We like love the drama, 29 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: but it's products. 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: Like, we're so lame. 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna got the tea about this lip glass girl. 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: There are more important things in life. But you know what, 33 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: this is important to me? It is it is important 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: to you, and this is important to the cheap it is. 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 3: That's why we're getting into it on today's show. 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: All right, So we have product recommendations all throughout the episodes. 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: So we're not going to do standalone product recommendations because 38 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: we don't want to hurt you. Waltz Okay, probably been 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: through enough. If yours does anything like mine. 40 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: It's taken a beaten after boxing day. 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: Okay, So jumping straight in, then let's start with the basics. 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: What is a jep? What is a do or dupe 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: or not to do? Show? It's weird here we go, 44 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: She's off, she's gone rogue. To dupe would be to 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: like convince to trick someone. Yeah, but that's but that's 46 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: not what a dupe eats. 47 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just think it's not interesting. Yeah, but 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: I do be taken. 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: Do you feel like some brands do doupe in that way. 50 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 51 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: But so the term jupe initially emerged in the early 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: two thousands and is pretty much just an abbreviation of duplicate. 53 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: So the definition of dupe as a cheaper alternative came 54 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: a little later, following the two thousand and eight procession 55 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 2: and the early days of social media when people were 56 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: just starting to share reviews and things like that online. 57 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: And because of that time period and the economic crisis, 58 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: a lot of people were looking for and sharing. 59 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: Ways to save money. 60 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: So the presence of cheaper alternatives to high end products 61 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: isn't really a new thing, although jupe is a word 62 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: that's come into our vocab in recent years a little 63 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: bit more so with that, the perception of juopes has 64 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: evolved over the years, I think the way that we've 65 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: sort of like weaved this word into our conversations. 66 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: A little bit more. 67 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: And the term jupe has less of a negative connotation 68 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: compared to like counterfeit or knockoff. 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: So, as pointed out in an article by The Cut 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: that we read when we were doing research. 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: For this episode, nobody really wants to be like, oh, 72 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: I got this knockoff design a handbag, but they're proud 73 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: to say I got this great jupe like that sounds savvy, 74 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: it does, and exactly what con institutes a dupe is 75 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: also up for debate. While some people insist that the 76 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: two comparing products need to have the exact same formula, fabric, 77 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: composition ingredients, etc. We personally believe that a dupe is 78 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: a product that serves the same purpose at a similar 79 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: quality for a lower price. But I think as well, 80 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: you have to take into consideration what is the purpose 81 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: of that particular product. For example, if you're going to 82 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: be looking at shoes, like a very popular jupe that 83 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 2: was sent in was Birkenstocks versus the Kmart Birkenstock's dupe, right, 84 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: And I think when you're looking at things like this, 85 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: for example as well, if we're looking at boots, like shoes, 86 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: those the quality of those products definitely serve a purpose 87 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: that the quality will differ in the longevity of that product. 88 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: So when you're buying and you're spending more on like 89 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: a pair of leather boots versus the dupe, which is 90 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: going to probably be made out of plastic leather, you're 91 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 2: going to get more wear out of the non dupe 92 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: product that is more expensive. Not saying you need to 93 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: go and buy a designer, designer label anything. That's not 94 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: what we're saying. But it's like when you're looking at 95 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: the quality in that way versus when you're looking at makeup, 96 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: for example, you use makeup the exact same way every day, 97 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: like the way that you use a foundation isn't going 98 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: to differ. So if that's serving the same purpose at 99 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: the same kind of quality and longevity, it doesn't make 100 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: that much of a difference. Yeah, and beauty products have 101 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: a shorter expiration in comparison to say clothes or for 102 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 2: where that also have to be more. 103 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: Durable than a beauty product. 104 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: So we're going to get into the juopes now, but 105 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 2: we cannot discuss jupes and beauty jeops without discussing MC beauty. 106 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 2: So we put a question box up on Instagram and 107 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: ask people to send in their favorite jeopes, and the 108 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: most like buy a landslide. The most things sent in 109 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: were about MC beauty jupes. But we wanted to kind 110 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: of give a little bit of conte and a bit 111 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: of history to this because it's kind of been in 112 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: recent months slash the last year that this brand has 113 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: taken off So for a little bit of history, MC 114 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: Beauty is like the child little sister brand of Model 115 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: Co and was originally a tanning brand. And I remember 116 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: going to Woolies when I was like sixteen and getting 117 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: like Model Co and is in like the pink bottle 118 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: and bing bembong. 119 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: I never used it, it was it good. 120 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: I don't think any tan was really that good back 121 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: You're right, they've come a long way. 123 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I think we've really evolved terms of the 124 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 2: tanning market because I look back on Phonos and I'm like, whoa, 125 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: But who knows. Maybe it was just me being sixteen 126 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: not knowing how to fake tan. Maybe it actually had 127 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: nothing to do tan itself. True, I'm the problem. So 128 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 2: Model Co also sold makeup products, and you can actually 129 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: still buy these on their site and some retailers. In 130 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, they decided to divide the business into two parts. 131 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: According to a Beauty Directory article published in twenty eighteen, 132 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: the quote says, at one end will be Model Co, 133 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: the premium brand sold internationally at high end beauty retailers, 134 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: and the other will be MC Beauty, which has been 135 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: dubbed lux for less. Yeah. And MC Beauty we feel 136 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: has definitely lived up to that lux for less narrative 137 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: over the last six years.

