It's absolutely wild what kind of high-end dupes you can uncover if you know what to look for. And honestly, who doesn't love getting that luxury feel without the luxury price tag? I'm here to spill all the tea on how to maximize your Five Below beauty haul, especially when it comes to those viral items.
Let's talk about the star of the show for many of you – the Adrianna Cotton Candy Eau de Parfum. When I first smelled this, my mind immediately went to Ariana Grande's iconic Cloud or Sweet Like Candy perfumes. For just $5, it captures that sweet, airy, and slightly musky cotton candy vibe that's just so addictive. I've been spritzing it on daily, and I'm genuinely impressed with how long the scent lingers, especially for such an affordable fragrance. It's become my go-to for a quick pick-me-up or a casual day out when I don't want to use up my pricy designer scents. If you're a fan of those gourmand, sugary perfumes, you have to try this one out!
Beyond the perfumes, I've also been incredibly impressed with their makeup and body care. The THICK DRIP LIP GLOSS is a game-changer. Seriously, for only $4, these glosses give you that juicy, high-shine finish without being overly sticky. I picked up a few shades, and they feel just as luxurious as some of my $20+ glosses. They keep my lips feeling moisturized, and the color payoff is surprisingly good for a sheer gloss. It’s perfect for layering over lipstick or wearing on its own for a natural, plump look.
And for body care, the scentXscent SOLAR FLARE line is a must-try. I grabbed both the hair and body fragrance mist and the BODY BUTTER. The mist, priced at only $5, is such a refreshing burst of fragrance. It's light, uplifting, and perfect for refreshing yourself throughout the day. Paired with the SOLAR FLARE BODY BUTTER, which is also $5, you get a beautiful, lasting scent experience. The body butter itself is incredibly rich and hydrating, absorbing quickly without any greasy residue. My skin feels so soft and smooth after using it, and the scent lingers subtly, making me feel pampered all day. These feel like they could easily be from a high-end spa brand!
Oh, and don't forget the practical finds! Their SPRAY HAND SANITIZER comes in amazing scents like apple and strawberry. At $3 each, they're not just effective but also smell fantastic, making sanitizing a bit more enjoyable. I keep one in my car and one in my bag – super handy for on-the-go freshness.
My biggest tip for finding these gems at Five Below is to always take your time browsing. Look beyond the packaging and test out scents and textures if you can. Sometimes the best dupes are hiding in plain sight! I always compare ingredients lists when I can, and often you'll find very similar formulations to more expensive brands. It's all about being a savvy shopper and knowing what you're looking for. Happy hunting, and tell me: what are your favorite Five Below beauty dupes?
