My Dollar Days are Through

Well I think its time I put the dollar store experiment to rest.  The last of my Hunt consisted of personal products.  And I have been using them for the last couple weeks. And you might be surprised to find, I found one that's a keeper!



Ok, Where do I even start...I guess I really don't need to drag this out so I'll do this as easy and quickly as possible.  Nail polish remover, works like normal.  I hated the eye liner, which is funny because it was an actual brand name.  The q-tip/cotton ball package.. pretty awful.. The q tips bend if you look at them funny.  And the container was broke--I should of looked closer when I bought it, but I'm not that heart broken.  I mostly though this would be nice to have on my makeup table... oh well..

Now as for the razors--Yikes..  It was like playing Russian roulette every time I took a stroke, even with the shave cream.  The shave cream, if you normally use it, was good i thought.  But the razor I usually use has the gel around the blades.  I think your money is better spent on a pricey razor, rather than saving 10$.

Now, the lip gloss I bought was ok.  Pretty run of the mill.  I wouldn't write home about it, but it was ok.  The blush-- pretty good actually.  For everyday use-  I'd wear it.  Why not. The price was right.  HOWEVER-  The mascara.. If you ever take anything I say seriously, its this.  Worked like a dream.  It separated nicely and made them look thick.  I have used so many different brands, from drug store to department.  It was so great.  Loved it.  Seriously, try it.  Then let me know...

Now the thing I got the most flack for?  Shampoo.  I bought one that said it had a Moroccan oil it.  Now, weather it really did or not, I'll never know.  My hair felt clean.  Geoff said it stunk.  I liked the smell personally(not really sure what that says about me, to tell ya the truth).  But I wouldn't waste my monies on it again.  The ridicule alone was too much. Haha.  And my hair is it "tatty"(Props to Ginny) enough to put something that may work against me in that nest.   Don't worry friends.  I will not be buying my hair care there!

Anyways, IN SUMMARY,  The dollar has some good stuff.  It can be a scavenger hunt to find.  And what there one week can be gone the next.  But the potential to save your family money is there.  Check there first.  If your broke but need another option, go there next. 

And that's enough about that...
