e.l.f. Cosmetics is giving its popular Power Grip Primer a supersized makeover with a limited-edition MEGA format. The new bottle holds 50 times as much product as the original and adds 4% niacinamide, while keeping the price at $11.
The larger version retains the primer's familiar pink gripping formula, giving regular users a much bigger supply of their makeup base without paying more. The U.S. launch sold out through TikTok Shop, with the U.K. release scheduled for November 13 at 12pm GMT through the same platform.
Keeping the jumbo bottle at the original $11 price makes this more than a simple size upgrade. It's a limited release that gives existing Power Grip fans a chance to stock up on one of the brand's best-known products.
