In this episode, Julia and Sasa are breaking down the dupe economy in 2026 — and testing everything live. From Trader Joe's secret beauty operation (yes, they're a $16B private label empire) to the most-requested dupes at Ulta, they cover it all with ratings, ingredient breakdowns, and zero filter.
Products tested: Trader Joe's vs Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, Drunk Elephant Marula Oil, Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream | e.l.f. vs Milk Hydro Grip Primer | Morphe vs Patrick Ta Blush | NYX vs Tarte Maracuja Lip | Milani vs Tarte Shape Tape | Maybelline vs One/Size Setting Powder | Bubble vs Rhode Milky Toner | Naturium vs Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid
