SPLURGE VS. STEAL PART 2! READY FOR ANOTHER ONE?! Read part one here.
When we tell you we are always on the hunt for less expensive dupes, WE ARE. Always. We are always trying new things and bringing you the best of what we can find at the best price. Some beauty products really are worth the splurge, though. And we are honest about that!

Get ready for 6 great SPLURGE VS. STEAL below! and…TGIF!
We make a very small commission if you use our links & it is at NO cost to you 🥰 thank you for the support!!
WE LOVE BRONZER. It’s really a staple for us both. Morphe has been a great and extremely consistent less expensive brand for years now. This bronzer you can get away with the steal. The one thing we slightly like better about Too Faced is just how smooth it goes on.. it does not tug at your skin whatsoever! We did a review here.

MORPHE
Eyeliner is also something we love.. shocked? LOL.
Stila goes on beautifully, but comes at a heavier price tag. NYX is another well known, consistent (cheaper) brand that works well, too. NYX is more than half the price… say what?!??!
HOWEVER, if you can do the splurge… do it. I, Eva, like the precision & control of the Stila eyeliner just a tad bit more than NYX.

When Dawn & I were discussing this week’s SPLURGE VS. STEAL PART 2, we couldn’t NOT include these less-than-$5-eye brightener pencils from NYX!! Don’t let the eyeliner name fool you, you can use the lighter colors for brightening any part of the eye area!
We both also have the Thrive pencils. $20 more for basically the same thing? Don’t do it…stick with NYX!

You also may have seen we LOVE IT COSMETIC brushes and it’s rare anything comes close. HOWEVER, I (Eva) have been testing out Morphe brushes more and more lately. I am REALLY happy with them. I am able to really create an eyeshadow look that blends and one I can control without fall out everywhere.
If you have seen our recent Instagram feed, my eye makeup is all with Morphe eye brushes!
Dawn says: “My niece turned me onto Morphe brushes years ago. Not as good as It Brushes but for the price they are awesome!”

A true SPLURGE VS. STEAL here, and we can’t help but say.. GO WITH THE SPLURGE for an amazing hyaluronic acid product!! COSRX blows The Ordinary out of the water and we are 100% unanimous in that decision.
For both of us, COSRX just melts into our skin and our skin eats it up. Also, the bottle is HUGE. We simply cannot get enough. ***We did NOT feel that way about The Ordinary, unfortunately. However, it really is a good price, but the bottle is smaller.

THE ORDINARY
Last but not least….we couldn’t not include a home/kitchen product. You see how much we both love YETI, but Yeti is pricey.
I don’t even know how to pronounce Muchenghy but the price is fantastic & the reviews are excellent.
Splurge vs. steal – take the steal!
These are great and just in time for SUMMER!
