I have a confession: I love makeup. However, it can be pretty pricey, especially when it comes to more luxury brands. Luckily enough, dupes exist. Many people argue that brands who make dupes are stealing ideas from the original brand. Consider this: if Brand A can make the exact same product as Brand B with the same formula and a lower price, why wouldn't you buy from Brand A. When you think of it like this, it makes you wonder if you're being taken advantage of by luxury cosmetics brands.

Both brands create cruelty-free products with phenomenal formulas. However, you can grab the dupe, Arabesque, on Hush for only $16!
