DOLLAR Tree, known for its $1.25 prices, sells some name brand cosmetics.
A discount store employee is sharing details on how to score makeup with discounts.
Editor Fentoozlers posted the advice on the social media platform.
She said there are special indicators that could mean a branded item is in stock.
The employee also added some of her own cosmetic purchases, including beauty tools.
She shared a specific label to look for on the packaging to find a decent product for a more expensive product.
HOW TO SAVE
The Dollar Tree employee said sometimes brand-name items arrive in stock in plain packaging.
She said there are still ways to identify these products.
“Try looking for iridescent pink bags for branded nail polish and lipstick and then handing over white cardboard,” she said.
She said her store has recently had foundations from Revlon and Maybelline.

The Redditor added some of his Dollar Tree favorites.
“I get a lot of nail polish from there, general things like tweezers and spoolies, and I like to buy lipsticks too,” she said.
“The LA Colors brand is really fun and usually has themed collections, we currently have a cute boba tea collection.
“Mine also has lots of fun headbands and hair clips. We also carry things like vanity storage.”
FINDING THE DUPES
The Dollar Tree employee shared her specific method for spotting jerks quickly.
She said the discovery came at a time when the discount store was receiving many products that could replace more expensive ones.
“I’ve seen a face lotion that says ‘compare to Cerave moisturizer’ right on the packaging,” she added.
“I didn’t compare ingredients or anything, I just see things in passing.
“But it’s also worth looking for idiots if you want to compare ingredients.”
Dollar Tree is known for its $1.25 prices on most items.
With the cost of drugstore makeup becoming increasingly expensive, cheaper alternatives are sought after by beauty junkies.
