I think just about all of my makeup is about gone. If I buy my norm, we are looking at a couple hundred bucks! So has anyone found a cheaper version of the name brand stuff that works just as well?
I use Philosophy primer for my face, Urban Decay eye primer, eye shadow and the better than sex mascara. Anything out there close or just as good?

For eye and face primer I have heard great things about the Milani brand. Ulta just started carrying it online and some Walmart and CVS stores have it. Their website lists which stores. I just bought it from Ulta.com, but it hasn't arrived yet.
For mascara, I am liking L'Oreal Lash Paradise from the drugstore.
For eyeshadow I have seen good reviews on Maybelline City Mini Palletts, but have t tried them personally.

Do you have an Ulta 20% coupon? That could help some with cost.
I've been looking for a replacement for my urban decay naked 2 palette (particularly the color YDK which is my favorite and is gone, I still use the rest of the palette. I found a palette from Rimmel that has a color that looks exactly the same on. It was quite a bit cheaper. People have also talked about the revolution palettes from Ulta but I haven't heard reviews from them since they bought the palettes.

The Maybeline Baby Skin primer is awesome and only $6. I think it’s better than Smashbox primer. L’Oréal Voluminous mascara is a dupe for Urban Decays Perversion mascara and its BOGO 50% at Walgreens right now and they have a $2 off beauty coupon on top of that. I got the primer and the mascara yesterday for $8. |

I haven't tried it, but read that Elf eye primer is good! Some you tube channels do videos on drugstore make up, maybe you could google make up dupes you tube. I hope you find some good make up!
Ulta has smaller size Urban Decay Naked eye shadow paletes near the register and they are half the price. They have 2 different ones.

Sephora is doing special buys this month. You can get good stuff for 1/2 off. I've been buying Christmas presents.

I have used the Elf eye primer and it's ok but I like urban decay better. I think it might depend on the dryness/oiliness of your eyelids. The Elf seems more dry.

There was plenty of good stuff i wanted to buy. I did get some (I mean I needed a setting spray and loved the new Tarte blush set-those were all my colours so I lucked out there). Nothing was on sale! |

I love Sephora's eye primer even more than the one I was using from Urban Decay.

They have lists of dupes for a lot of products, and a swatch pic and list how close they are to the original colour/product. www.temptalia.com/makeup-dupe-list/urban-decay-eyeshadow/ydk/The Temptalia dupe list might be a good thing for the OP to check if they have a particularly favorite colour or product they're looking for a cheaper dupe of.  |

Color stays on and it’s nice. I switch between that and my naked 2 palette. |

Milani eye primer is excellent. The Loreal Lash Paradise mascara has been touted as a dupe for the Too Faced. I have the waterproof version of it and it does seriously rock.

I use my Laura Mercier concealer as an eye primer. Double duty!

I couldn't make any cheaper dupes (or my concealer) work as well as my Eden primer potion from UD when it came to priming my eyelids. Skin chemistry and all that jazz... I genuinely stand by the motto that Maybelline's got you covered in terms of mascara. They have something for every type of lash out there. You don't need to spend more in my opinion. You're going to need to read up on the Internet about which one would best suit your own lashes (and preferred mascara finish/effect). MakeupAlley's your friend.  I've splurged a bit and switched to L'Oréal for autumn (Voluminous Lash Paradise for a whispy effect) and it's actually not unlike Better Than Sex if my memory serves me well. Some people have complained about it drying up very quickly but five weeks in and mine is completely fine. I'm difficult when it comes to eyeshadow. I haven't found anything I liked in the cheaper range (and spent far too much money on that quest). People say Zoeva's palettes are great, yadda yadda but both eyeshadow and blush palettes were letdowns for me (but I'm a longterm fan of their brushes). I'm perhaps too picky (I don't even like the three first Naked palettes in terms of quality of the eyeshadows). My advice: buy your holy grails, try dupes for the rest. |
