I found the Wave37 line last night and I didn’t buy anything, I thought I was being good, but I went back tonight and I caved! I only got a couple things from it though. Let me know if anyone has tried it and what you think of it.

Also, I noticed they no longer put the Splash eye gel masks in a box..not that it’s a big deal, but do they still come with a spatula? I’ve only ever tried the caffeine ones and they had those there too, also no longer in a box.

Curious about this Pearlessence Multi-Benefit Eye Serum, peptides are really high up on the list, so that looks promising..I’m not too crazy about tea tree oil being in there as the 10th ingredient, but I did some research and it still seems like it’s a fairly low concentration, niacinamide is also in this one :/ but these seem to go for anywhere between $14-$20 normally, I actually saw some products from this brand trying to be resold for up to $40 on eBay..not this exact one, but that was interesting..so I’m going to try her!

And last, but not least I finally found the pretty “LoveShackFancy” looking band aids! 🎀

I tried to post ingredients with most of the items I pictured in store, but some were just too hard to get good photos of.

Let me know what you think!

Finally home and had to run into my closest store for a quick peek! Lo and behold…THE ELUSIVE SCAR CREAM, I almost got 4 tubes, but I lowered it to 3 when I suddenly had the thought “have I really been searching for this for 6+ months and hyping it up over one person saying, one time, they use it on their neck?” Like I have never seen a before & after, as someone else pointed out on my other post! I’m going to be using it on my neck and along with my wrinkle and scar tape, so I’ll keep everyone updated! Still pretty excited though just based on looking for it for so long!

I also finally found the mini face mists! Another one I feel like I’ve been hunting for so long (not as long as the scar cream lol) The only one they didn’t have was the micellar water one, they only had like 3 left total, so I grabbed what I could. I’m so excited to finally try these!! They are the perfect purse or gym bag size, my mom was like “don’t get it confused with the hand sanitizer.” lol and valid point..

I picked out 2 scents in the $5 Le Mercerie perfumes, Baie Velvet and Sage Marine. I love them both! I can’t even decide which one I like more..the sage marine is more earthy fresh & clean and the Baie Velvet is a bit more floral, but still very soft..I sometimes get a bit of a headache from floral perfumes, but this doesn’t do that to me at all. I’m not sure about the longevity of them yet.

Also, the sage marine pairs really well with the eos dupe in fresh & breezy..which I also picked up today.

Also pictured, Dani Beauty On The Bright Side Serum, I almost got this, but I decided to pass on it..I have a handful of serums in my stash right now that I need to get through or make sure aren’t wasted before I add anymore to it, but if anyone’s tried it let me know how it is because I’m curious!

FINALLY, THE SCAR CREAM HAS HIT THE MIDWEST!
I came home just in time,
haul coming soon..

In honor of almost finishing my first tube of the b.pure Cooling Lip Serum (or maybe my first tube of lip balm that I’ve actually panned ever..) and now needing a back up for my back up..I wanted to take a moment to sing its praises because, while I understand, just like everything..this may not be for everyone..I truly love this product and don’t feel like it gets enough love for my liking!

First, let’s start with an insignificant detail, I’ve always been a blue lip gloss girly and while this isn’t exactly blue per say, it does have a greenish cool toned hue to it that I appreciate.

I love the consistency of these lip serums, for me it’s the perfect not too thick, not too thin consistency, it feels smooth, buttery and satisfying to apply and isn’t too heavy or sticky on my lips. I enjoy all 3 of them, but this one is my absolute favorite.

It truly moisturizes my lips with the hyaluronic acid, coconut oil and vitamin E..do I know which one is doing the most? No, but it’s working! And I love the cooling feeling, it’s not that typical Carmex cooling feel either..it’s mild, but pleasant and somehow just adds to that moisturized and plump feel.

Also, the scent..I can’t describe it to save my life, but I love using it..it’s not like a scent that I’d say “oh! That smells so good!!” It’s not like that, but I’ve come to enjoy it, maybe because I love the product so much that when I smell it it’s almost like a little dopamine hit for me 😅😌 it just makes me happy and I associate it with my final step before bed time and feeling clean, happy and fulfilled after doing my skin and self care for the night.

