As some claim the U.S. economy is heading for a recession, it comes as no surprise that dumpster diving has risen in popularity. It’s always been said that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and nobody is more invested in dumpster diving than the people of TikTok.

In fact, there are 99,500 videos under the #dumpsterdiving hashtag, and creators like @GlamourDDive have built a whole platform based on the practice. With 2 million followers, @GlamourDDive has gone viral numerous times before, with some of her most memorable excursions including the CVS parking lot and Ulta.

In her latest video, which has amassed 3.6 million views, @GlamourDDive returned to Ulta in what she describes as her “craziest jackpot ever.”

What did she find?

When the camera swept across the trash bin, spectators were able to observe captivating packaged items and a "mystery box," which contained an extensive selection of labels such as Byoma, Thomas Roth, Hello Kitty, and La Roche Posay.

“I’m just gonna take the whole thing with me,” she said of the box. “It looks like it’s full. So I don’t think they really destroyed anything in here.”

Across from the trash bin, @GlamourDDive showcased two warm hair items—Bio Iconic and Chi Lava. However, the ultimate discovery was still ahead, as, after returning home, the maker learned the true contents of the enigmatic wrappings.

“I opened up the bag, and right on top, these are all Chanel blushes, and they’re brand new,” @GlamourDDive added, showing the various shades of pink and peach on camera.

“All of these little boxes are full of these Chanel liquid lips, and they’re brand new,” she continued. “And the rest of these boxes are full of Chanel concealers.”

She later clarified via on-screen text that the liquid lipsticks and concealers went for $48 each.

“I think you took an employee’s haul,” one commenter noted.

“As a Chanel employee, those lipsticks are new as in just came out within the last 2 weeks,” another claimed.

While a third posited, “Chanel provides their own testers so they don’t have to use sellable product and it looks like you found an entire tester bag.”
