I wasn’t planning to make TWO DT trips today, but here we are, and I’m glad I did!

The Freeman mask sets?! The Microdarts?! The new Skin Nutrition Botanicals serums?! AHHH! 🤩

If I didn’t already have a gazillion shave sets, I would have grabbed the pumpkin line, but I’m still working through my Desert Rose line. These adorable little clip on body sprays are supposed to smell like the SDJ scents, and while I don’t think there as close to the scent as some of the other DT dupes have been, but I love them, PERFECT to clip on my purse! I grabbed two. The apple and pumpkin hand cream I passed on, but they’re adorable. I also found this Rosy Glow Drops from Global Beauty Care, hadn’t seen those before. Ingredients posted, can’t wait to try it! 🥰🥰🥰

I was curious what the new formula would be, or if I would even like it. I see they added vitamin E and shea butter along with the hyaluronic acid. They look almost identical (left is the OG, right is the new formula) and both feel great on the lips, but I have to admit I like the new formula WAY more!

Found a new ProSilk body lotion in PEPPERMINT?! Yes please! The body mists look very interesting, I picked up the peach and coconut milk, and the whispered vanilla. I’m not big on dragon fruit so I skipped that one. The mouthwash and dispensers were so cute! I smelled the new Dermasil body cream, didn’t really like any of them. Pineapple shave cream looks like it would smell phenomenal, but I’ve got too many shaving sets at home. Comfy Cozy is the elite scent and I had to grab a 2nd bottle, along with the teeth whitening strips!

For context - I work in healthcare, these are not all personal ones. I pass these out like candy on shift (it makes me feel less “consumerism-y”, lol). I’ve built this collection over a year now. Every time a new scent drops, I try to grab 3-4 of them at a time.

I said to myself, “Self, I will have NO MORE big DT hauls. $10 or less, and only go once a week - HAAAAAA! 😭 (hey, I spent more then 10 dollars, but I also got 10 different kinds of stuff too so it balances!

Lots and lots of goodies, including the new sani scents, which I find very masculine, not in a bad way. BUT let’s get to the new stuff I haven’t seen before!

1. The overnight hydrogel masks. Let’s hope they live up to the hype! I got one of each. I loveeeee hydrogel masks, but I also have high standards on them. I’m gonna try one tonight.

2. Ioni crushed it with this Rhodes dupe line, *crushedddd it!* The peptide lip treatment is probably my favorite out of the whole drop!

3. Multi-stick lip and cheek. Mauvy/rose colors tend to lean in my favor, so we shall see how it looks!

4. ✨FINALLY✨ Dollar Tree has dropped some ANTIPERSPIRANTS in amazing scents!! I of course got Brazilian Orchid, because, duh. I’ll test this tomorrow, it’s gonna be hot.

5. Flushable wipes in travel size packages

6. Mandatory hair styling wax for my son. He has alopecia so the hair he has is sparse and spotty, but he likes to rough it up and cover as much of it as possible, and this container is huge and looks like it has good hold.

7. The Skininalism line was singing to me. I’ve been pregnant 3 times, and the stretch mark cream and body oil sounded promising. And the others in that line…well, I did say I was preggo 3 times (for 3 years in a row). Witch Hazel has been my go to, so I’m curious to try these.

8. The Cashmere body butter in whipped marshmallow has to be the best I’ve ever smelled. I layer it with the Morning Cloud body spray, and it’s heavenly. This was the last one on the shelf that was still sealed 😑 (hate when people do that). I’ve got 7 of them now, so I’m good for a little while (and yes, I will use them all. I go through about a tub a week).

9. Exfoliating mitt because my ghostly booty needs to tan, but I avoid the sun and use self tanner instead.

10. Plantar relief strips - yes please! I work in the medical field and I am on my feet all day! I can’t wait to see if these work!

Finally, it’s not H&B, but it’s FOR my health, so I’m adding it. They have parfait cups with spoon included, and a separate compartment for granola.

I HAD FUN TODAY!

The DT gods have shown me their favor! Up until yesterday, I had never found the face sprays in the wild. The hypochlorous acid one is my favorite. THEN I nearly dropped to my knees when I saw an almost full display of the Cashmere body butters. I am OBSESSED with the whipped marshmallow scent, I pair it with the Spa Luxury marshmallow body spray. I use this after every shower, and was so sad I was down to my last container. I almost broke down and bought the $10 EOS one, but there were 3 left in the display and none of them had fingers busted in them, so YOINK! The Modess facial towels are back, so I grabbed a couple more, I have a stock of these because I use them so much. Daily when I wash my face, AND they’re great for cleaning! I wanted to try the eyelid wipes to see if they help remove my waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Finally, tomorrow is a long awaited beach day, and I’m gonna do everything I can to get some color, so I got some tanning oil!

I was respectful and only grabbed 2 of the Modess face cloths, leaving the rest for others as I already have a bit of a backstock. I prefer fabric Band-Aids, and these ones glow in the dark, and looked so fun! I recently started putting some nail care in because I’ve been wearing acrylics for a while, and I am transitioning to gel while trying to strengthen and grow my natural nails. I’m scared to try the wax strips, but I’ve heard really good things! The facial mists FINALLY came to my store! I bought two of each, and I think the hypochlorous acid one and the grape one are my favorite.

The QUR personal aromatherapy devices are so nice too but BE CAREFUL! I stuck it up my hose like the Vicks one and my nose burned and eyes watered for a good 2 mins lol. It subsided, but pro tip hold it about a half an inch BELOW your nostrils, not in them LMAO!!