And last, but certainly not least..I wanna talk about the retinyl palmitate that is in all 3 of these lip serums. When I first got them, and saw they all contained that, I was a bit put off by it at first and didn’t really like that being in a lip product for me. It made me feel like I couldn’t really use these in the daytime and I still don’t typically, this really is my go to nighttime lip product. I’ve been caught here and there using it in the day time when I can’t resist because I love it so much..but for the most part it’s in my PM line up. However, I’ve come to appreciate the little bit of retinyl palmitate that is in them.. since using this consistently for the last..,hm I’d say it’s been at least 2-2 and a half months, my lips truly look smoother and fuller. I can visibly see the touch of added volume to my lips! And this is the only new product that I’ve been using every single day consistently on them at this time.

I use it at night and I always wake up to hydrated, moisturized, smooth and full lips! 😌🩵

Did anyone else notice, with the ioni maracuja nourishing melt lip balm, it says on the packaging “designed with a unique METAL applicator” ..i don’t know about everyone else, but this looks and feels plastic to me! Don’t get me wrong, I love it and I love the applicator! ..but I don’t think that’s metal? 🤔 thoughts? 😅

At this point I have been to 7 stores total, there is only 1 single store left in the city, unless I start going to the next town over 😂 I almost didn’t even stop here, but I’m so glad I did because I found the ioni lip balms I wanted!! And I’ve been wanting a back up of the Marie Claire lip plumper!

This store was so stocked! They had so much! I took photos of some of the stuff I was just excited to see! I really wanted the new eos dupes in pistachio and fresh & breezy, THEY SMELLED SO GOOD, but the sad reality of vacation hauling sometimes is..if you’re flying..there may be some issues lol

..so I had to leave the lotions behind 😭 , but if I find out we are driving back or even if my husband decides to drive back instead then I am going back and getting them!! (we used to live down here for a couple years and still have a house we are trying to clear out, so that’s why I’m like..we may fly, we may drive! Ya just never know lol)

I almost got the Amber glow body oils, but I couldn’t even smell the peony & amber one at all..it literally had like no scent to me and I just wasn’t crazy about the apple one after smelling it. Excited to finally find them though! It was also my first time finding the cashmere body butters, but I’m not a big body butter girl, more so in the winter..but I like my lotions..those were another thing I just wasn’t sure about anyways with getting them home. Now I’m thinking though, I could ship them to myself..oh no..why didn’t I think of that before!? lol

Happy Hauling 💸

This is the result of me driving around to 4 different stores today!! At this point, there’s only 1 or 2 in the area that I haven’t checked out yet 😅 …and honestly, there’s a chance I still may end up at one of them..I’ve been mapping them out and checking them off my list! lol

So I was super excited to find the Phlur dupes! They didn’t have morning cloud though, which is what I really wanted to try🥲 they did have the warm vanilla, but I passed on that one..I can’t remember if I just couldn’t smell it or if I didn’t like it.

Okay..so many blushes!! And I have a couple I wanna talk about..first of all, I’ve been kicking myself for like 6 months for not getting the seashell mermaid blush when I had the chance, I thought I would for sure never see one again..so when I saw one today it was in my cart immediately!

I’m also so excited to have finally found the b.pure clean beauty blush in pink mist!! I love those blushes and I’ve been hunting for pink mist for so long! It’s the only shade I have never seen in person before and I’m going through a bit of a pink blush phase..I used to lean towards peaches and corals, but I’m liking pinks lately.

Alright, the Marie Claire liquid blush is what I really wanna talk about..so I have that blush (love it) in the dusty pink shade and in soft pink..well, today at one of the stores they had both the shades I’m familiar with, but they also had this super light pink one..so I looked at the shade name and it’s also called “soft pink”, but like I said they had the original soft pink that’s a bit darker as well..so I’m not sure if it’s a batch issue or just another shade of pink that they’re also calling “soft pink”, but I thought it looked really cute, so I got it. I’m hoping it will give kinda a light flush K-beauty look. I’ll post a swatch soon. Please, let me know if anyone else has seen this shade!

The b.pure multistick lip & cheek was a first time spot for me, I haven’t even seen it online yet, but I haven’t really been keeping up the last few weeks, so I could be late..they also had it in berry and coral..I went with the muave.

