5 Dollar Tree Beauty Products That Rival $20 Versions at Ulta
Spending too much on your skincare routine? There’s an easy, budget-friendly fix that doesn’t compromise quality. Expensive beauty products are nice, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to level up your makeup bag. Some of the best items are actually on shelves at a place you might not think to look – Dollar Tree.
While shopping at high-end stores like Ulta is exciting, it’s also pricey. You can find dupes that rival trendy products sold elsewhere for much higher prices at Dollar Tree. Here are five must-haves to grab now before they’re gone.

Skin Nutrition Botanicals Multi-Peptide Anti-Aging Serum
Price: $1.25
Skincare experts often recommend peptide serums because peptides can help skin repair itself and produce more collagen. At Ulta, there are a variety of peptide products, such as the multi-peptide + copper peptides 1% for wrinkles and skin elasticity priced at $32. But at Dollar Tree, you can find the Skin Nutrition Botanicals multi-peptide anti-aging serum for just $1.25, and fans are ecstatic.
The account Dollar Tree Dollie shared excitement over the find, writing, “OK, I’m freaking out over this unreal @dollartree copper pep serum from Skin Nutritions!!”
Copper peptide serum is especially popular right now because it contains a regenerative ingredient that can boost collagen production and reduce inflammation — making it a smart item to stock up on.
L.A. Colors Eyeshadow Stick
Price: $1.25
Eyeshadow sticks are easy – swipe on and go. You don’t need serious makeup skills or even a brush. They are a staple in makeup kits, but they can be costly. Ulta sells various items, such as the Dazzleshadow eye shadow stick by Mac priced at $28. However, you can save some serious cash by going with the L.A. Colors eyeshadow stick at Dollar Tree for $1.25. It comes in a variety of colors and holds up well throughout the day, according to Reddit users.
Sassy + Chic Blender Sponge
Price: $1.25
Makeup sponges are a must for applying foundation and blending liquid cosmetics, but they're definitely overpriced, depending on where you buy. At Ulta, the egg-shaped Original Beautyblender makeup sponge is $20. Dollar Tree's Sassy + Chic blender sponge is not only $1.25, but also comes in a package of two.
Even online retailers often charge significantly more for a single sponge.
B Color Liquid Blush
Price: $1.25
Liquid blush can be a game-changer in your makeup routine. It offers dewy, long-lasting wear that enhances a natural glow, but it's not always affordable. Rare Beauty, Selena Gomez's popular brand, is sold at Ulta, and a tube of Soft Pinch liquid blush sells for $25. While it's a high-quality, long-lasting item, you can really save with Dollar Tree's B Color liquid blush, priced at $1.25.
It may not be an exact dupe in formula, but it offers similar color options, according to Reddit users. The product is highly pigmented, meaning a little goes a long way.
One Reddit user wrote, “I put barely a dot, and then I take a dense brush and buff it out and then if it’s still a tiny bit too WOWZA I take my damp beauty blender and pounce it around the color.” The reviewer added, “It’s GORGEOUS by the time I’m finished. I LOVE these blushes!”
Spa Luxury Brazilian Sol Pistachio and Caramel Body Butter
Price: $1.25
Body butter is a go-to for many because it hydrates skin for hours and helps soften rough patches on knees and elbows. It nourishes your skin, but can drain your wallet. At Ulta, you can find Sol de Janeiro, a brand TikTokers love. The Delícia Drench deeply moisturizing body butter for dry skin is a great product for $24, but you can find a comparable knockoff at Dollar Tree.
The Spa Luxury Brazilian sol pistachio and caramel body butter is $1.25 and has a 4.9-star review by Dollar Tree shoppers.
Prestige beauty products may dominate social media, but shoppers are increasingly proving that great makeup and skincare don’t always require luxury prices.
