You know how when you go to Target with plans to pick up a prescription or one or two things, and somehow you end up with a full shopping cart? It happens to me pretty much every time I make the trek to my local Target. On my most recent trip I once again fell victim to the lure of Target’s health and beauty department, this time enthralled with the incredibly budget-friendly prices of e.l.f. Cosmetics. With prices around $1-3 per item you could probably buy the whole collection for under $100.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts was a much-needed set of makeup brushes from Sephora (thanks, Margie!). I’m reluctant to admit my beauty no-no to you, but for the sake of this post I confess that I have yet to clean those brushes despite using them every day since Christmas. Don’t judge me.

So it was destiny when I came across e.l.f. Cosmetics Brush Shampoo, a true beauty bargain at just $3 for a 4 oz. bottle. Yes, you read that right. As a Sephora devotee, I’m used to seeing makeup brush shampoos from the namesake line for $14 (6.75 oz. bottle) and from Bare Escentuals for $14 (4 oz. bottle). I didn’t hesitate to give e.l.f. Brush Shampoo a try at a fraction of the cost of the bigger beauty brands.

If you are looking to give your makeup brushes a little TLC, I highly recommend this beauty bargain. e.l.f. Brush Shampoo works perfectly to clean your brushes of makeup and other impurities, rinses easily and leaves you with makeup brushes that seem brand new. Definite A+ in my book and a new addition to my temple of groom.

What’s your favorite drugstore beauty bargain?