Finally found the jet set eye cream! That’s the only product from that line I have yet to find and try! And of course, it’s the one that from the start I wanted to try the most! I actually found one single one all by itself at one stop then at the next they had a fresh set of them, so I grabbed a second one.

Also, excited to find the essentially ageless concealer in my shade for the first time EVER. I saw juicyjas use this as a foundation years ago and I’ve been wanting to try it ever since..she makes everything look so good and wearable though! I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried it.

The nails are for my daughter 💘

Let me know what you think!

As alwaaaayyyss,
Happy Hauling 💸

Plus a few new to me things I saw in this store!

I finally found the BODY PERFUME OILS 😭 I’m so happy! I have been waiting to find these! I had to buy all 4 scents and I usually never do that, I’ll just pick a couple scents, but I loved them all!

Another item I’m so excited about is the b.pure hydrating concealer IN FAIR, yall the amount of times I have found this, gotten excited and then realized there was only tan or medium beige (something like that) and i definitely couldn’t make them work..well, it happened again..then in a little basket off to the side with a bunch of stuff in it..I spotted it! I am so excited to finally try this!!! Kinda concerned I’m gonna love it though and then not be able to find my shade yet again..oh well.

The freckle pen is a big miss, btw. I opened it last night and the brush looked like it had seen better days, I also think it might be dried out a bit..I got some freckles out of it, but they were a bit odd and idk if I’ll get anymore. Also, this shade says “dark brown” but this was giving a bit more warm reddish tone, which didn’t really bother me..but just to be noted.

I was happy to find the soap sheets, I’ve been wanting those for my purse. I didn’t realize they were different scents though, I grabbed the purple just cause I liked that color, but now I wanna know what the blue scent was. This one is lavender.

My daughter wanted the orange 🍊 😅 and ya know what, I’m actually pleasantly surprised with the hand cream inside it! It’s not bad, I don’t mind the scent, and there’s quite a bit in there! And it doubles as a make believe kitchen orange 😭 kinda wish we got the lemon now too cause I’m curious..

The little pencil bags are for makeup, so cute!! I love the cherries and bows! My daughter wanted one of each too, but she’s 7, so they’ll probably be used for their actual purpose with her haha but I love them for all my current DT makeup finds or whatever I’m testing and for travel.

As for the shelf shots, so I had never seen that sea salt spray! I love a good hair texturizing sea salt spray, but I just got the Amber glow wave spray recently, so I was kinda like ehh do I need another one so soon? It was the only one there, but let me know if you’ve seen it before. Also, the twilight glow mist, loved the scent..but it was very light and didn’t even last my whole shopping trip, so I put her back, that usually won’t stop me and it was hard because the bottle is so pretty! ..I’m kinda being mindful though because right now I’m not sure if I will be flying back home or driving, and if we fly I don’t wanna have too many big bottles of things to lug back..still may end up with her and the shower gel, but yet to be determined..I know I don’t need it!! But it’s hard to say no 😭🥲

Let me know what you think, as always..

Happy Hauling 💸

Excuse the sandy sheets, we’re at the beach.
I finally got into another Dollar Tree today. To be honest, so far I’ve been able to visit way less than I wanted to..and it’s been hard 🥲 don’t judge me. Minus the lack of my favorite addiction, I’ve been having fun with my family, so that is of course most important! I still have some time left though, so hopefully I’ll get to pop into one or two more.

I was so happy to finally see the Orchid Skincare!! I’ve been looking for these for months now, I’m sure when I get home everything I found here will finally actually be at all my home stores..but oh well, I’m still happy!

The Amber glow Honey & Coconut infused hair oil was another exciting find for me! As well as the hand cream.

I picked up another Power Stick Post Shave lotion..I’ve gotten 3 since I’ve been here, that one I have NEVER EVER seen before until I found it down here, so I feel the need to stock up!

Also, I’ve never seen the Global Beauty Care lip sleeping mask in GUMMY BEAR? Am I just late to the party? I was excited about that one cause I love it in the raspberry and lavender.

I also love these neon pencil bags for makeup, I got a pink one last time and filled it with my DT makeup finds, so I picked out 2 more colors:) I feel like I can think up some nifty way to use them that somehow incorporates the rings on them, but that’s yet to be determined.

