The $30 Walmart Beauty Haul That Looks Like Sephora
How familiar are you with Walmart’s beauty department? The big-box retailer is a haven of beauty products that look like they could pass for Sephora but are so much more affordable.
Using $30 as our maximum budget, we carefully combed through hundreds of items at Walmart and found six beauty must-have dupes that are way more budget-friendly than most singular Sephora buys. Our total came to $29.24. This put us right at the spending limit, but we wouldn’t change a thing since these finds are worth every penny.

E.l.f. Halo Glow Silky Powder Highlighter
Price: $9
At $9, e.l.f. halo glow silky powder highlighter is the most expensive item in this roundup, but it’s really only expensive if you’re considering working around a $30 spending limit.
This highlighter’s formula has been praised by shoppers for perfectly showing up while blending seamlessly into skin and being affordable enough to buy again. It would be slightly harder for most budget shoppers to justify buying Sephora’s answer to this highlighter – from the Rare Beauty brand – which retails for $28.
E.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint
Price: $5
You can find plenty of lip and cheek stains at Sephora from brands like Benefit Cosmetics and caliray, but none of them will cost less than $6.
Every shade of e.l.f. sheer for it blush tint provides dual cheek and lip color and is a must for your summer beauty routine.
Vitamasques Berry Lip Mask
Price: $5.22
There’s a good reason why Vitamasques berry lip mask is an overall Walmart beauty pick. It’s a win-win for your wallet and for keeping your lips hydrated with all-day coverage.
Once again, Sephora can’t quite match the low price either. Its cheapest lip mask offering from the Sephora Collection costs $8 per tube.
Holler Hydra Hunny Honey Scented Hair Mask
Price: $4.97
Walmart’s bestselling Holler hydra hunny hair mask is the cheap dupe answer to Gisou’s honey gloss hair mask.
Shoppers receive nearly 7 ounces of this moisturizing hair mask for less than $5. By comparison, a 7.8-ounce jar from Gisou retails for $44, while the mini jar (2.5 ounces) is $24.
Walmart Angled Makeup Brush
Price: $2.97
If you didn’t already know, Walmart has its own line of beauty brushes, and many are available for $5 or less, like the angled makeup blush.
We dug into Sephora’s bevy of angled brushes and found some brushes, like those from LYS Beauty, cost as much as $20 each.
By Nature Skincare Vitamin C Sheet Face Mask
Price: $2.08
Walmart emerges as the final boss of sheet masks in this round.
By Nature Skincare’s Vitamin C sheet face mask is unbelievably budget-friendly, especially compared to similar Vitamin C masks available from the Sephora Collection. These masks cost $6 each.
