I slowed down a bit for September with 50 empties total.

Disclaimer: Not everything was purchased from the tree of dollar. My goal is to empty/pan non DT HBC products to make room for all DT HBC items where I can. It’s a personal buy this not that challenge that has been fun 🤩 for me. This is also a part of my journey to pin down what does work for me, what doesn’t, products that I don’t have to buy multiples of because they will generally be in stock at DT when I need them again (this really is the key to cracking the code) because honestly I need to eliminate my back stock.

❤️‍🔥 Fire - A definite repurchase!
🫶🏻 Great -Will most likely repurchase after I get through my back stock.
👌Okay - Does the job but I will not repurchase.
💩 - Horrible & will not repurchase.

❤️‍🔥Amber Glow Crème Caramel Hand & Body Lotion - I need this in my like forever. I’m sad I can’t find it anymore and this was my last tube at home. I took one to work for communal use that I’m honestly going to bring back home. The formula is perfect, not too thick & not too thin. It’s moisturizing & dries down nicely. The scent makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Smells exactly like caramel corn and I’m here for it 👏

❤️‍🔥 Beauty Blender 3 pack by An American Company - These blenders are a steal at 3 for $1.25. They are in the medium range of density & absorption which means I have to use 4 pumps of foundation to apply a full coverage face but the trade of is it doesn’t absorb a lot of product, the product lays down smoothly & evenly, and the sponge lasts 60 days with daily washing.

👌Spa Scentials Hypochlorous Acid - I’m honestly on the fence with this one. It performs okay for the face but I used this one up as a pillow spray as recommended by a Reddit fam bam member and I’m obsessed with this application. Every night before bed and after my nighttime skin care routine I spray my pillow with it as a sanitation method so that my cheek lays down on a freshened pillow case.

🫶🏻 Magnesium Spray - I have rheumatoid arthritis & acute Scoliosis so I like this for pain relief on my lower back & my knees. It’s not a miracle worker by any means and it seems to be hit & miss on when it provides relief. Some times it does & sometimes it doesn’t. But as an additional tool in my RA & scoliosis care routine I like the way it fits.

👌LA Splash Balancing Toner Serum Spray - I liked the fine mist of the sprayer but what no one mentioned in their reviews is the way the nozzle keeps turning around like a damn circus 🤡 carousel 🎠 on every spray! Annoying as hell tbh, especially for someone who has RA! The formula is okay though. It did sting my skin slightly.

👌 River & Rowe Honey Cleansing Balm - The big selling point for me on this one is the included spatula which is being reused 😉. It’s a nice spatula for being plastic. The formula is okay, and it works as intended. I didn’t like the fragrance. Consistency wise it’s thick which some may prefer over the thinner consistency of the new Dermasil & La Mercerie cleansing balms.

💩 Spa Luxury Brazilian Sol body mist - fragrance is non existent within minutes of spraying it. Complete trash. I layered other scents over it just to use it up.

❤️‍🔥 Power Stick Brazilian Mist hand soap - A STAPLE my favorite hand soap ever. It smells divine & the smell lasts. It lathers up nicely without effort & a little goes a long way.

❤️‍🔥Biopure Eyelid Cleansing Wipes - A STAPLE! I’m prone to styes so this is a game changer. I use them after toner spray and they are great for removing eye makeup you thought was removed after a double cleanse! They are so gentle that I can use them in my inner eyelids without any irritation to my eyes whatsoever.

👌EVO Whitening Strips - It works great on the upper front teeth. Unfortunately I couldn’t ever get them to adhere to my bottom teeth. They have a tendency to slide and the adhesive isn’t great.

❤️‍🔥EVO teeth whitening pen - A STAPLE! I like the 30 second wear and I do see a difference over continuous use! Not a dramatic difference but a natural and subtle one. It doesn’t irritate my teeth in the slightest either.

❤️‍🔥Bpure Setting Spray - A STAPLE. When I see it I grab it! I got 8 on hand but I will never clear a shelf. I love ❤️ it so freaking much that it’s actually the one of maybe 3 things I would consider buying in a case from the DT website. It holds my face for at least 8 hours.

❤️‍🔥Natural Sense Rosemary Biotin Water hair mist - A STAPLE! I pick some up when I see it! I spray this on my hair every night before bed and it helps with fallout, makes my hair feel thicker, makes my shampoos last longer, makes my scalp feel refreshed.

❤️‍🔥Spa Scentials Sun Kissed Caramel perfume body oil - A STAPLE! I use this everyday on my arms, chest & legs and layer a lotion & body spray over it. It isn’t a true oil and it creates a white cast but it does dry down nicely.

