Dollar Tree beauty haul

Ruth Anna

     Normally I'm not a huge fan of Dollar Tree makeup. It normally rubs off super quickly and irritates my skin. But for some reason this last month, Dollar Tree has had some pretty good stuff! It's mostly all still drugstore makeup, but it's on the higher end of drugstore makeup if you know what I mean.
     I don't think anything that I got today is from their usual brands, LA Colors and Sassy + Chic, except the makeup sponges, makeup wipes, and possibly the hand sanitizer. All the rest of it is from brands I hadn't seen at a Dollar Store before today.
     I went it to get the Milani gel powder eye shadow and a tray for cleaning makeup sponges. $2. I can out with one eye shadow, no tray because I forgot to look for it, and a bunch of other random junk. $13. That happens when I walk into a dollar store.
     None of this stuff is the best, I mean, it's dollar store, but a couple things I probably would go back to buy again.

Lotion and other

Travel Size Hand Sanitizer: 5 out of 10 stars. I like the texture, and it seems to do what it says it does, clean your hands. The big downside though it the smell. It doesn't have much of the three smells it's supposed to be, and it smells a lot like alcohol.
Price elsewhere: I don't know. It doesn't have a brand name, so this might just be at the Dollar Tree.

BODY RAVES passion fruit kiss hand and body lotion: 7 out of 10 stars. This has a really great smell, and it doesn't dry out my hands. It also dries quickly. Only downside is how liquid this stuff is. It can get all over the place.
Price elsewhere: $5 on Amazon

BODY RAVES violet lily hand and body lotion: 6 out of 10 stars. This stuff is pretty much the same as the other BODY RAVES lotion I got, but the smell isn't as strong, barely there at all.
Price elsewhere: $5 on Amazon


Hair

Restore + Condition Hot Oil Treatment- I haven't actually used this yet, so I don't know how it is! Let me know if you want me to tell you how I liked it after I try it.
Price elsewhere- $3 on EBay

Secret Color headband hair extensions: 8 out of 10 stars. I was really excited to find this at the Dollar Tree because I've wanted to try it, but I didn't feel like spending a ton of money on it. I really like it! It takes a bit to get used to, and you have to try many different ways before you make it work, but it looks wonderful, and you can use heated styling tools on it.
Price Elsewhere: The cheapest I could find it was $6 on Amazon, but I've always seen it at Walmart for $12.


Other

Make Up Remover Wipes: 10 out of 10 stars. You would think it would be really hard to find a bad make up remover, but it actually really is. This one takes off all of my makeup, and it doesn't make me break out. It also has 40 wipes, which is more that all the brand name wipes at the Dollar Tree.
Price elsewhere: This is only at the Dollar Tree.

Sassy + Chic Cosmetic Wedges: 9 out of 10 stars. I really like these. They mostly match up to the more expensive ones I've bought like Sally Girl and Ben Nye. These blend and apply really well. The only downside is they crumble if you use one too much.
Price elsewhere: $6.50 on Amazon


Makeup

ChapIce lip treatment petroleum in Rosy: 6 out of 10 stars. All this really is is cheap Vaseline. Not super memorable, but not bad. It comes in a cute tiny container and has a cool color.
Price elsewhere: $6.70 on Amazon

Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast: 10 out of 10 stars. I love this chapstick! It has an amazing smell, and it's super moisturizing. It's a SPF of 15l which is totally great. It also is a clear color, so I can wear it under other drying lipsticks and glosses without changing the color of the other product. I can't think of anything wrong with this, I would go back and buy this again for sure.
Price elsewhere: $1.70 at Walgreens

Wet and Wild eyeliner in Cool Green: 6 out of 10 stars. I got this eyeliner because even though it says that it's green, its more of a mint color, and I love mint lately. It was also only $0.50 because it came in a two pack with a brown eyeliner. It goes on pretty smoothly, but it has a metallic sheen to it which I don't really like. I'm more of a matte person.
Price elsewhere: $4 on Amazon

MILANI crystal lip gloss: 8 out of 10 stars. I got four of these. These glosses legit smell like Butterscotch. It's super amazing, I love it. Again though, I'm a matte person, and these are very shiny. They also have glitter, which makes them hard to wear. The pigment though is amazing, and I just can't get over the awesome butterscotch smell.
Price elsewhere: $6 on Amazon

MILANI Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow in Bella Cobalt: 7 out of 10 stars. The thing I went into the store for. I really like it. I would have wanted a darker or more neutral color, but the only thing left was blue. Shows you how many other people went in there for the same thing! The pigment is really nice, and it spreads well. A little glittery for my taste though.
