REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn't have a mirror in the compact. REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties - although, E.l.f's is so popular it's just as hard to get hold of.

The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury's is matte, the L'Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish - which actually makes it more comfortable if you're wearing all day.

While they don't look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar - unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder's 60 options.

Boots' Glossy Lip Balm gets three new additions to rival Summer Fridays
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Boots stocks a whole host of beauty brands, but its own collection is equally as impressive as other premium labels – if not more so. Case in point is Boots' Glossy Lip Balms, which are said to rival the cult Summer Fridays lip balms, but for a fraction of the price. With a sea of lip balms dropping on the beauty market every other day of the week, from Rhode Summer Fridays, Laneige, to Glossier and Glow Recipe, it can be hard to stand out. However, Boots' Glossy Lip Balms have cracked the code as this make-up essential has sold out due to popular demand. This nourishing and hydrating balm offers a deep conditioning to dry and cracked lips. The smooth texture applies seamlessly on your lips for a high-shine finish. Dropping in three new flavours, including Peach, Raspberry and Vanilla, with a subtle tint to match the name. Buy Now for £3 According to Boots, one Glossy Lip Balm has been sold every 30 seconds since its launch last year, which is quite remarkable. Boots has heard our cries for more Glossy Lip Balms and delivered with not just one, but three new flavours. Adding to the collection, which currently includes Coconut, Cherry and Mint, is Vanilla, Peach and Raspberry. The Glossy Lip Balms are ultra hydrating and conditioning, which is ideal for those susceptible to chapped lips. The formula is smooth yet leaves a glossy, high-shine finish. Plus, depending on the flavour you will find the balm has a hint of colour. For example, Vanilla is a clear finish, while Peach offers a subtle coral tint and Raspberry is a pinky-red hue. The best part is the Glossy Lip Balms retail for a very purse-friendly £3, while other competitors can fetch £23, which makes a saving of £20. In fact, you could purchase the full six Glossy Lip Balms from Boots and still have change left over. Not convinced? The original threesome has garnered glowing reviews, as well as sell-out status. More Trending One shopper's review read: 'Wasn't expecting much from this product, but I used it before I went to sleep, I woke up after a six hour sleep and the hydration was still on my lips, normally no other lip balm stays as long as this one except for the Laneige Sleep Mask, which is also a good lip balm for really dry lips, but it's pricy. It's such a good affordable lip balm you're getting 15ml of product!! I'm really amazed at this product and will be purchasing the coconut flavour. You can't really smell the mint flavour in this, there is a slight tingling, but it doesn't affect me.' A separate shopper, named Minky, gushed: 'Sooooo good! Does not feel sticky at all and makes my lips feel sooo soft. Will be getting more.' While Miah shared: 'Apparently a Glossier dupe, and surprisingly really good and hydrating. It's only a few pounds, so definitely would buy again. The mint scent/flavour is subtle which is really nice.' Boots' Glossy Lip Balms will launch online first on June 17, before dropping in store in July. Considering the three originals flew off the shelves, it's anticipated the new trio will follow suit.
