The $17 Revlon Primer That's A Perfect Dupe For An $85 Luxury Brand

This week, Kelly makes a shocking discovery—the $17 Revlon Illuminance Glow Primer is practically identical to a high-end $85 primer she's been loving. It creates that perfect glowy-not-shimmery base without breaking the bank.

Plus, Leigh introduces us to the cult-favorite Givenchy Prisme Libre powder that's back with a new formulation. At $108 it's definitely a splurge, but the mini version is just $58 and will last you ages.

And we're spotlighting two incredible Australian small businesses: The Jojoba Company's new neck and décolletage concentrate that answers those frequent "What about my neck?" DMs, and Bangn Body's ergonomically designed body oil with its signature tropical scent.

Don't miss our savey finds: the Milani baked powder blush that gives you that luxurious luminosity for just $21.99, and Kelly rediscovers the Chi Chi Super CC Cream after reading Erin's article—a beauty editor secret that costs half the price of similar products.