❤️‍🔥EVO Sensitive Whitening mouthwash - another STAPLE! This is my favorite mouthwash! If you see it grab it because it’s difficult to find at DT. It’s not always in stock.

🫶🏻 Spa Luxury Dulce de Leche Whipped Shaving Cream - My only complaint is the scent is way too subtle. The formula & delivery are chef’s kiss 💋. Not too thick & not too thin. Lathers like a dream & leaves skin feeling silky soft.

🫶🏻 Spa Luxury Brazilian Sol Antiperspirant Deodorant - This is a great antiperspirant! It works really well & keeps me dry all day. Deodorant wise, the scent doesn’t last and it isn’t heavy but I love the scent! Application is difficult because it’s hard & doesn’t have much viscosity to it but I find that it does warm up.

👌Revive Rx toner pads - They work as designed and there is nothing negative to say about them whatsoever. As a personal & unpopular preference I enjoy the Happy Skin Healthy Skin ones for the scents. Honestly though the formula seems to be the same for both lines.

🫶🏻LA Splash Makeup Melting Lava Oil Cleanser - A good cleanser that I like to use as a first cleanse in the shower. It works great and I’ll continue to repurchase once I work through the cleansing oils I have on hand.

👌Happy Skin Healthy Skin Stay Fudgy Gentle Facial Cleanser - The pros: gentle on the skin, packaging make it easy to dispense & use all the product without waste. I like the fragrance too. The con is it doesn’t lather easily or consistently. It also seems to be a lightweight cleanser that wouldn’t be able to stand on its own outside of a bar room or a double/triple cleanse 🤣.

❤️‍🔥V34 Pearly White teeth strips - Now that I’ve tried the EVO whitening strips I have an appreciation for these. The pros are there are 5 sets in a box, only 15 minutes of wear time, and the adhesive is really good! I don’t see a dramatic difference in the shade but I do see a subtle difference that is temporary.

🫶🏻Amber Glow Multi Peptide hair Serum - I use this every night in conjunction with the rosemary biotin spray and I like the viscosity of it! It distributes nicely, doesn’t weigh my hair down & isn’t oily and doesn’t make my hair feel greasy at all.

👌GBC Overnight Cream - I can appreciate that it’s a thick cream with nice viscosity that dries down nicely. My skin unfortunately barely tolerated it. I couldn’t use it every night like I wanted to because I’m beginning to think 🤔 I’m retinol sensitive. If I’m going to keep a retinol moisturizer in my routine I prefer the b pure retinol cream in the purple glass jar but even that one I can’t use every night.

👌Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair eye serum - This was a free gift with purchase full sized jar. I really like it & I can’t believe that little bottle lasted me years! A tiny amount goes a long way and it’s a thicker serum that has great velocity. As much as I like it, I don’t think I’d ever purchase it. I think the serums from DT are just as effective. In terms of thickness, I find the bpure retinol eye cream in the purple jar to be comparable.

❤️‍🔥 Solo En Ibiza Ronda Carmelo keychain body spray - I have 3 more on hand! THIS is my signature scent now! I’m crazy 😝 about it actually! The scent lasts for HOURS & I keep the bottle in my car to spray on during my commute and now my car interior smells like it ❤️‍🔥! At this point I need to just stop buying these minis and order it by the gallon 😉.

❤️‍🔥Kokie Flawless Seal Setting Powder - Another STAPLE! Best loose setting powder I’ve ever used. It is so finely milled and contains talc which helps with even application & flawless wear. It isn’t cakey, blends effortlessly, and glides on smoothly.

❤️‍🔥Le Mercerie Contour Stick - This is the lightest shade which is actually too light for me & I have fair skin. I recently tried the medium brown shade and it’s perfect 😍. These sticks glide and viscosity of these sticks are phenomenal & they allow for precise application. They are buildable and blend out like a dream!

👌Benefit blushes in Pomade Pom, Georgia Peach, & Shellie - Benefit was my go-to brand for blushes before I discovered DT HBC last year. I have had these 3 shades for YEARS and finally hit pan to the point that I can personally consider them as empties. Honestly though, Ioni & LA Colors have blushes that give benefit a run for their money. The Ioni bouncy blushes, Cream & Sugar cushion blushes, LA Colors Pumpkin & Spice (?) fall blushes, Boba Tea blushes, & Marie Claire Rhodes dupes have all been extremely impressive. I have no regrets whatsoever about replacing my benefit blushes with the blushes sold at DT.

🫶🏻Smashbox Eyeshadow Primer - A little goes a long way and this also took me years to empty. Not a fan of the delivery method and having to use my finger to apply it. It is also takes a bit of work to get the product out of the tube due to consistency. It works beautifully though so no complaints there. I would rather not purchase it again if Dollar Tree would only carry an eyeshadow primer consistently 😢. Dollar Tree, if you’re reading this, we need an eyeshadow primer, foundation with SPF, & BB cream with SPF.

