Dollar Tree Loses the Dupes Game With These Products in 2026

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Here are this week's Dollar Tree dupes brands don't want you to know about.

[00:00:04]Dove spray deodorant and the Dollar Tree dupe. Also, compared to the Dove cooling cucumber, the Dove is going to cost you $7.92. The Dollar Tree used to be $3, but they're backtracking cuz nobody's buying those dupes at that price. They have things for $5 that are dupes. They have things for $3. And most of the deodorants that you see like this, scan them in the store. You'd be surprised.

[00:00:27]Most all of them are reduced down to $1.25. At $1.25, I'll compare them and try them now. But at $3, no, I'll just buy the brand name one. Dollar Tree.

[00:00:38]This is a cult favorite. This is the deodorant I use. But I don't like the aerosol cans. I'm just too cold. I don't like to spray it. I feel like I'm going to miss #notsponsored. Both of them have aluminum, which don't say it. It's a myth. The Dollar Tree has 20%. Is this going to keep us fresher? Brand name one has 15%. Let's do a dark shirt. My solid goes on clear. 72-hour protection. Wow.

[00:01:04]You're not bathing for 72 hours. I care about the white. The deodorant marks.

[00:01:11]Love that smell. Let me know in the comments down below what deodorant you use. Let's give it a second cuz I want it to kind of go away cuz I want to see what Dollar Tree is trying to play here.

[00:01:19]The brand name is giving us 3.8 o of product. Dollar Tree is giving us 3.5 oz of product. Wa! Oh my god. My entire studio is fogged up. Y'all can just retire this Dollar Tree. Y'all just put it in the one quarter section of the store. It smells nothing. Like, absolutely not. Throw that away. No. The scent, the poof. We inhaled that. At least this is a controlled spray. It spread out so much. It didn't leave a streak. I know you're thinking, "Oh, that's good. It didn't leave a streak."

[00:01:48]But you inhaled the streak.

[00:01:52]You got to pick your poison. You either want it on your shirt or you want it in your lungs. So you decide. So for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the brand name five. Vivian heads. Fantastic product. Even with the little tiny streak, just rub it in real good. And the Dollar Tree, leave it there. Dollar Tree is real funny. Look at this one.

[00:02:09]Dr. Squatch. I personally love the brand. I know it's for the boys. I love their soaps. So expensive, but they're so freaking good. If you want to be squeaky clean, try the soap. It's so good. Buy it when it's on sale or on clearance or something. That's when you buy. Don't buy regular price. They're pretty very pricey. And this is very pricey, too. I guess it could be for the girls. I don't think it knows the difference, but it might. You might smell. See, it's the scent that they put in all their products. First of all, it feels very fresh and clean and very natural. It has postbiotics, arrowroot, and charcoal. It's aluminum free. You always know that's going to cost you a little bit more. Oh, that's the brand is fantastic. I know it's not for me, but it is really good. The brand name one is going to cost you $12.98. So, by buying the one at Dollar Tree, I'm saving about 117 something. I'll tell you here somewhere. Same kind of character. I mean, they did the most. Dollar Tree did the most. I think this is power stick as well. Yes, it is power stick.

[00:03:13]Paraben-free, vegan. Brandame one is giving you 2.65 o of product. The Dollar Tree is giving you 2.25 oz of product.

[00:03:23]Wow. Obviously, today, first impressions. I can't try this and tell you if it's going to work. My lover can, but this is fantastic.

[00:03:34]Smell this when you go to the store.

[00:03:35]Now, I am not a believer in the aluminum free. This is going to smell good for 5 minutes and then you're going to stink like that. This one smells so good, too.

[00:03:43]Like, you can't lose. But this one is a little bit firmer. That deodorant mark we don't like. Probably my one complaint. You can see it clearly on camera. Now the Dollar Tree. Ooh, Dollar Tree. They're both doing the same thing.

[00:03:57]I thought this was a clear solid. Hello.

[00:03:59]If they're both going to perform the same as far as the deodorant marks, obviously the brand name one is stronger. I see it more. The Dollar Tree one is not as white as the brand name, but it's still it's still there. So, for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the name brand one five Vivian heads. I can't I have to give it four. First of all, I don't know if it's going to keep you dry all day and not stinky. And then I'm going to give the Dollar Tree one three Vivian heads. This is the second product that people are nuts on the internet for. Now, the E.L.F. one. When I first picked up the Dollar Tree dupe, I said in my short little video, if you're not following me on Facebook, Tik Tok, all those places, I'm trying to do little short videos for you guys, but in that video, I said that these were $25.

[00:04:46]And the $25 one is the giant one. It's like double the size of this, but this one's still $11 compared to the one from Dollar Tree, which is by Be Pure, which we love, for $1.25. So, by purchasing the one at Dollar Tree, you're still saving $9.75.

[00:05:03]That's still huge. But I have not heard good things about this. I've heard a lot of great things about the one from E.L.F. And I was also complaining in that video talking about E.L.F. used to be a dollar store brand. E.L.F. used to cost a dollar. If they had pricey stuff, it was three bucks max, maybe five if we were getting extra fancy. And now $11 for this. I am not a big fan of sticky primers. And I think this is I don't even get it. That must be a millennial thing. Is it a millennial thing? Is it for the youngans who like sticky stuff on their face? I don't understand it.

