April is OVER (wild), which means it’s time to dig through my little bag of empties and see what I actually used up this month. I swear nothing humbles me more than seeing what I actually finish versus what I swear I “use every day.”

But honestly, empties posts are my fave because they don’t lie. If I used it up, it either means it was amazing… or I was forcing myself to finish it so I could move on with my life. So let’s get into the Dollar Tree goodies, the surprises, the ride-or-dies, and the “girl no” moments.

🛒 Dollar Tree Stuff!

✨ Gel Grip Face Primer

This one is a maybe buy again. I liked it, it worked, it held my makeup on… but like… I know there are better primers out there. It’s supposed to be a dupe for the e.l.f. Power Grip, but let’s be real it’s not gripping anything the way e.l.f. does.

BUT if Dollar Tree had this and I was running low? Yeah, I’d grab it. It’s a “buy again if needed” girlie.

✨ Hydroglow Setting Spray

You guys KNOW my holy grail is the Wet n Wild setting spray. That’s my soulmate. My ride or die. My forever.

But everyone kept talking about this Dollar Tree one, so I grabbed it… and honestly? It’s cute. I did buy it again. It’s not an all‑day setting spray, but for $1.25, she does her job and she does it well enough for me.

✨ Mascara

OH. MY. GOD.
This mascara is EVERYTHING. Izzy put me on and now I’m on my second tube. It’s not clumpy, it stays on, it makes my lashes look so good, and it’s literally the best Dollar Tree find ever.

This is a HARD YES BUY AGAIN FOREVER.

✨ Calming Nighttime Face Serum

My beloved. My comfort item. My emotional support serum.

I buy this every single time I go. Does it actually do anything? Girl… I don’t know. But it makes my face soft, it smells nice, and the melatonin in it tricks my brain into thinking I’m getting sleepy skincare.

This is a ride or die. I will never stop buying it.

🚿 Non–Dollar Tree Stuff

✨ L’Oréal Paris Elvive Shampoo + Conditioner

I ran out of BOTH at the same time which felt like the universe was telling me to get my life together.

This set is a big buy again. My hair feels so soft and healthy, and I swear it’s starting to look alive again. I even bought the bigger bottles because I’m committed now.

Healthy hair era unlocked.

Okay byeee, love you, go drink water