👌B Pure Gel Grip Face Primer - This is just okay. I tried to empty this but just couldn’t do it. Life is too short for force pans. I’m not a fan of the tacky texture and I personally enjoy the B Pure Mattifying face primer & Marie Claire serum primer 1000 times better in terms of texture, consistency and long wear of a full face.

💩 B Pure Serum Mascara - As a freshly new purchase this is a good mascara. Unfortunately the shelf life affects the formula. The more I would go to use it on occasion the thicker & messier it became. It also has the smell of paint thinner.

💩LA Colors Wowie mascara - I hate the stopper that prevents enough product from getting on the brush, which makes the formula seem dry. I am not a fan of the brush. It seems messy to use. Fortunately for me this was on the smaller size which made it easier to empty.

👌Amber Glow Sugar Cookie Hand Wipes - The work as intended & are sufficiently moist and sufficiently thick enough. BUT they are completely unscented! Amber Glow catfished us with these.

❤️‍🔥QUR Hair & Nail Boost Gummies - Not sure if there is enough biotin in these at 2500 mcg per serving but it certainly can’t hurt and they taste so good, texture is not too thick & chewy. They aren’t too hard & best part is they are sugar free!

❤️‍🔥Vitavits Gummies - although I prefer the new QUR gummies because they are sugar free and taste better, I like the taste & convenience and feel they have improved my overall wellbeing.

Another record breaking empties month with 71 empties 🤯!!!

Disclaimer: Not everything was purchased from the tree of dollar. My goal is to empty/pan non DT HBC products to make room for all DT HBC items where I can. It’s a personal buy this not that challenge that has been fun 🤩 for me.

❤️‍🔥 Fire - A definite repurchase!
🫶🏻 Great -Will most likely repurchase after I get through my back stock.
👌Okay - Does the job but I will not repurchase.
💩 - Horrible & will not repurchase.

❤️‍🔥Vitavits Gummies - I like the taste & convenience and feel they have improved my overall health & wellbeing. Minor annoyance that some packages only have 13 gummies 😏.

🫶🏻Up&Up Calming Makeup Remover wipes - I had to empty these as I purchased them before I started getting my wipes from DT. They are really good but I fell in love with the DT Biophil ones in the blue & white packaging that work just as well.

❤️‍🔥Millie Moon wipes - they are moist but not too moist, wonderful for sensitive skin & they are textured.

💩QUR shower steamers - Barely there scent & either they devolve in 45 seconds or not at all.

❤️‍🔥Amber Glow Creamy Coconut hand wipes - These smell so dreamy and the scent lingers on the skin. I keep them on my makeup trolley to use as I’m doing my makeup.

🫶🏻Brazilian Sol foot mask - My favorite foot mask. The smell is amazing! They make my feet super soft although they don’t exfoliate.

👌Black Snail 🐌 sheet face mask - There is so much serum in the package you could depot it and get multiple uses out of it. It was gentle on my sensitive skin but I didn’t feel particularly moisturized throughout the day.

👌B Pure Shea Butter hair mask - I mix it with my conditioner and leave on for 10 minutes. I got 3 uses out of it and it left my locks super soft. It is heavy on the fragrance though & I’m not crazy about that. It’s also on the thin side. I like my masks a little bit thicker in consistency.

❤️‍🔥Biopure Eyelid Cleansing Wipes - A STAPLE! I use one every night! I’m prone to styes so this is a game changer. I use them after toner spray and they are great for removing eye makeup you thought was removed after a double cleanse! They are so gentle that I can use them in my inner eyelids without any irritation to my eyes whatsoever.

🫶🏻EVO Advanced Whitening toothpaste - another STAPLE! This is actually my favorite toothpaste. Yes, it has a tendency to be separated upon purchase so I shake it vigorously before opening and it can be difficult to squeeze, which for me is a good thing since a little bit goes a long way.

❤️‍🔥EVO Sensitive Whitening mouthwash - another STAPLE! This is my favorite mouthwash! If you see it grab it because it’s difficult to find at DT. It’s not always in stock.

🫶🏻👌V34 Pearly White teeth strips - I’m on the fence with these. The pros are there are 5 sets in a box, only 15 minutes of wear time, and the adhesive is really good! The con is I don’t see that much of a difference 🤷🏻‍♀️. I would like to try the EVO strips to compare before buying more.

👌Modern Whites Mouthwash - It did the job but the bottle is small & the pump design lends itself for travel as best use.

❤️‍🔥EVO teeth whitening pen - A STAPLE! I like the 30 second wear and I do see a difference over continuous use! Not a dramatic difference but a natural and subtle one. It doesn’t irritate my teeth in the slightest either.

