L'Oréal Voluminous Mascara vs Dior Diorshow Mascara


L'Oréal Voluminous Mascara vs Dior Diorshow Mascara


The Similarities: L'Oreal Voluminous is one of the most popular mascara dupes out there and for good reason. It has the same tapered brush shape as the award-winning Diorshow, which helps separate and elongate lashes.


Main Difference: The Dior has a clumpier formulation which tends to dry out easily and produce flakes. L'Oreal goes on much more smoothly and evenly. Both black mascaras look totally indistinguishable when on.


The Verdict: Save your money and go for L'Oreal.

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold vs Nars Orgasm Blush


Sleek Blush in Rose Gold vs Nars Orgasm Blush


The Similarities: There are plenty of dupes for this best-selling Nars product, but Sleek Rose Gold is one of the closest. Both have the same shimmery pink with tiny gold flecks.


Main Difference: The matte Nars case definitely feels more luxurious. The Sleek is highly pigmented, while Nars is more finely-milled and requires more building up. Both have the same flattering shimmer, although Sleek is a slightly brighter pink while Nars leans more towards coral.


The Verdict: If you're looking for a more natural look, Nars is your blush. But you can't beat Sleek for sheer value for money.
