 
 
hi friends I'm Sarah also known as
budget girl and I'm here today with my
boyfriend also known as a budget girl
No, you're Jacob
today we are testing out some of dollar
trees and new beauty line products I
thought it would be more fun to get a
man's perspective along with my own I
know the Dollar Tree is always trying to
kind of dupe the expensive items and
they're always trying to up their game
which I have mad respect for but we all
know sometimes it kind of misses the
mark and it's not worth a dollar so we
are testing out seven items today that I
bought very recently in dollar store and
are available their anemone see what we
think by the way if you don't know me
I'm Sara also known as budget girl here
on the Internet and I make videos every
single week on how to manage your money
pay off debt and live the life of your
dreams on less body polish do you know
what that is I guess like you shine up
your scanners over okay
so we're gonna go through these seven
things do you recognize any of these
items
well bath bomb yeah razors this is what
like a hair mask yes have you ever done
a hair mask I don't think I have enough
hair for air mask we were gonna we're
gonna test that out and that's for like
calluses this is for a couple years ago
when like the whole glitter like the
shiny Beatle looking eye shadow was
popular that's what this is okay so the
first thing we're going to try is this
gold gel face mask I believe this is
supposed to be a dupe for that 24 karat
gold face mask that was popular a little
while ago on the internet I guarantee
you this has no actual gold in it it's
probably just coloring but we're gonna
try it out now Jacob has done face masks
with me before but I'm not sure you've
experienced this type of goop it also
might be similar to that snail face mask
that that was going around for a while
or it's supposed to be a dupe for
well this is probably 14-karat at best
so you put it on yes 24 karat gold mask
go on it
that's you I can't see wrongdoings I I
do no you can't do that you do like my
face is wet it just feels watery yeah do
our machine
how much shiny you're a little shiny
yeah but unlike many face masks this is
very liquidy got the consistency of oh
and a little gritty
of mucus okay so like the snail face
nuts that was going on for a while seem
similar I don't think this is gonna dry
look at the instructions and see if this
is supposed to dry I mean there's a lot
in here you just leave it on for 10 to
15 minutes it doesn't say if it's going
to dry okay next up we have the
nourishing body polish in French
lavender and citrus for all skin types
advanced formula so this is one in this
are both part of a new Valero line that
they have coming out in their 2 or 3
sets and this is the one that smelled
the least not just to me to use apply
generous amount on wet skin massage for
one or two minutes and a circular motion
and rinse with water so oh this is also
very watery I'm guessing this is like
pledge and you should probably spot test
it to make sure it doesn't stain
now this is a few granules suspended in
a completely liquid form looks like
bubble solution or something does and
scrubs are usually kind of very rich
with abrasives so that it actually works
to scrub at your skin or polish your
skin but this is like three little
microbeads which are bad for the
environment maybe these are natural
probably not
it says reveal silky and smoother skin
with each use so I think I got four or
five microbeads each one here here here
in here so they're having to work
overtime to exfoliate so not a lot of
microbeads no no does your skin feel
smoother and silkier stinks oh is it
smell like I like a vinegar this doesn't
but my skin does your skin sparkman
trolly reacting I guess no complaints
oh it does smell like vinegar parents
knowing yeah I can kind of pick it up on
yours too okay maybe supposed to shake
it out it's a Polish we buff it out yeah
I think it's up there now it's just a
little bubble there I mean I guess if
they're gonna give you like a big
container you expect a lot of products
and they probably put about this much
worth of product in here and then just
added water maybe you have to strain it
it just kind of feels like I washed my
hand up to my help well my my skin feels
just a little bit sticky skilled maybe
it's cuz I didn't wash it off good
enough but I feel like I watched my own
with hands oh all right while we're here
do you want to try the nourishing body
cream that's the same flavor scent
French lavender and citrus because after
you polish you should moisturize so it's
kind of going on a little bit like
sunscreen but it does seem to be
absorbing yeah this isn't bad
I don't think what do you think it just
kind of feels like really thick lotion I
guess it wasn't that thick it doesn't
feel greasy or oily
I feel like I would use this on my hands
no no it's okay I guess yeah it's it's
fine I'm not super impressed but what I
put on my hands a couple of minutes ago
has kind of absorbed and my hands feel
more moisturize all right next I was
thinking we could try this safety razor
which I thought was kind of a cool find
