For beautiful people, even rags look good on them.

Well for beautiful people, no clothes looks the best on them
Dupes are most relevant when the product itself does not depend on the packaging and looks it comes in, hence why perfumes are one of the best. As long as you have the right concoction of chemicals, you can get the same fragrance - why pay more for luxury packaging if the differentiating factor will not be visible most of the time? If you want an exact replica though, dupes aren't for you. And no, dupes are not the same as counterfeit products, but you can consider all of them as under the umbrella of imitations and recreations. Clothes with intricate and unique designs or high quality control demands would not be as suitable to get a dupe since the difference tends to be more obvious
If you are not rich, why would you want to pretend to be rich? I think it is better to pretend to be poor. When i was in my 30s, i still looked like a student. And i actually got discounts from shops thinking that I am a poor student.
Easier to follow comparisons eg if nuggets quantity is also shown with price.
Such a clever way to save money without sacrificing quality! 🙌 Exploring dupes not only helps stretch your budget but also adds an element of fun and discovery to everyday shopping.
Wah nowadays use the term dupe ah? In the past, we just say fake or counterfeit goods. Like that also can ah? Power sia
Thank God, we are not fans of big brands and for fashion we always buy affordable products like UNIQLO or we buy materials and have them made at a tailor, especially because I'm petite and my husband is tall. For perfume, my husband always buys European brands from the Fragonard brand and the quality is good at a reasonable price.. For accessories such as watches we get Swiss brands such as Wenger and the brands are good quality at affordable prices.. so I don't think we're missing on things 😅
Andrea losing out of touch with common Singaporeans.
who can forget the saga between her husband Charles Yeo and Imran Rahim. Best plot twist ever sweeping under the rug
Dupe is fine for her. Watch her grind the perfume on her skin and you will understand.
First pride tempura chicken nuggets taste almost identical to mcd nuggets
But perfume dupes has a different dry down
Sorry, it's grossly misleading to label similar food as DUPES which is a degatory word for imitation .... My mom fried chicken taste like KFC but I don't call it a DUPE ... unless the food or goods are packaged in an identical pack like another brand ..... So please don't simply flaunt the word DUPE if you are unclear of the meaning of the word .... sad that CNA is using click-bait headlines to kure views !!!

Dupe is not a derogatory word at all, it’s used all the time in the beauty community for items that work the same at a way more reasonable price point. I think you need to relax..

Relax wallahi
Next is to find dupes for air tickets.
What do you mean why? Those big brands werent even targetting the peasants, they target the rich, but poor kept buying big brands lmao
I mean, if u choose the dupe over the real brand u're missing the point. If cant afford it then buy another affordable brand.. afraid of losing face??? Then u hv a wrong friend circle.

Depends on the item. I have a mijia vacuum cleaner which is "dupe" of Dyson, good enough to use and much cheaper. For clothing,I find it stupid buying overly expensive branded stuffs,clothes will wear our,Uniqlo good enough. Food wise,I agree,just buy real thing and savor the real taste.
Andrea is so hot 🙂
OMG I cant stop laughing when the catwalk came out but the face cannot make it ayio cannot afford real thing then go for fake. The problem with the current generation.
The correct word for "dupe" is counterfeit product or fake. Organised crime earns more from fake products than from drugs. And you seem to advertise for organised crime here.

The luxury companies themselves overinflating the product because of monopoly or they can while doesn't pay the Bangladeshi underage employees isn't an organized crime itself to you? What's your justification for selling a coin purse as expensive as USD 1000, for a USD 5 capital goods and not even USD 1 for the salary a day per person? Which one does organized crime better you think? I'm not supporting criminal organization, but the brands themselves aren't saint
I don’t like to spend so much on a piece of clothing or shoes. I prefer to often change them so that I can have excuses to always buy new clothes. 🤣 If not, ppl will always see u wearing the same old clothing. Thinking that u got no money to buy new clothes ah. Anyway, the cheaper the item is, the more you won’t feel guilty throwing it away. Now is all abt fast fashion.

I enjoy wearing the same cloths even if I have a lot and buy too much. Thing is I am trying to dress down and to look like less money and I think it is quite funny that rich people try to look poorer and the poor and trying to look richer. Remember that some people who wear old army pants and hoodies have walk in closets with bespoke suits and all. I hate wearing suits and ties. Hoodies are so much better to not attract attention.