[00:05:36]That's the problem. I don't understand it. Just because I don't understand it doesn't mean it's not good. So, we're going to try it today. I have a tiny bit of foundation here. We'll put it on. I want to see what it feels like once we stick it on and then put foundation over the top. I don't want to be going.

[00:05:50]Imagine you're at work.

[00:05:53]I can't. Like, that's what I'm imagining. A bird's feather sticks to your face. All the fuzz and the fuzzies in the air stick to your face. See, I'm dramatic. That's what I'm imagining.

[00:06:04]Now, this one does still look bigger than the one from Dollar Tree. This one is811 oz. The Dollar Tree is 04. So, half. The price is still not justified to me. So, let's see what the Dollar Tree one is.

[00:06:17]Now, the Dollar Tree one says gel grip face primer with hyaluronic acid. Did this one say hyaluronic acid? I don't think it did. Sticky. Oh, with hyaluronic acid. Yes, ma'am. They said, "Yep, we can do that, too, for a dollar and a quarter." So, let's do I think you're just supposed to pump and put it on. I'm a basic girl. Okay. I don't even like makeup that much. I put it on because I have to or because it looks nice. I'm not going to lie. It does look nice. Okay, that's too much already for me. No smell. Okay, convince me that this is great. It feels like hair gel on your face. I'm going to rub it in. So, see if it gets a little thinner. Do not convince me that this is the best thing.

[00:06:55]And they made the huge tubs of it because I guess people love it that much. Okay, it's thinning out. Allow to set for 30 seconds and activates grip.

[00:07:04]It's a twisty top. Nothing fancy here.

[00:07:08]No pump, no nothing. Okay, we saved the money and gave it back to y'all. See, no fancy pump. That fancy pump cost you $10.

[00:07:16]Epier said, "We don't need the pump.

[00:07:17]Let's just give you a squeezy bottle and the product and it's $1.25." Absolutely not. It's even worse texture than the E.L.F. Y'all cannot convince me this stuff is good. Give it 30 seconds for both. Can be used underneath or alone to reduce the appearance of pores. Oh, I also have this amazing brush from Dollar Tree. You see what I'm saying? I love their stuff. I love saving money. I love getting good things from them. But I'm not going to fight for them in the comments. A little foundation. And hopefully it isn't my shade. That way you guys can see it on camera. H. Okay.

[00:07:51]The grip is nicer on the E.L.F. side has a nicer, not nicer. I hate the grip, but it has more grip, I should say. Oh, too much, Vivian. If I love it, I'm going to kick myself after that rant. When did this become a thing? Who made this a thing? I know there's a big brand that has a a grippy Oh, it's Milk, isn't it?

[00:08:11]Milk has a primer that's super grippy.

[00:08:13]That's the brand name, Milk. I think the E.L.F. side looks better as far as how the foundation went on. This one looks a little blotchy still, huh? Okay, I'll give it to E.L.F. They're winning so far. It's not too shiny. I feel like this side is like blotchy right there.

[00:08:29]The Dollar Tree side is not as sticky, but obviously it doesn't look as nice as this side does. This one I'm going to say no because of how it went on and what the makeup looks like after. If you have to have a grip, this one's not bad.

[00:08:43]$11. I still feel like it's a lot. If they had a smaller one and it was five bucks, then I would say, "Eh, fine." So, for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the E.L.F. four Vivian heads. And I'm going to give the Dollar Tree one two Vivian heads. Shout Advanced Stain Remover with the little brushy thing on top. And then the Dollar Tree dupe by Homebrite. This line of products that Dollar Tree is starting to bring in is so good. And I was super excited because I am a huge fan of Shout. I love the stuff. It works. I've tested it in a million videos with other dupes. Now, why does this one seem smaller? Hold on.

[00:09:19]The Shia is giving us 8.7 ounces of product. The Dollar Tree is a little bit smaller, coming in at 5 o of product, but there is just a little bit of savings. The brand name is going to cost you $3.84.

[00:09:32]The Dollar Tree $1.50. Not a huge savings, but there is a little bit of savings. And this one's giving you more.

[00:09:38]So, not even that much savings. You do the math and you decide, especially if it works. And I have a feeling this is going to work because I tested their little wipes in a video and they worked like a charm. Now, it is a product that they carry all the time. I like to tell you guys that because sometimes I mention a product and then people are like, "Yeah, we can't find it." So, today we're going to test it with a little bit of ketchup. Too much, Vivian.

[00:10:04]My husband needs this giant bottle because every time without miss we go somewhere, ketchup on a shirt.

[00:10:11]It says it only needs to sit for one to five minutes. The Dollar Tree one says the exact same instructions. Let's see.

[00:10:22]Do you do this? Do you do a stain remover? Very light squeeze.

[00:10:27]Oh, a lot came out. Now, there is a difference on the size of the scrubber.

