Discover the 'Holy Grail' of beauty products: Chemist Warehouse insider reveals high-end dupe

Here at the Seniors Discount Club, we're always on the hunt for great deals, especially when it comes to beauty and self-care products. It's not always easy finding high-quality items at an affordable price, though.

Fortunately for us, a Chemist Warehouse employee has revealed her insider knowledge of the budget-friendly alternatives to high-end brands, and we're excited to share!

Jess, a retail manager at Chemist Warehouse, went viral on social media for disclosing her top makeup and skincare products from the discount chemist.

She shared why she's a loyal customer of these budget-saving beauty brands, comparing a Revlon Blurring Powder to the high-end Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter and endorsing a foundation by MCoBeauty as her current favourite.

The first product on Jess's hotlist is the Revlon Photo-Ready Blurring Powder, which she refers to as her 'holy grail' and 'absolute favourite product’. Jess claims, 'I reckon if the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter were in powder form, this would be it.' That's a mighty endorsement!

Another recommendation from Jess is Revlon's Glass Shine lipstick range, particularly in the Nude Illuminator shade. She praised its natural beauty and perfect finish. No wonder this lipstick made it to her list!

But Jess's love for budget-friendly finds isn't limited to Revlon. She also swears by the W7 Overnight Lip Mask, comparing it to the Laneige Lip Mask—which sells for a whopping $31 in Australia. 'I'm on my second tub, and it's actually amazing,' said Jess.

But wait, there's more! As a foundation enthusiast, Jess has a few gems in her rotation, including L'Oreal True Match Foundation for full coverage, Flower Light Illusion Foundation, and MCoBeauty Ultra Stay Flawless Foundation.

She reveals that the latter is her 'absolute favourite at the moment,' saying it's 'very similar to the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation ($68)’.

And it appears MCoBeauty has another winning product: the new Flawless Glow, which has also been described as a 'dupe' for Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter. Jess suggests wearing it on its own with a touch of powder on top for a natural, radiant finish.



Jess's video garnered over 60,000 views, with thankful viewers expressing their appreciation for her wise recommendations.

'It's amazing how much information you can jam into one video,' said one commenter, while another added, 'Whatever Chemist Warehouse is paying you, it's not enough.'
