Drugstore beauty and skincare brand e.l.f. Cosmetics has made quite the name for itself since hitting the market under two decades ago in 2004. The company offers products starting at just $1 and have proved that you don’t have to compromise quality for price, a myth that’s longtime plagued the health and beauty industry. As they launch fun collaborations with brands like Dunkin Donuts, they’ve continued to stay true to their routes by launching high-performing individual products, many of which are under $12 and share similar ingredient lists to high-end counterparts, making them a drugstore dupe favorite.

In the latest release from e.l.f., shoppers can experience the cream-based makeup trend that’s dominating summer beauty for a fraction of the cost of competitors. The launch features cream eyeshadow pots akin to M.A.C. and eyeshadow sticks that rival Charlotte Tilbury. Here’s the scoop on the newest drop from the beauty company.