[00:10:33]This one's a little bit smaller. Maybe for tighter spots. Not bad. But this one, a lot of coverage area. So, keep that in mind. Ew. And up. It's still coming out, though. See, here's the problem. When I'm scrubbing it, I'm done. I don't need it to continue coming out. This one stopped leaking once I was going cuz I wasn't squeezing it. I'm not squeezing this. And I feel like it's still coming out when I have it turned over. If we're just holding them, the Dollar Tree one is about to start dripping. There it is. Look. Here's what we have. The brand name one is this bigger one on this side. And then the Dollar Tree or You see how they look kind of the same? Like they're both going to come out. I have my little bowl of water here so we can put it through the wash cycle. Hit manual. Listen, old school way. Now, if you have a different product that you feel like nobody uses, it's a top secret product that you use for stain removal. Let us know in the comments down below. We don't keep secrets here. If you look at my comments, people share all the time. And of course, if you haven't subscribed to Vivian Tries, you should subscribe.

[00:11:33]Number one is free. Number two is people forget. You told me to remind you last time to subscribe because you forgot.

[00:11:40]So, here I am reminding you to go ahead and subscribe because this is what I bring you the truth. Cuz a lot of people online will go, "Oh yeah, buy this product at Dollar Tree and it's still trash." I'm like, "No, I wasted money."

[00:11:51]Even though it's a $1.50, it's still wasted money. I don't even like to waste $1.50. Okay, are you ready for the final results? Predictions are in, bets are in. Remember, on this side is the brand.

[00:12:01]This side is Dollar Tree. Ready? One, two, 3, go.

[00:12:07]They both work. But if I'm completely honest, and let me know if you see it, cuz remember I have a lot of cameras and lights in here, so I might be blinded by the lights, but I think the brand name one is crispier white. That's what I'm saying. This stuff is fantastic. I know there's trendy ones and like hipster ones that come out all the time and stain remover. No, no, no. This $3 old school been around for a thousand years.

[00:12:36]This stuff works. That's why it's still here. So, for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the Dollar Tree three Vivian Heads and I'm going to give the Shout five. It's still great at the price point. Guru Nanda Tea Tree Essential Oil and then the Dollar Tree dupe. And this is what I hate that when you go into stores, certain stores, they start to dupe you or copy you when they're selling you. And I don't know why I have like a I love that brand.

[00:13:03]Guru Nanda is such a good brand and already at such a great price that I'm like why are you doing that to them?

[00:13:09]They already came into your stores. Like I hate that for them because the owner is always on TikTok. He is so sweet and he shows you like behind the scenes and all of his product is so sweet and he shows you how he develops them and all the things. It's so cute to see the behind the scenes because I myself have vibes so I know how hard it is to start a business and run a business even though his brand is humongous and he's been doing it for a long time. This is our magnesium gummies. These are our newest product from Veu. They're a raspberry. They're delicious. Everybody needs magnesium. I normally say ask your doctor. I don't know anybody who might not need magnesium. This is our newest one and it tastes so good. This is what pisses me off that Mr. Gurun Nanda went into Dollar Tree. He always says he's trying to close the gap and then Dollar Tree turns around and dupes him. Shame on you. Dollar Tree. Walmart will do it, too. They're both tea tree. They both say 100% natural. These are $5 at Walmart, but at some of the stores, they're clearancing them out, which also made me sad. But I think now they're like $1.50. Regular price. I think it was $5. So, you're saving quite a bit of money by buying the one at Dollar Tree.

[00:14:19]But let's look at the ingredients real quick cuz now I'm curious. The first ingredient is sweet almond oil. Dollar Tree. Gurananda. What's in here? What ingredient? Here. This is watered down.

[00:14:30]While it is natural and pure, it's has other things in there. You're not getting the full thing. See, that's why he has to sell it for this price and Dollar Tree gets to sell it for $1.25.

[00:14:40]And I'm going to take it personal even though I shouldn't. Oh, it's a tiny bottle, too. Hold on a second. This is 27 fluid ounces. It's super cute, though.

[00:14:52]Oh, that's really cute. Look at that.

[00:14:57]It's tiny compared to Okay, you're still getting a better deal by buying the brand name one. You're getting more product, double the product, and you're getting pure, not watered down. Let's see if you can smell it. And when you smell tea tree, you cannot mistaken that smell. the brand name one. And it's so good for all kinds of stuff. Tea tree oil. Oh, for your hair, for dandruff, fungalitis on your toes, for all kinds of stuff. You need to have this around the house for all kinds of stuff. Oh, and I love the smell. I usually don't like these herbbally smells, but tea tree oil is just so good and yummy to me. Now, you can't mistaken that smell.

[00:15:37]Mm- pure. Now, let's see. Dollar Tree.

[00:15:40]Nope. You can tell it's not pure. You can tell there's sweet almond oil in there. Let me shake it. Make sure it didn't settle down. They have all kinds, too. They have a lavender one. They have this one. They have all kinds. Like, they're trying to bring in the whole line. And it even pisses me off that they try to copy like the branding on it, even though this is like yellow beige. That even pisses me off. Oh, it says here pure blended with almond and coconut oil. There's probably one drop of tea tree oil in there. And they only put tea tree in the front. This is a blend of oils, not tea tree. So there you go. You're getting all kinds of Vivian heads taken off because that should be false advertising. Okay, I'm going to put the Dollar Tree one on your hand. I can smell it because tea tree oil is very strong. So I'm getting some of it, but you can tell it's not pure.