Let me know what you’ve tried!

As always..

Hey yall, so I usually do a haul just about every other day when I’m at home, but I am on the gulf coast for the remainder of the summer and I had been dying to get into some stores here!! I’m not kidding I was having withdrawals from my favorite store!! Well, I finally got to hit up one I’m familiar with and she did not disappoint!! 😭

I FINALLY FOUND THE POWER STICK BRAZILIAN MIST POST SHAVE CREAM!! this is one of my unicorn products! This is a product that I have been searching for so long, I have posted about it so many times just to confirm she existed and when I saw that purple label on that bottle..and knew it wasn’t the shave gel, which I have, and that has the turquoise/greenish logo..I knew it was the post shave cream! I almost screamed when I saw it! There was one on a random shelf that I found, but then I found them all..I used it last night and I love it! I wish I had all my Brazilian mist products here with me, so I could do a proper layering of the scent with allll the products! I am so over the moon about this one though, I only got 2 bottles, but I’m considering going back and getting 2 more..so happy.

This store was so stocked, they had just about every ioni collection out and full. I had never seen the cherry collection in person, so I was super excited to get my hands on some things from that collection! I will say I tried the cherry melting lip balm last night and I’m not a fan, unfortunately! The color is just way too red for me, but not only that..there’s like a little piece of plastic on the applicator that needs to be filed down or something, it scratches my lips when I apply it instead of it feeling smooth..so I will try to file it down and maybe use a lip liner with it, it looks kinda good when I wipe it off after using it lol but it’s just a super bright dark reddish pink and just doesn’t look good on me..I’d much prefer it if it was a bit more subtle. I haven’t tried any of the other cherry products I got yet, but let me know if you see any here that you’ve tried and what you think!

I did try the b.pure Daytime Repairing Hair Mask last night and I absolutely loved it! Someone had said it was really good in here once when I posted a shelf shot of it, so whoever you were..thank you for the rec! Loved it!

The Dolly’s adventure nails, it’s so funny I finally found them because I actually have those on one hand right now..you see, I could only find one pack and I had been hanging onto them hoping to find another pack to do a full set, but never could, so I finally ended up just doing 2 different sets on each hand because I wanted to use them so bad..then I find them! I grabbed 2 so I can finally do a full set of those in the future!

I had also been looking for the K-beauty peach lip gloss for awhile, I have the dewy blush that goes with it and really wanted the gloss too! The ioni soft liquid lip and cheek was another long awaited find! And those ioni lash clusters are my absolute favorites, used to see them all the time and never see them anymore, so I was really happy to see a couple packs of those because I’m down to my last pack and actually brought it on vacation with me!

There were some things I put back, they had another style of the Juicy Couture headband, but I didn’t end up purchasing it, I was able to get a couple at my store back home..I actually wish they weren’t velvet, so I could wear them as bath/skincare headbands! They also had another color in the Sally Hansen insta-dry Reese’s Halloween collection, I have the green color and this one was a yellow, but I put that back as well..they had quite a few of both of these items though. I may have to go back, but I’m trying to pace myself because I have at least 3 other Dollar Trees to explore while I’m here and that list could grow.. 😅 more hauls to come, I’m sure! I’m just so excited to be seeing products that I don’t normally ever see when I’m back home! As always, let me know what you think, what you’ve tried, what you love, what you hate..and all the in between!

Happy Hauling 💸

I leave tomorrow for Florida, I’ll be down there for about a month..why am I lowkey having like separation anxiety from my stores 😭😂 I know I’ll be hitting up the ones down there and it will be nice for a little change to see what they got going on down there, but I keep thinking “what if I miss something here while I’m gone!?” I literally keep tabs on all the stores in my area..this is a lifestyle, y’all..or maybe I just have a problem..lol oh well, anyways..I really just went in to get travel size bottles cause I’m not checking a bag or anything, but of course I ended up with all these other random things too😅

Found 2 different Pacifica products at one of my stores today. The store I found them at is known to usually carry the name brand items that go around, but I haven’t seen anyone post these yet!

