Dollar Tree stuffs

 Here's some stuff I've seen at Dollar Tree lately 🤷

Real Techniques sponges and silicone foundation applicator and cushion brush thing. Charcoal toothbrush and toothpaste (no thanks).

FLOWER cosmetics!! 😃 but only nude colors

nail polish and lipstickd

.

Blueberry jelly eye gel, Oreo lip balm,

Summer Vibes lipgloss, eyeshadows, blush, bronzer

Cute little planters (sloth, frog, narwal, raccoon)

Look at this cute Xmas tree!

.

Jasmine rice, yum!

Lucky Leash is pretty cool but only for small dogs, like 30lbs or less. The less is built into the collar!

Sidenote: Blogger changed their interface and it's NOT user-friendly! I'm having a lot of trouble, it keeps deleting my pics as I'm trying to make this post, it's soooo frustrating 😠😠😠 I HATE IT

(review) Global Beauty Cucumber Gel Facemask

This mess is supposed to reduce puffiness. I only tried this one because I tried the others and felt like I had to. It was gooey and icky. 

before /after

I suggest you keep this gel mask in the fridge, because cool gel under eyes feels good- and you want this gel a little more solid so it doesn't drip down your face 😝

Even after I rinsed my face, it felt kinda sticky weird.

(review) Global Beauty Care GOLD gel face mask

I bought my *GOLD* facemask at Dollar Tree, but today I saw them at TJ Maxx for $4.99- isn't that crazy?!

This face mask is supposed to moisturize and help fine lines. It has vitamin e, vitamin c, sodium hyaluronate, pearl powder, and supposedly "gold"... I want to feel like *CLEOPATRA*!

This is a very transparent gel. My skin feels a little itchy.

My skin looks a little better afterwards, huh? Less red.

(review) Global Beauty Care CLAY gel face mask

Clay masks stop oil and prevent shine, I need that-

I got this mask at Dollar Tree, how excited are you?! 😀

It's very soft and applies easily.

Takes forever to dry, I left it on an hour... Ok 🤷

I tried it again a few days later... Umm...

less shiney forehead but my nose is more shiney

And a third time...

 my skin doesn't feel/look any better 🤷

I think maybe this is a little gimmicky, like most face masks.

Glycerin helps hydrate skin by attracting moisture &sealing it in. Clay helps reduce oily skin. Also contains: vitamins

a, c and e; sodium hyaluronate

It was $1 🤷 I shouldn't expect miracles 😀

(review) LA Colors Eye Marker

My new favorite liquid eyeliner!

Slim felt tip, smudge-proof marker from Dollar Tree:

<--slave dog lol

It goes on a little wet so apply carefully! But after it dried it was really bulletproof ♥️ "black" is a shiney patent leather black color.

I slept in it and it still looked almost perfect on Day 2, only the inner corners had melted away. I touched those spots up and continued wearing it into Day 3 😀 still amazing!

Sometimes I dont get a lot of time to sleep and shower and try to look pretty. I used makeup wipes around my face except my eyes- this eyeliner let me get up and go in the morning without stress or frustration.

It even survived running thru rain ♥️

(review) Revlon Color Charge loose powder eyeshadows

And the bad part is that they won't stick to your eye, you MUST WEAR AN EYESHADOW BASE! so  that the powder has something to stick to. Best method I found is to apply with a damp brush.

Ok, so let's review:

105 COPPER is super metallic, super sparkly!

106 FUCHSIA is a bright medium  pink

104 HOLOGRAPHIC is duochrome white/purple

 

I took these swatches indoors,without using primer:

I like that these jars came individually sealed, mess-free.

I got them at Dollar Tree.

I took these makeup photos outside. The eyeshadows were applied with a damp brush on top of primer. Fuchsia in crease, copper on outer lid, holographic on inner lid and on top of my black eyeliner (really purple!)

Fuchsia seems kinda matte or pearly sheen. It's not as exciting. I think maybe if I added some of this powder to clear lipgloss it might work really cute tho...

The white one isn't actually "holographic" that was a bad name for it- but it does have a duochrome feel 🙂 In sunlight it looks super lilac.

In the photos below I wore "holographic" on top of primer and applied with a dry brush which made it way less pigmented and more white (lilac sheen only in sunlight):