[00:16:32]Nope. I can smell all the other things as well. Is it oil? Yes. Does it smell similar? Yes. Is it cheap? Yes. But you're not getting the same thing. It's not apples to apples here that matters.

[00:16:44]Put a couple drops of this. And this is so strong and so potent because it's pure that you're probably going to need less than what you're going to need for this. And for like home remedies, you're probably going to have to use twice as much, if not three times as much to feel any kind of effects than you would by just buying the pure one and using a couple of drops. So, I'm going to give the Gurunanda five Vivian heads even at regular price. And I'm going to give the Dollar Tree to Vivian Heads because it is not pure 100% tea tree oil like they made it seem there in the front. They're going to break the internet and the uh Dollar Tree website with this one. This is a Dior Addict lip balm. This is the first time I own Dior any kind of makeup. Dollar Tree said those are cute.

[00:17:29]We The brand name one is going to cost you $42. The Dollar Tree $1.25 25 still at that sweet sweet deal. So by purchasing the one from Dollar Tree, you're saving $40.75.

[00:17:44]I think there might be one more color cuz I got the sheer nude and then the sheer pink. I think somebody told me on my Facebook page, if you're not following me on Facebook, follow me on Facebook because I shared this a couple days ago so that you guys can hurry up and go pick them up. But I heard from somebody on Facebook that they have a sheer mauve color. So, just know there might be possibly three, but for sure the two that I have, check this out.

[00:18:08]Oh, be pure. You guys are so funny. Look at that. Now, the Dior feels expensive.

[00:18:15]Okay, the Dollar Tree feels a little plasticky, but it's fine. It's about the look. We'll start with this fancy one, and this is the pink. It's stamped on the top with the Dior logo, which expected for the price. Uh, the Dollar Tree has no stamp, but still super cute.

[00:18:34]It butter, but it's sheer. Is that cute?

[00:18:37]Don't you want some color? That's why I picked up the lipstick, too, cuz I thought if this is good, then is it sticky? I can't tell. The Dollar Tree.

[00:18:48]It's not the same. They both have a tiny bit of color. They are sheer, but if I pump this all the way out and then I can't get it back in, I'm going to cry.

[00:18:56]You get more product with Dollar Tree.

[00:18:58]The Dior, let me put them like this so you guys. The Dior is on this side. It's not the same though. The Dior one seems more moisturizing, more glossy. I'm going to do the Dior on top and then the Dollar Tree on the bottom lip. So, let's see. Ooh, I don't get it. It's fine. I mean, it's lovely. It's not $42. Lovely.

[00:19:21]Come on, Dollar Tree. Let's see. I don't like the color. It's not pink. It looks like that Mauy one that girl told me about.

[00:19:30]Ew.

[00:19:32]No. Neither. The color of the Dollar Tree one is horrid. It's supposed to be pink. Let's see what the nude looks like because that is not a cute color. I mean, it might be a cute color on you.

[00:19:42]It's not a cute color on me. I need a little bit of color, but this one says nude. So, this one might not have any color in it. Let's try on the sheer nude from Dollar Tree.

[00:19:53]It's fine. I don't want to hate it because $42 savings, but the formula is like, it's fine, but it's not Dior. They just copied the packaging. That's all they did. Now, just Dior on my crusty, dry lips. Now, I do like that it's PH activating because for that price, I needed to have something. I wanted to love it, but in my professional opinion, that is absolutely not worth $42. Let's leave both of them in the store. the Dollar Tree and that one. So, for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the Dior three Vivian heads. I took two Vivian heads off for price. And I'm going to give the Dollar Tree two Vivian heads because this cute packaging.

[00:20:36]That's it. Oh, and if you're wondering what's a good pH changing lip balm from Dollar Tree, this one. I've gone through 12 of these already. Buy one. Look at this. It's not sticky. The color is absolutely perfect. It's the best. It's moisturized. I have these all over the house. These are dishwasher refreshers. The brand name one. There's a couple different brand name ones. And then the Dollar Tree one. I found this one on Amazon. I tried to look at Walmart. They didn't have them. The brand name one is going to cost you $6.90 on Amazon and the Dollar Tree $1.25. By purchasing the Dollar Tree one over the brand name one, you're saving $565.

[00:21:19]The brand name one. It says it is effective for removing bad odors like fish and eggs. Your dishwasher smells like fish and eggs. What does the Dollar Tree one say? Eliminates unpleasant odors and leaves your dishes smelling fresh and clean.

[00:21:38]We want our dishes to smell like lemon and fresh and clean. That's a first. The odorizer can be used up to 60 washes and provides longlasting freshness. Seems gimmicky now. If they're not made in the exact same facility, I'm probably wrong.

[00:21:57]They're not associated. None of the products in this video are associated.

[00:22:02]But man, the guesses that they make on every little design molding, it's incredible. These people must know how to do like that remote viewing.

[00:22:17]It doesn't even smell in here. It's gimmicky in my opinion. Maybe it's activated when you wet it. Oh, that smells delicious. It's a miracle.