❤️‍🔥Orchid Gentle Face Wash - I’d buy this again if I could find it. It’s my favorite so far. A little goes a long way because of the lather and the size of the bottle is generous! The pump design is super convenient. I use it for my second cleanse.

🫶🏻Osana body wash - I like the consistency, lather & smell! It distributes nicely on the skin, I don’t feel stripped and I feel clean.

❤️‍🔥Dermasil Barrier Repair cleansing oil - Some reviews say this irritates skin. I wear a full face of makeup so I use this as a first cleanse to break down my makeup. It doesn’t irritate me most likely because it’s not touching my bare skin before the makeup dilutes it.

👌Brazilian Mist shave oil - I hate the packaging. The oil itself is too thin. I made it work by combining it with the Brazilian Mist non foam shave cream. The scent is on point though & I do get a good shave with it.

❤️‍🔥Revive Rx Face & Body Spray - A STAPLE! I am a triple threat-scoliosis, rheumatoid arthritis, & essential tremor. In an effort to reduce inflammation I sleep on a grounding sheet so I really can’t use traditional body lotions or oils at night. I’ve been using this spray as my nighttime moisturizer and the benefits of this are that it locks in moisture and prevents water loss, reducing night sweats, easy to apply with arthritic hands in a continuous mist bottle. I go through 2 bottles a month and I use both the PRC and India formulas interchangeably because they both work for me.

🫶🏻 Spa Luxury Passionfruit Escape foaming hand soap - It does the job and is more convenient to use with arthritic hands. I feel like the foam is a little flat with the dispenser it comes with so I switched it out with the dispenser from a BBW empty and that made a little bit of a difference. The smell is faint and that is the major complaint I have with this. But I do enjoy using it and although faint, the smell is pleasant.

👌Power Stick Brazilian mist non-foaming shave gel - I appreciate the thickness of the consistency & that it is milky in color so it’s easier to see when applied. The scent is a little plastic on the undertone but my biggest issue is the horrible bottle and the pop up top. The bottle is difficult to hold and to squeeze the gel from the pop up top. I mixed in the shave oil to thin it out & to enhance the scent & it worked a lot better.

❤️‍🔥Spa Scentials Sun Kissed Caramel perfume body oil - I use this everyday on my arms, chest & legs and layer a lotion & body spray over it. It isn’t a true oil and it creates a white cast but it does dry down nicely.

🫶🏻Revive Rx Face & Neck Firming Cream - The pump doesn’t work but I love the consistency of it and a little goes a long way. It glides so effortlessly over my skin and I feel so hydrated. It didn’t irritate my skin at all.

🫶🏻Cashmere Body Butter in Melted Caramel - Unpopular opinion incoming… Yes, it smells like corn on application BUT it doesn’t dry down that way and paired with the Sun Kissed Caramel perfume oil, Brazilian Sun cornstarch powder, Brazilian Sol antiperspirant, & Brazilian Sol or Brazilian Mist body spray, girl, it’s perfect! The thickness of it is amazing!

❤️‍🔥Natural Sense Rosemary Biotin Water hair mist - A STAPLE! I pick some up when I see it! I spray this on my hair every night before bed and it helps with fallout, makes my hair feel thicker, makes my shampoos last longer, makes my scalp feel refreshed.

❤️‍🔥Assured 5 blade razors - Another STAPLE, picking them up whenever I see them. Best razors ever.

🫶🏻Amber Glow Multi Peptide hair Serum - I use this every night in conjunction with the rosemary biotin spray and I like the viscosity of it! It distributes nicely, doesn’t weigh my hair down & isn’t oily and doesn’t make my hair feel greasy at all.

🫶🏻Spa Scentials Grape Water spray - It is very calming and soothing on the skin! The mist is clutch! I actually like it better than the hydrochlorous acid one. It makes me feel so bougie when I use it 🤣. I wanted to repurpose the bottle but I can’t figure out how to take the top off.

🫶🏻GBC Pore Purifying & Exfoliating Cleansing Balm - I love using this as a first cleanse. I take a little spatula and spread some on a makeup remover wipe. Game changer on the nights I’m too tired or in a lot of pain to do my oil first cleanse in the shower.

👌Scar Cream - I used this on my neck and didn’t see any noticeable difference. It is a good moisturizer. I have 2 more that I will empty.

👌Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum - This was a free gift with purchase sized bottle. I really like it & I can’t believe that little bottle lasted me the whole month! A tiny amount goes a long way and it’s a thicker serum that has great velocity. As much as I like it, I don’t think I’d ever purchase it. I think the serums from DT are just as effective.

