If you are a makeup lover like myself, then you understand how expensive it can be to keep up with the latest and most popular makeup items. Throughout my makeup ~journey~ I have learned a thing or two about finding a good deal and have discovered some of the best affordable dupes that have quickly replaced many of my luxury products. While I am all for saving up and splurging on your dream product, if you are looking to save a pretty penny on some staple makeup items, I have compiled just the list for you!Ā