[00:22:29]They nailed the fresh lemon smell on the Dollar Tree one. The Dollar Tree is going to hang on this side. All of these accessories are from Dollar Tree brand name one. So, this is what you're going to do in your dishwasher. You're going to hang them like that, just off the little rack. I'm just going to spritz them to see if something activates a little bit more. If I smell some more.

[00:22:49]The dishes are done. They're drip drying now.

[00:22:54]It's faint. It's there, but it's faint.

[00:22:58]Oh, the Dollar Tree one is good. That is not going to last 60 washes, guaranteed.

[00:23:03]I'm just giving you my first impressions, but this is going to last like three washes. 60. Absolutely not.

[00:23:10]Show me the clinical trials. I want to see. You're so dumb. Don't buy this.

[00:23:15]This is stupid.

[00:23:17]But if I had to pick a winner, Dollar Tree wins. Three Vivian heads for Dollar Tree, one Vivian head for the brand name one. Lubricating eye drops in individual little packs. The brand name one cost me $12.98.

[00:23:30]I didn't realize eye stuff was so expensive. It is. Well, Dollar Tree is bringing these in also individually packed. So, if you're having any kind of eye surgery, you might want to stop over at Dollar Tree and pick these up. Now, Dollar Tree has less. So, keep that in mind. The brand name one is going to cost you $12.98. The Dollar Tree $1.25.

[00:23:52]So, by buying the Dollar Tree, you're saving $11.73. That is fantastic. This one has how many? 25. That's a lot.

[00:24:01]Okay, do the math. Because Dollar Tree is only giving us five for that price.

[00:24:05]But sometimes you don't need 25. Like geez, maybe it's a quick little thing.

[00:24:10]Is this for allergies, too? Does it help with I don't know. Same ingredient, same active. No, different activives, slightly different formulas. These come individually packed. Dollar Trees are coming in here. Let's open this. You're only getting five. I know, but in a pinch. Ooh, the brand name one I think is also giving you more product. The brand name is giving you 07 milliliters.

[00:24:33]This one is giving you 04. I think if we do the math, this one's still a better deal. The brand name one. We're going to try it on our egg to see how juicy it is, how well it rolls off, how much glide there is. That's the only way cuz I don't have dry eyes. So, three, four, five, 10. Forget it. Stop counting.

[00:24:52]Okay, that is staying on the eyeball.

[00:24:55]The Dollar Tree one had I want to touch it.

[00:24:59]Okay. It just feels like eye drops. I want to touch this one. Oh, there's a difference. This feels just like regular drops. Definitely a difference. This feels like lubrication. Not a lot. Not thick like that, but I can definitely feel glide in the brand name one. This one just feels like water. It's very basic. There's nothing fancy about that formula. It's just literally eye drops.

[00:25:21]Like like real basic. This one good for the price, for the size, for all of it.

[00:25:28]I'm gonna say if you're gonna go just go here. For all of those reasons, I'm going to give the brand name one five Vivian heads and I'm going to give the Dollar Tree three. I was going to say four, but no, three. It's very basic.

[00:25:38]L'Oreal Paris Ever Pure Sulfur Free Blonde Conditioner. Purple. Maybe that's what I'm thinking cuz it's purple and usually when you're blonde and your hair starts to get a little bit brassy or really yellow, you can kind of neutral.

[00:25:53]I've never been a blonde, but listen to me tell you. I think I've tried to be a blonde, but it's never worked out because I try to do it myself at home because I think I can always figure things out. Dollar Tree's got a bit of a dupe here. The brand name one is going to cost you $9.99.

[00:26:10]The Dollar Tree $1 and a quarter. So, by purchasing the Dollar Tree one, you're saving here $8.74.

[00:26:18]That's a great savings. The Dollar Tree one is giving you 6.5 fl. ounces. The L'Oreal. It's giving you 8.5 oz. It smells like flowers. Oh, that smells lovely. I don't think you should only use this if you're a blonde. I don't know. Let me know in the comments down below. It brightens blonde hairing hydration. The Dollar Tree one says sulfate free color protecting with lavender oil and chamomile. Neutralizes brassiness and anti-fade shield. Oh, it says manufactured in the United States.

[00:26:52]There you go. Let's see if it's not purple. Oh, I'm going to be so mad at you. What are you doing? Doesn't it have to be a little purple to neutralize? Oh my god. Pay the $9. Take care of your blonde. You know, I almost posted about this the other day on my Facebook page.

[00:27:06]You remember when you could just walk into a salon and just be like, I just need a haircut. I need a trim. I need a hair color. I want to go blonde.

[00:27:13]Remember those days? You just walk into a place? Now you got to make an appointment. You got to leave a credit card deposit. You got to go in for consult. I'm like, I just want a trim, lady. A fivew week affair, consultation, appointment. She's holding 150 of my dollars until I come in. It's a crazy mess and salons. And if you're a hair stylist or a colorist, maybe not you.

[00:27:36]This at least is a little bit purple.

[00:27:38]It's thick. It's creamy. Probably worth every cent. This looks like hair gel.

[00:27:43]Look how runny it is. Come on. No comparison here. And I spread them around just so you guys can see. I want to just see how they feel on my skin.

