Beauty on a Budget: Fun Finds from Dollar Tree ✨

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

I recently did a little impulse shopping at Dollar Tree and found a few beauty goodies that were too fun not to share. Are they game-changers? Maybe not. But they’re definitely fun, functional, and surprisingly useful—all for $1.25 each. Here’s what made it into my basket

The Lip Exfoliator looks like a plastic tongue scraper, but it’s for your lips! Nubby surfaces on both sides help buff away dryness. It’s fun to try, but a textured washcloth works just as well.💄

This little makeup sponge holder is made of soft silicone and even has a suction cup base—perfect for sticking to your mirror or sink. It holds a Beautyblender or a dupe (mine’s a Dollar Tree dupe!) and keeps it clean and dry.

The Cuticle Oil Balm Stick is my favorite find of the bunch (with the makeup sponge holder coming in a close second). Super convenient—just swipe it on like lip balm. I like to apply it to all my fingers while waiting for the cuticle remover to soften my thumb cuticles. So handy!

Have you tried any of these? Or scored a Dollar Tree beauty gem that readers should know about? Drop it in the comments! 🛍️💬**

Check out the makeup brands that JCPenney carries

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

It’s been a crazy ol’ time as hubby and I are holed up at Comfort Inn, waiting to move into our apartment.

As hubby was shopping for clothes, I browsed JCPenney’s beauty department. As you know, Sephora used to be inside JCPenney stores, but now Sephora has a tie-up with Kohl’s.

JCPenney has now set up its own beauty department, and I couldn’t be happier. I like discovering new makeup brands, especially brands not carried by Sephora, Ulta, or CVS.

JCPenney carries these makeup brands:

  • Dose of Colors
  • Exa Beauty
  • Eyeko
  • Forever 21
  • Jason Wu Beauty
  • KimChi Chic Beauty
  • Lime Crime
  • Mineral Fusion
  • Mirabella 
  • Relevant 
  • Shades by Shan
  • Thirteen Lune
  • Velour Lashes

Visit your nearby JCPenney to check out the variety of beauty brands it carries. I visited my local JCPenney store at Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax, VA. Alternatively, browse JCPenney Beauty online.

Check out the Jason Wu Beauty eyeshadow palette in Matte Agave

There’s nothing I like more than a matte neutral (or nearly neutral) eyeshadow palette. My latest acquisition is the Flora 9 in Matte Agave eyeshadow palette comprising nine earthy shades from Jason Wu Beauty.

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

I subscribe to the Get The Gloss e-newsletter from the UK. Today’s e-newsletter featured an article on Zara’s new makeup line, which debuts May 12 (Wednesday!). Previously, Zara had launched a line matte lipsticks.

Zara’s makeup line was created in collaboration with UK makeup artist Diane Kendal. It features refillable packaging.

In its article Zara Makeup: What’s The New Beauty Collection Actually Like?, Get The Gloss shows press photos of the makeup. It admits that it hasn’t got its hands on the makeup collection: however, MUA Lisa Potter-Dixon gave a run-down on her Instagram feed and she’s super-excited:

#TBT @ItsMatin

Cold Cream 'n' Roses

I’ve interviewed movers and shakers in the beauty industry and by far, my absolute favorite interviewee was Matin.  He is my favorite because of his amazing life story and charitable activities (in fact, he was a 2007 finalist for CNN Heroes).

Here’s a video from Byrdie where Matin discusses his five must-have products:

My interview with Matin spanned three blog posts:

  1. Part 1
  2. Part 2
  3. Part 3

I hope that you’ll read all three parts and come away impressed by his candor and exuberance .

7-Eleven is the latest to throw its hat into the booming cosmetics category as the giant convenience store company seeks to capitalize on its huge foot traffic.

Actually, 7-Eleven entered into the beauty business before. It used to sell a cosmetics line that was geared to tweens. And I remember when 7-Eleven had a private label hosiery brand!