I know what a shower with the rest. Yeah, 181 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: So we've got the Lenege Lip Glowy Balm, which is 182 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: twenty five dollars. 183 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 3: The MCO Beauty Dupe is the Glow. 184 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: Lip Bomb, which is fourteen dollars, the Glossy Air Cloud Paint, 185 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: which is twenty dollars USD.

Then we've 187 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: got the Tart Shape Tape Contour Concealer for fifty dollars, 188 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: also like a viral cold product. The MC Beauty Dupe 189 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: is the Instant Concealer Camouflage and Contour, which is twenty dollars. 190 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: And then last but not lace, another fave the fenty 191 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, which is thirty six dollars, 192 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: and the MC Beauty Dupe is the Power Gloss Ultra 193 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: Shine Lip Gloss, which is thirteen dollars. So pretty much 194 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: all of these products are like almost less than half priced. Yeah, 195 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 2: and like that probably felt like a long list to 196 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: listen to, but that was like half, not even not 197 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: even a quarter of all the products that they've duped. 198 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: And this brand has received a lot of praise for 199 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: supplying affordable dupes, whilst there are some who think the 200 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: ethics of this are a bit blurry. So a forum 201 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: on Beauty Heaven called another day another MC beauty copy 202 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: paste launch spicy. So this post read in the forum, Well, 203 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: MC beauty is added again, this time launching a copy 204 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: paste of the Charlotte till Flawless Filter. Yes, I know 205 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: Elf made a jup, but this is literally a copy 206 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: paste of the CT product. I think this is shameful 207 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: of MC beauty. It's practically copyright infringement. What are your thoughts? Yeah, 208 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: So this particular forum was discussing the MC beauty Flawless Glow, 209 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: which we mentioned is a very obvious dupe for the 210 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter. I think it's important to note 211 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: that MCO Beauty isn't the only brand to dupe this product. 212 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: Like there are other drugstore brands like Elf, Revlon, and 213 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: Revolution that have launched their own version of this CT 214 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: product that everybody loves. 215 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: But one user on. 216 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 2: The forum wrote, I'm all for a jupe. Let's be real, 217 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: No makeup brand owns one type of product and they 218 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: all will make their version of the trends, but the 219 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: packaging being a total ripoff is a bit far in 220 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: my opinion. I'm surprised Charlotte Tilbury isn't taking legal action 221 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: about that one, as it is a bit on the nose. 222 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 2: There was another user, Sidney Swan's nine to ten, also 223 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: said I feel like this shifts the brand a bit 224 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: and now makes them look a bit tacky. It sort 225 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: of gives a fast fashion ripping off other designers feel. 226 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: And there was actually a quote from the CEO where 227 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: of MC beauty where she stated that they have an 228 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 2: entire team about IP and that they investigate, you know, 229 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: that they're not doing an IP infringement or like how 230 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: close they can get to, you know, duoping a product 231 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: without infringing on a copyright. And she did also point 232 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: out that MC beauty, this is a direct quote was 233 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: like the fast fashion of the beauty industry. Yeah, which 234 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: is an interesting way to describe it. 235 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally like they're aware. 236 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: Yes, like and yeah, it seems like that is very 237 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 2: much part of their strategy and branding. However, there was 238 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: one comment on this forum that made a very good 239 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: point and kind of sums up the whole thing quite well. 240 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: It read, I can see that m CO is giving 241 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: people a cheaper option knowing that some people will really 242 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 2: want this product and just can't afford the original. It 243 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: also makes me think that some brands charge too much 244 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 2: for their products if they can be reproduced so cheaply. 245 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: I understand that they have come up with the original 246 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: idea and don't agree it should be copied, but it's 247 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 2: been happening for years with other products. Look at biscuits 248 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: in your local supermarket for instance. Is this the equivalent 249 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: of home brand products made by Colon and Woolworth. It 250 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: might not be ethical, but I think it's here to stay. 251 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 3: Yeah. 252 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: This brings us back to our discussion on the Jeff 253 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 2: Avenue dupe drama a few episodes back last year, and 254 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 2: our sort of take on it is if you don't 255 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 2: agree with juops, that's so fine and completely within your 256 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 2: right not to purchase them, Like that is so okay, 257 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: but like our dupes inevitable kind of like this quote said, like, 258 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: I just I'm not sure if it's ever going to end. 259 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: But it's because of this word dupe, because that has 260 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: become such a trending word that I think more people 261 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: are actually conscious of it than perhaps they were in 262 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: the past. I think people feel quite like fiery about 263 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: this particular situation is because it is every product launch, Yeah. 264 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 3: Which is interesting. 