[00:27:53]That's lovely. You've convinced me. I'm not even a blonde. You've convinced me to buy your product. This hand right here, super soft. Even though this is not made for the hands, it's made for your hair. But you can tell by just placing it on your hands how soft and moisturizing it could be. And this is like a me. Look how it comes out. Look at this. Now it feels like a runny gel.

[00:28:15]It smells nice. So, for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the L'Oreal five Vivian heads. Even at the price, I'm going to give the Dollar Tree one Vivian Head. Pixie lip mask and the Dollar Tree dupe by Be Pure. Both of them come with the little thing to scoop it out, which is my favorite. Why doesn't everybody do that? I don't mind it being the lip products in a little pod, but give me something. I don't want to be sticking my fungalitis.

[00:28:44]The brand name one is going to cost you $12. The Dollar Tree $1.25. So, by buying the Dollar Tree, fingers crossed, that is good. This little brand has surprised me recently. Be pure has been missing recently, though. But by buying the Dollar Tree one, you're saving $10.75.

[00:29:01]That's a huge savings, especially for stuff like this. We got a million different lip masks. The Dollar Tree one has hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, and it is a strawberry flavor. So, I'm super excited about that. But what I was saying about this brand is recently I've been using I did it for a dupes video as well. Their bronzing little stick thing.

[00:29:21]It is fantastic. How super cute. Very basic packaging for $12. I'm expecting something a little bit more than that.

[00:29:29]Oh, it has a cute little Okay, I like the mirror. If this one has a mirror, forget about it. Cute. That's all the product we're getting. It's beautiful.

[00:29:39]And the little applicator thing. Wait, does this one have hyaluronic acid? This one's doing better. I don't see that it has vitamin E. It's vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. So, Be Pure is winning there. Nothing. No flavoring. Oh, for $12. I need some kind of scent. That's what they look like. The brand name one looks like super glossy, huh? Like yellow. Here is the applicator. Okay.

[00:30:04]So, you just pop it out from the front.

[00:30:07]It kind of is giving a 13-year-old girl lipstick. There's differences in quality. The B Pure is just a little plastic stick. The brand name one is giving us a silicone soft tip. Oh, kind of nice. Please don't be sticky. Oh, no.

[00:30:25]That's very nice. The color is pretty.

[00:30:28]Slightly tinted. Okay, they feel the same.

[00:30:32]The Dollar Tree one has the nice strawberry smell, but it does not have any color at all. It is a gloss, but they feel similar. Let's put it on my lips. We'll start with the brand name one. Oh, it's pretty. A tiny hint of color. I'm going to say pass on it for $12. There's nothing exciting, interesting, nothing. Okay, let's take it off. Now, the Dollar Tree. No. Mm- It feels the same. No. Look how tiny this is. I'm going to swallow it.

[00:31:05]It's for teenagers. Pass on both. That is so rare for me. So, for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the Be Pure Lip Mask to Vivian Heads. And I'm going to give the brand name to Vivian Heads as well. This is just an honorable mention because when I went to pick up the brand name one, I was comparing the labels and I'm like, "Yeah, no." I didn't even have to buy it to tell you they're not the same. The ingredients are completely different. This one doesn't mention that it has honey. The brand name one is going to cost you $7.99. The Dollar Tree, which also says on here, it is compared to the honey blend of the Garnier hold blends. That's what it is. But it's the honey line that they have. It repairs dry and damaged hair. Leaves hair deeply moisturized.

[00:31:56]And there's a lot of honey products right now. But no, by buying the one from Dollar Tree, you would have saved $6.74.

[00:32:05]But here's the deal. I was looking at the label and I'm like, "Wait a second.

[00:32:09]Did you just put pictures of honeycombs and honey on this?" Because it's not the same thing. The ingredients on here.

[00:32:17]Where's the honey? I don't see it.

[00:32:19]What's going on?

[00:32:21]It smells Oh, it smells like honey.

[00:32:25]Wait a second. Let me see. Let's pour it out. Oh, this is the conditioner. My bad. It does smell like honey. I was reading the Garnier one and I was like, I'll mention it in a video in case somebody wants to try it out. For $125, I guess it's not horrible, but compared to that product wasn't even close. I just wanted to mention it in this dupes video because it is a dupe, but I was like, "No, this is way off." Like, I could even tell just based on reading the label on the other one. So, it's this product here.

[00:33:01]Mm- I'm going to say no. If you've tried it and you absolutely love it and you think that the healing properties of the honey of the honey that is in here or I don't know, I don't see honey anywhere.

[00:33:13]Maybe it's just the smell of honey.

[00:33:16]Either way, for this one, I need your feedback on, but I wanted to mention it in case you were looking for a dupe. So, just based on that and just based on what I saw in the store and this, I'm going to give this guy two Vivian heads.

[00:33:28]The viral product that Dollar Tree was inspired by and went super mega viral next to those hand sanitizer was this guy. This was what launched it off into a different level of virality right here. And look at all that I have left.

[00:33:45]This is the original brand name. It's $39. Not for this little one. This is the only one I would buy because it's so expensive. The regular sized one is $39.

