Trader Joe’s is known for their delicious and healthy food. From their famous Chili and Lime “Taki” dupes to their dark chocolate peanut butter cups, there is something for everyone. From Buckhead to Chastain to Midtown, Atlanta can’t resist the charm of Trader Joe’s. Not only are they famous for their food dupes, but they also have a large inventory of skincare products. No brand is safe from Trader Joe’s; there are dupes for everything.
Farmacy Beauty is just one of Trader Joe’s victims. Specifically, the store duped the Honey Halo Ceramide Face Moisturizer as well as the Honey Cloud Lightweight Barrier Repair Moisturizer. These sweet-themed products come in a pack of 2 at Trader Joe’s, and I can attest from experience that they are definitely worth it. The lightweight yet hydrating facial cream is sure to help you glow like sunshine from within. I would rate this product a 10/10.
Sol de Janeiro, another popular brand, has taken over the beauty industry in the past few years. With perfume and lotions, it has attracted people of all ages. The pistachio and almond signature scent has hooked Trader Joe’s, so they came out with their own Brazil Nut line. Much more affordable than Sol de Janiero, and even higher quality, this less-toxic and fragrant line has become a signature for the holidays at Trader Joe’s. Although amazing, this line is extremely difficult to bag. It’s rare, and when released, it’s gone in a few days. I would rate this an 8/10.
Laneige is another brand that has become successful, especially during COVID-19 and the “preppy” era. Their most popular products are definitely the lip masks, which have been out since 2017. Trader Joe’s has executed this dupe perfectly again, with scents like Gummy Bear, Chocolate Berry, Cinnamon, and Vanilla. This hydrating and moisturizing lip mask is as good, if not better, than the real Laneige product. If you need to get your hands on one beauty dupe from Trader Joe’s, it has to be this one. I would rate this a 10/10.
One thing all these products have in common is the affordable price for a quality product. Trader Joe’s is known for this and is definitely a hidden gem in Atlanta. Whether you’re stocking up on snacks or searching for the next viral dupe, Trader Joe’s has proven yet again that good quality products can come with a reasonable price. Their skincare rivals the real ones with aesthetic and performance, while staying true to the qualities that Trader Joe’s adheres to most. Natural and affordable, Trader Joe’s continues to redefine what it means to shop smart, and Atlanta can’t get enough.
