A BARGAIN hunter has revealed the secret to getting products from big beauty brands at a discounted price.
She found a selection of enviable makeup items while browsing the shelves at Dollar Tree .
Kristen went viral on TikTok when she revealed how to spot name-brand makeup at Dollar Tree TikTok/kristencaaakes Kristen said she would’ve tried the Covergirl foundation if they had her shade TikTok/kristencaaakes
Kristen Milroy ( @kristencaaakes ) has over 100,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares fashion and beauty inspiration.
BAGGING A BARGAIN
She went viral on the social media app when she shared a recent shopping trip in Indiana.
“A new week means new things at Dollar Tree,” she said.
“Also I went a whole town over for you guys.
“We’re going to what I would consider a bigger Dollar Tree to see the newness they have for the week and maybe the oldness that my Dollar Tree didn’t have.”
MANI MAGIC
Walking through the beauty aisle, Kristen revealed that there’s a key feature that she keeps an eye out for.
“We found holographic packaging,” she said.
“Why do we look at that, because it means name brands.”
She showed a rack full of Sally Hansen nail polishes in metallic pink packaging.
Having spotted a “pretty” gold nail color for $1.25, she threw it into her basket before continuing to shop.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color costs around $5.99 at other stores, such as Target.
SUCH A STEAL
Her excitement at finding more well-known makeup brands was halted when she realized they didn’t have her shade in the foundations.
She spotted Revlon and Covergirl, though neither was available in her shade.
“I just love seeing these name brands,” she said.
COVERGIRL truBlend Liquid Foundation costs up to $9 on Amazon.
Kristen showed that Dollar Tree also had a large number of branded lipsticks.

OTHER GOODIES
“Guys, they have the viral freaking beauty puffs,” Kristen said, picking up another product.
“I love these to set under my eyes and I’ve not found them at any other Dollar Tree, so excited.”
She recommended press on nails for beauty enthusiasts “on a budget” as she raved about the variety of products.
She then picked up face masks, false eyelashes, and a bath bomb and emphasized that everything costs just $1.25 each.
COSMETIC CRAZE
Over 2,000 people liked the video and many viewers took to the comment section confessing they were unaware of how to spot big brands.
“Wait, I didn’t know the holographic bag thing!!!” one person said.
“OMG, my Dollar Tre sucks!! I wish mine looked like yours,” another commented.
“I love that Revlon foundation! I thought they stopped selling it so if I see it at DT [Dollar Tree] I’m definitely getting it,” another wrote.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color costs more than double the $1.25 price in other stores TikTok/kristencaaakes
