Beauty Look-A-Likes

Since my first and second look-a-likes posts were such big hits with all of you Fab fans, here is a third installment of fabulous beauty look-a-likes. Feast your eyes on three more copycat beauty products inspired by designer cosmetic brands for a fraction of the cost.

Lorac Portable Paints, $40, look a lot like Sally Girl Eye Shadow Connecting Compacts, 99 cents. They both have interlocking systems allowing you to freely mix and match your multitude of makeup colors depending on your mood. These come in eye shadows and blushes perfect for personalization. The only catch is that you can't buy Sally Girl products online - call your local Sally Beauty Supply Store to see if they carry these compacts, or call (940) 297-4643 to find a Sally Store nearest you.

Since everyone loved my first look-a-likes post so much, I thought I'd give you some more fabulous copycat products to compare to the designer cosmetic brands. Here are a few more affordable finds that take after high-end beauty products.

Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Face Powder is remarkably similar to the famed Guerlain Pressed Powder Compact. It has most of the same colors, which are intended to naturally brighten and enhance your skin tone as well as correct your obvious blotchy imperfections. The mauve color is meant to attract light, the green tone helps to cut out redness, the pink gives you a healthy glow, the gold and pearl are for highlighting, and white is meant to brighten.

Buy the Physicians Formula in eight colors here for $12.95, or get Guerlain's here for $155.

There are knock-offs out there for almost everything on the designer market, so why shouldn't that include beauty products too? Since imitation is the highest form of flattery, it doesn't surprise me at all that a number of budget beauty brands have started releasing products have a striking similarity to higher-end items. Now we can stock up and experiment more since we're paying less! Here's a look at some of the less expensive versions of designer originals.

e.l.f. Hypershine Lip Glosses look a lot like Stila's Lip Glaze. They provide a similar super-bright, glass-like shine and condition your lips for hours. Both have a yummy scent, as well as that fun twist-and-click feature that brings the gloss to the applicator. You can buy e.l.f's glosses in 10 colors here for $1. Or you can buy Stila's version in 33 colors here for $20.

The Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips palette is very similar to the fabulous Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. Both can be blended together as a bronzer if you sweep your brush across the entire brick or used as individual shimmery colors for your eyes and cheeks. Buy the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in the light-bronze Vegas Strip or the darker Sunset Strip here for $11.95. Or, buy the Bobbi Brown Simmer Bricks here for $38; available in Apricot, Pink, Gold, Beige, Rose, Brownie, Bronze, and Peony.
