Dollar Tree’s beauty section just got a major dupe refresh, and the new products are giving OGX, Glow Recipe, TRESemmé, and more, shoppers say. The discount retailer has been churning out viral dupes the past several months, including lipsticks and balms that rival Kylie Cosmetics, Laneige, Summer Fridays, and Glossier. And the best part is they only cost $1.25, which in most cases, is more than 50 percent cheaper than the name brand. Keep reading to see which name-brand alternatives you need to stock up on.
OGX Beauty makes some of the best shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatments in the game–especially, if you have textured locks or frequently color your hair (their purple conditioner is a miracle worker!). And now, Dollar Tree is selling dupes for OGX Beauty for less than $2 per bottle, which is basically 75 percent cheaper than at Target.
During a recent Dollar Tree shopping spree, TikToker @shopwithme_38 found dupes for OGX’s Argan Oil of Morocco, Brazilian Keratin Smooth, and Thick & Full Biotin & Collagen shampoos and conditioners. They’re from the brand Pro Silk Salon, and also come in a variety of formulas.
2. Dupe for Gisou Lip Oil
Gisou’s Hydrating Lip Oil is perfect for winter because its formula works overtime to hydrate, smooth, and moisturize your lips, which is a must with the windy and frigid weather we’ve been having. But for $28 a pop? You’re better off buying 28 dupes from Beauty Intuition at Dollar Tree for the same price.
3. Dupe for Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
For $58.75 less, you can snag Global Beauty Care’s Resurfacing & Exfoliating Enzyme Mask at Dollar Tree. It’s said to be a dupe for Peter Thomas Roth’s Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, a three-in-one face treatment that exfoliates, peels, and polishes skin.
4. Dupe for Glow Recipe Toner
According to TikToker @rachelxburrows, Global Beauty Care’s Cloudberry + CoQ10 Glowing Toner "has the same ingredients" as the viral toner from Glow Recipe. Dollar Tree’s version looks different aesthetically, but it’s $33.75 cheaper than the name brand.
PSA! Dollar Tree is selling dupes for EOS and you can score a mini three-pack for just $1.25. Each set comes with three flavors: Sweet Grapefruit, Fresh Lime, and Lemon Sorbet. On Amazon, a three-pack of EOS lip balms typically retails for $9.
In her review video, TikToker @paigeconstantino said the Beauty Intuition lip balms are "super glossy and hydrating."
"I feel like it’s a pretty medium consistency," she told followers, adding that each flavor smells "just like summer."
6. Dupes for TRESemmé Hair Care
Another newsworthy dupe at Dollar Tree is Spa Luxury’s line of hair care products, which are supposed to be a more affordable alternative for TRESemmé. TikToker @kashesmomma spotted dupes for TRESemmé’s Heat Tamer Spray, Freeze Hold Spray, and Styling Mousse.
As always, Dollar Tree’s dupes retail for $1.25 compared to TRESemmé, whose products go for upwards of $10 at Walmart and other big-box stores.

SHOCKING footage shows the moment a mass brawl broke out in a McDonald’s car park with delivery drivers trading blows.
The ugly scenes kicked off by a row of parked mopeds with boxes on the back outside the fast food restaurant.

The fight took place near motorbikesJam Press
The carnage took place at the McDonald’s on Green Lanes near Finsbury Park, north London, yesterday.
An onlooker filmed the melee in the car park packed with customer’s cars.
Footage showed a taller man in blue denim jeans and a black coat being chased by two smaller and younger rivals.
Shocked bystanders watched on in horror as three men swung at each other in public.
One took a swing at the taller man before the other landed a punch.
The man in jeans was then seen with his fists raised as he then tried to punch one of the other drivers.
A worker – in a shirt and tie – tried to intervene as did another rider in black motorcycle helmet.
But the fight ensued with one of the shorter men repeatedly swinging his helmet at the taller man as they squared off in the car park.
The video shows a man in an orange Just Eat coat and others watching on in shock and disbelief.
Some can be seen trying to talk the men down as others try and hold them back from each other.
However, two of the men continued to try and get at each other as bystanders pleaded with them to stop.
The brawl was eventually brought to an end after a few men managed to intervene and break it up.
Locals reacted with shock at the violence with one man calling those involved “mugs”.
Andy Short added: “Would never have a delivery.”
One – named Sam – said: “England is finished.”
Another called Steve joked: “Uber Beats.”
Wayne Libonati quipped: “No wonder my burgers are always stone cold.”
Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo all offer deliveries from McDonald’s.
It is unknown who the men involved work for.
The Met Police and McDonald’s have been approached for comment by The Sun.
The violent punch-up broke out after two drunken yobs confronted staff at the fast food branch on Argyle Street, Glasgow.

