Society is captivated with owning the next new thing. Big brands and even bigger prices dominate current trends. Thankfully, getting “the look” may not have to empty your wallet.

 
For those who are sad that they didn’t find a Naked or Naked 2 palette under the tree on Christmas, keep your head up.
The Studio Endless Eyes Pro Palette by e.l.f. has all of the colors from both of the Naked palettes for the extremely low price of $6 and can be found at any local Target.

 
“The Naked palette may have a more professional packaging style, but they are very similar in color scheme,” junior Kate Buffler said.
Nude lips currently rule the fashion world. MAC Cosmetics has become a lead seller with their shade “Honey Love.” Though this lipstick is a fairly reasonable $15, there is an even cheaper duplicate found at most general drugstores. Wet-N-Wild’s “Bare It All” is almost identical in look but is $2 cheaper in price.

 
“It’s interesting that you can sometimes get the same effect with a product cheaper than the name-brand version,” junior Alex Koke said.

 
On an honest note, it is near impossible not to envy the long lashes of a girl with good mascara.

 
Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Mascara works wonders and sells for $30 at makeup counters. To save some extra cash for Starbucks, you can get the same results with Loreal Volumous Mascara at the Walgreens on Slaughter for only $8.
“It’s very helpful when I can find makeup that’s cheaper but has the same affect as the name brand product even though sometimes, it can be a gamble in getting the same quality,” Koke said.

 
Though trying new products may be gamble, with cheap deals, there is not much of a loss if things don’t turn out like you had hoped so seek out new deals until you find new things that you love.

 
“People don’t take the time to find cheaper and better deals,” Buffler said. “Instead, they just want to buy what everyone else is. If you did take the time, it would save a lot of money.”