265 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 2: And we saw because another popular brand that gets duped 266 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: on TikTok is Asart. There was a quote from their CCO, 267 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: Suzanne Santos, and they said that people have been duping 268 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: ASoP and brands in general for decades. The TikTok hashtag 269 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: Aesop dupe has almost one million views, with videos showing 270 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: people refilling ASoP bottles with cheap hand wash or shower gel. 271 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: So just because they love Asart and the bottle and 272 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: the packaging and they want that whole vibe. I saw 273 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: someone doing that with Way shampoo and conditioner. Yeah, but 274 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: they like the bottle and they like like their shower 275 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: caddy to look really lux and they put a cheaper 276 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: alternative into those bottles. 277 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, which is so interesting. 278 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: But Suzanne said, we've never spoken publicly about any brands 279 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: that follow that path because it's not something that can 280 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: be resolved. There are people who feel that an alternative 281 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: brand is a viable option for them, and that's the 282 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: glory of choice and democracy. There you go. So what's 283 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: interesting again about this whole thing is no one had 284 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: a reaction like the mc beauty reaction to the Shark 285 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: flex Style versus the dison Air app, which was sent 286 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: in for this episode by the Chicks as a favorite. 287 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: Like when the Shark Flex Style launched, everyone was like, yeah, 288 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: it's like, oh my god, Yes, a cheaper alternative to 289 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: like dyceon, And like the Shark Flextar, there's not a 290 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: lot different in terms of the look. Like when you 291 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: looked at it when it first launched, you're like, yes, 292 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: this is a dice in air app. 293 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 3: Jupe. 294 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: There are some differences that we're going to go into. 295 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: We personally haven't used the Shark flex Style, but a 296 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: few chicks did submit this as a solid jupe. Neither 297 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: of these products are cheap, though, like the Shark flex 298 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: Style product is certainly more affordable, but the Shark Flextyle 299 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: air styling and drying system is four hundred and ninety 300 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: nine dollars and the Dison air Rap is nine hundred 301 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: and forty nine dollars, big difference between the products, but 302 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: the base amount is still expensive. Yeah, all right, So, 303 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: like I'll mention, we're going to run through some of 304 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: the differences between the Dison air Rap and the Shark 305 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: Flex Style and some of the similarities as well. So 306 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: the Flex style comes with a concentrator, the Dison doesn't. 307 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: The Dison air Rap comes with firm, smooth and round 308 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: volumeizing brushes. The Shark Flex style comes with an oval brush, 309 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: paddle brush or diffuser. The air rap comes with three 310 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: curling barrels in zero point eight inch, one point two 311 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: inches or one point six inches, whereas the Shark Flex 312 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: style only comes with two curling barrels in zero point 313 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: nine to five inch and one point twenty five inches. 314 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: The Shark Flex style can work like a traditional hair 315 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: dryer because you can twist it into that ninety degree 316 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: angle that's easier to use to dry hair. And in 317 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 2: a lot of the reviews, people were saying that the 318 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: dice in air rap you don't necessarily use to dry 319 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: your hair from like sopping wet to completely dry, whereas you. 320 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: Can use the Flex style to do that. Because you 321 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: can like flex it into that ninety degree angle. 322 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: I feel like I've used my Dyson to do it 323 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: from like softing wet hair. 324 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 3: But maybe it takes longer because of the shape. 325 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. According to some reviews, the air app 326 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: button placement is more convenient and easier to use. The 327 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: air app also has curling barrels that are easier and 328 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: less awkward to use than the flex Style curlers, which 329 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 2: require switching mid styling if you want to curl your 330 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: hair either toward or away from the face, whereas the 331 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: air App can change the direction of the airflow with 332 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: the flick of a switch. However, that's only the new 333 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 2: dice in air App. The original version one you had 334 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: to change the barrels too, so I wonder if flex 335 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: Style will come out with a version later away you 336 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: don't have to do that as well to compete. Yeah, 337 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 2: they are like a little bit different though, like the 338 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: angle and the diffuser, which I think is the concentrator 339 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: yeah as well, Like you probably know the term diffuser 340 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 2: more than a concentrator. It's like the one that you 341 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: like squish for the koolies. But side by side the 342 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: products do look very similar. And offer similar attachments. In 343 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: reviews we've seen online, both products produce a very similar 344 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: result for both blowouts and curls. However, in some reviews 345 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 2: we've seen that people claim that the dyce In styling 346 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 2: still holds longer than the Shark Flex. So all things 347 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 2: to consider. Yeah, definitely, and a lot of people as 348 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 2: well we're saying like depends on your hair type. Also, 349 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 2: like how much practice that you have at using these products, 350 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: because they, you know, can take a little bit of 351 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 2: practice to make perfect. 