Usually I do more on a roadtrip, but this time I only got to hit 3.

Hunting Successes:

I'm so glad I finally found the mattifying primer! I've been looking for literal months.

Duru bar soap. I will but at least two bars every time I see it until I never see it again. I love this stuff.

I just saw someone else post the butter balms this morning and was hoping I'd find them, and all three shades weres at the only one I stopped at today! I didn't get the pink cause pink doesn't work with my skin tone (or aesthetic), but nabbed the other two. I have so many lippies, I have to stop but I love them all.

Ramen topper is freaking awesome. A little cabbage heavy, so I usually get rid of some of that, but a really great way to make those ice soup weeks better.

Not Hunted, But Excited to Find:

All the tooth stuff! I actively had to stop myself from getting the tooth serum and the purple strip cause I anyway have so much tooth stuff. But it's actually been whitening my teeth, so I'm really excited to try some more messes things.

Blueberry vitamin C treat serum. Vitamin C in a non-clear container from the Dollar Tree! At long last!

Brazilian Sol scrub. I don't like the body butter, but I'm weak for a scrub.

Night cap and Veggie Gel nail goop. I've been seeing them for about two months and finally broke. At least they actually have different ingredients, unlike the last batch in this packaging

I was super excited to see the little screwdriver. A lot of smaller electronics use PH0 and PH00 screws, so this will be great to toss in my camping gear

I've finally broken down and joined the hanitizer case cult cause I'm sick of the space they take up in my bag.

Mocha Mousse deodorant. I normally use Native, but they changed their formulation last year and now I'm on the hunt for a replacement.

Just Stocking Up:

Almost everything else. Obviously a fan of all that, since it's all repeat buys.

Cat Tax:

On the last page! He waited patiently to be able to bulldoze the whole shebang.

I took the pictures three days ago, but then life happened lol

Almost everything is Dollar Tree. The only things that aren't us the Costco contact lens solution and the Sally Beauty/Generic Brand tea tree conditioner.

Anything with a plurality of empties is obviously well loved. Details can be given, but as a general statement, that's good shit.

Singles that will have friends joining them in the future:

AHA peach lip scrub. I love it and already bought 5 back ups. It's just scrubby enough while being moisturizing at the same time. And tastes good when you accidentally rub it into your mouth!

Evo mouthwash. I've been using it with the toothpaste as be have seen some noticeable whitening. Already in my 2nd bottle.

Strawberry facial scrub. I know I'm the odd man out on this guy, but this loves my face and the feeling is mutual. The grit can be aggressive at first, but it calms down in about 4-5 passes since it's sugar and breaks down quick. Then it goes from exfoliating to just a lovely polish. I use this at least 2 times a week.

Vitamin C cleansing balm. Perfection. Gentle, but leaves my skin so clean and soft. I only have 2 in reserve and need to get more.

Rosemary biotin water. Actually my 2nd empty of the month but I wanted the spray bottle for something else. Leaves my hair lovely and manageable and has helped start to deal with my front end thinning as I navigate my 40s.

Balancing toner spray. Haven't seen many big fans of this, but I love it and not just for the spray bottle. This has made it into daily use for me. It leaves my skin with a very supple texture.

Prickly pear pre-shampoo. Really helps my ends feel smooth and manageable after washing. I need a trim before I can make any statements about its ability to prevent split ends.

Period panties. Surprisingly non-diaperish for how diaperly they look.

Mid-tier that I didn't mind, will probably use again, but won't get insanely enthusiastic about:

Rice water face wash. It's good, doesn't upset my skin, but doesn't do anything special. I'll use it again as a basic, gentle cleanser.

Blemish control face wash. I don't feel like it really helped control any breakouts. Don't hate, but very neutral opinion. Won't buy again.

Vanilla creme pre-shave scrub. I just use this as a body scrub. Leaves my skin soft and smooth feeling. I have 2 back up bottles I'll use, but won't stock up further.

ReviveRX toner pads. Nice when I busy want to wipe down my face, but get aggressive with my barrier if I use them too much. I've for about 3 in reserve that I'll work my way through, brutal won't build stock or restock.

Rose whipped body scrub. Worked good. Just a basic scrub. Nothing special, nothing bad. Rose scent was a bit artificial, but otherwise fine. Might buy again if I run short on other scrubs.

Bamboo fiber hair mask. Pretty good. Better than conditioner but not quite to hair mask level for my hair. I'll but and use again when I need something in the middle ground like that.

Laundry stink beads. Using these in laundry gives me a rash. All of them, but just this brand and flavor. But I love to put them in mesh bags to hand up in closets as air fresheners.

Didn't like, won't even look at again.

Vitamin C body mask. It stung. Like, a lot. I would skip exfoliating to see if that helped and it still hurt. Bad time, would not recommend.

If you want to know about anything I didn't mention, ask and I'll tell you what I can!

Also, yes, nail clippers count as empties. With how often I lose them and how often my wife damages them, they are disposable in our house.

I just found these today and there was only one pack, otherwise I'd be going back to buy them out. I'm already covered in bites, so I popped one on a bite that I'd already scratched raw. I'm actively agitating it right now to try and make it itch and this little butterfly on my leg is winning the fight.

​

I hate that these are so good in not even gonna hesitate to buy the more expensive versions I'd I can't find more from DT. 12 is not going to last me a week, let alone a summer. 😭

I know that's a lot of mini razors, but this is the culmination of multiple stores and never taking more than a third or so of the shelf inventory. And my wife is stockpiling for the day she never sees them again because they are her absolute favorite razor and the only thing she uses anymore. Just wanted to say something about my hoarding cause I would feel uncouth otherwise.

Now that that's out of the way: I finally found the Super Greens set!!! I've been looking for it since the last time it came around and it finally happened! I'm so excited to try them and the overnight collagen mask!

I'm also excited about the cooling foot lotion, especially to cool off during camping season this year. I haven't done a trial run with it yet, but the second ingredient is menthol, so it doesn't seem to be playing around.

I'm such a whore for an evil eye and the fact that my wife found the only one in a dozen stores (and even then it had been discarded on top of an endcap sidecar) and gave it to me makes it absolutely perfect!

The rose lip balm tubs, lavender lemon lip mask, LA Colors festival glitter, and ioni sparkle primer are all y'alls fault. Reviews from this sub made me clock these and decide to try them, so it they suck, it's my fault for being impressionable.

All in all, the DT gods have been kind to me the past few weeks.

For those interested, the last page is partiality color coded into the categories of:

Bought it, loved it, bought even more (Teal)

New and haven't used, but excited to (Purple)

Bought based on sub recommendations (Yellow)

Y'all! Y'all! Why aren't we screaming about these like the Brazilian Sol body butter? These are freaking insane!

I've had blackhead clogged pores on my nose since puberty and one of these almost completely cleared it out! I've had these bastards for almost 30 years and tried so many things to get rid of them. Biore stripes, targeted blackhead creams, washes, and stuff I can't even remember, and none of them worked. Then this little thing comes around and they're gone overnight!

If you see these and have that nose-top garden of blackheads that you've never been able to harvest, I can't implore you enough to try these.

I found these in the Mokena Illinois Dollar Tree while road tripping yesterday. They aren't my style, so I didn't purchase any myself, but for those who enjoy this style and/or brand, keep your eyes peeled.