at Dollar Tree because other than the
packaging safety razors are pretty big
in like the zero waste community because
their deal the blades are replaceable
and ideally this is usable forever and
normally these are a lot more expensive
I remember I feel like this probably
isn't steel no it is cold
yeah or it's metal like ten or something
actually it doesn't say stainless steel
it's a stainless steel handle that the
top might just be metal but for a dollar
you get the razor and five blades and I
actually remember looking first a razor
like this online and they're very
expensive so also kind of hard to find
the blades but something like this that
could be used for essentially ever you
just replace the blades out could end up
being a lot cheaper than buying
traditional razors and more eco-friendly
do you want to try it just try shaving
oh I can get you some hot water
I can trim it like dr. Yeoh my arm tried
attempt to not hurt myself I'll go get
the band-aids all right
so hurt it's like an angle thing Oh
actually that came right off
that's pretty intuitive actually you
just kind of put this edge against your
skin and it came right off that actually
works really well I might start using
that on my legs I've heard safety razors
are a little tricky especially around
like the bumps but I didn't want to
shave my armpits like Koch was shaving
gonna sure go for it just a little bit
okay he trusts me so much much for a
fairly flat part
does it hurt mm-hmm oh it hurts mm-hmm
do you think it was me doing it or do
you think was the type of blade well it
can't be dull
cuz it's brand-new but I mean I get
something again though it felt kind of
dry shaving enough but it definitely got
the hair off I do wish the handle was a
little longer I feel like my regular
razor has a nice big thick handle that I
can make sure to kind of have it we're
good so it doesn't slip in the shower
okay it's time to take our face mess off
do and go to the bathroom and do it no I
guess we gonna do right here we've got
water and stuff just done their faces
yeah okay
honestly I feel like most of this has
soaked in I kind of forgot I was wearing
a mask what do you think I don't know
like it didn't really feel like
anything's on my skin
let me try I'm not going to do with that
version it feels clean and a little
sticky but I feel a little bit like
there's a residue yeah yeah but I'm
pretty sure it didn't do anything for us
or hurt us
probably not all right next up is the
pair of rinses now these are by Garnier
and so they're it's an actual brand
Garnier whole blend single-use rinse out
care cream so it's an olive oil masks
and that's supposed to be pretty good
for your hair wait so I'm gonna put in
your beard campus's it's olive oil and
albumin which is eggs so that's like
putting Mayo in your hair no I'm kidding
oh I have actually done a Mayo hair mask
before it was horrible I really love
hair masks because your hair is so like
nice and silky after it feels good going
on this is probably the least suspect
out of all of the items just because
it's a brand name and I don't like a lot
of credence to brand names versus
generics most of the time but there's a
difference between generics and dollars
free products
let's try the scrubber
so the pod foot file is a dupe for kind
of a pet egg type situation obviously
the non-mechanical kind so we attach
this to here and then we scrub I had
foot with it or anywhere else that has
calluses it's like the grossest cheese
grater ever okay
please be gentle this is the kind of
spicy Jeffrey Dahmer isn't anything
coming off you can look in the greater
welcome to the Internet by the way
pickles
Stan that's it I'm just not sure if it's
doing anything try pressing a little
harder it feels like it's a braiding my
feet but not necessarily thanks nothing
in here is there anything on the back of
the shredder no not at all it just
doesn't even feel like it's sharp enough
to do anything it feels like it's ridged
it isn't sharp you can you can literally
just like press your fingers against it
as hard as you want as opposed to a
cheese grater with the raised part isn't
sharp at all okay so this is a total
fail cuz look I can just and it's not
operating my skin get on with these oh
it can't stickers that go in here which
will probably be more effective than
that all right let's try it it's just a
little sand polish paper do that foot
you can probably just do it here
it actually works though okay so it's
always port for that for for sticker for
a half dollar side sandpaper sticker
that will but it's just a nail file is
all it is if you add a nail file you can
just put that against your foot and
would be fine all right trash trash yeah
that's not gonna work for anything
unless you just wanted a tiny little
bubble to keep objects in that sucks
alright so all we have left to try is
the bath bomb so this bath bomb is by
the military brand spa naturals I have
tried other Dollar Tree bath bombs
before especially the treatme ones and
those do nothing they're cute they're
shaped like a little candy cone or candy
cane or cupcake but they don't fizzle
even at all and I would not even put
