50 Products That Are Close To The More Expensive Versions
Buttery soft high-waisted leggings, which are deceivingly identical to Lululemon's Align leggings — and reviewers are calling it out! The only difference? These give you all the buttery soft material and comfiness for a mere fraction of the name brand price. 👀
A set of sophisticated cylindrical wineglasses that this reviewer says are just as nice (if not, nicer 👀) than the ones they saw from Crate and Barrel *and* West Elm. These'll elevate your Friday night gossip sessions instantaneously and have you feeling like you should be walking around in a designer pashmina like you're filming a "73 Questions" video with Vogue.
A Renpho percussion massager if that $300 TheraGun is just not doable rn. It has five different head attachments for targeting different areas and reviewers love it for soothing sore muscles, easing neck and shoulder pain, and working through tough knots. And who doesn't love a massage?!
E.l.f. Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen that'll finally break your commitment issues with sunscreen. This clear gel formula delivers SPF 35 and goes on so smooth and lightweight, you'll forget you're even wearing it. It gives no white cast *and* it doubles as a blurring primer, so it's great for wearing under makeup too. If you love Supergoop! quality (but don't love the price), give this one a go.
Slingback heels because they blend comfort and elegance in the most gorgeous way. Their timeless style might just make these one of your most-used pairs — they'll take you from your daily office routine to casual lunch dates to evening drinks. Many reviewers agree that these also give *major* Chanel vibes.
Or some breathable pointed-toe flats ready to keep your feet cushioned and decked out in style. They look and feel as high-quality as Rothy's or Vivaia, without having to spend the extra $70–$100. The stretchy knit upper is comfy and trendy-looking (office days just got a whole lot better!) and you can toss 'em in the wash before they even have the *chance* to get stinky.
A 20-pack (!) of extra-thick magic cleaning pads with a cleaning power that has earned it its magical title. Got mold in your shower? Grease on your stovetop? A stain on your floor? Dirt on your baseboard? Just wet the sponge slightly, give it a squeeze, and watch it effortlessly clean as you glide it across the surface. Most reviewers agree is a great swap for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!
Rael Beauty's Miracle Patch that really holds its own against the pricier Mighty Patch. This budget-friendly hydrocolloid acne patch is made specifically to draw out the pus from your pimples. What makes *this* one so unique is that its edges are so thin that they blend in with your skin seamlessly. This makes them perfect for having some acne-fighting magic on your face while still being able to go about your day without anyone noticing.
A set of internet-famous Mellanni sheets reviewers are favoring over their Cozy Earth and Egyptian cotton sheets that cost $$$. They've earned over 237,000 5-star ratings thanks to its super-soft and moisture-wicking microfiber fabric — at an unbeatable price! Get ready to be cozy and sleep surprisingly cool all summer long. You just might ditch your expensive sheets for these babies after the first night.
A flirty corset lace-up sundress with a cute slit and a bustier design that's sure to fit you like a glove. It gives major Bridgerton vibes, but the price tag makes it easier than ever to show up looking like the diamond of the season. And it looks extremely similar to the House of CB version (which costs over $200 👀).
A ribbed workout jumpsuit that reviewers claim looks and feels like Skims-level quality, but asks for way less money out of your wallet than Ms. Kim K. It's compressive but breathable, with four-way stretch so you can pull off all your squats with ease (plus it's thick enough that it won't show your undies).
And a long-sleeve bodysuit because it's basically saying "Look at me! Look at me!" before you pull the trigger on that Skims bodysuit. The "Smoke Cloud" fabric is buttery smooth and *not* sheer, and the sweetheart neckline will add a little extra charm to your ensemble even if it's being paired with your fave faded jeans.
A set of aesthetic wrist and ankle weights that'll add a little extra weight to your everyday workouts (and keep a little extra weight in your wallet because you're not shelling out $50+ on a set of trendy Bala Bangles). These are just as cute and effective, and will add an extra challenge to those hot girl walks.
A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, some reviewers say, is even BETTER than Olaplex, which is over three times the price! It's infused with collagen, ceramides, and protein extracts to help repair your hair if it is damaged, over-processed, or has just spent too much time with that flat iron. Simply apply it on wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
A professional MUA-approved black makeup sponge — Beautyblender and Real Techniques sponge might have just met their match. 👀 It gives you pro-level blending and works for foundation, BB cream, powder, *and* concealer. (Wet or dry!) *Plus* the black color of this one makes it easier to see product on your sponge for applying it — and it won't be all stained after cleaning!