💩GBC Rose & Geranium face oil - I have to let this go. It’s too heavy for my skin & very oily. It is also strongly fragrant. It doesn’t absorb well at all. This is best for very dry skin.

❤️‍🔥Bpure Setting Spray - A STAPLE. When I see it I grab it! I got 8 on hand but I will never clear a shelf. I love ❤️ it so freaking much that it’s actually the one of maybe 3 things I would consider buying in a case from the DT website. It holds my face for at least 8 hours.

🫶🏻Garnier SkinActive BB Cream for combo/oily skin - Discontinued, original formula. I had this for years and it was time to use it up. It is the best BB cream I ever used. My hope is that @DollarTree comes out with a dupe because it’s a 5 in 1 - SPF, mattifying, pore minimizing, color correction, moisturizing. It really lived up to all the claims.

❤️‍🔥Kokie Flawless Seal Setting Powder - Another STAPLE! Best loose setting powder I’ve ever used. It is so finely milled and contains talc which helps with even application & flawless wear. It isn’t cakey, blends effortlessly, and glides on smoothly.

💩LA Colors Brow Pencil - It’s too firm. I need something that is softer in consistency.

🫶🏻LA Colors contour stick - I really like the delivery method of this. It’s genius in its simplicity, application, precision & it’s clean. It blends out beautifully without much effort. The only drawback is I tend to need 2 sticks to last me a whole month.

🫶🏻Bpure Hydrating Primer Serum - I was bummed to find out this ended up being a part of the penny sale after I no longer seen it. This is an amazing primer that reminds me exactly of the Too Faced Hangover Rx hydration primer in terms of effectiveness and light consistency. It didn’t make my face feel greasy, it absorbed nicely, & my makeup wore perfectly with it.

❤️‍🔥Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation - My RIDE or DIE, holy grail foundation. The consistency isn’t too thin and isn’t too thick. It keeps me ultra matte & literally stays in place for almost 24 hours (I’ve been known to party and fall asleep with a full face). I used to wear this everyday 😬😬😬 until Pro Lux saved my wallet 💳. Although I get this foundation only when it goes on sale (heavily discounted) I have 7 more bottles on hand and it’s making me nervous to empty 1. I only wear this for going out now since Pro Lux is what I use everyday. But now I see Pro Lux have gone and changed their formula to “New & Improved” and the reviews are bad 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I run out of Pro Lux. 😢

💩Clinique foundation - This was a forced empty & I’m glad to be rid of it! Way too thin and shear! It is NOT buildable at all. Got rid of it by mixing it with my Pro Lux foundation or the Candy Moyo BB cream. I would say this is foundation for people who don’t wear makeup.

👌Le Mercerie (Le MerceLie) Pore Diffusion Primer - This is another forced empty. There is no pore diffusion to speak of! This is essentially a grip primer. It does a decent job of holding things in place but that’s about it.

💩Viva Color auto eyeliner - Hard as a rock & not in a good way. I need a soft liner with velocity to tight line.

🫶🏻LA Colors skinny brow pencil - Good velocity & color payoff. It’s soft but not too soft that it breaks. This is the only skinny auto brow pencil at DT. I have a few backups but will definitely be getting more in the future. It’s great to use alone & in conjunction with other brow products.

👌Elf auto brow pencil - It’s decent for a $3 pencil but honestly DTs brow products are so much better.

I have been on the hunt for the Le Mercerie perfumes for months now and they couldn’t be found anywhere on the west side of Los Angeles.

I had to drive to Pasadena yesterday for an eye exam which was a 46 minute drive from where I live. After my appointment I went to 3 DTs in Altadena & Monterey Park and all 3 had them!

It’s a damn shame that I had to drive so far to find them & that none of the DTs on the west side carry them considering this is a plus item 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️.

I just wanted to let my So Cal DT besties know where to find them if you’re like me and looking.

So many new finds & so GREAT restocks (looking at you Magnesium spray)!

This is two different DTs on a Saturday morning with 2 more to go to 😂.

So excited to find the Sol en Ibiza keychain sprays!!! I’ve seen this brand on TikTok & have been curious about it. I got the orange one & brown one. The scent is good and stronger than the Spa Luxury Sol de Janeiro dupes but it doesn’t last longer than 30 minutes.

It looks like there is an accompanying adult’s collection to the Happy Smiles line for the littles!!!!

I am down to the last 1/3 of my last bottle and have been looking 👀 for this restock for 2 months now! I got 5 bottles!

The oral care set appears to be for the littles.

The Brown Sugar whipped shaving cream was on my wish list. I have too many shaving products in back stock. It was difficult 😣 but I walked away.

Is this the same lip mask in new packaging or a different lip mask all together?

I saw it today and almost missed it. I didn’t get it but I’m curious.

