BEAUTY gurus might have a new and unexpected store to shop for supplies.
While the Dollar Tree might not be known for its luxury beauty items, TikToker Kim Nuzzolo revealed it has a surprisingly good selection at a fraction of the price of other stores.
Kim, an influencer in the affordable shopping and beauty space, reveals she found the Fleshcolor Starshine Eyeshadow palette in store for just $1.25.
It is typically sold at Ulta for $35.
Kim said her local store had so many, they were unlikely to go out of stock soon.
Still, if you want to take advantage of the low price this season, it’s always best to shop early to find the best deals.

Finding dupes at Dollar Tree
Dollar Tree has been known to offer dupes of popular branded items.
One influencer found a dupe for a Beautyblender for just $1.25 at the chain, and it normally has a retail price of $20 at Target.
There are affordable alternatives to the most luxury perfumes as well, including options for those who don’t want to splurge on Gucci or Burberry.

Even beyond beauty supplies, you can find gadgets similar to Amazon at Dollar Tree.
When it comes to shopping on a budget, it's understandable to want that perfect trendy item without the price tag its designer name often entails.
There are other stores like Aldi and Shein that are ultimately known for their beauty and fashion dupes, but you can also find similar items to designers by using the Google Photos app and searching for lookalikes.
A Google image search will also bring up plenty of similar products to the designer one you had in mind, often without the sky high price tag.
Similarly, Pinterest usually has lookalike products listed under pins of designer clothing.
Online stores Amazon and Shein, along with mall shops like H&M, regularly produce styles comparable to top brands without the blow to your budget, so shopping there helps as well.
Other ways to save this season
Overspending during the holidays is a sure way to set yourself up poorly for the new year.
A great way to save this season is by setting a budget for your holiday shopping.
A helpful tool to make sure you stay within your means is to make a list of people you plan on exchanging gifts with and stick to it.
This may include setting spending limits with your friends and family.
Additionally, it may be time to find those old gift cards once given to you and put them to good use.
Another thing to remember when gifting is not to impulse buy or buy for yourself.
This can be tricky as many stores will have deals during this time which can make shoppers feel as though they are saving money.
However, resist the urge to reward yourself this year if you really can't afford to.
Lastly, start shopping early.
This can help with having to spend extra money on shipping costs to ensure that gifts arrive on time.
Plus, some retailers will be offering special deals for the holidays, which can be a good idea to take advantage of.
