**The Ultimate Guide to Affordable and Stylish Essentials**

As someone who loves trying out new products and trends, I'm always on the lookout for affordable alternatives that don't compromise on quality. In this video, I'll be sharing my favorite finds across various categories, from fashion to beauty and home decor.

**Scrunch Leggings: A Must-Have for Any Wardrobe**

I'm obsessed with these scrunch leggings, which have become a staple in my wardrobe. They're so comfortable that I often find myself wearing them even when I know I'll get unwanted attention. The quality of these leggings is top-notch, and they're incredibly soft to the touch. I've been searching for the perfect pair for ages, and finally, I found one that checks all the boxes.

I've tried several brands before, but none have compared to these scrunch leggings. They're so well-made that I can tell they'll last for a long time. The material is also breathable, which makes them perfect for everyday wear. Whether you're running errands or just lounging around, these leggings are sure to become your new favorite.

**Beauty Essentials: Affordable Makeup Brushes and the Nyx Brow Pen**

When it comes to beauty products, I'm always on the lookout for affordable alternatives that don't compromise on quality. One of my favorite makeup brushes is this incredible Dual Ended Brush from the Beauty Blender brand. It's available for under $10, making it an absolute steal compared to the IT Cosmetics Double Ended Brush.

I was blown away by the quality and performance of this brush, which is comparable to high-end brands like IT Cosmetics. The bristles are densely packed, and the handle is comfortable to hold. This brush has become a staple in my makeup routine, and I use it for both foundation and loose powder application.

Another beauty essential that I highly recommend is the Nyx Brow Pen. After months of raving about this product, I finally got my hands on one, and I'm obsessed! It's a game-changer for anyone looking to achieve perfectly groomed brows without breaking the bank.

The Nyx Brow Pen is a dupe for the Anastasia Brow Pen, which is significantly more expensive. While it may not be as pigmented, this alternative holds its own and has become my go-to brow product. I've tried several shades, but I find that a slightly darker shade looks more flattering on me.

**Affordable Sunglasses: A Stylish Alternative**

When it comes to sunglasses, I'm not willing to spend top dollar just for the sake of looking cool. Instead, I look for affordable alternatives that still deliver on style and quality. I recently found these incredible sunglasses that are almost indistinguishable from the Dior sunglasses I've been eyeing (which cost a whopping $450).

The frames are sleek and modern, and they look great on just about anyone with a normal-sized face. However, if you have a smaller face like mine, these sunglasses might not be the best fit. But for those with average to larger faces, I highly recommend checking them out.

**Home Decor Essentials: Affordable Dishware and Hair Throw Blankets**

When it comes to home decor, I'm always on the lookout for affordable alternatives that still deliver on style and quality. Recently, I picked up this 12-piece dishware set from Pottery Barn, which was a fraction of the price of their original sets.

The stoneware material is gorgeous, and the different colors and washes add a touch of elegance to any room. These dishes are also handmade-like in quality, making them a great addition to any home. Plus, they're easy on the wallet – a steal at under $80!

For hair throw blankets, I'm inspired by these Pottery Barn blankets that were super expensive. Instead, I created my own versions with a similar aesthetic and look, but at a fraction of the cost.

These hair throw blankets have been a game-changer for elevating the look and feel of any room in the house – from sofas to outdoor furniture. They're also incredibly functional, protecting your furniture from spills and stains while adding a touch of sophistication.

**The Ultimate Alternative: AirPods Max Lookalikes**

Last but not least, I want to talk about my favorite affordable alternative to high-end headphones: the AirPods Max lookalike headphones. These are available for under $40, making them an absolute steal compared to the real deal (which costs around $450).

While they're not as high-quality in terms of sound quality, these headphones do get the job done. I use mine primarily for listening to podcasts and audiobooks while doing chores or relaxing at home.