Went to 2 more DTs after work and OMG I think 🤔 I had a DT orgasim aftershock!

This is all the new and restocks I seen. I didn’t get most of it with the exception of the Velvet & Bloom body washes and Strawberry 🍓 Shortcake candles (1 of each).

The Velvet & Bloom sugar scrubs I hauled this morning. They smell really high end! The bergamot & amber wood smells stronger and has a clean, refreshing scent. The saffron & cashmere smells like a cashmere lotion or candle but the scent is lighter. I like both!

There was a full carton of Essie polishes hidden on a narrow second shelf. I pulled it out to take the picture but put it back the way I found it. It was every freaking color of the rainbow 🌈.

Although the Silkspell was on my wish list, I really don’t need it so I left it behind.

I also forced myself to leave behind the watermelon 🍉 shave oil 😔. It smells so good it made my mouth water and it appears to be thick in consistency. But I honestly have way too many shave products at this point.

The bandages were also very difficult for me to walk away from . 🤣😍

OMG 😱 Stopped in a DT this morning and found the mother load of new & restocked items!

The Happy Skin Healthy Skin toner pads were a wish list find!

I can’t believe they had 2 different kinds of magnesium spray?!?!?

The CAI eyeliner comes in both black and brown!

Although the Velvet & Bloom sugar scrubs look 👀 like they were dug into, they are sealed. The container is huge!
I got so excited 😆 about the Happy Skin Healthy Skin Glow Drip eye serums! Wasn’t expecting these!

I can’t believe I found the Magnesium spray!!! Finally!!!

I did a sneak sniff of the pumpkin shave set and it smells good!

The River & Rowe set also smells good but I can’t justify buying it since I have enough shower items on hand 🥹.

I did haul a bar of the Caress! I’m interested since it says exfoliating.

Another Empties record with 50 empties for July!

❤️‍🔥 Fire - A definite repurchase!
🫶🏻 Great -Will most likely repurchase after I get through my back stock.
👌Okay - Does the job but I will not repurchase.
💩 - Horrible & will not repurchase.

🫶🏻 Pro Silk Pistachio Paradise lotion - This is my first time using this line and I only got 1 bottle. I am obsessed with this lotion in every way! The formula, consistency, scent, pump, spot on! It really does last 24 hours. I will eventually repurchase when I get through my back stock of lotions & body butters that will take me into next year.

❤️‍🔥Revive Rx face & body spray - I use this in a continuous mist bottle from the chest down. It’s my nighttime moisturizer. It locks in moisture, keeps night sweats at bay, easy to apply, absorbs efficiently & perfect for sleeping on a grounding sheet. I go through a bottle every 2 weeks.

❤️‍🔥 EVO mouthwash - Best mouthwash ever! I go through a bottle every 2 weeks and I’m down to 1 bottle 🥹. I will definitely be picking up 4 more bottles on restock when they come back to DT.

🫶🏻 Dermasil Barrier Repair Oil Cleanser - I wear a full face of makeup 4 days a week & use this as a first cleanse to break up makeup. It works fantastic and I will definitely repurchase after I work through the 3 bottles I have on hand.

👌Brazilian Mist Hair & Body spray - It’s okay for layering & definitely stronger in scent than the Spa Luxury Brazilian Sol body mist but I like the aerosol spray better. I have another bottle in back stock I need to empty but I won’t be repurchasing.

❤️‍🔥 Natural Sense Rosemary & Biotin hair mist - Obsessed with this! I’m down to my last bottle & waiting for DT to restock it! I pair this with the Amber Glow hair serum every night and have noticed a significant amount of less fall out since using it. Leaves my scalp feeling fresh either no residue or oil.

🫶🏻 Natural Sense unscented feminine wash - gentle, effective & great consistency. Love the quantity for the price point & packaging. I will repurchase after I work through my back stock of feminine washes.

🫶🏻 Spa Scentials Sunkissed Caramel perfume body oil - I use this daily as my first layer. I adore the scent & consistency. It pairs nicely with so many different scents of lotions, body powders & body sprays! This is a definite repurchase after I use up the other bottles I have on hand.

❤️‍🔥Bpure Mattifying Setting Spray - The best setting spray I’ve ever used. My makeup doesn’t budge for 8+ hours & I don’t touch up. I have 4 bottles on hand, but will be picking up more if I see them.

❤️‍🔥GBC Rose Milk hydrating toner - I have sensitive skin and this toner not only calms my skin it feels very refreshing at the same time. It makes me feel so bougie 🤑 when I use it and I have no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️ why 🤣. I will definitely be picking up another bottle when it’s restocked at DT.

