In most cases I would imagine the every day make up wearer wouldn't need two versions of a product. Obviously they come into their own for limited editions especially and then I guess it's where things get down to the nitty gritty of things.<br /><br />I own a lot of 'dupes' but as I only own one or the other in most cases its the product itself I like as opposed to it being a dupe.<br /><br />Victoria <br /><a href="http://www.florenceandmary.com" rel="nofollow">FlorenceandMary.com</a> <br />Victoria - Florence and Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614421769288092034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957742153028790995.post-24104365878052018952015-06-14T11:03:14.568+01:002015-06-14T11:03:14.568+01:00The word dupe is far too overused in my opinion.

However I never buy dupes when I'm not sure they'll be good - for example I'd rather get the Naked Palette than one of its numerous but low quality dupes.

The Rimmel Lipliner/CT Pillowtalk dupe for example is a great one and I definitely wasn't disappointed, but it definitely was raved about. <br /><br /><a href="http://nueyork.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">nueyork.blogspot.com</a>nueyorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812268681505422553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957742153028790995.post-46633744636431787232015-06-13T09:44:58.999+01:002015-06-13T09:44:58.999+01:00I've been the same as you and me than likely e...I've been the same as you and me than likely end up spending more on a dupe product trying to find it and would be better off spending the money on the original item. I was told not long ago that the makeup revolution palettes were a dupe to the naked palettes and although I agree they're great value for money, they're simply not the same to me. The makeup revolution is much more chalky and not as pigmented. <br /><br />I don't think I've successfully found a dupe that I can say I've been proud of. I'd rather just save the pennies and buy the more expensive one.