[00:33:58]But it's so good. I mean, I probably have had this for over a year. I don't use it except for special occasions because it's so good. to Dollar Tree.

[00:34:05]They brought in the aerosol can one.

[00:34:08]That one was good. That's the one they nailed. But now they're getting brave.

[00:34:13]Now they're even copying. Look, the same orange color. This is the spray mist just like the original. This is $1.25.

[00:34:21]So if you purchase the Dollar Tree over the brand name one, you're saving $37.75.

[00:34:28]That is such a huge sa like crazyness. I heard a lot of people online say that the Dollar Tree one, this specific one that just rolled out that it doesn't last. But here's what I'm saying. It might not last. Right? If the first couple of spritzes are pretty good or pretty close to that, buy you two of these and just keep spraying all day.

[00:34:52]Reapply, baby. Reapply. $37 savings. Are you nuts? I don't even have to open it, too. Like, this is so good. Just from there, he'll drop to his knees. He will.

[00:35:05]Ladies, if you've never smelt this, please go to Sephora and take a whiff.

[00:35:10]And I heard they have a deodorant. I would totally buy the deodorant. But it's a natural deodorant. That don't work. Don't play with me. Don't tell me in the comments. I got to try it. They don't work. I've tried a million. They don't work. Not even close. Okay. I smell a lot of alcohol, but I I kind of get it in there. I'm going to spray it so that I get the full effect. First, we're going to see if we get the whiff of It's so good. It's not dead on, but it's about 90% on. Did you see the mist on the hour? Reseritz some absolutely all day. And they have three other flavor scents of it. The amber one and one other one. I don't like those. This is my absolute favorite. And if I see them again, I'm going to pick them up because for the What is that? 30 seconds.

[00:36:06]Dollar Tree. I don't smell it at all.

[00:36:08]Embarrassing. I'm not going to be spraying this every 5 minutes. Once an hour, fine. Buy it just for the fun of it, I guess. But don't expect it's so faint. So, I'm going to give the Dollar Tree pump cuz we've tried all the other ones. This specific pump one. I'm going to give this guy two Vivian heads.

[00:36:26]I'll give it an extra Vivian head if at the end I can still smell it on me or around me. Whipped shaving cream, the brand name and the Dollar Tree one. Now, they both have this vanilla coconut creamy one, but they were out of stock at Target, so I just bought the golden vanilla one, but it is the dupe for this name brand. The original brand name is going to cost you $6.87. 87 cents. The Dollar Tree a dollar and a quarter. So by purchasing the one from Dollar Tree, you're saving $5.64.

[00:37:00]That's a pretty good savings. This one seems to have more product. 5 oz. No, the brand name one is giving you 6.7 oz.

[00:37:07]So that's pretty good. The Dollar Tree one says dermatologist tested with coconut oil and aloe vera. I was impressed by the packaging. Look, they really tried, huh? They really tried to match it. This one's kind of pricey in my opinion.

[00:37:25]Why is it?

[00:37:28]Ew. It's everywhere.

[00:37:31]Oh, it smells good. It smells like really nice vanilla. Okay. What is it?

[00:37:36]Smells like vanilla, sugar cane, sandalwood. This one is smells really good. I love that. I know you're going to say, "Vivian, I thought you didn't like fragrances." I don't like fragrances in my skin care. I don't want my foundation. I don't want my moisturizer that's going onto my face.

[00:37:54]But for my body, for my shaving, for my hand sanitizer. I love that companies are putting a lot of effort now into making them delicious smelling. I love that. This one is so gross. It looks like somebody like tried to use it in the store. It's all dried out. Let's see.

[00:38:14]Pretty.

[00:38:17]Oh, that smells like expensive perfume.

[00:38:22]Dollar Tree.

[00:38:26]Okay. By the Dollar Tree as well. They both came out super nice. It smells good.

[00:38:33]But it smells like a fake coconut. You know what I'm talking about? That fake coconut. Like the air fresheners in the car when it's like coconut. Like you can tell it was lab created. It's not real coconut smell. this.

[00:38:47]It's the sandalwood.

[00:38:49]Oh, that is smells like expensive perfume. Now, I don't know if it'll stay behind on your skin very long. If you've tried it and that's your experience, let us know in the comments down below. I'm going to put some on my hand so I can see how that good they feel. We'll start with the brand name.

[00:39:07]Oh, look at that. Creamy. Okay, that's a lot. Vivian, that feels so good. Super thick whipped whipped. Look at that.

[00:39:18]What a mess, Vivian.

[00:39:21]That smell. Oh, it's like whipped cream. Now, the textures are totally different. They're both whipped. I hate the smell of this one cuz it smells fake, but the texture of it is so nice. You can even see it on camera how they are not. They are totally different as far as texture and whippedness.

[00:39:46]This looks like real whipped cream. It feels like real whipped cream. It isn't.

[00:39:50]Do not eat it. It is not a dessert. It is now off my hands. I washed it with just some water. I want to see if the smell is still there.

[00:39:58]Yes. Yes. Dollar Tree.

[00:40:03]It's very faint, but I don't care because I don't like the smell. But it feels so nice. Both hands feel very nice afterward.

