You don’t have to spend a lot of cash to get high-quality beauty products these days. However, there is something special about having prestige products in your daily or weekly beauty routines.
Using high-end products can—and should—feel like a treat. All that luxe packaging and those top-performing ingredients are just as nice as rewarding yourself with a fancy iced coffee, and they’re longer lasting too.
But when it comes to luxury beauty, people typically ask the same question: Is it worth the price?
With dupe culture at its peak, it’s easy to opt for cheaper versions of luxe products. However, a dupe is usually not an exact replica of a more expensive item. While more affordable, a lookalike item can include lesser ingredients, less product payoff, and sometimes worse packaging.
How many times have you purchased a dupe only to ditch it and splurge on the real thing? If you just tried to calculate how many times you’ve done that, then you know it can be worth it to spend a little extra!
So stop buying lesser versions of great things! Our E! beauty experts have rounded up 16 of the best beauty finds that are totally worth the splurge.