An elevated laptop tote bag so clean-cut and beautiful it might just empower you to strut through that office like the baddie you are (even though you're dreading sorting through those Monday morning emails). This stylish piece offers spacious compartments for all your essentials (laptop, makeup bag, books, and more) and keeps them organized and within reach. Reviewers even compare this to (and favor it over) the Béis Work Tote that sells for $148!
And some makeup brush-cleaning shampoo that's telling your Sephora and Beautyblender shampoos to step aside. Besides, your sponges and brushes are overdue for a good cleaning. Made with gentle, plant-based ingredients, this cleanser will remove all the built-up makeup, oil, and impurities from your tools — and watching all the gunk be washed down the sink will be oh-so-satisfying.
An Overmont cast-iron Dutch oven because, *yes,* you can achieve your culinary ventures without splurging $300 on Le Creuset. This durable pot will meet all your stewing, boiling, roasting, and frying needs. It's oven-safe up to 500 degrees F, and the lid is designed for water vapor to condense and drip back onto your food evenly, which ensures your pot roast will come out juicy and delicious instead of dry.
E.l.f's Camo Liquid Blush, which is apparently going head-to-head with Rare Beauty. 👀 This long-lasting, buildable, easy-to-blend potion will kiss your cheeks with a lovely flush of color and a soft, dewy finish that'll have you coming back for more. And let's be honest, we can't ignore that nice price point.
A bottle of Nyx setting spray reviewers have put it to the test and say it's a cheaper swap for MAC and Urban Decay's setting sprays. This'll make your glam last for up to 16 hours, which *really* comes in handy when it comes to humidity, sweat, rain, and snow. But don't take our word for it. One reviewer describes getting broken up with by their S.O. right before a party (what a jerk, right?) and looking in the mirror to find their makeup "perfectly flawless," without a single tear track in sight.
And a 12-pack of soft microfiber makeup removing towels that are perfect for travel and everyday use, and about 20 times cheaper than the Makeup Eraser — they may, quite frankly, work... better *gasp*. Just add water, and the results might have you relating to this reviewer, who declares this is their favorite makeup remover by far after trying *several* others.
An ultra-hydrating, plant-based TruSkin vitamin C serum, which uses vitamins C and E and botanical hyaluronic acid to help rejuvenate dull skin by brightening and evening its tone. Use it daily to achieve the radiance that gorgeous face of yours deserves. Many reviewers say it's a worthy swap for SkinCeuticals' pricey CE Ferulic serum.
A Briotech spray with magical powers that rival the pricier Tower 28 spray (*gasp*). Packed with the same key ingredient, hypochlorous acid, this skincare gem will quickly become one of your staples as it effectively works to soothe inflammation, calm angry red patches, and fortify your skin's barrier.
A pair of oversize square sunnies to throw on for an instant style boost, no matter what you're wearing. The polarized lenses offer UV 400 protection, so not only will you look amazing, but your eyes will also be shielded from those harsh rays. Plus, reviewers say they look just like the ones from Bottega Veneta!
A pack of duster sponges that can get you Scrub Daddy Damp Duster-level results, and at a fourth of the cost per sponge! Just dampen, wipe whatever surface needs dusting, and all the dust (and even pet hair!) will attract to the ridged surface like a magnet. Then, just rinse it clean, and you're done!
Essence's Lash Princess Mascara — one of the few beauty products that has *stayed* viral for a reason. People rave about this bestselling tube as a swap for pricier mascaras like Too Faced Better Than Sex, L'Oreal Telescopic Lift, and many, many more. It gives you all the length and volume WITHOUT the clumps and globs and has shocked reviewers with how full it leaves their lashes looking compared to other, more expensive brands.
*Or* the lash-extending E.l.f. Cosmetics tubing mascara that reviewers are saying is a great alternative to the pricier one from Thrive Causemetics. This quite literally wraps your lashes with lengthening tubes for a fuller appearance. A unique benefit of this? It makes it SO easy to remove at the end of the day — no mindless scrubbing needed! It's even enriched with a dash of jojoba seed oil to condition your lashes while providing that striking length.
A set of satin pillowcases because it'll give your bed a hint of ~luxury~ for a fraction of the price that you'd spend on brands like Slip and Blissy. Not only does it look pretty, but reviewers say its soft fabric helps with acne-prone skin and creates less friction on their hair to avoid breakage. We love a multi-functional product.
A cruelty-free Acure brightening facial scrub — reviewers sing its praises about this as a budget-friendly swap for brands like Clinique, The Body Shop, and Rodan + Fields. It leaves your skin positively glowy, thanks to the Madonna lily in the ingredients, but this popular vegan formula also packs in lemon peel, French green clay, and sea kelp to cleanse and de-gunk your pores.
A new-and-improved Govee neon rope light that is *very* similar to the Hue LightStrip, though its more affordable price tips many reviewers' preference in its favor!