Went to 3 different stores today, it was my first time visiting one of them. I ended up running into the kindest woman who was definitely a Dollar Tree girl and probably in this sub somewhere 😅 if you’re reading this: Hey girl! Thank you for helping me get that box of magnesium spray out! We both talked about what we were on the hunt for lately and have seen online and where etc. so she was for sure up to par with the latest DT finds!

Here’s some things I saw at the stores I visited, some of its stuff I’ve never seen before, some things were just restocks I got excited about like the Dermasil Oat serum and the Face towels, of course..I have so many, but I grab a few every time I see them now. I’m going out of town for a bit, so I grabbed a pack of the travel size ones, it was the last pack of those and they were hiding!

I also got really excited about these little silicone bags, I saw someone online make a little “emergency kit” with one and attach her hand sanitizer to it. It looked so cute and I love stuff like this for purse organizing.

Also, Pacifica at Dollar Tree?? I found these at my “name brand store”, there’s a particular store near me that always gets all the name brand stuff, so I wasn’t shocked to see these there at all, but I hadn’t seen them going around or posted anywhere else yet!

I’m trying the Marie Claire lip plumper, saw someone using it in a video yesterday and decided it was cute and I wanted it lol so was glad to see that. I don’t expect it to be very “plumping” but the packaging is cute and she looks glossy.

The nails were the only set that I didn’t grab when I originally saw the Pink Cowgirl collection months ago, the new store I went to had a fresh Pink Cowgirl Display, so I grabbed them.

And of course, I found the magnesium spray..it was still in its box on the dolly, but me and my found friend pulled it out, opened it and each took one.

Let me know what you think, what you’ve seen, used, want, love, hate..all the things :) as always, Happy Hauling 💸

**not my photo** I saw this on Facebook from yoursocialsister
Look at these! I want them 😭 I really want the island mist and morning cloud!! They look so budget luxury and I’m here for it. Has anyone seen these in person yet and smelled them?? I believe they are dupes of PHLUR.

After my post yesterday about the green cleanser being for the body..I finally found it today! I feel like I manifested it lol I had never seen it in person and I stopped in a store a little further from my house today and found her..in the body care section! The collection is now complete! Also, i smelled it..it smells like a lighter/less strong version of Irish springs green soap to me..I don’t hate it. It’s not my favorite, but I don’t hate it, I’ll definitely be using it as a body wash though! I can also see how a lot of you compared it to pinesol😂 to each their own, but I totally get it.

A few days ago I picked up the Spa Luxury Parisian Rose Hair & Body mist, I actually sprayed this in one store and didn’t buy it thinking it didn’t really last then the whole way home it’s all I could smell and I loved it. Something about it just really agreed with my body chemistry. I am never a florals girl when it comes to scents, so I was really surprised, but I kept thinking about it, so I grabbed her the other day from a different store and I’ve been wearing it a lot! It’s like a light fresh rose and I’m usually a fresh and clean scent girly.

I also found these Orchid ingrown hair pads, I’d never seen them before..I don’t think, but I’m excited to try these for after shaving on my bikini line. I kinda debated if I really needed them or if I could just use my Dermasil glycolic acid toner for that as well, and I’m sure I can, but I went ahead and picked them up to try! It’s summer..I’m in a bathing suit all the time, why not? They’ll be used! Hoping they work.

And finally, I’m buying into the purple oral care trend..I got the evo purple toothpaste and 2 little bottles of purple Optimax Mouthwash, all 3 of these items were only $1.00 which surprised me, I was expecting them to be the usual $1.25. I’m not really sure what to expect with these, but I just got them to try! It kinda reminds me of when the black activated charcoal fad was in and they had the black charcoal toothpaste..we will see if this really does anything or not. I mean, color theory is real!? Fingers crossed, it would be cool if it did.

Lemme know what yall think! What you’ve tried, what you love, what you hate? All the things!

