WHILE designer items always look amazing, for many of us they can be way beyond the budget.
Especially during the current cost of living crisis when treating yourself to a luxury beauty product is not high on the priority list.
But now one savvy shopper has revealed that they have found the perfect beauty dupes from Primark.
And picking up the bargain buys can save you a whopping £140.
All the dupes cost less than £6 and save you forking out on Sol de Janeiro, Tarte, Nuxe, and Ultra Violette items.
Mia Munro, beauty and shopping expert LatestDeals.co.uk, explains that the Primark dupes work just as well while saving you a fortune.
She says: “It’s incredible how you can save over £140 without compromising on quality.
“These Primark dupes are a fantastic way to keep your beauty routine affordable and effective.
“Beauty doesn’t have to be expensive and when you look at the ingredients you find most of the expensive brands have the same core ingredients as the cheaper brands.”
