So, I’ve been on this quest to find out if Walgreens carries Elf Cosmetics. I mean, Elf is everywhere, right? Target, Walmart, Ulta Beauty, you name it. But I wasn’t too sure about Walgreens, so I decided to dive in and get to the bottom of it.
First Steps: Online Research
I started where we all start these days—the internet. I was like, “Does Walgreens even sell Elf?” I found a bunch of articles and forum posts, but honestly, it was a bit of a mixed bag. Some folks were saying “Yeah, of course!” while others were like, “Nah, not really.” I did stumble upon some info about Elf being in Dollar General, which was pretty interesting. They mentioned some executive, Mandy Fields, talking about bringing their “holy grails” to the dollar stores. Also, I read that Elf’s stuff is mostly made in China by third-party suppliers.
Hitting the Stores
Armed with this somewhat confusing info, I decided to just go check out Walgreens myself. I mean, the best way to find out is to go see, right? I hit up a couple of Walgreens stores near me. I walked through the makeup aisles, scanning the shelves, and there it was! A decent selection of Elf products. I saw some of their popular items, like their famous setting spray. That spray, by the way, has aloe and green tea in it, which sounds pretty refreshing.

Comparing Notes
After my little adventure, I went back online to see if what I found matched up with what others were saying. Turns out, a lot of people had similar experiences. Some even mentioned using the store locator on Elf’s website to find retailers. You just put in your zip code, and it shows you where to find their stuff. Super handy! But I like the thrill of the hunt.
Other Tidbits
During my research, I also found out that Elf has expanded into Sephora in Mexico, both in-store and online. That’s pretty cool for our friends down south. I also discovered that Elf has been at Walgreens for a while now, like, for years. They offer a bunch of different makeup products, from face stuff to eye stuff and everything in between.
My Findings
- Walgreens definitely carries Elf products. I saw it with my own eyes.
- The selection might vary from store to store, but you’ll likely find some of the popular items.
- Using the store locator online is a good backup if you want to be extra sure.
So, there you have it. My journey to find out if Walgreens sells Elf Cosmetics. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, with some mixed info online, but I got my answer in the end. If you’re ever wondering the same thing, just pop into your local Walgreens and see for yourself. Happy makeup hunting!