A BRAND new indoor soft play is set to open its doors in Southampton later this year, with a whole host of kid-friendly activities.
Already in several locations across Scotland, the Wonder World Group will open its first site in England in May.

Wonder World Soft Play Southampton will be located near Antelope Park in Thornhill.
Construction work has already begun to transform the site into a soft play area.
The new indoor soft play area will feature ‘volcano slides’ alongside interactive football pitches.
There will also be a role-play area, where kids can pretend to have adult jobs.
For younger children, there will also be a sensory area.
Food and drink will be available to purchase from an on-site cafe.
Further details, such as ticket prices and other activities, have yet to be announced.
Wonder World has several sites in Scotland, including six soft play and adventure parks, five AirThrill inflatable and trampoline arenas and one Electric Thrill Adventure Golf, Arcade and Dessert Diner.
The Managing Director of Wonder World, Narinder Baryah, said: “We are very excited to expand our Wonder World Soft play brand to the Southampton area.
“We expect the venue to not just bring joy and fun to families but to also offer employment opportunities to the people of Southampton.
“Wonder World is a family-owned organisation that strives to provide a fun and enjoyable setting to the local community and beyond.”
As many as 3.4 million ferry passengers transit through Southampton each year.
While most British holidaymakers pass through the maritime city without stopping, there are plenty of attractions to keep families entertained.
Open daily, it features incredible wooden constructions set in an ancient wilderness, within which little ones can explore by swinging, climbing and jumping their way through obstacles.
There are rope bridges, long slides and swings among the many playtime options, which cater to a range of ages and abilities.
One of playground highlights is the opportunity to ride in a miniature train, which usually operates Friday to Sunday or every day during Lincolnshire school holidays.
Tickets cost £2 for adults and £1.50 for children, all proceeds of which are channelled back into keeping the teeny rail service running.

JUSTIN Bieber has sparked concern afer rapping topless on a private jet as fans begged him to “get help”.
He rapped about “flying high” just two days after denying he has been using drugs.

InstagramJustin rapped about ‘flying high like a bad guy’[/caption]