those in like a treat basket per child
but this one is fairly large which I
think it's probably kind of what they
were going with with this beauty line
maybe you think that it's it's large and
therefore worth more money
it's made of sodium bicarbonate citric
acid sodium sulfate and fragrance so all
the normal ingredients I'm really
interested to see if this actually
fizzes in bubbles do you want put it in
sure let me know when you're right you
let me dip it in a little bit and see
there yeah yeah dip it in I thought you
were gonna chuck it for a second yes
sorry fizzle okay drop it in we have a
very small reaction this is definitely I
wasn't expecting like a lush bath bomb
it is making the water like cloudy it
might just be kind of a slow fizzle how
much is left most of it
how's it smell
okay so that's been going for a minute
in 30 seconds and it is still kind of
bubbling but not much else
yeah but like so it's not even doing a
lot in this bowl yes Amanda drop your
toe this is a smaller than a fist sized
reaction it's not going out at all I'm
not that impressed I didn't have high
expectations for a Dollar Tree backbone
so if you're really going for kind of a
treat yourself Knight you might want to
spend just a little bit more like I did
that lush bubble wand and that bubbled
up the entire bath and I got like eight
uses out of that thing
for how much was it like eight or nine
dollars yeah so I feel like that might
be a better cost per use it actually
worked it did it bubbled up the entire
bath all I had to do is like hold it
under the faucet for a minute or so most
of these I feel like are not worth the
money the safety razor absolutely the
lotion maybe if you just like need some
lotion to keep in your office desk be
fine I wouldn't buy it in bulk I would
probably buy something better if you
just need to do for your office desk or
something maybe but lotion can't get
really expensive this I feel miss gold
gel face mask I feel like was them
jumping on a trend that they saw but
yeah just some mica and kind of a gel
and this I feel like was a total scam
this body polish is just some crud
suspended in water and it didn't do
anything and it smelled weird most of
them didn't really seem to actually do
anything except for the razor because
you can actually see a clear impact
there of course I won't know about the
hair mask till after I shower but but
even so it's just mostly boiled so it's
like a conditioner right so yeah all
right well let's wash out the your mask
and see if our hair feels wonderful and
silky we washed out the hair mask and
what Jacob what did you think of the
experience I guess my beard is softer it
feels a lot softer is usually usually
your hairs pretty coarse washing it out
of like my must
sherry was a minor nightmare I thought I
was gonna drown because it all just went
right up my nose and my hair feels fine
I just regularly wash it and ride it but
I'm gonna give you guys pro tip that was
probably worth a dollar but considering
the main ingredient was olive oil you
could just put some olive oil or some
coconut oil in your hair and do a
treatment that way also you can leave
any regular conditioner in for an
extended period of time
and it'll deeper condition your hair as
well wasn't bad wasn't excellent your
beard is nice though and you probably
wouldn't have let me grow coconut oil in
your beard would you no I don't think so
so for that alone that was probably
worth it also while I was in the shower
I went ahead and tried to shave my
armpits and my legs with a safety razor
I do think I nicked myself on the
underarms just a little bit there wasn't
any blood but when I put on deodorant
it's done slightly it wasn't bad on the
legs I didn't cut myself and it seemed
to be pretty effective however I do
usually just shave with water and I feel
like with this it's such a close shave I
probably would need to use some sort of
shaving cream what do you think do you
feel spot out do you feel pampered and
treated I guess I still feel like some
of its in my face like it was just
really hard to rinse it all out that is
our reviews at the latest Dollar Tree
Beauty and spa products if you would
like us or me to test out anything else

video a like if you liked it and to
subscribe if you would like more frugal
tips and tests okay this is my update
now that our hair is all dry J cups is
so soft like I really feel like that
hair mask and mine feels really good too
I feel like that hair mask really works
wonders we need to do that more often
but we don't necessarily have to buy
them at the Dollar Tree with you just do
with other stuff yeah we have olive oil
we'll just squirt it on our hair you
know like when you're cooking like if
there are some in the pan and then just
another dollop in your hair while you're
at it
yeah yeah like start the stuff in the
pan with one hand and work the other
stuff through your hair with the other
your beard so soft actually
okay you just did it it shook the camera
it was an accident
okay no quit in the table oh are you
adjusting the tape oh you're holding the
table down I'm holding the table down
could you keep doing that