352 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 3: So there's also that to consider as well. But at 353 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: the end of the day, products have a purpose, whether it's. 354 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: Beauty clothing or a drink bottle. If it does what 355 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 2: it says, people are gonna buy it. There's also a 356 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 2: site that we found when we were doing research for 357 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: this episode as well, called skin sort, which shows you 358 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: the percent match between products. They show you the percentage 359 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 2: of ingredient match and attribute match. As we said at 360 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: the start, personally, our idea of a jupe is something 361 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 2: that serves the same purpose. 362 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 3: At a similar quality for a cheaper price. 363 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 2: But it's cool to know that there's a resource out 364 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 2: there where you can get that exact ingredient match if 365 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: that's your personal definition of a JEP. But we're going 366 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 2: to share some of our personal favorite jupes, because we 367 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 2: do have quite a few, and then we're going to 368 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: also share some that we don't necessarily think are as 369 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: good as the original that they're duping. Okay, first off, 370 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: the press the Skims Sculpting Body Suit versus the Kmart Jupe. 371 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: I love both of these products, but I think the 372 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 2: Kmart Jupe is. 373 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 3: A pretty good dupe. 374 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 2: The fabric composition is very similar, but when we look 375 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: at the pricing of these products, it is very different. 376 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: So the Skim Sculpting Body Suit is one hundred and 377 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 2: twenty eight dollars. It's gone up. It used to be 378 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: one hundred and nine dollars. Yeah, when I bought mine, 379 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: it was one hundred nine dollars and now it's one 380 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight dollars on the skim Slite and 381 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,239 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty nine dollars from David Jones. And 382 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: the Kmart Jupe is seventeen dollars. And we actually did 383 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: like a try on hall comparing these two products, and 384 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: they are very very similar. I will say that I 385 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: think the Skims one does really like like suck you 386 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: in a lot more, but in saying that, that makes 387 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: it a little bit more uncomfortable than the Kmart one. 388 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 2: So if you want one that's the look but is comfortable, 389 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: definitely go the Kmart one. But if you want one 390 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 2: that's going to work as shapewear and you want to 391 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: spend one hundred and twenty nine dollars on a body suit, 392 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 2: then I would recommend like the Skims one as well, 393 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 2: but the Kmart one is very good. 394 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. 395 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 2: My first fave jupe is the Gannia body suit for 396 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: food repairing cream, which is a dupe of the Sole 397 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: Desionio Brazilian boom boom cream. Don't boom boom. Now, every 398 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: time I was saying bum bum for so long, I 399 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: thought it was bum bum TikTok. 400 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 3: Tell me it's boom boom boom boom. 401 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: There you go boom boom boom. Say way, oh, well, 402 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: but the Garnia version is fourteen dollars ninety nine cents 403 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 2: and the Sole Desonairo is seventy seven dollars. That is 404 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: so yeah, like that is that is a big price difference. 405 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: And also the Garny Air one for fifteen bucks is 406 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty mills, whereas the sold Disionaire is 407 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: two hundred and forty mills, so it's also a smaller 408 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: size as well. 409 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 3: I've tried both. I love the sole Disionira. 410 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, how long did that last year? That's what I 411 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: was going to say. It does not last long, like 412 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 2: it looks like a huge tub. And I remember somebody 413 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: saying on like a podcast that it lasted them like 414 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: a whole year. Well, I went through it in like 415 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: six weeks because I was using it as my everyday moisturizer. 416 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: It's beautiful, it feels amazing on the skin. It smells incredible, 417 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: but like it only lasted me about six to eight weeks, 418 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 2: and it costs almost eighty dollars, Like that is a lot. 419 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: And then when I saw on TikTok that people were like, 420 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: this is a really good jew. I went to chemist 421 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 2: Warehouse and picked up the garniair one and because it's 422 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 2: a slightly bigger size, it lasted me a little bit longer. 423 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: It smells so so similar, and I think that Garnia 424 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: is good for moisturizers. I really like garniea but they 425 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 2: discontinued one of my favorite products. 426 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 3: In the world, So they're on my naughty list right now. 427 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: Do you remember it was this gradual tnding moisturizer I 428 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 2: loved discontinued. They discontinued the Garnia Summer Body gradual moisturizer. 