I really can't help myself 🙃

Just a few finds, i had to..its Friday!

Finally got the night lip mask! After I passed it up way too many times, it finally came back around..

I think I'm just addicted to buying lip balms and treatments, I get so excited to put another one in my little lip balm basket, also from Dollar Tree and kudos to a fellow sub member for the idea! Anyways, the ioni lip balm, very pretty color, and the night lip treatment are now my little baskets newest additions! 💄

Now, im really confused about this blush..please, if anyone has tried this, let me know! It looks, smells and feels like a lip balm, but it clearly says its a blush..even the directions confirm its a blush..but I did a swatch and it's super balm like, goes on pretty much clear, but leaves a bit of a dewy look..i tried putting it on my hand really heavy just to see if I could get any color and the light pink did start to show up, but as soon as I blend it out it disappears and just looks dewy again. I mean, I used to have a favorite highlighter a long time ago from Becca cosmetics that kinda reminded me of this, it just left a very clear, natural, dewy look on the skin, so I could see myself still using this like that, but part of me is also wondering if this is like "kids play makeup" and I got fooled 😂 someone let me know if they've seen these or tried them!

Happy Hauling 💸

I stupidly passed you up once, and it won't happen again!

Yall have probably seen at least one of my 100 comments on how I passed this up 100 times at my store, without realizing how sought after it was, only to go back for it and it be gone..naturally. well, I didn't have to wait long..I started checking out a new store a couple days ago and went back there today..and was met with THIS! 🤩 I really do be manifesting..💸✨️🔮

Haul from a new store.. I FINALLY FOUND THE JET SET LINE. 🛩

I finally found it 😭 The Dermasil Jet set line, I almost missed it, but I did one more sweep and these were the very last products they had left, so unfortunately they did not have the eye cream which is actually what I wanted to try the most, but it's okay! It will come around, eventually! I'm just so excited to finally have found these..ive been looking for AWHILE.

I also found another tube of the brightening drops from the ioni la dolce Vita collection! I've been hitting myself for not buying more than one bottle of these when I first saw them because I love them so much and I finally found more! And I also found the bronzing drops, which are a new find for me, as well as the lip & cheek balm in the nude peach shade! I just saw a post the other day from someone saying they loved this product and that it was super easy to just sweep on and go, and I love an easy to use product! They had the other darker shade as well, which I kinda wish I would have gotten too, but we shall try this first! I've loved almost every product that I've tried from this particular ioni collection.

The b.pure floral lip gloss is something else I had never seen before, they only had one, it was hanging out on an end cap with some other miscellaneous lip products. It was so cute, I couldn't pass it up! The little flower and greenery inside it! I've already tried it and I actually love it! It smells really good, feels great on my lips, it's thin like a lip oil, but just slightly thicker, no stickiness at all. It feels very hydrating and it actually absorbs into my lips and leaves them feeling soft and moisturized. Surprisingly, no mineral oil! Now I am not a mineral oil hater, I dont mind it at all, the only reason I mention its absence is that it's a b.pure lip product and they always seem to have mineral oil in most lip products I've tried from them. This has vitamin E, Shea butter, and chrysanthemum flower extract in it as its "hero" ingredients.

The little Bazooka bubble Keychain was just too cute to pass up, I always have a pack of bubblegum in my purse and I always keep the little jokes and comics from them 😅 so I picked this one out for my keys, but they had a ring pop one and an icee one too, that were really cute..my daughter is probably gonna try to steal it from me.

The Alice in Wonderland body scrub and lip gloss, I actually got as part of a gift for someone else, I have both of these already and every other Alice in Wonderland product I have seen in there because my name is Alice and I have to always buy anything that's Alice in Wonderland. 🌹💙

Let me know what you've tried! Happy Dolla Hauling💸

Browsed a new store today..

Wasn't sure what flair to use..but anyways, I browsed a new store today and here are some things I found of interest! I'm sure most of this isn't new, but some of it is definitely new to me!