GettyFans worried about Justin after seeing pictures of him with Hayley in New York[/caption]
The 30-year-old singer slowly swayed and slapped his leg while holding a bag of chips, with his eyes looking glazed.
Staring down at the camera, Justin said: “I fly high like a bad guy, I fly high like a magpie, I go high like a bad guy.”
A friend smoked a cigarette and danced around him.
One fan responded to Justin’s new video: “Poor Justin!!!! So talented but waisted! Justin wake up pls! Your son needs you!”
Another said: “This is not helping to end the drug allegations” while a third said: “Bro is not okay, please tell me that y’all can see this too”.
One more said: “Omg! I can just imagine what Hailey Bieber is going through, after giving birth, with a husband who is always floating in the clouds.”
Superstar Bieber denied he was using drugs just two days ago after fans claimed he looked fragile and his eyes were hollow.
Justin’s camp has been dismissive of health concerns, but over the weekend the singer was spotted looking gaunt on a night out with comedian Dave Chapelle in Hollywood.
According to his rep, however, he is focusing his energies on “actively parenting his newborn son”, six-month-old Jack Blues, and has been spending time in the studio working on new material.
In a statement to Rolling Stone, reps for both Justin and wife Hailey Bieber, called the public’s obsession over the singer’s mental and physical health “exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
The reps added that the last year was “very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
However, the statement has done nothing to assuage his fans.
Pictures of Justin looking gaunt and vacant continue to fuel rumours about his mental and physical health.
And Hailey wants to turn things around quickly.
A Hollywood insider told The Sun: “Hailey and Justin have taken a bellyful of negative scrutiny and she’s putting her foot down and saying it has to stop,.
“That said, it hasn’t stopped her and Justin’s friends from being worried about him, and their ongoing status as a couple.
“The consensus is you only have to look at Justin to know that something’s off, and the worry is that it seems to be getting worse.”
The US star, 28, has continued to work and modelled in a shoot for her make-up brand Rhode.
The Gorey man joined his local LOI side, then managed by James Keddy, from Bohemians for the 2023 season but did not enjoy his time there — which had him questioning whether to stay in the game.
Architecture graduate Levingston told SunSport: “Coming down from Bohs where we trained so often to training twice a week took a while to get used to.
“I struggled with fitness, picked up an early injury and never really got going.
“The manager didn’t want me back for the next season.
“Chances are I wouldn’t have went back, but that’s beside the point. It made my decision easier.”
There were approaches from the Irish League and First Division rivals while the midfielder had asked a few top-flight clubs about training with them to impress.
But at the back of his mind was the idea of taking a year out.
Levingston continued: “Ever since I was 14, I’d been involved in professional level sport between England and coming back to Bohs, that was 12 years of football, football, football.
“My girlfriend is a teacher as well so she has the summer off where, in football, we get the winter when she is working. I had to give her time as well.
“And I was also going into the final few months of my degree.
“We were in Rome after Christmas for a city break and it was on my mind. So I just said I’d take a break for a year.
“I was thinking, it’s only a year. I know I’m a good enough player that if I get fit and firing, I’d be able to come back.
“So I took the year out and set a few goals. I wanted to get the best possible degree I could, go travelling, get a job and run a few marathons.”
He got the degree, and a job at O’Mahony Pike Architects.
But before he started, he and his partner travelled to Thailand, Vietnam and Bali.
Levingston added: “It was an unbelievable experience.
“We were there two months and it felt like half of Ireland was there — the amount of my friends who have been over there in the last 12 months.”
MARATHON MOTIVATION
And he got his fitness fix by training for two marathons.
Levingston explained: “It was just to keep my mind occupied because it’s nearly impossible for a sports person to go from doing so much to doing nothing.
“I did the Lap of the Gap in Glendalough which is marketed as the toughest road race in Ireland. I don’t know how it didn’t put me off!
“Then when I got back from travelling, I did Dublin, which was brilliant.
“There were crowds lining the whole route. But I don’t think I’ll be getting the marathon shoes out again!”
By the time he ran Dublin, the itch to return to football had returned.
He said: “I remember going to watch Wexford in the FAI Cup semi-final against Drogheda. My brother Darragh was playing. It felt like a big game.
“When Stephen got the job, he had a few back in training in December so I joined them then until pre-season began when we got a deal sorted.”
With an understanding workplace — his boss is a Shelbourne fan — he was able to work up his hours and commit to training three nights a week.
A hamstring injury suffered in pre-season meant he missed the opening win over UCD though he is back running as Wexford look to start the season well.
He said: “We’ve a very young squad, my brother is one of the older players and he’s 22. I’m the second oldest at 27!
“But we’re looking to bring through academy players which was maybe not happening the last time I was here.
“We need to do it. You cannot be relying on bringing players from Dublin down where six good months and they’re moving on again.
“The players coming through are really impressive. There are six or seven in training and they’re not just making up the numbers.
“It’s an exciting group. So we’ll see how it goes.”