429 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: It was like six dollars and it was so good 430 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 2: And the only place I can find it now is 431 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 2: like some rogue one on Amazon, which like twenty six dollars, 432 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 2: and then on Asos, I think for a similar price point. 433 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: But knowing that it was like six seven dollars, I 434 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: can't justify, but I might, like, I might just buy 435 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 2: it for twenty five dollars because or twenty six dollars 436 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: because it's that good. I don't know why they discontinued it. 437 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: I need to look into whether it's just been like rebranded. 438 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I loved it as well. 439 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 2: Broke my heart, yeah, because I remember I got you 440 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: onto it and I like dragged you to cameras y Yeah, 441 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: and You're like drag and I was like try it, 442 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 2: do it, use it, use it. But anyway, Yeah, So 443 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 2: that Gannia cream is really good and has the same 444 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: like coconuty cent, which I feel like is the draw card. 445 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 3: For the Bone Boom cream for the majority of people. 446 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: Let's be real, Yeah, I'm not a big coconut girl. 447 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 3: Well fuck my drag. 448 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: No next nope, Okay, my next dube is going to 449 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: be probably a shock to no one, But it's a 450 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: duke for the Charlotte tail Ree Flawless Filter. But my 451 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: favorite is actually the Elf Flawless Glow. I can't really 452 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: tell the dear friends stowing these products and I love it. 453 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: Soals also tried it, she also loves it. And the 454 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: Flawless Globe is like half the price, nearly half the 455 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 2: price of the Flawless Filter. And because as well, for 456 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 2: things like foundation, if you're wearing makeup every day, you're 457 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 2: just going to turn through it, and it's just nice. 458 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 2: I don't like using my really expensive foundations for like 459 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 2: the every day where that you know, it's just kind 460 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 2: of to feel a bit more put together. Like I 461 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 2: like to save my spenny good ones for like evenings 462 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 2: or nights out or like special occasions, which probably isn't 463 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 2: a good habit to have because they've got an expiry 464 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 2: date on there. But yeah, it is a really really 465 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 2: good jip and you can get it from price Line 466 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 2: and then the other one that I have is Flower Beauty, 467 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: which you can get from Chemist Warehouse, and they just 468 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: have they have a bunch of joops there Drew Barrymore's brand, 469 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 2: and they are so freaking affordable. 470 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: I feel like it's kind of slept on. 471 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 2: It's so slept on. I don't know why Flower Beauty 472 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: is so slept on. I think it's a lot bigger 473 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: in America than it is in Australia.

There was one 502 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 2: jube on Amazon that was eleven dollars and they like 503 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: went superviral. 504 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 3: They're like a really close match. 505 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 2: And we'd seen as well, like some people were talking 506 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: about buying design and jewelry and it's still tarnished. Yeah, 507 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: so these earrings as well, they're. 508 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 3: Like a statement piece. They're not like your. 509 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 2: Little hoops that you're going to be wearing in the shower, 510 00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: the earrings that you're going to be pulling out for 511 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 2: special events and probably not wearing to the beach. So 512 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 2: in terms of buying like the cheaper alternative that Mike Tarnish, 513 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'm fine with that. 514 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 3: So there's the eleven dollar version from Amazon. 515 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: But also Meshki has a pretty close jupe as well, 516 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 2: but they're like the double tear drop shape rather than 517 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: like the single tear drop so it's not the exact 518 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 2: same jupe similar but where you got sent those? And 519 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: I was like, it gives the same look. Yeah, we 520 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: always get like someone in the comments being like where 521 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 2: are they from? Yeah? 522 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 3: Exactly. 523 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: Okay, moving into our worst jupes, So where we actually 524 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 2: prefer the og the og? So my first one is 525 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup dupes versus the Kmart jupe. So Stanley 526 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: Cup's are around sixty dollars. I think they're fifty nine 527 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 2: to ninety nine and the Kmart jup is fifteen dollars. 528 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: So the reason why I prefer the original is because 529 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: of the Kmart dupe isn't actually the same product. It 530 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 2: keeps it cold for four hours, whereas the Stanley Cup 531 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: keeps it cold for twelve hours. Like I put ice 532 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: in my Stanley Cup before I go to bed and 533 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 2: when I wake up there's still ice in there. And 534 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 2: then with the kmup one, it's kind of cold at 535 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 2: four hours, but like not really like it does serve 536 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 2: a purpose. If you just want an emotional support water 537 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: bottle that kind of keeps your water cool, it will 538 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 2: do the job. Because they do both leak, like if 539 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: you turn them upside down, Yeah, water comes out of 540 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: both of them. 541 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, which confuses me. Yeah, I didn't realize. 