29 Cheaper Alternatives To Name Brand Beauty Products
Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener perfect for anyone who wants to trick everyone around them into thinking they got a full nine hours of sleep when in reality, they got maybe six. 😖 This stuff is basically the makeup of the future because it's designed with a color-adapting formula to help your bags ~disappear~, giving you instant coverage with a lightweight feel. And let's not forget it's much cheaper than the $33 Becca version. Stila eyeliner to create a precise look that will 👏🏼 not 👏🏼 smudge. 👏🏼 You won't even miss the slightly more dynamic double-tipped Tom Ford because you can create allll the same looks and feel good knowing you're saving money. 💰 L'Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer reviewers equate to the $80 ~designer~ Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream but wayyyy cheaper and still just as hydrating, plumping, and smoothing. You're gonna love how it makes your skin feel without leaving your pores clogged or your face feeling greasy. Peach and Lilly acne spot dots that work just as well as the fan favorite Mighty Patches. Just stick one of these bad boys on your pimple overnight and be amazed (/disgusted) by the results when you wake up. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, which could basically be the only step in your skincare routine if you really wanted it to be. It'll help brighten, cleanse, moisturize, and remove your makeup all at once, which is pretty impressive itself, and on top of that, reviewers rave about it being a cheaper alternative to Tatcha Rice Wash, so I'd call that a win–win. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder that magically turns into a foaming face wash when combined with water (just like the $68 Dermalogica version). It's made with fruit enzymes, vitamin C, and rice powder to gently exfoliate, soften, and brighten your skin. A L'Oréal illuminating moisturizer to instantly give you a ✨glow✨ while also hydrating your skin. The subtle tint will provide you a nice, light coverage on those days when you absolutely *cannot* with a full face of makeup. A jar of E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer so you can feel confident that the makeup you just spent a lot of time on will actually stay in place all day. Plus this primer is designed to help reduce the appearance of your pores, so your skin will look extra ~smooth~ and hydrated. Maybelline's Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil to transform your sparse brows into the full ones of your dreams. You can make 'em bushier than a bunny's tail if that's the vibe you're going for. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion that will help dry up blemishes while you sleep just as well as Kate Somerville's EradiKate Acne Treatment. Yeah, go ahead and get one of those ~fancy~ drinks you like with that money you've saved. LilyAna eye cream to help lighten those dark circles and decrease puffiness under your eyes. It's packed with vitamin C and a bunch of other natural ingredients that can help improve the appearance of fine lines or dullness in your skin, just like the pricier Lancôme cream does. A pack of PleasingCare bamboo oil-blotting sheets for the times you catch yourself looking greasy as HECK. These can quickly and easily remove excess oils just as well as Tatcha's popular blotting sheets, without messing up your makeup. Nivea Creme (the German version!), which will help save you from the patchy, flaky, and dry skin we all experience at some point during the year. Plus, take reviewers' advice and save yourself over $150 by choosing this over La Mer's pricey Crème de la Mer. "We are never, ever, ever getting back together" — you to La Mer after you try the Nivea creme. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser for removing excess oil, dirt, and makeup without leaving your skin feeling dry or uncomfortably tight (which is honestly one of my main pet peeves from face washes). Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser is quivering, knowing you won't be buying it again. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil that nourishes and hydrates your skin with natural ingredients to give you that same ✨glow✨ you get with Tarte Maracuja Oil, just for a ~fraction~ of the price. A rainbow-inspired eyeshadow palette with 40 shades (matte, shimmer, and metallic!) so you can get as creative as you could ever imagine. And somehow even with this wide variety *and* brilliant colors, it still won't cost more than $10!! Care:Nel lip mask that reviewers say is *spot on* to the other version (*cough cough* Laneige) that's viral on TikTok. This will hydrate your lips overnight while creating a protective barrier to help prevent future damage. Eve Hansen Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum designed to help (stay with me here…) smooth wrinkles, brighten dark spots, firm skin, add moisture, reduce under-eye puffiness, and give you a beautiful glow. Not to mention it is more than 10 times (!!) less expensive than the highly sought-after TNS Essential Serum, but just as effective! CeraVe Moisturizing Cream with a thick, velvety texture to absorb quickly and provide you with 24 hours of hydration. You won't hesitate to buy this over the Sunday Riley Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream, which is almost four times the price (and significantly less product). And CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream to help renew and hydrate your skin overnight with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, so you can have sweet dreams thinking of everything you can buy with the money you saved from not getting Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer. Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water that'll remove makeup just like Bioderma. It'll also clear skin of dirt and oil, all without stripping your face of moisture. The highly effective Bio-Oil designed to help minimize the appearance of scars just as well as Mederma scar gel, a drugstore staple. Anndd as an added bonus, Bio-Oil is also made to help nourish your skin without clogging your pores. ALL that and still less than half the price — it just one-upped you, Mederma. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm that'll make removing your makeup easy as can be. (Yup, even waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance!) It features Japanese pearl barley, which melts into your skin to hydrate while cleansing away impurities. Reviewers even compare it to ~expensive~ products like Farmacy Green Clean and Elemis! Or a container of Albolene moisturizing cleanser reviewers are loving as an equally effective — and much more affordable — makeup remover compared to Clinique Take The Day Off balm. Massage this balm on your face and watch your makeup melt away. Or a makeup cleansing cloth that works just like the MakeUp Eraser to remove A L L your makeup by just adding water…yes, even waterproof makeup. Buhbyeee wasteful makeup removing wipes! How does it make sense? IDK maybe it's magic, but whatever it is, it *works.* Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer if you've been looking for something to cover up big pimples, redness, or dark circles without weighing you down or lightening up your wallet too much. Essence Lash Princess mascara that will give you the look of wearing falsies, without the hassle of making sure you actually know how to put them on. Not to mention, the end result will be basically the same as you would get with higher-end mascaras, only significantly cheaper. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer, which will help make sure that smoky eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door. A six-piece set of high-performance matte lipsticks so you can have ~options~ and still pay less than what you'd pay for *one* color of another brand. Don't worry, just because they're inexpensive doesn't mean they are cheap — reviewers are saying they perform just as well as those more expensive brands.

