What the Dupe: How Does This $7 Product Measure Up to Drunk Elephant’s Luxurious Facial Oil?

“Anytime we can find a Trader Joe’s alternative for a luxury product, I’m so here for it because the prices at Trader Joe’s are just, so beautiful and helpful for my wallet,” Matthew says with a smile. “And if I can find a product that works just as well as a luxury product at Trader Joe’s, why wouldn’t I buy it?

First, Matthew applies the Drunk Elephant facial oil on the right side of his face. “I look like a frying pan full of oil,” he jokingly admits in the vid. But soon, the product starts to sink into the skin and he ends up having a glowy look. “It doesn’t feel greasy,” he adds.

When he starts to apply the Trader Joe’s facial oil on the other side, Matthew quickly notices the product has a very interesting smell to it. “It smells like blueberries,” he laughs. “I love that.”
