One person tagged a friend and said: "get us one," while another wrote: "It’s not too bad but it smudges bad."

A third wrote: "Bought it the other day, the brush it not the kind I like."

Always remember to shop around when buying something like this as well as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.

You can use websites like Price Spy and Trolley to compare prices on thousands of products across different retailers.

The Google Product tab is helpful for running a quick scan across the internet too.

It comes as the discount retailer is also selling a "really strong and lovely" Febreze scent dupe - dubbed Airoma - for just 99p.

ALL STORES SHUT: Morphe shuts all UK stores

Shoppers are rushing to get their hands on the product - which has glowing reviews and is inspired by the Febreze Rio Carnival air freshener.

The Airoma is £2 cheaper than the Febreeze version which costs £2.99.

One Woman took to Facebook to share news of the dupe writing: "Picked these (on the right) up in my local home bargains only 99p and fit the Febreeze plug ins."

Others who had already tried and tested the product flocked to the comments section to share their opinion.

One person wrote: "The vanilla one is lovely, I bought 4 for through the house they are really strong too."

Another commented: "They are lovely they are really strong."

The dupe refills can be bought in store but are completely out of stock on the Home Bargains website.

It comes as savvy shoppers are raving about an affordable dupe that they are giving a perfect rating when it comes to covering imperfections.

They are in disbelief over the budget-friendly buy that they say hides their blemishes for a fraction of the cost.

Best beauty dupes

Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.

"A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.

"While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.

"In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for - and, trust me, they’re the ones you want."

REAL: , £32.50 DUPE: , £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact. 

REAL: £35 DUPE: , £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties - although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of. 

REAL: , £28 DUPE: , £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish - which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day. 

REAL: , £40 DUPE: , £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar - unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder's 60 options. 

REAL: , £20 DUPE: £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.