I had never seen the Power Stick Conditioner before! I was told it existed, but had never seen it before! I am obsessed with that entire scent range from that line.

Another Power Stick find, a limited Edition Toasted Honey scent in the shower gel!? Has anyone else seen this? Also, has anyone else noticed that they have 2 different colors now for the Brazilian Mist scent? Some are the OG turquoise and some are now this bluish/Grey color..idk, just something I've been noticing and seeing more of.

Saw various reusable makeup remover pads from Skintimate and Sassy & Chic, the Sassy & Chic ones, from what I could feel through the bag, felt very thick and nice. I truly really love that brand and all the beauty tools I've gotten from it.

First time, for me, seeing these b.pure glow up contours, highlighters and blushes, i've been told/shown from a fellow sub member the highlighter is really beautiful!

Another first for me, and perhaps the most interesting, the b.pure shimmering liquid eyeshadow! They only had these 2 shades "frost" a silver and "ember" a gold, but I'm really curious about these if anyone has tried them?

Also, I found these really cute candles that smelled like different candies and had the candy label printed on the glass candle holder..I like things like that, but I thought they were cute. They had even more scents/candy brands than I fit in the photo.

Let me know what you've seen and tried,

I have a little haul coming soon 💚💸

A lovely DT package gifted to me 🥹🩷

The kindest and most generous fellow Dollar Tree lover sent me this lovely package! 🥲

I had been searching for the Poly Juice serum for so long 😭 my skin absolutely loves polyglutamic acid, it's my favorite skincare ingredient ever, once upon a time it SAVED my skin barrier, you can do so much with it and I could sing its praises all day! So naturally, when i saw Dollar Tree had dropped one of their own, i was hunting high and low for it! I could not find it anywhere, and I had never had an item from DT that I truly wanted this bad, I was going out of my way to find it! Until a very thoughtful human graciously offered to send me some! 🥹💚 I am so grateful and SO EXCITED!

I can't wait to try ALL these goodies! It's my first time ever trying all of these! I've never had ANY of the hand sanitizers, if you can believe it! I didn't know what I was missing because they smell sooo good and are so cute with the pink sparkles 💖 and the cases are so fun.

The way Aunt Lydia is with the girls VS. The handmaids.

Do you think the way Aunt Lydia is with the girls, VS. How she was with the handmaids, has more to do with them being the daughters of commanders or what we know Lydia has been through at this point and how she may truly feel now?

This may be one of those questions or thoughts that only makes sense in my head or is hard to explain, but I'll try to give an example here: at the tea party, when the "Commanders Cake" came out, Aunt Vidala started in on a speech about "The Commanders Cake" and what it represents and the commander this and that and Lydia interrupts and says "oh! Go ahead and dig in!" Or something very close to that, along those lines. I, personally, didn't take that as a slight at Vidala or for her to shut up, more so I took it as Lydia kinda lowkey being like 'who fucking cares what this cake has to do with those men..they didn't bake it! Let's just eat it and enjoy it!' And that would make sense with what I think Lydia's character truly thinks or feels now after the final events we saw with her in THT.

So it got me thinking, do you think the way she is with these girls now, a bit more kind and gentle, she definitely comes off much softer now than she did with the handmaids, although obviously we did see her have her "kinder" moments then too..do you think it has more to do with who they are, being the daughters of the men who run Gilead, or the fact that Lydia has changed some of her thoughts and beliefs? Or a bit of both?

Summer tutoring

Anyways, my daughter will be doing summer tutoring, for 1st grade readiness, it will be for 1 month, 3 days a week for 3 hours each day. From 9am-noon. Does this sound appropriate? I want her to benefit from this without getting burnt out. I tagged this "ask teachers", but I'm open to answers from all. Thanks! Edit: im not AI..im genuinely just a mom asking a question. Sorry my post sounds like AI! I don't really know what else to say..would you like my name and DOB? Lol

I manifested an Oatmilk Restorative Face Serum.

