A BEAUTY lover's perseverance paid off after ages of scouring Dollar for some skincare steals. It wasn't easy, but the bargain hunter didn't give up on her quest to find the dupes of her dreams. In a now-viral video, TikToker Katie Lawson (@klblog), gave viewers a glimpse into her successful shopping outing. It took a few tries, but rather than leaving empty-handed, her cart was filled with three products this time.
"This is actually insane," she said. Lawson was in disbelief that she had found the trifecta of Glow Recipe dupes for $1.25 each. Her frugal finds included a B-Pure Glow Up Night Moisturizer, as well as the brand's Glow Up Toner, and even a Glow Up Serum.
The wait seemed to pay off as the dupes saved her over $100 in total. A Glow Recipe moisturizer costs $40, a toner costs $35, and a selection of serums, including the Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum and Guava Vitamin C Serum, costs $45 each. She knew that the skincare finding struggle was real after a viewer wrote that she had been looking for these exact dupes "for months."
"Same! Just now found them, don’t give up," she replied. And she wasn't the only one getting lucky at her local store.
"I bought a bunch yesterday and some B-pure Olay dupes," one watcher said.
"Yes, love that, I saw the Eos shave cream dupes today!" she responded.
In another video, she scored an oil-free acne wash from Kissable, which she declared was a dupe for the Neutrogena Acne Wash. She paid just $1.25 for the cleanser that typically sells for $9.49. She knew that Dollar Tree is also a one-stop savvy shop for soda pop face masks, brow gels, hand lotions, lip balms, and cream blush sticks.
Finding More Dupes at Dollar Tree
On yet another outing, she shared a video in which she stocked up on more Olay dupes, including a cream cleanser hydrating moisturizer, and nighttime cream.
“They had the cream cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and then the nighttime cream, which I know a lot of people use,” she said. Target sells a range of the brand's Olay’s night cream for $15 to $35. She also added some dupes of Cetaphil, Vaseline, and eye patches to her bargain basket.
Yet another shopping trip proved fruitful for her, too, with Beautyblender dupes that look like lemons and peaches. She also scored Kissable Oil-Free Acne Wash, a dupe for the $18 Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Moisturizer Extra Dry Skin.
Dollar Tree Skincare Line For the Budget-Conscious
A SAVVY skincare fan has shared the Dollar Tree skincare line she swears by. Though she splurges on high-quality retinol products, she explained that a $1.25 line balanced out the rest of her routine. Redditor DonnaFinNoble shared the skincare tips in a post.
"I use, and really like, the collagen line that Global Beauty Care put out," she said. While the line doesn't contain sunscreen, she raved about the line's quality and overall value. The line, which contains a facial cleanser, skin cream, eye cream, and serum, can be found at Dollar Tree stores.
The cleanser, in particular, was a stand-out for her.
"The face wash is very thick, so even though the tubes are small, a little bit goes a long way," she said. "That’s in the blue packaging." The skincare fan added that she's able to regularly get deals on the line.
"They get some nice closeouts as well if you’re willing to change it up from time to time," she said.
"I'm willing to change up my night moisturizer, so if they have a name brand, I buy it and use it. I’m currently using a 'men’s' moisturizer right now. It’s nice and thick but not greasy." She explained that the core of her skincare routine consists on a few splurges and Global Beauty Care collagen staples.
"I spend my money on a high-quality retinol (I’m old) and then happily use less expensive serums, toners, and moisturizers," she said.
"I do want to say that the Bolero items I’ve bought and used are nice, but I’ve only tried the lotion and body oil (soooo nice) and calming toner with aloe and rose."
Others, like Redditor Historical-Gap-7084, agreed that the line gave them more than enough bang for their buck.
She explained that she was impressed with Global Beauty Care's collagen skin cream, facial serum, and eye cream.
"I use all of these in the mornings and the eye lift cream at night combined with the night cream mentioned above,” she said.
She added that the line contained an impressive list of anti-aging ingredients.
"The facial serum contains collagen, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and squaline, as do the face and eye cream," she said. Not only that, but she raved about the skincare line's cosmetic elegance.
“They feel good on my skin, albeit slightly oily, so I don't use much, and sometimes I don't use all three in one day," she said.
Back-to-School Care Packages on a Budget
A BEAUTY fan has revealed how she made care packages for her teenage daughter's return to school without breaking the bank. The travel bags were packed with back-to-school must-haves, including Dollar Tree dupes for higher-end products. Samantha Anchia (@bossbabexoxo) shared the money-saving finds in a TikTok video.
"Let's make some teen girl back-to-school care packages with this summer's viral finds," she said. She filled pouches she found from Dollar Tree with affordable skincare and beauty finds.
In the first care package, she put in Power Stick Brazilian Mist, a dupe for Sol de Janeiro's $38 Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 Bum Bum Hair & Body Fragrance Mist. She threw in a packet of Global Beauty Care's Purifying Daily Cleansing Wipes to cleanse the skin. For unexpected acne and skin irritation, the B-Pure Blemish Patches would come in handy.
She also grabbed a bottle of B-Pure's Hydrating Hand Sanitizer, a dupe for Touchland's $10 Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Spray. Other affordable beauty finds included Salt Range's Himalayan Pink Salt Lip Balm and Udderly's Smooth Hand and Body Cream.
Her second care package contained B-Pure's Feminine Wipes for feminine care emergencies. To relieve menstrual concerns and pain, she added ValuRx's Pain Relief Complete pills and B-pure Regular Pads. She threw in Power Stick's Aluminum-Free Lavender Vanilla deodorant, Oral-B floss picks, and a mini toothbrush and toothpaste set to keep odor at bay. For moisture, she opted for an L.A. Colors lip balm.
Samantha topped off the care package with B-Pure's Hydrating Hand Sanitizer and a flower hair clip. Her finished pouches were teeming to the brim with useful and handy goodies. Best of all, she was able to find everything in the two care packages for $1.25 apiece at Dollar Tree.
Viewers were impressed with her thoughtful and useful gifts for her daughter.
"That second bag holds so much!" wrote one commenter.
"These pouches are so cute. I have these same ones," said another.
"Beautifully done," added a third. One fan wished they could find similar products at their local Dollar Tree, saying it's "always a disaster and stuff is opened."
"Girl, I gotta dig at times," Samantha replied.
