A MONEY-SAVVY beauty enthusiast has revealed the tool she bought from Dollar Tree that’s a dupe for a popular product.
She raved that it works just as well as pricer alternatives sold at beauty stores.

The woman shared her budget-friendly recommendations in response to a post on Reddit’s Drugstore MUA forum.
BUDGET BEAUTY
She gushed about paying just $1.25 at Dollar Tree for several items used in her makeup routine.
“The beauty blenders and the reusable make-up remover cloths are a must!” she said, writing under the handle Iridescentmelody.
“They both work so well and for a fraction of the cost of what you’d pay in a beauty store.”
Dollar Tree’s affordable Blending Sponges look strikingly similar to Beauty Blender’s Original Makeup Sponge sold for $20 at Sephora.
Almost 475,000 shoppers have liked the product which has been designed for applying complexion products such as foundation, BB cream, and powder.
One customer said in their review Beauty Blender gives a “flawless” finish, while another raved that it doesn’t soak up products.
The Redditor preferred her bargain dupe to the pricey buy and revealed it wasn’t the only Dollar Tree product she loves.

“I also buy dollar store q tips to keep with my makeup, since I use them to clean up smudges and go through them quickly,” she said.
“I also tried the LA girl eye shadow pallets that have 4 colors, and was surprised how buttery and smooth they were!
“I like to watch YouTube reviews for tips on what to buy.”
She added that the discount store is her go-to for finding “cute” hair accessories such as scrunchies, clips, and headbands.
COSMETICS CRAZE
Many people upvoted the post to show that they were grateful for the product recommendations.
A top commenter suggested going to Dollar Tree towards the end of the year to get the makeup sponges in varying sizes.
“I got a three-pack of beauty blenders of different sizes around Christmas time in a cute little package,” she said.
“The smallest one is absolutely perfect for blending color corrector/concealer under my eyes.
“Hopefully they have them again so I can stockpile them.”

The amazement over Dollar Tree comes after TikToker Victoria Sofia (@victoriasofia.m) was surprised to find dupes of expensive skincare products at the store.
She said it was “crazy” how similar B-Pure’s Revitalizing Moisturizer is to Olay Regenertist, which costs $27.40 at Target.
She also likened Dollar Tree’s mini lip oils to Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil priced at $20 each at Sephora.
Victoria recommended swapping haircare products such as shampoo and conditioner for bargain alternatives.