So I was really bad this week..I was in my store *at least* 3, maybe 4, times just this past week..JUST CHECKING 🙃 in case they stocked anything new..cause my home store has been SLACKING lemme tell ya..

so anyways, I had seen a post about the oatmilk restorative serum singing its praises and I realized I had never actually seen this serum in person, only in here. So I thought to myself "well, let the hunt commence!" I went in to my store last night, I was just there the night before (I know..I know..) I wanted to go ahead and get a backup of the Spa•scentials "air" serum with ceramides & cica, so I walk down the beauty aisle that I am intimately familiar with..nothing new out..again, WAS JUST THERE..and sitting..all by its lonesome..on the top shelf..is one single little bottle of none other than DERMASIL OATMILK RESTORATIVE FACE SERUM! IT WAS JUST SITTING THERE, WAITING FOR ME, LIKE IT APPEARED THERE JUST FOR ME..I FELT MAGICAL!

i am telling yall, I have been in this store like the last 3 days in a row, i have never seen this serum there before, they had put nothing new out..I don't know where it came from, but I snatched it up so fast its like it was never there at all! Wild how happy just a little bottle of serum makes me, but here we are! 😃 I also got a bottle of the Spa•scentials "water" serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Aloe Vera, and the Dermasil Eczema Relief Body Lotion to try.

Unnecessary Mid-Week Haul🙃

Went in for 1 specific thing..came out with..everything, but what I went in for.

Has anyone seen or tried these b.pure glow up lip balms? That was new to me and I couldn't seem to find, but 1 post on here about them.

I'm super excited to try the spa•scentials ceramide & cica face serum, I saw someone post about it yesterday that it was sensitive skin friendly, helped with their redness and was almost like a gel..and I very much wanted every part of that! I love cica and the ingredients list is so short and simple and the hero ingredients are very close to the top, I'll post the ingredients in the comments. I almost feel like this would be amazing kept chilled in the fridge.

Restocked on some of my sheet masks:

-Farm stay real oatmeal essence mask

-Eunyul natural moisture mask pack Snail

-Eunyul daily care sheet mask Rice

-Eunyul daily care sheet mask Honey

All are so good.

The 2 brushes are Sassy + Chic, foundation brush and powder brush. I love the powder brush, it's almost a dupe for the real techniques setting powder brush. It's kinda flat and tapered, but still dense.

Also, can you tell that i love a blue bow? 🩵🎀

I'm kinda starting to not care for Becka..

I understand *why* Becka is bitter, in general. .of course. But why is she so mean to Daisy? >!All the other girls we see are slowly starting to accept Daisy, not just her presence, but they're talking with her, confiding in her and really welcoming her into their circle like a friend. Becka is still just calling her "the pearl girl" and asking "why does your pearl girl have to sit with us?" I was glad when Agnes said "she's my friend." ..Becka did technically confide in Daisy the night of the ball, but she was drunk and I wonder if maybe that has something to do with why she's kinda mean to Daisy? Is she worried about her knowing her secret? Or..is she jealous of how close her and Agnes are getting? (I actually don't think it's that one) I don't know! I wanna hear other thoughts on this..im also really curious to find out what exactly Becka "does" cause in the description for a coming episode it said something about her facing the consequences and how far will Agnes and daisy go to help her?!<

Has anyone used the xtracare extreme renewal cream on the face?

Any tips or tricks for using these?

Curious what everyone thinks of these? I know at least the b.pure one seemed to go fairly viral on TT, idk if that was more cause it seemed like a rare beauty dupe or if it was really based on performance. .They both seem to dry down really fast for me and I have trouble blending them out before they dry..now I have only attempted with my finger so far, so it could be as simple as like "hey..use a brush!" LOL but if anyone has any tips or tricks for how they use them or get them to blend nicely, I'd appreciate the advice!

I wasn't aware Power Stick had a shower gel in the Brazilian Mist line, but everytime I'd see the 2 in 1 shampoo I'd think..I wish there was just a shower gel! Well, today my wish came true! I finally got a shower gel in my favorite scent..another layer lol

I also finally gave in and bought the deodorant too, im not a big fan of "aluminum free" deo, but I'm too obsessed with that line and smelling like that scent to not at least try it! Now, if only I could find the lotion!!