Plus, by using the app, you can program it to all sorts of color combos and lighting effects.
E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer because it'll have you doing a double-take when you realize it's not Tatcha's Silk Canvas primer (but it sure does act like it).

A beautiful tennis bracelet, because a small, twinkly accessory can add an upscale factor to any outfit. And just look at that Swarovski-like sparkle it gives off (no one would ever know that it's actually cubic zirconia).
A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks that will help soothe, heal, and hydrate dry and cracked lips overnight! Just smear some on your lips before bed and dream of the smooth, soft lips you'll have come morning. Plus, these three lip masks are about $14 cheaper than one Laneige lip sayin'.
A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer because dropping $500+ on a Dyson Airwrap — in this economy?! — doesn't sound very appealing. This reviewer-beloved hot air brush will save you more than double the time it takes you to style your hair with a traditional blow-dryer and round brush. You'll have soft, smooth waves with just a few passes!
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer that has worked wonders for reviewers who've decided to ditch brands like Tarte, Nars, and Bobbi Brown in search of a more affordable option that works just as well. It comes with a cushion applicator that makes it easy for you to conceal any blemishes or dark circles before you head out for another day of making the world believe you totally did not stay up marathoning your latest Netflix obsession.
Skin1004's Zombie Pack, which gives eerily similar results to the viral Hanacure mask. Seriously — these should basically be considered skin sorcery with the way it's surprised reviewers with its immediate results.

The strap is long enough to wear crossbody or around your waist, which keeps your arms and hands completely free. Plus, it'll surprise you with just how roomy it is.

I mean, who wouldn't want to come home after a long day to this glorious beauty? Your lazy Sundays just got a whole new meaning.
Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip, which might just kick that $40 Dior lip oil out of your cart for good. It's enriched with vegan squalane, raspberry, and cloudberry oils to deliver a surge of deep moisture for the soft, supple lips of your dreams — and all while delivering some serious shimmer! And? IT'S UNDER $10. Sold.
A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers because they have a tapered design and a stretchy waistband that'll probably make them one of the most reached-for pieces in your closet. And let's not forget the side pockets! Plus, reviewers have not failed to notice how remarkably similar to Lulu's Align joggers. 👀
And a soft, stretchy longline sports bra drawing comparisons to a tank from the same collection, so you could achieve the whole Lulu Align ~look~ for a whole lot less. It's designed with a classic V-neckline, sweat-wicking fabric, and goes with, well, anything! You can also pair it with your fave biker shorts or leggings so you can go straight from your errand-packed morning to your afternoon yoga class.
CeraVe's Retinol Serum with an affordable price and expectation-exceeding results that give Murad's $92 serum the heavy side eye. 👀 If you're just starting to explore the world of retinoids, this is a great option to start with!

It'll have you looking glowy, sun-kissed, and ready for that lunchtime walk you planned your whole day around. The glycerin and shea butter in it also give it a mega hydrating factor. It's a lotion, glowy foundation base, and highlighter all in one bottle.
BestLand's high-performance matte lipsticks that reviewers are comparing to sooo many pricier brands like Tarte, Stila, and Kylie. One slight difference though: These deliver luxurious ~expensive~ at less than $2 each! They stay on all day and actually moisturize your lips instead of drying or cracking. Talk about getting more bang for your buck!
Or the long-lasting Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint — reviewers love this for the softness of the matte color, how buildable and long-lasting it is, and how it doesn't crack or leave skin feeling dry. It's just what you need if you like a little color on your lips but can't be bothered with lipsticks that constantly need touch-ups. It's also been deemed a great alternative for Nars, Charlotte Tilbury, and YSL!
Some cleaning tablets that help dissipate your night guard' smell/taste. Just pop one of these in a glass of water to give your retainers, Invisalign, etc., a refreshing soak (your mouth will thank you!). You can also use them to deep clean your water bottles and coffee tumblers instead of the popular, pricey Bottle Bright tablets. These'll run you just 15 cents a tablet!