I found the Spa Luxury fragrances, smelled a few, settled on “Morning Cloud”. There was a fully stocked end cap with them. I got home, sprayed this on my body and hair, and IMMEDIATELY went back and got 2 back ups. (good thing I live less than 5 mins from my DT!) The smell is heavenly, and lasts longer than any other body spray I’ve picked up from Dollar Tree. If anyone has the scent profile, I’d appreciate it!

All DT makeup products on my face (minus mascara, because I need a tubing mascara). I’m 39 (almost 40) with semi-mature (for being as immature as I am, could be worse lol).

I have generally unproblematic skin

Prolux foundation (no concealer because the foundation is pretty full coverage, but I do occasionally use the ioni concealer for extra brightness).

ioni brightening drops mixed in foundation

Flower Beauty Blush Bomb

ioni brow pomade in medium brown

Kokie lip stain

L.A colors eye shadow pallet (in the shell case)

Viva Color eye liner in brown

Mascara from e.l.f

I found the new sani scents as they were setting them out on the floor, and grabbed one of each without smelling them…😬 Coconut Praline is doable, definitely not a favorite, and the guava one? 🤢 I was excited to see Pacifica stuff there though! I grabbed the clean shot serum, and the hair and body mist. I love patchouli, so this was right up my alley!

I have been scouring my local stores for these pearly white products, and finally hit the jackpot after 5 stores! I can confirm they work WELL and the purple pigment needed for the color correction is there. I will take before and after pics tomorrow, I was so excited to tear into them that I forgot to take them! I am a former smoker and current coffee drinker

A couple new to me things! I grabbed the sensitive skin Singles face and body wipes, the brown 24 hour liquid eyeliner, the brightening face serum, and I finally found the tattoo lotion!

Saw these today, and my curiosity got the best of me so I picked up 2 to try! They’re the Orchid Ingrown Hair Pads, infused with salicylic and glycolic acid. I tend to get ingrowns around my bikini area, and it’s summer so I spend a LOT of time at the beach, often with ‘razor burn’ lol so I’m hoping these help! I like most of the Orchid products they put out so fingers crossed 🤞 these work! Ingredients posted as well 🥰

I was so excited to see the Modess face towels making their rounds again, as I was down to my last two packs from my last stock up, so when I saw the familiar purple and white packaging in the bottom baskets of the health and beauty aisle, I squealed! Quickly discovered they are not quite the same. The original packs come with 30 towels. The new packs are smaller, and come in a two pack with 14 in each, making 28. I grabbed 10 packs (I left at least 20 in the baskets don’t worry). So they’ve effectively shrinkflated the Modess towels just like they did with the under eye jelly masks. I’m disappointed about that! They were fully restocked of the DE dupe line with the new under eye rollers. The Defendr+ 2 pack of the lip and eye masks looked interesting too! There were 3 different kinds. New shave cream scents, new hand sanitizer scents, the Orchid body line, and the new Amber Glow deodorant scent.

I bought the Cashmere body butter in whipped marshmallow a couple weeks ago, and was absolutely obsessed with it, especially with the scent. To me, it smells just like the EOS vanilla cashmere one (more so than the vanilla scent from this line). I absolutely love the texture and how thick and moisturizing it feels. I had only bought one of them, so I was panicking trying to find them again. I got lucky on a random DT stop with a full case of them, so I grabbed 3 more!

I found the whole super greens line! I was not the biggest fan of the serum and under eye cream the first release, so I skipped those. I don’t need another face lotion, but I did get the Cleaning wipes and the whipped facial cleanser. I also found these cool beauty tools from Plum Beauty. I posted videos of them in comments. I also found a Flower Beauty lipliner with a unique tip! I think it’s a pretty rose shade. This is the consistency of the whipped cleanser. These are my mini orchid lip balms! Also, lastly, I transfer my seller cleansing water into a spray bottle and spray it all over my face for easy makeup removal!

I have tried just about every DT face wash they’ve put out, and usually no matter which one I use, they all leave my skin feeling a little dry and tight, or they sting my eyes. The Glow Up Cloud Cleanser, though? 10/10, 100%, will repurchase again and again. It thoroughly removes even my waterproof makeup with ease, and I can literally scrub the product all over my eyes and not have any burning. This is the only one that I don’t feel like I immediately have to apply moisturizer after. It is quite literally the best face wash I’ve ever used!

I didn’t need anything from Dollar Tree today, but I am on the hunt for the DT squishy dumplings! No dumplings to be found 😭 I am still grounded (myself) from the H&B isle, but the deep collagen hydrogel masks I’ve seen others post were actually in stock, so I grabbed a few to try. I will say in comparison to the hydrogel masks I get from Ross, these are very thin. It does have a slight fragrance, but it’s not overpowering. I have it on now, and it kinda slips and slides all over the place unless I’m laying down (not complaining, it’s *self care* 😉) apparently they do turn clear after 3-4 hours like the other ones do, so we’ll see! I like that a lot of the actives are higher up on the ingredients list than I’m used to seeing in DT products, so that’s cool.

Those ear cleaners are a life saver! I have a rare type of eczema that affects my ears and inside my ear canals, and I get SO itchy! These satisfy that itch without digging my dirty fingers into my ears constantly, and they eliminate the flakiness.

I keep a pack of those wipes in my bag and take them everywhere, and this pineapple scent is amazing!

I use the belly balm on my tattoos. It works really well!

I’m a book nerd, and despite not being very crafty, I had to get this gem painting bookmark. It looks like a fun way to pass some time!
