Let’s talk YSL dupes. First off, bags. Oh my god, the bags. That Tassel bag? To DIE for. But £2,000?! Like, seriously?! Thankfully, the internet is a magical place where affordable alternatives roam free. You can totally find bags that *look* practically identical. I’m talking similar shapes, similar stitching, even that iconic YSL logo (though, you know, maybe not *exactly* the same… gotta stay legal, people!). You just gotta hunt. Amazon, Etsy, even some of the fast-fashion giants have stepped up their game. Just be sure to read reviews! You don’t want a bag that falls apart after, like, a week. That’s just sad.
And it’s not just the Tassel bag, either. The LouLou, the Le 5 à 7 (I still can’t pronounce that properly!), the Wallet on a Chain… they’re all ripe for the duping. Chevron patterns are your friend here! They’re all over the place and scream “expensive without *actually* being expensive.” Just saying.
Then there’s the makeup. Ooh, YSL makeup. That Lash Clash mascara? Apparently, it’s amazing for volume. But, like, is it *really* worth the price tag? Probably not. I saw one mention that Garnier’s Micellar Water is a good dupe for something YSL, but honestly, what does that have to do with mascara? AI is weird sometimes. Anyway, back to makeup dupes. Hit up your local drugstore! Seriously. You’d be surprised what gems you can find. And YouTube is your bestie here. Search for “YSL Lash Clash dupe” and prepare to be amazed.
And finally, we get to perfume. Black Opium, am I right? Such a classic, but also, like, kinda overdone? I feel like I smell it *everywhere*. But if you love it, you love it! And if you want a cheaper version, there are definitely options. I saw someone mentioned 3 different dupes, but no names. Seriously? That’s not helpful. The problem with perfume dupes, though, is that they often don’t last as long as the real deal. So, you might end up spraying yourself a million times a day. Just a heads up! Maybe carry a little atomizer with you for reapplication?
