‘Charlotte Tilbury fans, run!’ Beauty buffs going wild for £5.99 B&M gift set – and it includes cult Magic Cream dupe
BEAUTY dupes are big business these days.
Shoppers are loving getting copycats of cult products for a fraction of the price, especially during the cost of living crisis.
And now, Charlotte Tilbury fans are being urged to “run” to B&M and Home Bargains for brand new dupes.
Both discount stores are stocking imitation gift sets from the British beauty giant for over £30 cheaper than the real deal.
That includes the all-new Face Facts Enchanting Radiance set for £5.99.
This three-piece gift box contains a “wonder cream”, “weightless” setting spray and liquid blush, all of which are Charlotte Tilbury dupes.
They are dupes for Charlotte’s iconic Magic Cream, Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray and Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand.
The B&M buys work out at £1.99 a product.
By comparison, the luxury versions cost £79 for 50ml, £32 for 100ml and £30 respectively.
Beauty buff Kerry Sickelmore took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to alert other shoppers to her find.
She quipped: “Charlotte Tilbury Fans, run for these amazing dupe sets for a fraction of the price.
“They’re perfect Christmas prezzies.”
The other gift set dupe that Kerry unearthed was the Kissable Lip Essentials Set for £2.99 in Home Bargains.
This is a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s £39 Pillow Talk Lip Wardrobe.
The luxury gift set contains a full-size hydrating lipstick balm, travel-size lip liner, matte lipstick and lip gloss in its flagship Pillow Talk shade,
Meanwhile, the Kissable set contains four full-size products: a lipstick, lip liner, lip gloss and shimmer lip gloss.
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.

It also comes in baby pink packaging, just to add to its CT-likeness.
Kerry’s post has attracted mass attention on Facebook from fellow make-up fanatics.
“I need the B&M one,” one commented.
“We need to try and, if good, buy loads,” another penned, tagging their pal.
