Real beauty enthusiasts will read this headline and know snagging about $75 worth of highly reviewed beauty products means you’re walking away with a truly excellent haul.

The products we found at Target, not surprisingly, have way more expensive designer brand alternatives at Sephora. We did the math, and the Sephora version of our $75 Target haul costs $182.

Let’s get into the reasonably priced Target essentials we found and how it compares with similar Sephora beauty for a much better price.

  • Price: $19.00

The Morphe cheek thrills multi-finish face trio bears a striking resemble to Patrick Starrr’s cheek clapper blush trio palette. Look closer, however, and you’ll notice plenty of differences, like how the Morphe trio is made up of a satin cream, balm and velvet powder, while the cheek clapper is largely three-in-one blushes.

And, of course, you can’t help but notice the difference in price. Morphe’s $19 to Patrick Starrr’s $38 at Sephora means you could buy two of your favorite shades from Morphe for the price of one cheek clapper palette.

  • Price: $8.49 to $11.19

Depending on the scent you’re shopping for, it’s possible to save money on Being Frenshe’s hair and body mini mist. The lavender cloud scent is now $1.50 off its online price. (Cashmere vanilla and moon milk are $11.19 each.)

A similarly packaged and scented hair and body mist from Phlur is available in a mini size at Sephora too. That said, it’s $26.

  • Price: $10.59

The raspberry acai lip treatment from ESW Beauty is a near-dupe for the raspberry jelly shade of Rhode peptide lip tint.

But you’ll pay $10.59 and score a customized lip charm featured on the packaging at Target compared with spending $20 for a charmless designer lip glaze at Sephora.

  • Price: $9.59

Five-star reviews from Target shoppers compared L.A. Girl sparkly stardust highlighter to that of Fenty Beauty’s diamond bomb highlighter.

The highlighter, which can also be used on eyes, has been complimented for how well it works to give you a glittery glow. The price tag can’t be beat either. A diamond bomb compact costs anywhere from $21 (in its mini size) to $43 at Sephora.

  • Price: $9.00

The ColourPop pretty fresh concealer has been described by Target beauty shoppers as a dupe for Tarte’s shape tape concealer. At $9 a vial, it’s $6 cheaper than what you’d pay for a Tarte mini concealer at Sephora.

  • Price: $9.00

We wanted to include a beauty brush in this haul and were genuinely shocked by the price difference in 2-in-1 makeup brushes.

The bestselling e.l.f. cream and powder makeup face brush at Target is dual-ended and can be used when applying cream and powder-based formulas. An F4 foundation and face brush from Makeup by Mario is $36 at Sephora. That’s a lot more money to spend to fulfill the same beauty duties.

  • Price: $5.59

The last item in this Target haul feels like it should be at Sephora, but it’s not. ESW Beauty’s strawberry matcha latte eye patches work to depuff and hydrate puffy eyes in a scent that’s entirely of the moment.

You can buy eye patches from Sephora that cost a little less than these, but they won’t be strawberry matcha scent, either. We double checked Sephora's website -- no matcha-themed eye patches available to buy yet.
