**Haul from Dollar Tree: A Surprising Find**
As I walked into the Dollar Tree store, I was on the lookout for some unique items to add to my collection. I had been to several stores already and was starting to think that this one would be another repeat. However, as I made my way through the aisles, I stumbled upon a small section of picture frames that caught my eye. The frames were actually picture frames with little kickstands in the back, making them perfect for displaying small photos or mementos.
I couldn't help but notice how adorable they looked, especially the little cat design on one of the frames. As someone who loves journaling and scrapbooking, I thought to myself, "These would be perfect for my junk journal!" The frames were made of a natural beigey color that complemented the black frame perfectly, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. I was so excited about these finds that I decided to end this haul with some lipstick swatching.
**Lipstick Swatching**
I had been searching for a specific lip gloss at Dollar Tree, but it seemed like it was nowhere to be found. Instead, I discovered two new lip glosses from the "CH" and "BP or B" lines. The first one was in the color Cheerful Red, which I fell in love with instantly. It's a beautiful shade that would complement any outfit, and I couldn't wait to swatch it on my lips.
However, when I went to apply the gloss, I realized that it was extremely sticky. While this might be a plus for some, I prefer a lip gloss that feels like buttery silk on my lips. Unfortunately, the Cheerful Red gloss didn't quite deliver in terms of pigmentation, but I did notice that it had hyaluronic acid, which is great for hydrating lips.
Next, I swatched the Coral Crush gloss, which was also from the "BP or B" line. This one was a beautiful hot pink color that looked stunning on my camera screen. The texture was smooth and buttery, just like I prefer in a lip gloss. However, it didn't have any scent to it, which is always a plus for me.
**New Finds**
As I continued browsing the aisles, I stumbled upon two new products from the "be pure" or B line: Garnet and Fire Quartz lip glosses with hyaluronic acid. The first one was in the color Garnet, but when I swatched it, I realized that it wasn't quite as vibrant as I had expected. It had a slightly sticky texture, but again, not enough pigment to make it stand out on its own.
The Fire Quartz gloss, on the other hand, was a beautiful shade of pinky-red that looked stunning in the light. However, it didn't have any scent and felt quite cheap when applied to my lips. Despite this, I did notice that it had great hydrating properties and would make a lovely finishing gloss over a lip color.
**Taste Test**
As I continued shopping at Dollar Tree, I decided to stop by their makeup section for a quick taste test of some new products. I picked up the "90s bubble gum" flavored lip balm, which looked like an old-fashioned lipstick tube. To my surprise, it tasted just like bubblegum - not bad at all! However, when I applied it to my lips, I realized that it didn't provide much moisture or protection.
Overall, I was pleased with the taste test results, but I did find the product lacking in terms of texture and performance. Nevertheless, it's always great to try new flavors and products, especially for a low price point like $0.25.
**Haul Wrap-Up**
As I left the Dollar Tree store, I couldn't help but feel surprised by what I had found. Despite my initial doubts, I managed to snag some unique picture frames, lipstick glosses, and a tasty lip balm. While not everything was a hit with me, I'm always excited to discover new products and brands at affordable prices.
Before wrapping up this haul, I wanted to mention that all of these products were cruelty-free and paraben-free, which is a big plus for me as someone who cares about animal welfare and skin health. If you're looking for some fun and unique items at Dollar Tree, I highly recommend checking out their makeup section - you never know what hidden gems you might find!
