Sol de Janeiro is all the rage right now in the beauty world, but its price point can be tough on the wallet. That’s why Dollar Tree shoppers like @mainstmuse are stocking up on Power Stick’s Brazilian Mist, which has a scent reminiscent of Sol de Janeiro’s Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist.
“This is a rebuy for me. The scent doesn’t last too long, but it does smell delicious. Just throw it in your purse and reapply it,” she raved in a recent haul video.
Rebuy: Reusable Beauty Sponges

Did you know makeup sponges and blenders should be replaced every few months? Dollar Tree sells three packs of reusable beauty sponges for $1.25. They come in their own storage and/or travel case, and they earned a spot on @mainstmuse’s rebuy list.
“They apply my makeup really nicely,” she told followers.
Rebuy: XtraCare Non-Medical Vapor Stick

Vick’s VapoRub is a drugstore staple, but @mainstmuse found a dupe for $1.25 at Dollar Tree that works just as well.
”I use this all over my neck and shoulders when I have a headache or when my shoulders just hurt,” she shared, referencing XtraCare’s Non-Medical Vapor Stick. “I love this stuff!”
Skip: (Some) Personal Care Body Wash

Dollar Tree shoppers have dubbed Personal Care the official dupe for Native, a body-care company known for its non-toxic formulas. While Native’s body wash scents tend to be more basic, Personal Care sells scents ranging from peach ring to jelly bean.
However, for @mainstmuse, peach ring “is a bye-bye,” but she would repurchase the coconut vanilla scent.
Skip: Spa Luxury Super Smooth Shave Cream

As for other Dollar Tree products @mainstmuse would skip, Spa Luxury’s Super Smooth Shave Cream is at the top of her list.
“This luxury shave cream is an absolute bye-bye for me,” she told followers. “I do not like the texture of this [because] it feels like [you’re applying] lotion” in the shower, she explained. “It’s a no-go.”
Skip: Lucky Super Soft Tea Tree Oil Foot Spray

There are a few ways to cure stinky feet such as frequently changing your socks, washing your sneakers, and using foot deodorant. However, one brand of foot spray you may want to stay away from is Lucky Super Soft.
According to @mainstmuse, the retailer’s Tea Tree Oil Foot Spray “did not do much” to deodorize her feet. “I would not buy this again,” she said.
Skip: B Pure Collagen Body Wash

It’s no secret that Dollar Tree is home to some of the best beauty and skincare dupes out there. On TikTok, shoppers are always comparing B Pure’s cleansers and moisturizers to Olay’s products, especially in terms of packaging.
However, when it comes to the B Pure Collagen Body Wash, that’s where @mainstmuse draws the line.
”I do not like the formula, and I do not love the scent,” she said of the product, which is a dupe for Olay’s Cleansing & Firming Body Wash with Vitamin B3 and Collagen. “It does nothing for me,” she added.
