While shopping at discount stores, you may find undiscovered treasures on the shelves, especially in the beauty section. Sometimes, they’re hidden in plain sight. A shopping enthusiast urges more than 87,000 viewers to run to their local Dollar Tree after revealing several name-brand beauty products at her store.
What did the content creator unearth at Dollar Tree?
Ohio-based TikToker Melissa Houser (@mhouser12) dedicates her account to sharing secret Dollar Tree finds.
“Sephora makeup is back in at the Dollar Tree. You’re gonna wanna run,” she whispers discreetly.
First, she unveils the Stilla lip gloss, with ‘Lipstick’ printed, dangling from a wall-mounted shelf. “The Stilla brand is back in. They got the lip glosses and the eyeshadows, and the matte lipsticks,” she says. “They’re gonna be in these packages.”
Next, she moves to JOAH Endless Lip Color on the same rack.
“These are brand new. I’ve never seen them before,” the content creator states.
When Houser spotted a four-pack makeup brush on the bottom rack, she gasped. “This is why you want to check the bottom shelves,” she explains. “They’re starting to get their makeup brushes back in.”
Afterward, she lifts a bottle of Clean Color Pro Prep & Prime spray. “This is new. The Clean Color brand is great,” she says.
Although this isn’t a makeup item, the bargain finder spots a two-piece lipstick holder in clear packaging. “You can put your favorite lip gloss on there. That’s kind of cool,” she remarks.
Then, Houser skims the beauty shelf, hunting for a specific product. Once she sees it, she grabs an Onyx Bathhouse Bath Gift Set from one of the bottom shelves.
“Do not sleep on this little bath set,” she advises. “These makeup clothes alone usually sell for ten or fifteen bucks.”
Hanging off a wall shelf is a 4-in-1 Perfector from Maybelline. “They got Maybelline in. I heard that this Perfecter is really good,” she says.
From there, she reveals Keep Growing makeup blenders, Daisy + Chic Makeup, and Brush Cleaner Bowl. Furthermore, she finds a small bottle of Monday shampoo, which she calls “a good brand,” Freeman Hydrating Body Scrub, a couple of Spathecary makeup wipes, Pop Sugar Bath Enhancers, and an Onyx Bathhouse Champagne Wishes Bubble Bath.
What did viewers think?
Many couldn’t believe Dollar Tree sold mainstream products.
“Omg Stilla at dollar tree is crazy,” one viewer commented.
“Maybeline at the dollar tree is crazy,” another echoed.
Moreover, others mourned that their local discount retailer didn’t stock these types of products.
“My Dollar Tree barely has toilet paper in stock,” one viewer remarked.
“Mine never has the good stuff,” a second stated.
“My dollar store has literally nothing! It is the absolute worst,” a third agreed.
Why does Dollar Tree sell name-brand beauty supplies?
According to Reader’s Digest, Dollar Tree purchases outdated and liquidated merchandise from other retailers. Instead of keeping them in the original packaging, the discount retailer sells the product under its own name. As a result, this tactic enables them to keep their prices low. Additionally, this is why you may discover brand-name items masquerading in plain sight. Because the discount chain frequently updates its inventory, these products may be even more difficult to find.
