You will have seen my blog post last week called Gino D'Acampo Restaurant (Harrogate 2020) , I took my brother Bluee out for lunch, he got to choose and he chose Gino's.

I went out on Friday with some old work colleagues and thought I would share with you what I did to get ready. I have tried to link as many products as possible, they are not affiliate links, I don't earn anything from sharing these.

I saw online that Lottie London has a dupe for Essie Sugar Daddy so thought I would try it out. I have a bottle of Essie Sugar Daddy but it is almost all gone so I purchase a new bottle to try it out with when I do this battle and as you can see by the picture above there is a difference between the new and the old bottle in colour. I am going to battle it out with the new bottle. PACKAGING (Essie): Squared bottle Brush is round PACKAGING (Lottie London): Rectangle bottle Bru

I saw on the Instagram page of allintheblush that she uploaded a post that had dupes for Rimmel Eastsnob check the post out here . I love Rimmel Eastend Snob lip liner so if I can find dupes for it here it goes. PACKAGING (L'Oréal): The packaging for L'Oréal lip liner is very simple and you have to use a pencil to sharpen it. PACKAGING (Rimmel): A retractable lip liner. I swatched the lip liners, L'Oréal on top and Rimmel on the bottom, it is definitely not a dupe. L'Oreal P

I had seen on social media that Zoeva has a few dupes with Morphe so thought I would try it out. I have been purchasing more and more eye brushes so let's see if these are dupes. PACKAGING (Morphe): The eyeshadow brush came in a pouch plus plastic slip packaging, I like the pouch, I probably put eyeshadow brushes in it when I travel so its more organised or put dirty ones in when I have used them on holiday. PACKAGING (Zoeva): The makeup brush comes in a plastic slip packagin

Essential Scent sell high quality fragrances made by Milton Lloyd . I have become obsessed with YSL Black Opium so when I heard Valorie No8 had similar fragrance notices I had to try it and to see for myself. PACKAGING (Valerie No8): Very simple packaging but elegant in a fun way. PACKAGING (YSL): The packaging is pretty, really beautiful booking, the box is matte where it is black, the YSL is glittery and mirrored sides. The actual bottle is beautiful. INGREDIENTS ( Valerie

I had these two in my collection and thought 'oh, are these a dupe?' so I put them to the test. PACKAGING ( Essie ): I am a bit OCD when it comes to my nail polish, I love the squared/rectangular packaging because they store easier and nicer. PACKAGING (OPI): OPI's packaging isn't bad, the bottle looks sleek and is well known as OPI. CLAIMS (Essie): Provides flawless coverage along with outstanding durability Brush fits every nail size for streak-free application Intense rich

For years I have been using MAC Face & Body foundation but when I saw on @dupeboss Instagram post saying that NYX Total Control Drop Foundation is a dupe for MAC Face & Body. If you would like to see the post then click here . Now the shades aren't dupes, it's the actual consistency that is the dupe apparently. I did a blog post recently on the NYX foundation: FIRST IMPRESSIONS: NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Drop Foundation . PACKAGING (MAC): The MAC comes in a matte

I love Benefit They're Real mascara and saw all over social media but it's an article on Cosmopolitan: It's a face off: Luxury vs budget mascaras that was written back in 2016 when Benefit was cheaper, so if W7 have a dupe for Benefit then I will swap it over and get a cheaper alternative. PACKAGING ( Benefit ): The packaging is plastic however I am not sure if the hand is metal, it feels better than the W7. PACKAGING (W7): W7 feels cheaper than the Benefit one but looks ver
