Cheap Treats: Natural Look Palette (Too Faced Natural Dupe)

Each week I'll share a cheap treat (fewer than $10) that I love! Enjoy. Love, Elle

My Lil Sis and I were doing some Birthday Shoppin' (thanks Mama & Kenny) and stopped by Rue21. As we were checking out, I noticed this palette and did a double-take...it looked so familiar! I had to open it up, and when I did, I instantly recognized it:
It looks like the Too Faced Natural Palette!

But the Rue21 palette cost $6.99. And the Too Faced cost $36. Seriously? It was a no brainer--it went right into my bag. Let's look at it in more detail:
 Closer, you say?
I love the neutral, natural shades, and the quality of the shadows is good for the value--just use a primer first. If requested, I can do a look with the palette--let me know in the comments. This palette is great for traveling, keeping in the purse for on-the-go touch ups, or as a gift (stocking stuffer alert!). Don't forget it's also a really freakin' cheap dupe for Too Faced's Natural Palette ($7 vs $36!) and has similar shades comparable to my beloved UD Naked Palette.. Edit: I'm not the only one to figure this out! I found this blog that does a great comparison of the two palettes.

What Cheap Treat have you found lately?

PS: I did a GUEST POST over at I Would So Rock This for my possible bday karaoke party outfit. Go check out her adorableness!

    6 verses 36? How sneaky!!

    I LOVE neutral/natural looking make up. Problem is that I am very dark toned. I have almost black hair, honey brown eyes, and olive skin. Natural tones don't look that great on me. Maybe you can post something that would match a darker complexion? I'm always looking for makeup tips b/c I stink at doing it myself :(

    No FREAKING way. I LOVE Too Faced palettes! How is the consistency of the powders? and the saturation/pigmentation?

    I think I had a smokey eye too faced palette once many moons ago and really liked it. I should buy another one sometime. Sounds like a good idea to me!

    The palate is pretty but I'd love to see a look. Actually, two, to be precise. Can you do a natural look using the palate and a made up look? I know it's a neutral palate, but I wonder if you can manage to make it bold!

    I think that'd be a really cool feature.

    So similar!! And what an amazing color palette, that would be perfect for my daytime life!

    My cheap trick lately has been not buying new makeup :) I have so much that I've been making my way through it before I buy new stuff!!!

    Also, I love that you read Columbine!!! Yes, I own it and LOVE it and even talk to the author about it a lot on Twitter (he's very attainable and so nice). It IS amazing how much was wrong. I was particularly moved by the chapter about Dylan's family holding the funeral for him... that made me cry. They seemed like decent people and I bet mourning their son was horrible given how he went out. ahhh, sorry- I could talk forever. THanks for bringing that up, you made my day!

    The natural look looks amazing on so many many women, I think it is so much better than the dramatic look.
