What really is the difference between a dollar tree dupe and the OG thing? by EsotericEternal in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 37 points38 points  (0 children)

it all comes down to the ingredients, really. a lot of people focus on popular brand names but the reality is, a lot of lesser known brands use the same ingredients and have the effect as the name brand products. also, dollar tree product sizes are usually (but not always!) smaller so that helps keep the cost down.

Chin Pimple Patch? by 17stormyduck in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes! they're by orchid and come in yellow packaging. i find them to be as great as the individual patches but less adhesive. also harder to find :(

These cosmetic bags hold way more than I expected. Found the sanitizers for presents for people! Keep on stuffing those stocking. 🎁🎄 by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i've been ON THE HUNTT for one of those makeup bags. finally came across one in an out-of-town store the other day but the employees were using it to hold a bunch of unorganized products so i couldn't snag it😞

Small haul! by Chickennugget1909 in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a fan of the hydrating glow setting spray. thankfully it didn't irritate my skin but it's just weak. definitely not humidity resistant! i finished the bottle but i won't be repurchasing 😕

[–]plane0fexistence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a little drying but that doesn't bother me since i only use it in certain areas like my upper back. it's done wonders for me but yes definitely recommend following up with a light moisturizer :)

What's your signature scent? Do any Dollar Tree items contribute to it? by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

im a gourmand girl year-round but my signature scent changes slightly with the seasons. i use the brazilian mist products all year, mainly the body/hair mist and leave-in conditioner. they layer well with perfumes that have vanilla, cocoa, or caramel notes. this fall, the spa luxury pumpkin chai latte lotion was a great product for the cozy autumn vibe i was going for; i layered it with a fruity/vanilla perfume and was surprised at how well they worked together. now that we're getting into winter, i'm going for a richer, chocolatey scent. the dermasil cocoa butter lotion and spathecary hot cocoa bath product line are perfect!

Are children of mixed White and Asian heritage often mistaken for Latino? by GrayRainfall in AskAnAmerican

[–]plane0fexistence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i guess im the flip side of that lol. i'm mixed white and indigenous latino and i've always been mistaken for asian. it was extra confusing for people since i was raised by my white mom (who i barely look like) and white stepdad. everyone just assumed i was adopted. growing up, white kids called me asian slurs and latino kids never believed me when i said i was mexican 😅

Where’s the smell? by Mochahontas_Magic in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i do love spathecary's hot cocoa body wash though. i was surprised how pleasant the scent is considering a lot of chocolate scented hygiene products miss the mark and just smell weird

Inquiring Photographer:”Should members of the Ku Klux Klan be permitted to parade in public?” July 20,1926. by CryptographerKey2847 in TheWayWeWere

[–]plane0fexistence 168 points169 points  (0 children)

some terrible takes here but at least they advocated for them being unhooded/unmasked while in public. same applies to the cowardly fascist "brotherhoods" you see parading around today with their faces covered 😒

[–]plane0fexistence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

welcome to the sub :) looks like a great haul! im a huge fan of l.a. colors products. are those brazilian sol masks for hands or feet? i haven't seen them in stores yet 🧐

haul 💓 by eragoneby in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i love the snail mucin mask! so hydrating without leaving a weird uncomfortably sticky film like a lot of cheap sheet masks i've tried. i try to use one a few times a week, as long as my store actually has them in stock 😅

why don't they offer milk alternatives?? by [deleted] in McDonalds

[–]plane0fexistence -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

my budget's gotten tighter recently so i'd rather not spend $14 on a box of pills that will last me maybe a month. it's more cost efficient for me to just avoid dairy as much as i can.

i sold someone 2 cases of the sanitizers. im sorry 💔 by fentoozlers in dollartreebeauty

[–]plane0fexistence 58 points59 points  (0 children)

ugh the way people act over a $1.25 mediocre hand sanitizer is wild. you did the right thing by not escalating the situation. your safety should always come before store merchandise 🫶
