WISH LIST WEDNESDAY #5 | DOLLAR TREE
If you're anything like me, you've probably made mental lists of all the awesome finds you've seen hauled at Dollar Tree in hopes that one sweet day you'll find them, too. I'm no different - except I actually make visuals to help me keep track and I update them every week as new sightings occur.
On each of the items, I listed the Instagram account of the person who found them. I also linked all the accounts in the caption so you can check out their other posts and follow them!

I wasn't able to find out anything more about the Klar and Danver body washes or the Fall-themed duct tapes, so I'll just leave those images there for now. If I find them, I'll be sure to review the body washes for you!
I have tried the hand soaps from this brand, and I did like the scent. The formula wasn't my favorite - it had the gelatin consistency that many of the cheapie brands have- but it lathered up just fine and the quantity for the price is pretty unbeatable.
So, I would likely pick up one of each scent to test before loading up on these body washes.
Next up is this Maybelline Pure Blush. I have actually seen this product at Dollar Tree in the past, and I know that the quality is pretty nice. The formula is soft and not too powdery, the pigmentation is pretty good, and it's nice and blendable.
Since this product is discontinued, I have no way to compare the Dollar Tree price to a regular retail price. I will say, however, that these are still popping up from time to time on eBay, where they sell for $7-12 apiece.
The reviewers over at Makeup Alley are giving this product a general thumbs-up, with the major cons being oxidation, staying power, and
packaging (many referenced an included brush, which the ones I saw did not have... hmmm.)

However, there were 3 or so negative reviews, a handful of average reviews, and the rest were glowing. I'll still plan to pick up as many of these as I can get my hands on.
Next up: two elf products!
The HD blush starting hitting the shelves at Dollar Tree last week. This week, a powder blush from the Studio line was spotted.
There are currently a lot of these shades still available for sale (retail: $3) on the eyeslipsface website, and the reviews, again, are overwhelmingly positive. The major cons appear to be pigmentation, shade compatibility issues, and shimmer.
elf Glossy Glosses are also popping up at Dollar Tree, although I'm not sure how many shades have been found.
There are currently four shades being offered for sale on the elf website, and their normal sale price is $3.
There are major complaints ranging from lack of pigmentation to packaging problems to taste, color fidelity, and stickiness. I would suggest starting with one shade, since the reviews are truly all over the place with this product.
Check out my YouTube video for a list of colors currently being offered as well and positive and negative reviews on both elf items.
Jelly Belly flavoring syrups are also being sold at Dollar Tree. I believe these are meant to be used for snow cones, which means they are likely super concentrated and absolutely chock full of sugar.
Still, I'd at least like to take a look at the nutritional information to see if I can bear to use these. If they're not overly sugary, I'd like to try a few of these as flavorings for my cheesecakes.
Lastly, more flavors of the Campbell's Soups for Easy Cooking have been making their appearance. I have purchased one or two flavors, and would like to try others.
These can be used alone, but are marketed as starters for other dishes (recipes are included on the boxes and on the Campbell's website). Check out my YouTube video to view the nutritional information for each of these.
Thanks for reading! Please comment below to share what's on your wishlist. :)
