This weeks post is all about natural or organic dupes for more "mainstream" products. I wanted to put together a few options to show you all that when you choose to go more natural (in terms of ingredients) you do not need to skip out on quality whatsoever!

White Glo Extreme Whitening Pen vs Keeko Botanical Teeth Whitening Pen

I feel like a lot of people disregard the ingredients used in your typical teeth whitening products. There are so many teeth whitening pens that you can buy at your local supermarket or chemist but what you are actually putting into your body is horrible. Yes I have tried it once before just to review it and I will never do it again. Everyone is free to make their own decisions when it comes to what they put in or on their bodies but if you're interested in a much safer and natural alternative then the Keeko pen is just as good, if not better because it doesn't leave your teeth sensitive at all!

I have a full review on the Keeko Botanical Teeth Whitening Pen here.

Chapstick Conditioning Lip Scrub vs Lush Lip Scrub

To be completely honest I never buy lip scrubs because I prefer to make my own since they pretty much all act the same way. However if you are after purchasing one then the lip scrub made from Lush is a natural match to any other scrub you can purchase.

L'Oreal Color Infallible in 004 Forever Pink vs Inika Organic Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow duo in Black Sand (pink shade)

I made a promise to myself to never mention L'Oreal again (due to them testing on animals) however if I can find a dupe for their products I will be sure to let you all know!

I found not only a cruelty free dupe but also an organic one which comes with a bonus eyeshadow. The Inika Organic shadow is very similar and safer not only for us but animals too.

Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick in Vintage Rose vs Adorn Cosmetics Lipstick in Natural Pink

Vintage Rose is one of my all time favourite lipstick shades and I am aware of the controversy surrounding Gerard Cosmetics so I was very excited to find a matching shade. To think that we "eat" our lipstick throughout the day, a lot of people may feel better knowing that they have something natural on their lips rather than chemicals.

Since I am transitioning my collection to one day being completely cruelty free I have been on the hunt for cruelty free dupes for my favourite products. Hopefully this post will help you if you're interested in using cruelty free alternatives too!

MAC Studio Fix Powder ➙ Australis Fresh and Flawless

Having dry/problematic skin makes it tough to find a powder that doesn't look too powdery but still offers a medium-full coverage. Luckily both these powders work virtually the same and the dupe is a lot more affordable! I do find that the MAC powder does give less of a "powdery" finish.

L'Oreal 24H-Matte ➙ Tarte Amazonian Clay

Tarte's Amazonian Clay foundation is a thicker and moussier consistency compared to L'Oreal however they're both matte and offer very full (buildable) coverage.

MAC Fix + ➙ Australis Makeup Finishing Spritz

Both set the powders on your face giving you more of a dewy finish. You can also use both to intensify any shadows.

Urban Decay Naked Palettes ➙ Chi Chi Palettes

Although Urban Decay are cruelty free their parents company is not. I am still on the fence whether I will continue purchasing their products however for a much more affordable and 100% cruelty free option Chi Chi have so many palette's so you will definitely find a match within their range!

Benefit Porefessional ➙ NYX Pore Filler

I have never owned Benefit's Porefessional however I have tried it out on my hand and compared it to my NYX primer. They had a similar feel and filled in the "pores" on my hand the exact same. There are also other blogposts online stating that these two are dupes. Cruelty free or not I highly recommend you try out the NYX primer first as it is much more affordable and works so well.

Stila Liquid Lipstick in Patina ➙ Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Clueless

I did an entire blogpost dedicated to comparing these two liquid lips so if you're interested in reading it click here. The two shades are very similar and wear for the same amount of time.

NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anna ➙ Colourpop Lippie Stix in Lumiere

NARS is another brand that is cruelty free however the parent company are not. Ever since the Audacious lipsticks were released I always wanted the shade Anna. One day when I went into Mecca I realised it was so similar to the shade I was wearing - Colourpop's Lumiere.