This isn’t my photo! just wanted to get that outta the way! Now, I may be late here and if I am yall can fry me in the comments, but there’s been so much talk over this one and it’s always spoken about like it’s a facial cleanser..then I heard someone argue it’s a feminine cleanser..no, no..both are wrong. THIS IS A BODY CLEANSER YALL, DUH! idk why I didn’t realize it sooner! It’s the same packaging as their whole body care line! The body lotion in the orange, the serum in the yellow and the scrub in the pink! This is the body wash in that line! It’s for our bodies! I have the lotion, serum and scrub, but have yet to find this..whenever my store gets a box of that line it’s always just the lotion, serum, scrub..but now that I know this is,in fact, body care and part of that set..I will be on the lookout for it! And hey, if it works for your face and you’re happy with it..no shame..if it works it works! I’ve just seen a lot of discourse over this one and wanted to share:) EDIT: yall, I dug a little deeper and it is apparently “duel purpose” for face & body! So it’s a face AND body cleanser..if it’s too strong or stripping for your face, it’s also meant for body! I’ll, personally, be using it on my body..once I find it! Cause I don’t use DT face cleansers..I do think it is meant to go with the body care line that it matches with, but it’s a duel purpose product. but like I said before: if it works for your face then that’s great! She can do both! lol

My friend in North Carolina just sent me this photo, I think there were a couple other scents, maybe a vanilla..not sure what the other one was, but I remember thinking it was pumpkin shaped at first cause the bottle was orange 😅 has anyone seen these around yet? I’m starting to see more Amber Glow products in my neck of the woods! I just picked up 2 different hair products from them the other day, but haven’t seen these yet.

Yall..my least favorite store, the one that’s 2 minutes from my house, they haven’t stocked ANYTHING in at least 2 months..the store looked like a hurricane had gone through it and was getting BARE..well, I still check it on the regular and I decided to pop in today..THEY WERE FINALLY STOCKING!! and I found some absolute GEMS! 😊😎 so let’s get into it…

First off what brought me there the REVIVE RX NATURALLY MOISTURIZING FACTORS+PHYTOCERAMIDES FACE & BODY SPRAY, after realizing from a post today that I am actually using and obsessed with the “old version” I wanted to run up to my closest store just to see if I could snag a few more bottles of it before it disappears for good..and yall, they were restocking THIS version! The sealed “delicately made in PRC” version! The “good” one! Now, this could totally just be left over stock, cause like I said, this store has not put new stock out in months and I know the back room was a disaster full of truck loads they never put out..so that could definitely be what was happening there, but I did not ask questions..I just kinda panic grabbed! I felt blessed by the DT Goddess and I wasn’t wasting the opportunity, cause I love this OG formula. Don’t worry, I did not clear the shelf, I’d never do that. I only bought a couple back ups..I really love this with the Hydro Plus cream gel and I don’t care for how the new formula looks with the addition of castor oil:/ I don’t hate castor oil, but it feels like it cheapens it a bit..idk!

Moving on to what I’m probably most excited for 😭 AMBER GLOW MULTI-PEPTIDE SERUM FOR HAIR I’ve been looking for her!! She’s been on my wish list for a minute and when I saw that fresh box my jaw was on the floor..

Also grabbed the AMBER GLOW HAIR WAX SLICK STICK, I saw this and I think the packaging kinda got me and again me just grabbing one of anything from a fresh box cause I was so excited and kinda blacked out..afterwards I was kinda like girl, did you really need this? Cause I’ve been wearing my hair down as much as possible lately due to a little bit of traction alopecia I was getting from wearing it up too much before..but I do get some frizz on the top of my head whenever I style it and use my hot tools, so I’ll try this for that, I have the little b.pure mascara wand looking one too that works well for that.

Grabbed a jar of XTRACARE EXTREME RENEWAL CREAM I have never purchased this before, I do see this fairly often, I think, but they were actually down to the last few of these. I’ve heard good things about it and I love the ingredients, they look good. Really curious what this feels like, I haven’t opened it yet..I’m really hunting for the Orchid Vanicream Dupe, but I can’t find it anywhere anymore!

And last, but not least.. GLOBAL BEAUTY CARE TURMERIC FACE MILK ahhhh this is my first time finding it!! I have seen it before months and months ago, but I didn’t really give it a glance and now I’ve seen so many wonderful reviews on it! The ingredients list is on point with this one! This was another one with a fresh box that I could have just openly danced and squealed over. I’m so excited to finally see this around again!

If you’ve read this far lol as always, let me know what you think and what you love and hate!