542 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: That when I got the Stanley Cup because I brought 543 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup to compare them. Yeah, that I was like, eh, okay, 544 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 2: weird vibe that it's kind of like my Stanley cup 545 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: or the Kmart jupe is kind of what you use 546 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: at home. That's how I see it. Yeah, and then 547 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: the Frank Green is like the on the go because 548 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: you can actually close it because you can't chuck either 549 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: of these in your bag. Yeah weird. But then I 550 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: don't know. But yeah, so the quality of these products 551 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: shouldn't be chucking that they're different because the price point 552 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: is very very different. But one does a better job 553 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 2: at doing what it says it does. But the came 554 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: up one also doesn't say that it will keep you know, 555 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: your ice in the cup when it's in a house fire. 556 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: You know, it's not being like I am just as good, 557 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: like yeah, like it does what it says if I do, 558 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: But that offering isn't as good as the Stanley Cup. 559 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 2: But when we asked you chicks for your favorite jupes, 560 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: the Kmart Stanley Cup dupe was one that was submitted 561 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 2: a lot and a lot of people were like, I. 562 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 3: Take this to work and like use it during the day. Yeah, 563 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 3: so that's the thing. 564 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: If you're at work and you're going to be filling 565 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: up your cut more than once. That's that's good point 566 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 2: because as well, you said that you would drink one 567 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 2: of those within four hours, crazy, whereas I wouldn't, Like, 568 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: I would probably sip that the whole day, so I 569 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: want that to be cold the whole day, whereas you 570 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: would go through that whole cup within four hours, whereas 571 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 2: on a camel and I'm like water IWI. 572 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 573 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 2: My not so favorite dupe is the og X Renewing 574 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 2: and Hydrating and show Argon Oil of Morocco penetrating oil, 575 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 2: which is thirty dollars from chemis squarehouse versus the original product, 576 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: which is the Oliplex number seven bonding oil, which is 577 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: fifty four dollars. 578 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: So I had. 579 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 2: Used the Oliplex one initially and loved it, but then 580 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: I'd seen on I think in some beauty articles that 581 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 2: this oil was a good jupe, and I tried it, 582 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 2: and it is a good product. It's not a bad 583 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: product by any means, but I do prefer the Oliplex 584 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: one because it is a lighter oil. Oils are tricky, 585 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: and they can be tricky depending on your hair type. 586 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: Because I've got finer hair. I don't need a super 587 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: thick hair oil because my hair is already getting dragged 588 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: down because it's so long but also thin. And I 589 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: just find that the Oliplex one sits in my hair 590 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 2: nicer and works better for my hair type, Whereas I 591 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 2: was like, yeah, the other one is twenty five dollars cheaper, 592 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 2: but I don't think it works as well with my 593 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 2: hair personally, And that's just like a singular thing, like 594 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 2: it might like the jupe might work better for someone 595 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 2: else exactly. Yeah. 596 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 597 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 2: The next thing that I think you shouldn't dupe dupe 598 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 2: is furniture. I have been burned by like cheaping out 599 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: on furniture in the past. I ended up with a 600 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 2: couch for ants. I got like the world's tiniest couch. 601 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: It came in the box and my old roommate and 602 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 2: I were looking at it and she was like, is 603 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 2: that the whole couch in that box? And I was like, apparently. 604 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 2: And then we built it and she was like, did 605 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 2: you check the measurements? And I was like, look, no, 606 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: was it like a kid's couch. 607 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 3: No, that was. 608 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: Apparently a three seater couch. And honestly, half my ass 609 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: cheek couldn't sit on it, like I was falling off 610 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: at half the time, one of us would have to 611 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 2: sit on the floor. 612 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 3: Oh my, it was bad. 613 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: And then I did it again when I got bedside 614 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: tables and I was like fifty dollars each. I was 615 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 2: like for these like mid century modernish style like bedside tables. 616 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: They came for ants. Again, I was like, oh, so 617 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 2: that's the thing is. I saw this TikTok about a 618 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 2: chick buying the cloud couch dupe and it was less 619 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 2: than a thousand dollars. And I think when we're looking 620 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 2: at furniture, we have to ask ourselves, why is this 621 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 2: so cheap? Like there is probably we've got to have 622 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: that little alarm bell, especially with furniture with joops. There 623 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 2: definitely are items that you can get more bang for 624 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 2: your buck and that I think you can get more 625 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: affordable options, Like I've spoken about Ikea that I think 626 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 2: they're at a really great price point for the quality amount. 