If there is anything we are fanatical about over at heat HQ it's a ruddy good beauty dupe. Whether it's a cheaper alternative for the Tatcha Dewy Cream endorsed by Molly-Mae Hague or Demi Jones' go-to bronzing wand which is giving Charlotte Tilbury, we gobble up every recommendation quicker than Eve and Charlie's relationship breakdown on Married At First Sight UK.

The latest beauty dupe to get our ears waggling is a lipstick dubbed an 'amazing' substitute for Charlotte Tilbury's Pillowtalk lipstick. The best part? It's £18 cheaper than the original. Oh, go on then.

Love Island star turned documentary maker, Zara McDermott shared the tea (and a corker of a selfie) via Instagram Stories confiding in her two million followers about the amazing make-up find. Spoiler alert: she's perfected the ombre lip.

The post read, 'Loads of people asking about the lip colour, sorry it's smudged a bit 😂 it's not the best but did a quick car job 😂. I'm loving the darker liner and lighter centre atm on the lip!'

Zara then confirmed she was wearing the L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Intense Matte Lipstick in shade 'Worth It', £9.99 paired with the brand's Riche Liner in Cristal Cappucino, £6.99 before adding, 'Btw the L'Oreal Worth It Lippies are an amazing dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk 😏'

The L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lipsticks have an impressive colour payoff and despite giving a matte finish, are infused with plenty of hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and shea butter for a lip formula that is creamy, longwearing and comfortable. Zara's go-to shade 'Worth It' is the perfect pinky nude shade perfect for everyday glam.

The lipsticks have amassed dozens of five-star reviews on the Boots website with chuffed customers hailing them as 'creamy but not drying'.

One reviewer agreed with Zara that it's a cracking dupe for Charlotte Tilbury and wrote, 'Better than CT Pillowtalk. Stays put and so beautiful. Try it.'

Another added, 'Glad that bought this lipstick, applies smoothly and stays longer than others. Lovely shade range, some are perfect for every day.'
