10 Expensive Beauty Products You Can Buy For Less On Amazon

We compiled a list of popular, high end products available at Sephora that are also available on Amazon — sometimes for a better price.
10 Expensive Beauty Products You Can Buy For Less On Amazon
Ada Summer
By Olivia Harvey · Updated October 26, 2020

This article was originally published on Hello Giggles.

Taking a trip to Sephora can be a holy experience. We’re firm believers that you can have a spiritual awakening upon spritzing a new setting spray on your face. But sometimes when you run out of a go-to beauty product, the last thing you want to do is get into your car and battle the other beauty worshippers at the makeup mecca that is Sephora. In walks Amazon to save the day.

Why not get comfy on your couch and order your fave products from the comfort of your own home?

We compiled a list of popular, high end products available at Sephora that are also available on Amazon — sometimes for a better price.

Slip into your stretchy pants of choice and get out the credit card. We’re going Amazon shopping!

1. MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation, $54

This foundation is talked about by YouTube beauty gurus and makeup lovers everywhere. It won an Allure 2017 Reader’s Choice Award. In-store this 1.01 oz bottle costs $43. But a little extra, you can get it shipped to your house (for free) via Amazon.

2. Tarteist Pro to Go Palette, $23.00

The compact version of Tarte’s Amazonian Clay Palette, this Tarteist Pro To Go Palette is a great and less-expensive alternative to the big guns. Available at Sephora for $23, you can pick up the same mini palette on Amazon for the same amount without leaving your couch.

3. GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment (1.7 oz), $53

Supposedly one of the best charcoal mud masks on the market, the GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment mask will make your face feel like a baby’s bottom. Available at Sephora for $69, you can snag this miracle mask on sale via Amazon for dollars less and with free shipping for Prime members.

4. Flowerbomb By Viktor & Rolf For Women (1 oz), $53

With keynotes of jasmine, orange blossom and patchouli, Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf is a perfect scent to wear throughout summer into fall. A 1 oz bottle of this heavenly scent goes for $85 at Sephora, whereas you can grab the same amount on Amazon for a lot less.

5. The POREfessional Face Primer Full (0.75 oz), $42

Say goodbye to your pesky pores with Benefit Cosmetics’ The POREfessional. Packed with Vitamin E to protect your skin from the elements, this stuff is good looking and good for you. Right now Sephora sells The POREfessional for $31. But to save on drive time you can order on Amazon.

6. Living Proof Amp Texture Volumizer (2 oz), $18

Living Proof’s Amp² Instant Texture Volumizer has just under 6,500 “loves” on Sephora’s website so we’re fairly certain it works like a charm. Get the volume and texture you want in your dry hair with this super clean, sulfate-free hair cream. Sephora sells it for $25, but you can get the same 2 oz jar for under $16 on Amazon.

7. Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel, (4.5 oz)

The summer might be coming to a close but that doesn’t mean your tan has to fade. Clarins’ Self Tanning Instant Gel moisturizes your skin with Aloe Vera Extract while giving you natural-looking and long-lasting tan. This bottle is available at Sephora for $38, but you can buy the same thing on Amazon and save almost $15.

8. stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, $22

Makeup wearers of all sorts rave about Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof eye liner. It comes in 15 different colors and is guaranteed to stay on all day and all night. Both Sephora and Amazon sell this little miracle worker for $22, but if you don’t have to change out of your pajamas to buy it, why would you?

9. Bobbi Brown Lip Color Lipstick, Salmon, $29.99

amazon-bobbi-brown-lipstick.png

Bobbi Brown’s classic semi-matte lipstick comes in an array of flattering shades for every skin color. Her formula is made with Vitamins C and E that nourish while you wear. Sephora offers 15 shades at $29 each, whereas Amazon offers 27 shades and for $.99 cents more, Prime members can get free shipping.

10. beautyblender original, $20

If you’ve been meaning to get your hands on the original “beautyblender,” Amazon can help you out. With free shipping for Prime members, you can snag an OG beautyblender for the same price as it’s Sephora sale price. Or check out the highly rated Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge on Amazon. You can grab a set of 2 for $5.69.

You’re welcome, beauty heads. Happy shopping!