627 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 2: But like she was posting about this cloud couch and 628 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: she posted it when she first got it, and she 629 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 2: was like, I love it, It's amazing. And then after 630 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: a month she posted it and all the pillows had shrunk, 631 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: the cushioning on the inside had fallen apart, like it 632 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 2: was like like limp, Like it was a flaccid couch. 633 00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 3: Nobody wants that. 634 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,239 Speaker 2: Nobody wants a placid couch, and it just it just 635 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 2: didn't look good. And again it happened with my Puppisan 636 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 2: couch when I thought I was buying the whole thing 637 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: on Amazon, and then I just got the cushion and 638 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: then the cushion was really thin. Then I had to 639 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 2: get another couch and rip up the cushioning and then 640 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 2: stuff that in there. So I just don't think you 641 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,239 Speaker 2: should buy dupes for furniture on the internet, unless like 642 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 2: you can go in store, see it in person, sit 643 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 2: on it, look at the size of it and all 644 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 2: that stuff. Because it's just a bit risky. Yeah, especially 645 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 2: for something like a couch or a bed or a 646 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: rug that needs to be durable and will be used 647 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 2: a lot. I think it's different if it's say like 648 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: a vase, yes, you know, or something like that that 649 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 2: isn't really getting used or laid on or whatever, Whereas 650 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 2: a couch, like they take a beating, so it could. 651 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 2: So it is definitely worth like spending all money and 652 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 2: going for the one that is. 653 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 3: Maybe a little bit of a higher price tag, but 654 00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 3: a better. 655 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 2: Quality of all life longer than like the dupe that's 656 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: going to fall apart in two seconds. Yeah, this video, 657 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 2: I'll find it and I'll link it in the show 658 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 2: notes or we can put it, stitch it on TikTok 659 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 2: or something. But I was like whoa, because I remembered 660 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 2: i'd seen the original and then the jupe, and I was. 661 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 3: Like yeap, yeah. 662 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: My final jupe is the Kmart Spring Blush perfume for 663 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 2: twelve dollars, which is allegedly a jupe for the Gucci 664 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 2: Bloom perfume, which is two hundred and fifty dollars. The 665 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 2: Gucci Bloom is one of my signature cents. 666 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 3: I absolutely love it. 667 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 2: I've been wearing it for years and years. But I 668 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 2: had gone through a stint where I'd finished my bottle 669 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 2: and I hadn't got a new one, and I saw 670 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: that this was apparently a good jupe, and Alex and 671 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 2: I love Camart. You chicks know that we love a 672 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 2: good jupe from Kmart. 673 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 3: So I was like, oh, I'll try it. It wasn't 674 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 3: as good as the Gucci Bloom. 675 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 2: Like, I'll just say that, I think that it's still 676 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 2: you know, smellt Yeah, it's smelt similar. It smelt similar, 677 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 2: like I definitely could see the sim milarities, but I 678 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 2: just didn't think that the scent was as nice and 679 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 2: it didn't last as long on the skin for me. 680 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 2: So I think that as a thirty year old woman 681 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 2: who invests in the Gucci bloomers like a treat for 682 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: myself that I wear on special occasions and I want 683 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 2: to have that like luxury feeling. I was like, the 684 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 2: Kmart one was good, but like it didn't hit that. 685 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 686 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 2: When we were talking about this, as well. I asked you. 687 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 2: I was like, do you think you can smell the 688 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 2: difference though, because this is your signature exactly. Yeah, like, 689 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 2: which I think how we like drink coke zero and 690 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 2: normal coke and we're like nah, and that's that. I'm 691 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: so easy, you know, because we love it and I'm 692 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 2: obsessed that, like maybe the average man or woman wouldn't 693 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: be able to tell the difference in the sense, And 694 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 2: given the reviews that I've seen on TikTok and whatnot, 695 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: I think that is definitely the case because people love it. 696 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 2: But the thing is, you're going to have to be 697 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 2: reapplying it throughout the day if you want the center 698 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 2: last all day. I do think with perfume, the more 699 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 2: you the more you spend, the quality does improve with 700 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 2: a lot of brands, Like my mum is like a 701 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 2: Chanell girl till she dies and that scent will haunt 702 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 2: me until I'm lowered into the grave. Yeah, Like if 703 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 2: someone walks past me, I can smell the Chanel number 704 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 2: five as they go past, like and I'm just like, mum, Yeah, 705 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 2: Chanelle Chance is my other one for anyone playing it birthdays, 706 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: I was like, and they sad word and my seventy 707 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: second favorite perfume.

