    16 Product Dupes That Are Just As Good As The Real Thing

    Why spend almost $100 on sandals when you can spend less than $30?

    We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the product dupes they love as much as the real thing. From makeup products to shoes to accessories, here are their product substitution faves that come super close to the real thing!

    Note: Not all submissions are from Community users.

    1. A NYX Micro Brow Pencil for making your eyebrows, as the kids say, "on fleek," for less money than the popular Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz.

    2. A Steven Madden backpack that'll help you carry your most treasured belongings. Plus, don't forget about packing all the money you're gonna save by purchasing a backpack that's less than half the cost of Herschel Supply Co.

    3. A L'Oréal mascara to elongate your lashes and your bank account, rather than purchasing the pricier, similar, Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. Even their rosy pink tubes are comparable!

    4. An OuterEQ hammock for starting your next camping trip off on the right foot with an item basically half the cost of the reputable ENO hammock.

    5. Cushionaire Slide Sandals to give your feet some comfort, without sacrificing on style — we won't tell anyone you bought these instead of Birkenstocks if you don't.

    6. A Fossil watch so you can treat yourself to a gorgeous, crystal-studded, rose gold piece...and then treat yourself again with all the money you might've spent on a Michael Kors watch.

    7. A Zenda Naturals blending sponge for blending your makeup at a much cheaper price than you would with the beautyblender — they do the same thing, promise.

    8. A Takeya water bottle to keep your cold beverages cold, and your hot beverages hot at a fraction of the price of the beloved Hydro Flask.

    9. A Wet n Wild lipstick that packs on the pigmentation as wonderfully as a brand like MAC does, without making you pack on hefty credit card charges.

    10. An Oral-B toothbrush for getting your pearly whites just as fresh and clean and shiny as Philips Sonicare can. I heard Chip Skylark approves of this dupe!

    11. Revolution Beauty's Bake and Blot Translucent Powder that delivers the fabulous results that Fenty's Blotting Powder does at a fraction of the cost — maybe you can use the money you save on this to go towards buying some cool Rihanna merch instead.

    12. A NYX eyeliner to create the perfect winged effect much like the beloved Kat Von D Tattoo eyeliner.

    13. A digital food thermometer you can buy for SO much cheaper than this other great food thermometer. Who needs to spend an absurd amount of money on something they just need to give them a temperature reading?

    14. A Maybelline translucent setting powder to help your cosmetics stay on your face and your money in your bank account, rather than spending it all on the similar Aesthetica translucent setting powder.

    15. A LuckyZ lightweight canvas backpack so you can pack away your belongings for the day in a bag that is just as reliable and functional, not to mention similar-looking to the Fjällräven Kanken classic backpack.

    16. Nivea moisturizing creme for keeping your skin silky smooth a super duper long time, and for WAYYY less than La Mer moisturizing cream.

    "Eh, I don't really wanna save money," — said no one, ever.