2 weeks agoNews 1Comments Off on Pregnant mum has lifted the lid on ALL the free stuff your bump can get you when expecting & it’ll save a fortune
PREGNANCY is a beautiful but also tiring time – but thankfully there are some perks you can get for free.
Elin Davies, who has 10,000 followers thanks to her mum tips, has shared a number of things you can get without paying a penny.
tiktok/@elindaviess2Elin Davies has shared her top tips for getting freebies when pregnant and in the months after[/caption]
tiktok/@elindaviess2One of the free items you can get nappies from Emma’s Diary[/caption]
On her @elindaviess2 account, she wrote: “If you are pregnant now or just had a baby, here are some things you can get (UK!)
“I found a lot of things useful when I was pregnant.”
Here is everything you can take advantage of…
Nappies
Nappies can be expensive, but there are ways of getting some without paying a penny.
Her first tip is to sign up to Emma’s Diary.
Elin explained: “There’s a pack of nappies in one of these and loads of useful information.
“You can get three free packs and you can collect in Boots or Argos.
“All you need to do is download the Emma’s diary app.”
Pampers
Another way to get free nappies – this time through Pampers – is to become a member of their site.
Elin shared that it is “free to join” and all you need to do is download the app and there are coupons and points.
Alternatively, she found a free pack of nappies from Aldi by using a voucher found on netmums.co.uk.
Cake
Elin shared how you can also treat yourself during your pregnancy by getting free cake.
She explained: “Marks and Spencer’s have a parenting club too!
“All you need is to be a Sparks member which is free to sign up!
GettyM&S does free cake on a Tuesday when you buy a hot drink[/caption]
“You then have access to fab rewards, one being every Tuesday in a M&S café they do a baby club, you get a free cake when you buy a hot drink!
“And time to socialise with other mums. They also have 10 per cent off baby grows!”
The M&S website states: “Join our weekly parent & baby mornings at M&S Cafes across the UK, and enjoy a free slice of cake, pastry or a fruit pot, every week when you buy a hot drink.”
Dentistry and prescriptions
GettyYou can get free dentistry during pregnancy and for 12 months after the birth[/caption]
Elin pointed out that you can get free dentist check ups both during your pregnancy and in the year after too.
She added: “And also free prescriptions in England.”
This has been backed up by the NHS website.
It reads: “You are entitled to free NHS dental treatment if, at the time you are accepted for your course of treatment, you are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months.
“To prove your entitlement, you can use a MatB1 certificate, valid maternity exemption certificate, notification of birth form, birth certificate or stillbirth certificate.
“To claim free NHS prescriptions, ask a healthcare professional, for example, a doctor, nurse, midwife or health visitor. They will help you make a paper or digital application.”
Boots gifts
tiktok/@elindaviess2Boots Parenting Club gets you extra points and an Aveeno product[/caption]
Elin also pointed mums in the direction of Boots’ Parenting Club, which can give you a free gift when you sign up.
The Boots Parenting Club gives you perks such as “8 points per £1 on baby products. free gifts at key stages of your baby’s development, expert parenting advice, Parenting Club offers via the Boots app.”
The website states: “Sign up to Boots Parenting Club to receive your selected Aveeno product.”
Amazon gift
Next, Elin recommended parents sign up for an Amazon baby wish list.
You can choose a free gift from a list of things when you spend £20 on qualifying purchases.
This could include a free nappy bin, baby bottles, a bath set or a bath toy.
She wrote: “This is also a good thing to do if people ask what you want them to get, you just send your wish list to them and they buy it.”
Child benefit
GettyYou may qualify for Child Benefit[/caption]
Elin pointed out that some people qualify for Child Benefit, which can be £24 a week.
She wrote: “Whether you are working or not working, you can claim this!
“Nobody really mentions this to you, so unless you do the research, there’s chances you’ll miss out on this!”
The Gov website states: “Only one person can get Child Benefit for a child.
“You normally qualify for Child Benefit if you’re responsible for a child under 16 and you live in the UK.”
Child Benefit is usually paid every four weeks on a Monday or Tuesday or paid weekly if you’re a single parent or getting certain other benefits, such as Universal Credit.
According to BBC: “If a household has one parent who earns just above £60,000, their child benefit will start to be reduced, and cut altogether once they earn more than £80,000.”
Can you park in a parent and child bay if you're pregnant?
WHILE many pregnant women use parent and child bays when shopping, the rules and regulations about doing so are actually pretty murky.
According to the RAC, while it’s not illegal to park in one of the bays if you don’t have a child under 12 with you, you could receive a parking fine – depending on who runs the car park.
If the car park is operated by an independent parking agency, you are more likely to receive a fine for parking there incorrectly.
However, back in 2019, Tesco confirmed via a spokesperson that: “Our bays can be used by pregnant women that require additional space.”
Sainsbury’s said that pregnant women are usually allowed to use the bays, but this should be arranged with individual stores.
Apparently, mums-to-be should inform staff and give them their registration number, which will then be passed onto parking attendants to ensure they don’t get a fine.
Expectant mothers should make themselves known to staff in the store, who will make note of the registration number – to be passed on to parking attendants who will then be aware of the situation.