The battery life is also impressive, lasting forever on a single charge. However, one thing that bothered me was the seam on the earpad – so I've since got a cover to prevent any irritation. Overall, these headphones are a great alternative for those who want the look of high-end headphones without breaking the bank.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI'm cheap but I don't like to look cheap that is kind of the theme behind today's video I have found some of the best designer inspired look for less I'm calling it Luxe for Less items all found on Amazon extremely affordable I will have the links as always down in the description box and also as the first pin comment and if you are watching this video and you are not yet subscribed to my channel take a moment press that red subscribe button you'll just be notified of my future videos and it's free and we have a good time here so with all that said we're going to get started with some cute bags starting with this beauty right here this is a Dior inspired saddle bag for a fraction of the price okay the original Dior bag is close to two thousand dollars this one right here is under 30 and I was so blown away by the quality and the detail I really love the look of this roped leather trim around the flap and also on this shorter handle and I do want to make a clarification here none of these are knockoffs are not pretending to be the designer bag they just have that similar look I think this is the perfect cute little summer bag in fact I just wore this out to the farmer's market and I got a compliment on it my first time wearing it up next is a look for less of the beach bag of the summer the bog bag I don't know if you've seen them around they are very trendy and viral right now but they're 120 bucks so I found this one on Amazon that looks nearly identical has the same features and functionality and it is less than half the price of the reason everybody loves this bag and it's so incredibly popular is because first of all it is gigantic you can fit all of your Beach Essentials and it has the open top so it's easy to put things in grab things out it is waterproof sand proof very durable and these little holes in here have functionality there's all these little add-ons you can pop in and out and a couple Essentials I keep in my beach bag are also designer inspired and they are these adorable pouches that have that same kind of a look and feel to them as the Stony Clover bags do I'm sure you've seen those around they are so adorable but they are also so incredibly expensive I am offended by the price so for example the Stoney Clover version of this exact same bag same size same shape also says stuff on it I will show you the picture 163 versus under 10 bucks 9.99 to me that is a no-brainer I love these for travel I love these for the beach bag I also got one that says Sun so I'm going to keep the kids sunglasses and sunscreen in this one and what I love about these besides just how cute and bright and fun they are is that they are durable and wipeable so if you have any spills or anything in here you can just easily clean them out so the other day I got an Instagram ad for the cutest travel bag I had ever seen had so many cool features to it so it's a garment bag that converts into a duffel bag and I was like I need this I clicked on it and the price stopped me in my track so I'm like I wonder if there's something similar on Amazon and you know I found it it actually has not arrived yet so I will show you what I love about it is you can put your nice jackets your dresses things you don't want to get wrinkled in the garment bag compartment and then it folds up into itself and becomes a duffel bag so you can put the rest of your stuff and take that with you when you travel so I'm very excited to use this one the Lululemon puff bags have you seen those around they are very popular right now well they're also 119 dollars so if you want something that looks similar for a whole lot less it is so adorable so soft and this material it's made with is very durable if you've got any spills or scratches or anything like that it would wipe right off this is another one of my favorites in this video if you have seen or hide your eye on the Prada pouch bags they're very popular right now the original is 1000 in 950 which is just crazy to me because theirs is made out of nylon like this one our look for Less is under 30. 26.99 currently and I love the blush pink color pretty faux pebbled leather the little chain strap and of course your pouch what would you keep in this pouch I'm probably going to keep my little sensory earbuds that I have on me at all time now let's get into my specialty category athleisure because I pretty much live in athleisure so we're going to start with the top that I'm wearing it looks a lot like an aloe yoga top I will show you what the aloe one looks like that one is close to 70 dollars this one is less than half the price and the quality of this is Top Notch like it's really thick buttery soft I have it in two colors and I just love the detail on it the one thing I will say about this top if you have a larger chest I would say if you are a d cup or higher it's probably not going to fit or you would have a lot of cleavage going on so just keep that in mind but absolutely love this top it is one of my favorite workout Tops This bodysuit is skims inspired specifically because of the fabric it's that same type of silky really nice quality thick fabric as the