🫶🏻 Amber Glow vanilla deodorant - The scent is 🔥! It pairs perfectly with my body oil, lotions, body mists & body powder. It has a great consistency and glides effortlessly. I use this in the morning and antiperspirant at night. I would repurchase it after I empty the 5 deodorants I have on hand.

👌GBC Power Serum - It’s an okay serum when used as part of a rotation with other serums but on its own my skin couldn’t tolerate it for daily use. I’m not sure if I saw a difference in my skin while using it. DT has other serums that are superior IMO so I will not repurchase.

🫶🏻 Amber Glow hair Serum - Love the consistency & viscosity of this serum! I use it nightly and it doesn’t leave my scalp feeling oily at all. I have a lot less fall out since using it & my hair feels fresh in the morning. I will be repurchasing after I finish the 3 bottles I have on hand.

🫶🏻 Prolux Matte Foundation - This was shade Sand. Although this shade leans yellow I made it work by mixing it with lighter shades that have pink undertones. This is my daily foundation & it’s comparable to L’Oréal Infallible Pro Matte IMO. Although I prefer L’Oréal, for the price point, I will continue to use Prolux as my daily foundation. The only downside is the shades seem to be a bit off. I have 3 bottles on hand & I will definitely repurchase after I empty what I have.

💩 Cai Contour Pallet - The container is hard to open, I could only use the darkest shade, as the others I couldn’t find a use for. It takes effort to blend out & wastes a lot of time.

🫶🏻 Happy Skin Healthy Skin Melon 🍈 Toner Pads - My favorite 😍 toner pads! The scent is so good and the pads are moist! These are the original formula made in the PRC & I refuse to buy the reformulation that is made in India with the reviews of scent & mold. I will definitely repurchase the original if I am lucky 🍀 enough to find them again but I have 3 containers on hand so I’m good for now.

🫶🏻Spa Scentials Hypochlorous Acid face mist - I use this as a toner and I like the spray function! The mist is so fine & even! I will definitely repurchase once I use up the 2 bottles I have.

🫶🏻 Bpure Champagne hand sanitizer spray - The champagne is in my top 5 of favorite sanitizer scents! I don’t get the alcohol forward with this one like I do some other Bpure scents & it is hydrating! I have so many other scents to empty that I couldn’t justify repurchasing this any time soon but I wouldn’t hesitate to pick one up in the far off future. Highly recommend if you come across it! I would reuse this container but the pump cap keeps falling off.

🫶🏻 Dog 🐶 shaped Soap filled sponge - I used this as my shower sponge and in conjunction with my body wash. As someone that has RA in her hands really bad this was a perfect size & delivery method for body wash. I purchased 4 in different shapes and I’m currently using the 2nd of the 4. I’m not crazy about the lather of the prefilled soap & would pass on this if you’re planning to use it without any other soap or wash.

🫶🏻 Blending Sponge - I got this in the 3 pk (hard plastic container) and I’m currently on the 2nd of the 3. This is better than Real Techniques sponges IMO in terms of product absorption but not as good as ELF total face sponge. But in terms of longevity, this sponge lasted a solid 2.5 months before it started breaking down. I do have to use 3.5 pumps of Prolux foundation with this sponge for full coverage & product absorption but I’m okay with that. I also use the damp sponge dipped in my loose setting powder to set my face and it works brilliantly for that for thinner coverage that isn’t caked. I will definitely repurchase after I use the ones I have on hand.

👌 ELF mechanical eyebrow pencil - This was a forced pan so I could free up space for and use my DT eyebrow products that are SOoo much better than this in terms of a softer consistency & pigmentation. The only redeeming thing I can say about this pencil is its waxy so it does a good job at taming & it doesn’t break. DT has been killing the eyebrow product space as of late & there’s no reason to pay $3.00 for this.

👌 Ioni Liquid Bronzer - Pros are big doe foot applicator, easy to blend, natural pigmentation with minimal product use. The con is there is not much product in the container & what’s there seems to dry out if not used relatively quickly.

👌 V34 Pearl White teeth whitening strips - Pros are the adhesive power is fantastic & 15 minutes of wear. Con - I’m not sure if it’s doing anything. I use this in conjunction with my EVO whitening toothpaste & mouthwash & my EVO whitening pen & I suspect the EVO products are doing the heavy lifting. On its own, you maybe will see the difference when using these strips better than I did. I have 2 more boxes on hand to empty.

💩 QUR shower steamers - Sensitive to placement in the shower. Depending on where they are placed, they either smell fantastic and melt rapidly or have little scent but melt slowly.

❤️‍🔥 Biopure Eyelid wipes - I am prone to styes so these baddies are an absolute necessity! I use one every night not only to remove residual eye makeup after my double cleanse but also after spraying toner on my face as toner can be very irritating to sensitive skin on & around the eyelids!

