IN this cost-of-living crisis, beauty junkies are turning to pharmacies to look for more affordable options.
Enter: Designer Brands (DB) Cosmetics, which takes inspiration from luxury brands and has just released its Cult Classics collection - with products all under $25.
The 12-piece range includes products for face, brows, eyes and lips, such as the Miracle Smoother ($16.99), which is comparable to products from Trinny London and the Lip Boost Plumping Treatment ($12.99), inspired by Dior.
The collection also includes the Kohl Eye Pencil ($7.99), similar to one from Chanel; a Lush Moisturising Lipstick ($12.99) that is like YSL's and the Hi-Light Illuminating Beauty Wand ($16.99), which could be mistaken for Charlotte Tilbury's viral highlighter. "Cult Classics features what we believe to be 'must-have' essential items in any makeup bag," said DB Cosmetics Senior Brand Manager Katrina Sartitsis.
"We've put our own spin on these tried-and-true industry icons and the result is a reliable, versatile collection of products that rival their luxury counterpart.
"The range is a great reminder that you can purchase high-quality, high-performance products at an affordable price point," she added.
