gels in Australia but the Maybelline Tattoo Gel Liner and Revlon Micro Hyper-Precision Gel Liner are pretty decent. Both in brown.

[@monicapatton1405]

Those Moira look gorgeous.

[@beckyjohnsen3128]

The ELF eye shadow pallet and the Moira shadow pot.... I'd love to try those! But ... I DEFINITELY have enough eyeshadow pallets in similar color. So, I think just the Moira shadow pot. Yep... trying to make good decisions here😉

[@juliemerry1325]

I also got Wet/ Wild bronzed Berry lip gloss. I wear it over Lancome Rose cocktail. Love lip gloss, I feel it wears like a high end. Thanku!

[@libertychic8926]

I got the e.l.f. Keep It Ethereal palette when it launched but I do not have the makeup by mario Ethereal Eyes palette. And I'm happy with my decision. 🤭 I didn't realize how alike they were till this video. Thank you for confirming that decision. 💜🤭😘

[@annettehankins3268]

I’ve never tried Moira but I am going to order some of the blushes

[@sammys1884]

Well hello. Was thinking u the other day & realized that I hadn't watched ur vid in a while. Then when ur vid popped up in my feed today, I wasn't set to all. I am now & I miss a vid again, YT would have some explaining to do cuz that is their explaining if we don't want to miss an upload. Back to watching the rest of the vid.

[@melindar3872]

Many other shades of the Chanel RCF are much more pigmented (not all 😉). Thanks for the Clarins option suggestion, the Chanel is just too expensive considering how fast you use one of those up….❤

[@wendywilliams4042]

Milani has a dupe/alternative lipstick for pillowtalk it's called secret. The color is spot on.😊

[@Dopey22AMJ]

I actually have the Revlon glimmer drops in coralicious and I find it dries very fast as well and it’s really easy to get clown cheeks. There are some other hourglass looking dupe blushes on amazon I am thinking about buying but I’m trying to be better about spending my money

[@ylvandamme]

Moira is so underrated. Check out their cream blushes, they are a better and longer lasting dupe for the Tower 28 blushes. The colors are better too, at least for me. I layer the cool bright pink blush from Moira with Persona Bubble

[@nickimontie]

I just heard the Revolution True Icon palette is the same as one of the Patrick Ta Major Dimension palettes. That's $12 vs. $70. I don't have either, but would get the Revolution one 😊

[@monicapatton1405]

It’s pretty good.

[@StefanieMorgan-b3r]

I absolutely love the Moira eyeshadow, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing on Amazon because I received used ones, which was a big bummer!

[@StephanieMarie]

I link straight to their website and have a discount for you through my links :)

Essence Pure Nude highlighter. It's GORGEOUS. Gives a glow, no glitter or sparkle

The new L’Oréal stick ones are great

[@taranullius9221]

What shade? What is your skin tone? What's your skin concerns? Do you want a crème or liquid or powder? Subtle or really blingy? One without micro-glitter/not technically micro-glitter but it looks lik it? You always do this. "What a good X" - yeah there's billions of 'em.

Have you tried McBeauty? I think it’s Australian and basically is meant to be “dupe” for all sorts of makeup! Probably good for beginner makeup users especially to save money