❤️‍🔥 Bug Bite Relief Patches - WOW 🤯 These work so well! Almost instantly they relieve itching & they are waterproof with the adhesive lasting for days! I’m so buying 4 more if I see them again! This is a must for first aid kits at the very least.

🫶🏻 Derma Prep Collagen & Peptide Moisturizer - This moisturizer literally saved my skin. I had a bad reaction to other DT skin care products in my rotation and this calmed my skin down beautifully. My skin loved this moisturizer & left my face feeling soft & glowing. It’s in my top 3 of moisturizers from DT & I will be repurchasing it after I work through emptying my moisturizers I have in back stock. It’s taken a lot of strength to leave them on the shelf when I do see them, not going to lie.

🫶🏻 Derma Prep Hyaluronic Acid & Squalene Serum - Used this in conjunction with the Derma Prep moisturizer & it was chef’s kiss 💋!!! My skin was so happy that I really wanted to cry! It’s probably the best serum I’ve found at DT tbh. It’s a definite repurchase after I empty the ones I have on hand.

👌Bpure Bond Repair Hair Mask - it’s okay when mixed with conditioner but on its own I found it to be too thin and I only could get 2.5 uses out of the package.

❤️‍🔥 Biopure Antibacterial Hand Wipes - I have these on hand in my car, living room & kitchen. I use them to clean surfaces, wipe my hands, wipe down the car interior, clean up messes. They are super moist, very effective and the added scents are fantastic while not being overpowering.

❤️‍🔥 Amber Glow Coconut Hand Wipes - My favorite wipes ever for the scent alone! I keep these on my makeup trolley to wipe down my surface and hands while doing my makeup. I’m on my last pack & will definitely be getting more.

🫶🏻 Lidocaine 4% Patch - Bought this in a pinch when my scoliosis pain was bad at work one day. It worked well to relieve some of the pain & I would purchase again to have on hand in case of emergency.

❤️‍🔥 VitaVits & VG gummies - I just started taking these in July and I’m really happy with them. I feel like they are enhancing my overall health & wellness and are a good combination with my prescription medication routine. That being said, be forewarned that 3 packages of the Vitavits gummies I have hauled so far only have 13 gummies in them! I suspect that’s how they ended up at DT.

The River & Rowe Collection smells so good! Looks like I was late to the party and missed the body wash.

Was super excited 😆 to find the eye cleaning mits. They make great gifts 🎁!

I went to a few Days after work. I picked up 2 more Brazilian Sol deodorants because they work good & smell great. I also got the cactus shave oil to try.

I was a tad late to the party but found some new to me finds at DT this morning.

I can’t believe they have 3 of the San de Janeiro duped Antiperspirant Deodorant scents!

The Elderberry & Beet Root gummies are new to me.

FINALLY found the Daise Bath Bombs! I hauled 4 for my gift 🎁 cabinet.

Hand Sanitizers galore! What impressed me the most was the matching cases for the new scents 😳😳😳?!?!

Vitavits B-12 gummies GET IN MY CART ❤️

Love ❤️ the summer scented foaming hand soap & although I don’t need any more, I got a chuckle 🤭 because the full case was hidden behind some random baby items & no one could see them.

I’m friends with a stocker at one of my DTs and she surprised me on Friday with these Paul Frank Makeup Remover Face Cloths! She didn’t even know that I’m obsessed with anything Paul Frank and she pulled them for me 🥹. I’m over the moon with these & Im going to find a way to reuse ♻️ or repurpose the packaging when I’ve emptied them. Any ideas or suggestions?

Visited a new DT and was excited to find the Golden Girls lip glosses!

I believe I saw this storage hack on Vivian Tries YouTube channel.

So when I saw the container in one of my DTs tonight I put a sanitizer in it in the store to make sure it was the one she was talking about & it was!

The hand sanitizers fit perfectly when played sideways & the container holds a total of 36 when double stacked.

I did haul the 3 pc Dani beauty set for my gift cabinet. & 1 of the perfume body oils but I’m going to go back tomorrow to get another one because I use it everyday & think 🤔 I need 1 more backup.

Although I want to get the closeout Elderberry Gummies, I didn’t get them because it could negatively impact my autoimmune disease.

I was so excited 😆 to find the Spa Luxury Brazilian Sol spray!!

I got 2 of the 3 that were left!

I’m really congested so I didn’t get a great sniff, but first impression is the alcohol hit first. The scent is subtle but it’s there & way more spot on than the Power Stick Brazilian Mist hair & body spray! I’m hoping 🤞that my sinuses were just screwed tonight & it smells better layered with the Pistachio Crème lotion and the Sunkissed Caramel perfume body oil serum.
