Just a small haul from Tuesday of the usual suspects that my local DT never has. Been using these products since then so I'll include mini reviews.

I was so happy that they had the Cashmere lotion pots and I managed not to throw all the scents into my basket. I went for the infamous Marshmallow out of curiosity. It smells like creamed corn! I was hoping for popcorn, but creamed corn is nice too. Alas, it fades into a vague vanilla scent before disappearing. Whether it does its job as a moisturizer is TBD.

The Clearwater Cove body spray is so pretty, and yet, so faint. I'm disappointed. I have a few coconut-scented perfumes so hopefully this will work as a nice base for them to stick to, what with the castor oil etc.

I picked up the Twilight Glow leave-in conditioner because they didn't have the body spray in stock. I tried it in my hair today and the nice figgy scent didn't stick around, but it also didn't do anything terrible to my hair so I'm not mad about it. I plan on experimenting with this as a base layer on my skin for my fruity perfumes. Hopefully since it's a leave-in it won't give me a rash or anything.

The River & Row sandalwood body spray is also very faint and thankfully not too sandalwoody. Other than vague woods, I'm not sure what this smells like, but it is lovely. Smells great on my pillow.

I already have and love a few of the B-Pure petroleum jelly pots. I like that they're scented since that covers up the usual gasoline flavor. I hate to say it, but petroleum jelly is one of the few products that doesn't make my lips dry. Hopefully ongoing deregulation doesn't make petroleum jelly products toxic. That concern is kinda why I'm collecting these, other than my love of lip balm.

And finally. After months and months of looking, my DT had the retinol eye roller! I'm nothing short of shocked at how well DT retinol products are getting rid of my dark spots. I had a big blotch on my forehead that is almost gone thanks to the double serum and the ampules. Wish I had done a "before" pic.

I haven't tried the snail mucin serum or the AHA toner yet. I like the snail moisturizer so I have high hopes, and thank you to whoever mentioned the AHA toner for dark knees! Fingers crossed 🤞

So apparently sex criminals are targeting women who shop at dollar tree and ejaculating on them. Keep your eyes peeled because apparently, this is common?!?!? Here's the link to the Guardian article: The disturbing rise of ‘gooner’ assaults at Dollar Tree stores

Edited to add: All dumb comments and questions are addressed in the article some of you are too lazy to read.

Went to Ross hoping they had a pair of slims in my size and instead found a pair of seriously old navy blue chucks. I felt like a villain cuz old chucks last foreeeever. And they only cost $25! That's exactly what I used to pay for them back in the early 2000s. Really glad the throwbacks were sold out and that I didn't get the navy chuck 70s cuz I kinda hate the way the toecap looks.

No idea how old these are, but they even smell the way they used to. Found a pretty cool Misfits tee in my size too so I'm very happy. Anyway, shoutout to the person a few weeks back who mentioned finding old converse stock at Ross!
