10 Dollar Store Beauty Items I Always Buy

If there's one thing I want you to take away from this blog, it's that I do a high-low mix when it comes to beauty. There's something for every price point on here. For every $23 mascara, like this post, I have a drugstore option I love too. That being said, I love a good dollar store--you can find some useful stuff in there! Here are 10 dollar store beauty items I always buy:

Storage containers

• quick way to make a mini palette for a night out (think a bit of lipstick, a bit of concealer, etc)
• storage for samples
• storage for nail art supplies (like beads, decals, tape, etc)
• earrings storage for travel

Microfiber Pads

• cleansing face and removing eye makeup--just use water and then throw them in the wash to clean them

Flossers

• nail art design
• great to use for disinfecting makeup, like cutting off the top of a broken lipstick
• I use these in my beauty diy's when I'm leveling a surface, like in my lotion bars

Pink Zote Soap

• I use it to clean brushes and beauty blenders

Soap Savers

• Mini-mixing palettes, like if I'm mixing two foundations together
• I use the bumpy side to aid in cleaning brushes

Sunglasses Case

• I have more cheapo sunglasses than I do good ones, and the cheap ones usually don't come with a case, so these are always good to have
• Put a manicure set inside
• Holds brushes when traveling--I put my used eye brushes in mine
• Holds samples
• Holds nail art brushes and dotting tools

Pill Case, large

• I use these to hold my false lashes! Use makeup remover to clean off the glue and you can reuse your lashes.

Spray Bottle

• For various sprays for hair and body
• See 10 DIY Beauty Sprays for more ideas

Lip Balm

• I use plain lip balm for home and DIY uses
• See my 20 uses for lip balm

Interdental Brushes

• My hack for getting those lower lashes and for removing clumps
• See my 12 uses for interdental brushes

Things I usually skip:

• Brushes, unless it's an ELF brush. I use their concealer brush for cleaning up nails.
• I usually skip dollar store makeup, since a lot of it could be too old/have heat damage, etc. But sometimes I'll grab something.

And there are so many, many more!
