MONEY-SAVVY shoppers have been delighted to spot dupes of popular Drunk Elephant buys being sold at an affordable price.

“Had these delivered today for a stocking filler for my daughter (Drunk elephant dupe) £2.49 each Home Bargains,” the mum wrote.
The snap showed a trio of products from the budget-friendly skincare brand Dizzy Panda.
Their Brightening Drops contain jojoba oil and 5% niacinamide for a hydrated and “radiant” complexion.
The brand’s Bronzing Drops have a blend of eight peptides and coconut oil to give skin a healthy, “sun-kissed glow.”
Dizzy Panda’s Blush Drops enhance the appearance of skin with shea butter and omega fatty acids.
Hundreds of people liked the mum’s Facebook post and began to tag their friends in the comment section.
“They look great. Need to visit Home Bargains,” one person said.
“Oh no!! I’d say thanks for the heads up on this & Home Bargains delivery but my bank doesn’t agree,” another joked.
“Might have to get these thank u,” a third commented.
Other responses to the post raved about having already tried Dizzy Panda products themselves rather than gifting them.
“I use the skincare stuff and I love it! They’re definitely a brilliant dupe for Drunk Elephant and a lot more affordable for some too,” one person wrote.
Another shopper tagged a friend as they suggested buying the dupe instead of the pricier alternative.
“That’s what Maisie was saying she wanted for Christmas but Home Bargains are selling the dupes much cheaper. Tbh [to be honest] I love this brand I’ve tried their face creams and stuff,” they said.
Best beauty dupes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.
“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact.
REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.