Video captures 'drunk punter' calling food critic 'disgusting piglet' during 20-plate breakfast review
Video captures 'drunk punter' calling food critic 'disgusting piglet' during 20-plate breakfast review Becca Stock was insulted by a customer after ordering almost all of Wetherspoon's breakfast menu A rude Wetherspoons punter was caught on camera calling out a TikTok food critic for ordering 20 plates - branding her a 'disgusting piglet'. Becca Stock had ordered almost all of Wetherspoons' breakfast menu at The Regal pub in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, on Monday, May 19 to rate each dish for her channel. But footage of her tucking into the third dish of her 20-plate mega meal was interrupted by a 'drunk and elderly' man heard declaring how filming 'all of that' is 'absolutely disgusting'. When the 28-year-old TikToker repeatedly asks why, the 'horrible' man says 'you're just sat there eating like a f**king piglet'. Brave Becca hits back to brand the foul-mouthed punter 'a disgusting human being' and 'the worst person I've ever come across' before alerting staff who were bringing her more food. The former chef says worker told their manager, who ordered the rude customer to finish his drink and leave, which he did within 10 minutes. The full-time content creator is not sure if the 'beer-bellied' man, believed to be in his late 60s, was offended by the idea she would eat so much or the possibility of food wastage. The incident happened at The Regal in Gloucester (Image: Kennedy News/Google Maps ) Becca, whose TikTok handle is @beccaeatseverything, admits she was shaken and shocked by the 'nightmare' incident and struggled to continue her review of the £70 food haul. Her video has more than three million views with some complimenting her 'well-articulated' response but others criticising influencer culture. Becca, from Gloucester, said: "I was just shocked and I wasn't going to let someone talk to me like that. I wasn't hurt by it. My adrenaline was so high and my heart was beating out of my chest. This was my worst nightmare. Article continues below "I thought he was just walking to go to the garden, then he stopped and started talking to my partner and telling him he doesn't like what he's doing. Because I've dealt with a lot of hate online, you do keep yourself calm a little but I thought 'hang on, you don't get to say those things to me when you don't know anything about what I'm doing'. "I thought he'd called me a fat pig but he called me a f**king piglet. What a weird thing to say to someone. He must have been in his late 60s. He was around 5ft 5in with a beer belly and he had a cane. It was clear he'd been drinking because he was slurring his words a bit and a bit drunk. "The table was full of plates and I'd say there were about eight on there at the time. I assume he was brought over by the fact he saw so many plates. Perhaps he was a bit shocked. Maybe he was thinking we were going to eat it all but I genuinely don't know and that's why I asked him what the issue was. Becca Stock makes food reviews for TikTok (Image: Kennedy News/@beccaeatseverything ) "Was he thinking I was overeating, was he concerned about food waste, was he just jealous? He didn't give me a reason. He was just drunk and miserable." Becca says she and her fiancé, who was filming the content, were sitting in a quiet corner of the pub with around eight plates on their table at the time. Her dishes included a traditional full English breakfast, a vegetarian breakfast, savory muffins, scrambled eggs on toast, and fruit with yoghurt. She explained how she tries to avoid food wastage as much as possible and feels like her filming 'isn't anyone else's business'. Becca said: "He really shook me up. It was verbal harassment and it was really uncalled for. He could have just enquired and given his opinion. "I don't feel like it's anyone else's business. Everyone does things that they want to do and not everybody agrees so just keep yourself to yourself. We went to Tesco beforehand and got some plastic tubs so anything we didn't eat and we could take away, we did. "We give it to foxes, birds, our dog and then we eat everything we can eat. With this job there's food wastage but I don't want stacks of food left on the table. "I'll put the video out at some point but I'll have to give some sort of context because at the start I'm fine and then I'm visibly shaking and I'm finding it hard to talk." Some of the reaction to Becca's TikTok row (Image: Kennedy News and Media ) Article continues below Becca, who did not report the incident to police, had been asked by followers to review Wetherspoon's breakfast offerings so decided the night before to film the video. Her post said: "I'm still shaken up that this happened. The staff at The Regal Wetherspoons were amazing and told him to leave after the incident. Gutted I didn't get his face on camera. Some people are so miserable." One commented: "You handled that so well! He deserved that plate all over him." A second said: "He absolutely did not expect you to respond, especially not in such a well articulated way." A third said: "Standard Wetherspoons clientele unfortunately. Sorry this happened." However one said: "People are just getting sick of influencers." Becca hit back, saying: "If you're sick of influencers, stop using social media. We literally create content for people to consume for free and work hard for it." Another said: "The risk of filming in public. Everybody's an influencer." Becca responded by saying: "The fact that you think that makes verbal abuse okay is hilarious. I hope karma comes around." Wetherspoons declined to comment.

