Hi everyone, today I’m deinfluencing makeup purchases in the Sephora Sale and sharing some high-end makeup dupes worth considering instead! I’ll be going through popular and viral products that might not be worth the hype. These drugstore/affordable alternatives perform just as well (if not better!!) so let mw know if you give them a go!
Thanks for watching 💕
Carmel
