Love Tata Harper’s Volumizing Lip and Cheek Tint? But not the $39 price tag? Try Elf Beautifully Bare Cheeky Glow at a cost of only $4!
“This weightless, cream-to-powder blush creates a fresh natural glow. The nourishing argan oil and vitamin E infused formula can also be used as a lip tint or an eyeshadow!”
Not interested in paying $45 for HUDA Beauty’s Highlighter Palette? Try Elf’s Illuminating Palettes for just $6. Save $39 by shopping drugstore dupes!
“Bring out your inner makeup artist with this 4 shade illuminating palette. Blend each shade to create a custom highlighting look for a gorgeous, glowing complexion that flatters any skin tone. ”
Elf’s High Definition Under Eye Powder ($3) is a near perfect dupe for the popular product by Laura Mercier that goes for $28 at Sephora. Laura Mercier’s Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes is great but for $24 less, you should give Elf’s Under Eye Powder a chance!
“Refine your complexion with this silky under eye setting powder. The formula blurs fine lines and imperfections. It’s infused with vitamins C and K to help strengthen the skin while setting under eye concealer.”
Elf High Definition Under Eye Powder $3
Probably my favorite drugstore dupe so far! Elf’s Beauty Shield Makeup SPray does the same thing as Urban Decay’s All Nighter Pollution Protection Makeup Setting Spray for environmental defense. It sells for $39 a bottle at Sephora which is a hefty price for a makeup setting spray but can you put a price tag on protecting your precious skin from pollution? I think not but thankfully Elf makes a more affordable version that sells for just $8.
“This Daily Defense Makeup Mist provides a nourishing layer of protection against everyday environmental aggressors. Use throughout the day to refresh the look of makeup. Perfect for using after flights or working out for an instant refreshing feel.
All e.l.f. skincare products are free from Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates.”

I personally love the honey best one but Avocado is one not to be missed! At only $6 each, why not buy 3?
2. Cotton Pads $4
You might think $4 for cotton rounds is nuts but once you try these you will never go back to the $1 ones. They are very gentle and don’t soak up all your product. Your toner actually makes it to your face and you also save on product. They fiercely remove make while still feeling delicate on your skin. You will no longer struggle with your cotton pad coming apart while removing difficult eye makeup.
Sephora Collection Soft Touch Cotton Pads $4
3. Nail Polish Remover $9.50
There’s a reason why this nail polish remover has almost 5 star reviews on Sephora.com
Sephora Collection Instant Nail Polish Remover $9.50
4. Sheet Masks $6
Sephora offers a good variety of different sheet masks all priced at $6. My personal favorites are the Lotus, Pearl, and Green Tea.
Sephora Collection Face Masks $6
5. Clay Masks $8
Available in 8 different varieties, these masks are INCREDIBLE. I have tried 4 out of the 8 different ones and am planning to review each of them by the fall. So far I have even repurchased the white clay one because I liked it so much. They are supposed to be able to be used 4 times but I have gotten 5-7 uses from each bag.
Sephora Collection Clay Masks $8
6. Cleansing and Exfoliating Wipes $7.50
These are the exact two variations that I have tried. The charcoal ones have textured bumps and feel more like a treatment pad but are very exfoliating. The rose version was refreshing and left my skin clean without leaving any residue. 9/10
Sephora Collection Cleansing and Exfoliating Wipes $7.50
7. Sephora Miniature Palette $10
There’s 3 different varieties and this is the one that I have. It’s the perfect size for traveling if you don’t want to bring your Urban Decay Naked Palette with you!
Sephora Collection Miniature Palette $10
8. Mud Mask Purifying and Mattifying Mask (1oz Jar) $10
I tried this for the first time with my Sephora Play subscribion and I really liked it. Worked as well as other masks that are 4x the price.
Sephora Collection Mud Mask 1oz $10
9. Confetti Set of Mini Sponges $8
Sephora Collection Confetti Sponges- Set of 5
10. Crystal Nail File $10
$10 might seem like a lot for a nail file but with this you NEVER need to buy another nail file again! Assuming you don’t lose it of course, which I recently did so I had to buy a new one. If you haven’t tried a crystal file before, this one won’t disappoint!
Sephora Collection Crystal Nail File $10