I think I had seen this ioni line already, "La dolce Vita", but maybe just online, so I'm excited to try these brightening drops and I love the shade of this cheek tint in hazelnut Gelato.

Also, never seen a Dove bar in gentle exfoliating! I was very intrigued with that little find.

First time finding the Orchid body serum and body lotion too.

As always, let me know thoughts on what you've tried 🫶

Please, hit me with your favorite cleansers from the tree! Or even better, any recommendations for what cleanser you think I may enjoy if my usual go to is the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (the green one). I am just about out of my latest bottle of my CeraVe, and while it doesn't break the bank, I have noticed it's been getting more expensive than it was in the past..either way, I'd love to find a cleanser for $1.25 that works for me!

I'm interested in the Orchid cleanser, the vanicream dupe, I have never actually tried the Vanicream one itself, but I see the orchid all the time and seems like a good gentle option. Let me know thoughts if you've used it.

I also often see what I think is an aveeno dupe, it's like an oatmeal cleanser, haven't looked at the ingredients on this one yet though.

My skin is combination, but more oily in my T-zone lately. Any recommendations are appreciated 🫶

Some new finds for me today! Sorry for my ramble and if you read it try not to imagine me screaming the product names at you 🤣 also, sorry the photos are out of order, idk why reddit keeps doing that when I upload..

I had never seen this REVIVE RX COPPER PEPTIDES line. I picked up the CELLULAR RENEWAL ELIXER and the FACE & NECK FIRMING CREAM, I love the little pump bottle the face & neck cream is in! There was also a cleanser and a cream face mask in this line.

Another new find for me is the SPA SCENTIALS GLOW GETTER BRIGHTENING SERUM STICK with vitamin C, not sure what to expect, but I'm hoping it's kinda like one of those balm sticks from medicube, Dr. Melaxin or prequel, but it also looks like it could be a dupe for the ROC vitamin C eye stick. If anyone's tried it, let me know!

Repurchased the SKIN NUTRITION BOTANICALS MULTI PEPTIDE SERUM..will never not repurchase this. Im a broken record here, but this serum would literally be a $70 serum at Sephora, I am not exaggerating, one of the best skincare products at dollar tree.

I was super excited to find this B.PURE FLY AWAY STYLING CREAM WAND! I was just saying I needed one and thought about trying the Kitsch one, but dollar tree came through!

The NATURAL SENSE ROSEMARY WATER is another first time purchase for me, im kinda dipping my toe into scalp health since my hair has gotten a bit thinner this year and sheds like crazy!

I went back for the 2 glosses from the Pink Cowgirl Collection! I had the 2 different turquoise eye shadow singles in my cart as well, but passed cause I have way too many eye shadows and palettes that just don't get used enough..

Some other items I almost purchased, but passed on..for now: VO5 Glossy Hair Serum and the Kokie lip oil..it had a huge doe foot which im a sucker for, but I have sooo many lip products right now. I also noticed my store has multiple shades in the kokie brow pencil now after I already purchased it in blonde :/ of course they have my shade now! Let me know if you've tried any of these or want any more info on anything 🤗

Spotted another TPH product at my store today, this was the only single bottle I could find in the entire store! I don't think it's right for me exactly, as I am already testing a different chemical exfoliant for my body, so I left it there for someone else 😊 hopefully the Dollar Tree deities land it with someone happy to find it! I did find some other things I'm so excited about..incoming haul soon!

u/alimweber — 17 days ago

It's my daughter's birthday, im running 100 errands and have to be at her school in an hour..BUT let me make time to show you these CUTE nails I just found at my store! 😅 I have completely switched over to press ons, I do all my sets at home now and I love me some $Tree nails..I'm absolutely obsessed with these sets. My store finally has the entire Ioni western/cowgirl collection out and I have been waiting for it! There was another set from the collection that had cheetah print and almost like bandana design and hearts on it..already regretting not grabbing those too.
