Lip oil has quickly become the cool sister of lip gloss with its high shine and nourishing ingredients. Out of all the options on the market, beauty lovers have quickly flocked to the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil, but for those of us who don’t have a luxury budget, we have to rely on beauty deals.

Instead of waiting for the next major sale, TikTokers have come to the rescue with e.l.f.’s lip oil, which looks practically indistinguishable and is only $8 compared to Dior’s $40. According to some users, both lip oil formulas share a similar scent with e.l.f.’s smelling more “pepperminty” than Dior’s.

If you’re still looking for gifts for everyone on your list, e.l.f.’s version makes a wallet-friendly stocking stuffer as well as a thoughtful last-minute gift for the makeup guru in your life.

Rather than just take their word for it, TikTok user @itsalexissimone tested out the Mahogany Dior shade next to e.l.f.’s Jam Session to show off whether there are any major differences.

“If anything, the e.l.f. side has more color,” they said in the video. “I’m telling you, it feels the exact same on both sides.”

Dior’s lip oil is on sale at Saks Off Fifth for 15% off, but as one commenter noted, they could “buy every color of the e.l.f. lip oil for less than two of the Dior.” And with seven shades of the alternative lip oil to choose from, that’s enough to wear a different one every day of the week.

For anyone looking to save $32 and enjoy a luxury look for less, you can shop the dupe below — or scroll to the bottom to snag the Dior lip oil for 15% off.

The Voice sure does know how to go out with a bang! As the reality competition show draws to the close of its 24th season, the Emmy-winning program has announced its star-studded lineup for its finale episode, which is set to air on NBC’s Dec. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
2024 Grammy nominees Jelly Roll and Tyla are set to take The Voice stage to commemorate the season 24 finale, alongside performances from Earth, Wind & Fire, AJR, Keith Urban and season 25 coaches Dan + Shay. The intergenerational genre-spanning lineup will play a collection of songs that combine major moments in their respective careers, the dominant songs and styles of 2023 and their latest releases.

Jelly Roll, a four-time 2023 Billboard Music Awards finalist, will perform his Grammy-nominated Lainey Wilson-assisted “Save Me,” the second single from his chart-topping album Whitsitt Chapel. Amapiano/Afropop star Tyla will perform “Water,” her breakout single, which recently hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 ahead of the release of her forthcoming debut studio album.

Music legends Earth, Wind & Fire will perform a career-spanning medley that previews the band’s upcoming Heart & Soul 2024 Tour, which they are co-headlining with Chicago. Another genre-fusing band, AJR, will perform a medley of its hit single “Bang!” and “Yes I’m a Mess,” which hit No. 28 on Rock Airplay this year.

Keith Urban, a four-time Grammy winner who previously served as a judge on American Idol and a coach on the Australian version of The Voice, will perform “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” his 2016 hit single which ranked at No. 9 on Billboard’s Decade-End U.S. Hot Country Songs (2010-2019). Another superstar country act, Dan + Shay, will grace the stage with a performance of “Bigger Houses,” the title track from their most recent LP.

In addition to these eye-popping guests, The Voice has even more performances in store for the season 24 finale. Season 22 winner Bryce Leatherwood will return to perform “The Finger,” a single from his forthcoming project. Furthermore, this season’s top 12 artists will band together for a special joint performance. In that spirit, this year’s coaching panel — Niall Horan, John Legend, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani — will join forces for a bubbly rendition of “Let It Snow.”

This season marks the first in which none of the show’s original coaches — Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and CeeLo Green — from the series’ inaugural season appear on the coaching panel. Shelton departed after last season, which saw One Direction alum Niall Horan emerge victorious.

This week (Dec. 11-12) marks the semifinals for season 24 of The Voice. On Monday (Dec. 11), the remaining contestants each performed a solo song before tackling a few Taylor Swift tunes as trios. The three highlighted T-Swift tracks were “Don’t Blame Me,” “Exile” and “Mean (Taylor’s Version).”

Tune in to NBC on Dec. 19 to see who wins season 24 of The Voice!

The Masked Singer season 10 is heating up, and the judges are trying to narrow down on their guesses for the celebrities behind the mask.
The Group C finals are taking place on Wednesday night (Dec. 13), and in an exclusive clip shared to Billboard, the judges panel tries to figure out who the Anteater is. In the one-minute clip, both Robin Thicke and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg agree that the Anteater is a rock legend, but they varied on who exactly he might be.

While Thicke opted to guess Jackson Browne, McCarthy-Wahlberg suggested that maybe the singer behind the mask is Steven Van Zandt of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band.