Review by Beauty Explore Online of the new eyeshadow palette by Christian Siriano and Elf Cosmetics.
ELF (e.l.f.) CHRISTIAN SIRIANO EYESHADOW PALETTE – Review
✨Use this promo code for $5 off your next e.l.f. purchase!! ✨
This is one item from a recent Elf.com order and it’s such a stand out piece of makeup that I have to make a little review for it. Granted, I have only used it twice but the colors are absolutely ridiculous and it’s unlike any Elf palette you’ve ever seen before. Christian Siriano delivered.
As described on elf’s website:
“Like a bouquet of flowers, this palette is a mix of bold and subtle colors with different textures. Have fun experimenting and creating your own style!
– Christian Siriano”
These are both images directly from elf’s webpage because I didn’t feel like my photos could do the palette’s striking beauty and the richness of the color. I was able to swatch it on some watercolor paper (which is my new thing) and it feels true to how the colors look.
I must say that this is hands down the highest quality palette that I’ve ever purchased from elf. With that said, I love Elf and it’s one of only 2 drugstore brands that I buy regularly (the other being nyx). If you buy one palette this year, make it this one right here. It sells for $12 and it looks like a $60 eyeshadow palette on your lids. The brush included is wonderful and unquestionably gives off a high end vibe and reminds me of a mini brush you would find in an Urban Decay palette. In fact, it’s kind of like a mini version of the brush that comes in the Naked palettes. The palette comes with 6 eye shadows (2 for highlighting/base and 4 bold jewel toned colors) and a highlighter that can be used for your eyes or anywhere on your face.
The only thing I am bummed about is that the colors don’t seem to be named. I couldn’t find color names on the box or anywhere on the actual palette. Maybe we should make up color names for the palette ourselves. I don’t know.
Ok. I am ready to hear your suggestions on how to name these colors!
There will certainly be some more reviews or unboxing posts with some of my newest elf products and I have more on the way but I felt that this palette was worth jumping the gun on because these types of items sell out quickly and it’s an amazing palette that you won’t regret buying!
Here are some YouTubers who created great looks using this palette!!

Hello Hello! Since I am thinking spring and it’s time for my nails to come out of hiding, I thought it was time to make a list of my favorite nail care products. Some are oldies but some on my list are ones that I may have not been using forever but still have earned a place here on my list for being outstanding newbies.
In no particular order, here are the products that I simply cannot live without.
The best mini polishes on planet earth. Period.
This is a little pricey at $45 but it’s well worth it when you consider it’s basically the price of 2 manicures. Your nails will thank you!
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
This stuff dries in 60 seconds flat. Because who has time more time than that? Seriously. Thank you Sally.
h2o plus Beauty Hand & Nail Cream
I have been using this for years after discovering the brand through Disney Parks and I haven’t looked back. Out of everything on this list, I don’t think there’s a brand that I would more strongly recommend. Seriously, you’ll thank me again and again if you give h2o beauty a chance.
Sephora Collection Nail Polish Remover Instant Wipes
Perfect for travel and efficient for getting tough polish off. Very well priced.
I go through this like water but it keeps my nails strong. When I don’t use it, I notice the difference and they break more often. Plus the smell is sweet.
Mermaids, Unicorns, Space, Champagne Seas, and so on. Nails Inc knows how to make a great duo.
This product is the real deal. I got it after a disaster of a manicure and this overnight nail mask somehow made me feel like I had recovered.
I just bought another one of these after losing my last one. It’s a good investment. I won’t lie it takes getting used to when it comes to a crystal file but it saves a ton of money especially after I canceled my Julep subscription. They have the best traditional nail files.
One of the best deals on nail polish and a great monthly subscription box. I miss mine all the time and might sign back up soon. They really do have quality products. I gave almost all mine to my nieces though but the great part was that I could do so with confidence because Julep is one of the nail polish companies that is free from many of the garbage chemicals that I try my best to avoid when buying polish. Hence why I mostly use Nails Inc, Ciate, Essie, and Debrah Lippmann.