Mum Of 3 Drops 38kg After Beating Binge-Eating Disorder – Now She's Eyeing A Beauty Crown
Last Updated: Becca Goddard, a mother from Kent, shed 38kg after gastric sleeve surgery that helped her battle postnatal depression and a binge-eating disorder that once ruled her life Motherhood, while a source of immense joy, can also present significant challenges. Becca Goddard, a 32-year-old nursery teacher from Thanet, Kent, UK, faced such difficulties following childbirth. After becoming a mother, she developed postnatal depression and a binge-eating disorder, which triggered uncontrollable cravings and rapid weight gain. Becca found herself constantly reaching for food, often driven by boredom or emotion, and soon found her health in serious decline. Taking Control Over Health And Life Becca's struggles began after the birth of her second daughter in 2015, worsened by a car accident in 2017 and compounded by her third pregnancy in 2021. At that point, her weight reached 90kg, and she faced multiple health issues. Despite everything, she managed to win a plus-size beauty pageant, proving her resilience. advetisement Determined to regain her health, Becca opted for gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey, at £3,500. At her heaviest, Becca weighed 90kg, considerable for her 5-foot frame. Her binge-eating disorder made food feel like an addiction, with cakes, biscuits, and chocolates becoming both comfort and curse. The turning point came in summer 2024. By Christmas, she had lost 38kg, reducing her weight to just over 50kg. Her health improved dramatically, blood pressure normalised, fatty liver resolved, and chronic back pain vanished. Life After Transformation Post-surgery, Becca has not only transformed her health but also her lifestyle. Her pre-surgery diet included sugary breakfasts, chips for lunch, and heavy takeaways for dinner. Now, her meals are controlled and nutritious: small portions of cereal, tuna salads, lean protein with vegetables, and daily hydration. She is now preparing to compete in the Miss Bariatric pageant in November 2025. Her three daughters, aged 14, 9, and 4, have noticed the change, enjoying more active time with their mother. 'I can now kick a football around without losing my breath," she shared. Her middle daughter is especially excited for her mum to take part in the upcoming school sports day. Despite the positive changes, Becca has faced criticism for her appearance. 'People say I look ill from being too thin. But no one said a word when I was overweight," she noted. Undeterred, she continues to embrace her transformation, proving that health and happiness come in many forms, and that resilience can rewrite any story. First Published:

Not to mention this has a TON more colors available to match your 'fits. A set of golden bracelets giving ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices.

A Lululemon-esque adjustable mini belted pack (aka ~fanny pack~) you can wear around your waist or shoulder for a lightweight bag alternative that you won't lose, since it is literally attached to you. A lot of reviewers mention how genuinely *stunned* they are by how much this little bag can secretly carry. Moodmatcher color-changing lipstick, an affordable WinkyLux alternative that not only adapts to the pH of your skin to create a personalized, perfect shade for your skin tone, but lasts for HOURS. Reviewers marvel at its all-day staying power even after meals and breaking a sweat. Look at that lil' green lipstick go!! A high-quality, *just* compressive enough layering T-shirt reviewers love so much that a ton of them tried it and immediately ordered more colors to stock up. This shirt is double-lined but still feels lightweight on the skin, giving a sophisticated, expensive look with a casual feel. Reviewers compare it to Skims at a fraction of the price! Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette as an $8 alternative to the $88 (!!) Makeup Forever Palette. This includes a range of highly-pigmented, super blendable shades to help you contour, highlight, and bronze on days when your Gcal just say "GO GO GO" all the way down. (Psst — this is the same brand behind the TikTok-famous $6 Under Eye Brightener, so you know they mean business!) A luxe, super soft two-piece pajama set with some real "vacation mode" energy, so even if your summer travel plans are "backyard" and "someone else's backyard," you can still feel like you're on a tropical getaway. Psst — reviewers compare these to the $128 Roller Rabbit version! 👀 A bodycon lounge dress perfect for fans of Skims looking to spare themselves a few bucks — this versatile, figure-hugging dress has just the right amount of compression to mimic the iconic style and stay oh-so-comfortable for long periods of wear. A bottle of truffle seasoning for an instant upgrade on homemade meals that honestly has become one of my only personality traits, to the point where I'm just like, begging you to try it. I should gatekeep this stuff so I can have it all to myself but it is such a delicious and satisfying and ridiculously affordable alternative to real truffles that I'm throwing the gates WIDE OPEN.
