Shopping for dupes of your favorite beauty products? It’s easy to get lost in the rabbit hole of seemingly endless product recommendations and tutorial videos. To save you the time of scrolling through TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube and other platforms, we’ve put together a budget-friendly starter pack of alternatives to luxury products from popular brands such as Olaplex, Dior, Dyson and other brands.

Below, find a handful of the best beauty product dupes that you can buy online.
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil: Best Alternatives
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil is beloved among beauty fanatics and anyone who appreciates a glossy lip. Available raspberry, cherry, mahogany, coral and other shades — this luxury lip oil is designed to nourish, protect and revitalize your lips.
Dior
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
$38
If $38 is a bit too steep for your lip gloss budget, there are affordable substitutes floating around the web. For example, you might have seen Sea-Maid Lip Oil ($9.99) on TikTok. It’s as a cheaper alternative to Dior’s lip oil and the packaging looks somewhat similar.
Amazon
Sea-Maid Plumping Lip Oil
$9.99 $13.99 29% OFF
According to the product description, this dewy lip oil is made with cocoa butter, beeswax and essential oils, and it’s available in cherry, coral, raspberry and rosewood.
If you prefer a balm to lip oil, alternatives to Dior Addict Lip Balm include Cover Girl Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm ($6.99) and L’Oreal Paris Glow Hydrating Lip Balm ($6.98).
Best Dyson AirWrap Dupe
Make no mistake about it, the Dyson AirWrap is a game changer! It’s engineered for multiple hair types and comes with several attachments, but if you don’t have $600 to spend on this amazing hair tool, you can always shop for alternatives.
Dyson
The T3 Air Brush Duo ($189) is a good substitute for the Dyson AirWrap at a more affordable price point and it works similarly.
Amazon
T3 AireBrush Duo Interchangeable Hot Air Blow Dry Brush with Two Attachments
$189.99
The hair tool features an interchangeable brush design and T3 IonFlow technology for shiny, frizz-free hair, plus it has 15 heat speed combinations. Need something even cheaper? Try Revlon’s 6-in1- Hair Brush and Volumizer ($59.99).
Best Dupes for Olaplex Shampoo, Conditioner & Hair Mask
Olaplex
Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
$30
If you have dry, damaged hair, Olaplex might be right up your alley — but maybe not in your price range. The all-natural, ultra-hydrating shampoo and conditioner utilizes a patented system that repairs and protects hair making it shinier and easier to manage.
Olaplex products range in price from $15 for the smaller, three-ounce bottles and $30 for an eight-ounce bottle. Because Olaplex is one-of-a-kind, you might not find an exact “dupe,” but you can save money on alternatives like Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Protein Treatment ($7), which is one of the more popular dupes that we found online and an alternative to Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask ($30).
Amazon
Elizavecca cer-100 collagen coating hair protein treatment 100ml
$7.62
A few other alternatives for Olaplex (No. 3 and No. 4) include, OGX Restoring + Bond Treatment, Maui Moister Shine + Awapuhi Conditioner ($10.49), pH Plex 1 Protect and Repair Kit ($4.95) and L’Oreal EverPure Bonding Shampoo and Conditioner ($17.98).
Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream: Best Alternatives
Tatcha
Tatcha Limited Edition Dewy Skin Cream
$85
Tatcha’s best-selling Dewy Skin Cream moisturizes, replenishes, plumps and hydrates the skin. It’s packed with antioxidants and Japanese purple rice to give your skin that dewy glow.
A full-sized container of Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream can cost you $70-$85. Don’t have that much to spend? Try these alternatives: Bliss Ex-Glow Super Rich Face Moisturizer (from $22 and up), Innisfree Green Tea Moisturizer ($29) and Elf ultra-hydrating skin cream ($13.00).
Amazon
Bliss Ex-Glowsion Face Moisturizer
$21.93
Bliss Ex-Glowsion is described as a “velvety, skin-brightening cream” with stabilized vitamin C that transforms skin from “dry and lackluster to dewy and luminous” within seconds.
Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream: Best Alternatives
All the rumors are true! Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream is worth every penny. Bum Bum Cream nourishes, tightens and replenishes the skin. It offers deep hydration thanks to rich antioxidants like guaraná extract, açaí oil and brazil nut oil.
Sol de Janiero
Sol de Janiero Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
$48
Bum Bum Cream can cost anywhere from around $22 for a small, 2.5-ounce bottle and $48 for the eight-ounce bottle. Want a cheaper option?

This vegan, body butter is available in over a dozen flavors including almond milk, mango, shea and British rose.

Bacarat Rouge 540: Best Dupes
Bacarat Rouge 540 is one of the most timeless, and beloved scents in the fragrance world. The woodsy but sweet fragrance blends notes of jasmine, saffron, cedarwood and ambergris, and it can cost you up to $625.
Nordstrom
Bacarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum
$325-$625
Need more affordable scents? Orientica Amber Rouge and Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Rouge ($27.99) are two alternatives that you’ll find on TikTok and other social media platforms.
Amazon
Orientica Amber Rouge for Women Eau de Parfum Spray, 2.7 Ounce
$67.74
Both feature similar notes to Bacarat Rouge: jasmine, amber wood, saffron, musk, cedar and more. Ariana Grande’s Cloud Eau de Parfum ($65) has also been named as an affordable alternative to the luxury fragrance.

To celebrate the group’s next chapter, Billboard is releasing a 44-page collector’s zine available for pre-order Thursday (Jan. 19) — the same day as the group’s Billboard digital cover story. This limited-edition collectible features 20 stunning group photos and solo shots of Hayley Williams, Zac Farro and Taylor York — 13 of which are only available in the collector’s zine.
And that’s not all! This limited issue includes a special exclusive cover, plus the only printed version of Paramore’s January 2023 Billboard digital cover story and bonus interview content that you won’t read anywhere else.
Inside the zine, fans will find exclusive details on why the band is getting more political than ever and what surprised them about Olivia Rodrigo’s smash single “good 4 u,” which interpolates Paramore’s 2007 track “Misery Business.”
Additionally, the zine will include exclusive details on how the band stays in shape in their 30s and what happens when Billie Eilish’s mom invites you over for Thanksgiving cinnamon rolls.