skims like I'm a big fabric person and to be honest with you that is why I don't talk all that much about Amazon fashion items because I don't always have the best luck and this one is so well made I love this vibrant blue color and the cut of this is really special this is an amazing alternative to the Lululemon scuba half sip the Lulu version is 118 this one is 35 and comes in a lot of pretty fun colors but for me where I wear this like I go to Pilates early in the morning so I wear this on top another one of my weird random passions leggings you guys at one point I was going to come out with my own legging brand so these that I'm wearing right now are the definitive Lulu align look for Less in my opinion I've tried them all tried so so many these are my favorite and the price difference is staggering these are a full hundred dollars less the look The feel the quality are amazing they're very comparable to the alliance and one thing I will say because a lot of times the less expensive leggings over time the waistband starts to get loose on me but these ones do not like I've had these and washed them many times and they are still nice and tight and the quality is there like I just love them so much my other favorite leggings I call these the butt catfish leggings because if you want your booty to look amazing sculpted lifted if you don't have much going on and you want to make it look like you do you need these the original the high end are the alphalete they are known for being the best scrunch leggings like these are so good I have to wear these with caution I have to be careful where I wear these because sometimes they will get you unwanted attention let's move into Beauty this brush you guys is the best inexpensive makeup brush I have ever found like added to your cart it's around 10 bucks it's the Dual ended brush and it is very comparable to the IT Cosmetics double ended brush which is I think 40 around 40. this one 11.99 and it's a two for one so I use this side for my Foundation this side for my loose powder like if you gave me this brush to use I would think it was a high-end brush that's how good it is the quality the density how it applies your makeup on your face is just 10 out of 10. also in the beauty category if you have not yet tried the Nyx brow pen after months and months of me talking about it going on and on about it it is my favorite brow product of all time it's 10 bucks and it is such great dupe for the Anastasia Brow pen it's the same thing but actually I did get the Anastasia one just to compare them side by side and the next one I found was more pigmented and lasted longer so I feel like I finally got my brow also look good after so many years of having horrible eyebrow and another little tip I would say go one or two Shades Darker maybe not for everyone but for me I feel like I look better with a slightly darker brow one thing I absolutely refuse to buy are expensive sunglasses just just know it might always get broken lost stepped on I won't spend the money but if you want the nice look these look just like the Dior sunglasses that are 450 dollars these ones are 15. I'm not a good sunglasses model because I have a very small narrow face and all sunglasses look horrible on me but I'll just show you them on me and then these ones are so cute they are flattering on almost everyone probably not on me because again of my freakishly small face if you have a normal sized face I'm telling you these look so good next up some home related items because I needed a new dishware set we have had these same dishes for 10 years so I really like this dishware set from Pottery Barn but it was pretty pricey so instead I got this set and it's the full 12 piece set for under 80 and I love this stoneware look it comes with different colors washes and it has kind of that handmade ceramic look these I just think are so beautiful and classy also for home decor my belt hair throw blankets are inspired by these Pottery Barn throw blankets that I wanted they were super expensive and I was like no I want to come out with my own that have that nice Universal classy look to elevate the foot of your bed your couch we even use them on the outdoor furniture and they've held up really well but for a fraction of the cost these are currently on sale and then I have an additional 20 off code and not only do they elevate the look they're also functional because if you put these over your couch it will help protect your furniture from kids and pets and last what actually inspired this whole video are my airpod Max look for Less headphones these are Under 4 40 the real airpod Maxes are close to 500 I think 450 so I love how those look but I'm just not about to spend 500 on headphones but they're so Sleek they're so pretty I wanted them purely for looks but if you are a sound quality snob I mean the sound quality is not amazing on these they do the job I'm mostly like 95 time I'm listening to a podcast or an audiobook so it's fine for that the battery lasts forever the one thing I will say I did not like that bothered me was that there's this seam on the ear pad so I got a cover for them so I wear these I listen to my audiobooks while I do my cleaning laundry things around the house so these are like a partial recommendation I'm happy with them because I just really wanted the look of the airpod Maxes I didn't really care much about having amazing top-notch quality sound and so if you fit into that camp these are a good alternative if you
