My Sephora cart was $400 so I went to DollarTree instead. My Sephora cart was $400, so I took $40 and what the Dollar Tree instead. I wax my own and my armpits at home. So I got some wax, some hard wax, and I've used these before. It's actually really, really good. I got some body oil because everyone is talking about shower oil, but these are $1.25 and I put these on while I am still wet, while I'm still in the shower. Next, I got some hand creams and I run through hand cream like crazy, and that's because I've been really working on my hands and they look so much better. But this is one of the best hand creams that I've ever gotten. This is supposed to be a replica of the Working Hands cream and honestly, it works just as well. I'm working on getting rid of my KP and strawberry legs for the summer. So I ended up getting this pre-shave foaming polish and it's supposed to help with all of that. I got me a hand sanitizer spray cause bitches don't be washing their hands, they dirty. This is one of my favorite body scrubs and I had to get two, you know, so this has hyaluronic acid in it and this is really good for just, like, making sure that you're staying moisturized and of course, like, getting rid of any trapped hairs. Got me some razors and I find that these, they have five blades on them. It gets me a really close shave. I finally got my hands on this lip balm that everyone's been talking about, and they said it's supposed to be like the Laneige, like sleeping lip mask. It's supposed to be really thick and I need that cause look, these lips is big. Big lips drink lip gloss. Next I got these little Vaseline. It's like a doop of the Vaseline in little jars, but I think these work just as well. Next we got some petrolatum, and this is supposed to be like the baby one, and it's fragrance free and it is hypoallergenic. But I use this on my hands and on my feet because, like I said, hands be rough as hell, and using, like, something really thick and occlusive really helps with getting rid of, like, the texture on my hands. So I also use this at night when I do my overnight hand mask. These are some of my favorite flossers. I do not play about flossing my teeth. The angle, it really gets, like, in there. It gets in there and it really helps with the reach, too. So which brings me to these mini toothbrushes. These are a lifesaver. And if I'm out all day, or like I said, I just ate something, I don't think that gum is enough. You need to actually brush them damn teeth and scrub that tongue. I got a portable first aid kit because I need to put this in my purse. My whole life is in there, so I actually needed this really, really bad. Swear to god, these are the best liners that I've ever used. Those other ones, like the big brand names, like always they mess up all the stuff going on down there. And I've heard a lot of people say that those other brands will give them bumps on the coochie. So these are my favourite because no irritation, none of that. And they're really, really absorbent. And it's so small and discreet. So I always have these in my purse too. Got some Kleenex on my purse cause you never know. And make sure you save this video for your next Dollar Tree run.
