Beauti Better Buy's- Dupes

*DISCLAIMER, all products mentioned were purchased by me unless otherwise stated*

Hey homies, I have a product better buy for you guys. A better buy is where I'll basically be giving you the comparison between a relatively higher end product and a lower end product. I for one, am a working women whom watches her coins, closely. So whenever I can save and get more bang for my buck I will. If the products are very similar, then it's a dupe or duplicate. Which I love. If not then I'll tell which one I prefer as a better buy. Today, I have a awesome dupe for you.

I am not a foundation wearer. I personally feel that with my skin type ( combo to oily) and the unkeep of having to set it with powders and the re-applying every hour or so is for the birds. Plus, I don't like having to be cautious about the dreadful transfer of my face to someone's lapel. So, I found that wearing a tinted BB cream works wonders for me as it gives me that matte, natural finish I like.

The two creams that I have found and actually wear are; Mac prep and prime BB beauty balm in SPF 35 broad spectrum color Dark Deep( cost is $31.00 and can be purchased at www.maccosmetics.com) and L.A girl Pro BB cream HD high definition beauty balm in color Deep (Cost is $7.00 and can be purchased at www.lagirlusa.com).

 BB creams or blemish balms are a tinted moisturizer for the skin that are intended to give the appearance of a flat even skin tone and smooth moisturizing finish. They can be worn alone or under foundation with a setting powder.Both of these creams gives you the natural, blemish free look I look for. L.A girl's at half the price, thus it being a really nice duplicate. I personally love BB cream versus foundation because I like the more subtle natural appearance it gives rather than a "cake face"  full coverage  look. There are just really subtle differences in the color, L.A girl being slightly lighter and it doesn't last as long on through out the day. Both have a very creamy formula and smooth application. Mac's is a tad thinner but a little goes a long way. Also, their bottle is bigger so for $31.00 you get a little higher quality and more product, meaning you won't have to buy more so soon.

I enter change the two. L.A girl for work days and Mac for more special occasions. Give them a try and if you have either let me know what you think below.