If you wanted to, 741 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 2: I think that would be a different story. I'd be like, yeah, 742 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 2: go for it. Your nursing degree will also be back, 743 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 2: will still be there for you to complete when you 744 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 2: come back. But it doesn't sound like you want to. 745 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 2: It sounds like your degree is your priority and that's 746 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 2: so fair. Yeah, I don't think it should. I don't 747 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 2: think that should change. Yeah, because as well, then then 748 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 2: you could just go to Europe. You could go on 749 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 2: this backing pack, backing peck, you know, you could go 750 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 2: on this trip. There we go and it's done, Like 751 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 2: you're not like, oh, when I get back, I've got 752 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 2: to finish my nursing degree. Yeah, like you've got something 753 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 2: kind of weighing you down, not negatively, but there is 754 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 2: just an obligation when you return that I think sometimes 755 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 2: when you do go and you go on a long trip, 756 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 2: when you get back, you might not actually end up 757 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 2: finishing that, and then you might be mad at yourself 758 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: for doing that, and then you may hold resentment for 759 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 2: the reason as to why you didn't finish what you started. Yeah, 760 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 2: and also, you know what, rereading that first sentence again, 761 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 2: So you two have been together for six months and 762 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 2: he's going on a backpacking trip. 763 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 3: To Europe for a year. 764 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 2: I personally wouldn't commit to traveling with someone for a 765 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 2: duration that's longer than the time that you've been together. 766 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not doubting. 767 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 2: That this person might be the one for you, but 768 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, if they are the one, 769 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 2: it's very early days in the relationship. And also, traveling 770 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 2: with someone does often bring up potential issues in a 771 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 2: relationship that you might not realize are they're when you're home, 772 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 2: because it can be like a high stress situation and 773 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: bring it together or apart exactly. And if you have 774 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: paused your nursing degree to go on this trip, that 775 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 2: you're not really one hundred percent your heart's in. You 776 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 2: could end up resenting your partner if some of these 777 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 2: issues come up and you're like, well, fuck, I could 778 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,240 Speaker 2: have been at home finishing my degree. Yeah, and instead 779 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 2: I followed you because you wouldn't compromise with me. You're 780 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 2: about to finish it. Just yeah, I would think, I 781 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 2: think have a very open and empathetic conversation, understanding that 782 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 2: this is something that he really wants to do, that 783 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 2: he feels very passionate about, and that you aren't trying 784 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 2: to stop him from doing that, you aren't trying to 785 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 2: be in the way of doing that, and that you 786 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 2: would really love to go with him. So to be 787 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 2: able to do that, which he also wants you to do, 788 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 2: is to meet in the middle of compromise and when 789 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 2: I finish my nursing degree, we can go. Also throw 790 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 2: in some pros more time to say, you can have 791 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 2: more time to plan it. Like I'm thinking about to 792 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,760 Speaker 2: finish my nursing degree is like six months to a year. Yeah, 793 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: If it's two years, that's probably a little bit too 794 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 2: long to ask someone to wait to go and do 795 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: their like pray love trick. I don't know yeah, but 796 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I just hate the idea of a long 797 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 2: distance but everyone is different. Like some people can stomach it, 798 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 2: but like I'm way too needy. I'm like I need 799 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 2: a cuddle, I need attention. Yeah, it would definitely be 800 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 2: like that would be a huge sacrifice for both of you. 801 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, I agree, you need to have 802 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 2: a conversation with him about it, and I would yeah, 803 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 2: definitely put forward like can you hold off for six 804 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 2: months to a year? Maybe you guys could go on 805 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 2: like a local trip or like a closer trip like 806 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 2: go to Bali or New Zealand, ye or something like 807 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 2: that to compromise so that he can still get. 808 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 3: His traveling fix. 809 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 2: Or could he start and you meet him. Yeah, like, 810 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 2: if you've got six months left, could he go for 811 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 2: six months, do his eat, pray, love, and then you 812 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 2: meet him. We got options, Yeah, compromise, compromise. Relationships are 813 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 2: all about exactly. But yeah, that is tricky, But I 814 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 2: definitely think you should finish your degree.