[00:40:11]Dollar Tree. If you want the texture and softness of it, yes. The smell, no. If you want something that smells so good, that might be worth the splurge. Just use a little bit. That's what I would do. So, I'm going to give the brand name one of the shaving cream and get the scent, Golden Vanilla, four Vivian Heads. And I'm going to give the Dollar Tree three Vivian heads. Sold De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. I only have the tiny one because the original sized one, like the one from Dollar Tree, like this big, $48. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

[00:40:50]This one from Dollar Tree, also called Brazilian Soul Body Butter Pistachio Caramel. Right there, $1.25.

[00:41:02]By purchasing the Dollar Tree one over the name brand one, you're saving $46.75.

[00:41:10]But here's the thing, guys. I have heard mixed reviews here. This smells like heaven. I've mentioned it with the other products that they have copied or duped.

[00:41:21]I don't know about $48, but it's good.

[00:41:24]This one I don't have high hopes for because 125 expectations are mega mega mega high. But the size is great. They did not care that they were going to look so similar.

[00:41:39]Oh, it's so good. It's so good. I feel like lathering my whole body with it right now. It's so If you've never smelt that, just go to Sephora or wherever they sell it and just take a whiff of it. This is cute, though. I like how they don't throw this away. I like how they packaged it. Listen, once you go through this or if it's not good, dump it and then fill it with a different kind of cream. But this is cute little packaging. Why does that look disgusting? No, ma'am. It's not the same. I can tell you immediately it's not the same. Wait, hold on. Pump the brakes. They look different. This one is more yellow, very creamy, almost like butter, like thick.

[00:42:20]Oh, delicious. This is white. The way they threw it in there looks disgusting.

[00:42:25]But the smell.

[00:42:27]Do they have another viral hit? Okay, I have to put it on my skin. First, we'll start with the name brand. So good. Oh, he's going to be running after me after the video. He's going to chase you around the house cuz you're going to smell like a yummy snack. Look how quickly that absorbed. Like this. So good. I hate the color of this. I wish Oh, that's really thick. But hold on.

[00:42:50]Oh, then you have to work it in real real good. Get those crusty elbows. I understand why they mark it up 48 bucks cuz it's good. The original heavenly four Vivian heads. I took one Vivian head off for price. Texture perfection.

[00:43:07]Absorption. Perfection. Smell. This one smell is close. Texture. It's fine.

[00:43:15]Absorption. H. It's fine. And the smell is gone. How disappointing. It's so faint. It's not going to last you. By the time you get out of the bathroom where you put it on to get to the car, it's gone. You're going have to say, "Get closed, babe, and smell me quick cuz it's going to disappear fast." For a dollar and a quarter, maybe buy you one just to see if you enjoy it. It's not horrible for the price. It's not sticky at all. It absorbed really nicely. So, for all of those reasons, I'm going to give the Dollar Tree one. three Vivian heads paint sets one which is from Walgreens or you can get it on Amazon too. I'm sure everybody sells them but that's where I picked up this one and then the Dollar Tree one which to me right off the bat it's already a win because this one on Amazon is selling for $11.95. That's a lot for what you're getting here. Look at the Dollar Tree one. Yeah, it's a little bit smaller.

[00:44:08]It's a little bit wonky. Listen, if you're buying this to paint, you're not doing a lot of work. This is quick little touchup. a little project. If you were painting the whole house, okay, fine. Don't mind this. But you know how much I'm saving by not buying the brand name one and buying the one from Dollar Tree. $1070. These are still $1.25 at Dollar Tree. They sell these everywhere.

[00:44:28]I've seen them at Walmart. I've seen them at Home Depot. Don't get fancy with this. I mean, the only thing you might want to get a little bit fancier, depending on what surface you're doing, is maybe the sponge, like a door or like cabinets where the sponge needs to be a really good one. God bless you.

[00:44:46]Then fine. But it's the same thing. The gloves, it's the same thing. This roller, it's the same thing. And this, this one's wonky. So the Dollar Tree one, you get these two little sponges.

[00:45:01]And then the brand name one is giving you a pretty nice brush, too. The Dollar Tree gives you this tiny one. Is that worth an extra $10 to you? And then you're getting your sponges. The brand name one is softer. It has this curved top there. This one's going to matter for the surface. This one's a good one.

[00:45:22]This one's just like textured walls where you're not going to see what's left over once the paint dries. Then you can do this or like a project that you really don't care about. Dollar Tree has them. So, there is a bit that much of a quality difference.

[00:45:38]Why do I try to sell you on I don't know because at sometimes I don't think it's that serious. Look how fancy that is.

[00:45:45]That's a good one. I'm saying $9 max for this kit would have been fine. I'm not paying 12 bucks for it. That's a lot.

[00:45:53]I'll go to Dollar Tree, buy two of these, and cycle through it for two 250.

[00:45:57]That's pretty good. So, I'm going to give the brand name painting kit four Vivian heads. One Vivian head off for price. And I'm going to give the Dollar Tree painting kit two Vivian heads. I know I just convinced you to buy it and gave it two Vivian heads, but I need you to have the right expectations when you buy it. Right? When you buy it, you go, "It's two Vivian heads. It's okay. It's a quick project. We're all on the same page.
