Wednesday Dupe: Greige Palettes - Essence vs Bobbi Brown

Dupes are a funny thing. Sometimes, a dupe is an identical replica of a high end product, but at a much lower price. And sometimes, it's just a very close match at a tiny fraction of the cost. What I have for you today isn't an exact match. It's not one of those dupes, but it will give you the same effect as a seriously high-end product with a crazy saving.

I love  grey beige tones for autumn - they look flattering on every skin colour and age range, and they are very forgiving. Bobbi Brown are about to launch their glorious Greige Collection. It's wintry and wonderful and, as you would expect from a high-end brand like Bobbi Brown, expensive. A combination of mattes, shimmer and glitter, it will take you from day to evening and all through the year.

Yup, it's pretty beautiful alright. At €68, though, it's not an option for everyone. If you can afford it, brilliant. If not, the greige feel is still within your grasp. As usual, Essence comes to your budget rescue. Here's their equivalent eight shade palette:

It's a mixture of demi-mattes, shimmers and  a glittery shade. Obviously, the Bobbi Brown version contains more dark shades, but the similarity is obvious. This palette will set you back all of €4.99, which is a saving of €63. SIXTY THREE! 'Nuff said.

Are you all about the nude shadows? And would you invest a lot in a really great palette? To the comments!
