I’ve bought Olay & Eos dupes at Dollar Tree – but my favorite finds are actually insane
A mum with a keen eye for a bargain has revealed her favourite knock-offs of popular beauty products.
She confessed that she was in a “choke hold” after seeing other TikTokers making amazing finds at Dollar Tree.
Katie Lawson (@klblog) has over 10,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her shopping hauls.
She went viral on the social media app when she unveiled Dollar Tree’s range of products, which falsely make it look like they come from more expensive beauty brands.
“Why would you pay more than $10 for something you can get for $1.25,” she said.
Katie was impressed when she first saw a counterfeit Olay product in the store.
“They had the cream cleanser, the hydrating moisturizer and the night cream which I know a lot of people use,” she said.
Olay’s night cream ranges in price from $15 to $35 at stores like Target.
Olay’s moisturizers also cost up to $35.
“They also have something that looks very much like Welly,” Katie said.

“These are first aid kits, there are 21 pieces in them and they are handy for your wallet.
“I love all the prints they have.”
Cuticle oil, eye patches, fake Vaseline sticks and a “viral mango candy” also caught her eye as she browsed the shelves at Dollar Tree.
“And then some Cetaphil knockoffs,” she said as she picked up the products.
“We have the mild skin cleanser and the moisturizing lotion.
“I found a retinol serum and then a serum stick for under-eye bags.
“These next three are probably my favorite finds, they are Glow Recipe dupes.”
Katie held up a night cream, a serum and a toner, formulated with watermelon extract and hyaluronic acid.
She said the watermelon scent in the products smells “exactly the same” as the Glow Recipe products.
Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Pore Tightening Toner retails for $35 on their website.
“It’s actually insane,” Katie said.
“And moving on to some of Eos’ fake shaving creams, they have vanilla, lavender, and coconut cream.
“These go on so smoothly.”
She finished her shopping trip with body wash products that looked remarkably like Native’s, as well as patches and hair clips.
“Stop what you’re doing and run to the Dollar Tree right now,” she said.
More than 1,300 viewers liked the video, with many expressing their dismay at not being able to find the products in their local stores.
“Wow, you hit the jackpot,” someone said.
“I can’t find the Glow recipe anywhere in Kentucky,” said another.
“I can’t find the Glow Recipe dupes [cyring]wrote a third.
Another noted, “Not all Dollar Trees are created equal, so our store may never get this stuff.”
“I noticed that your DT looks like a department store, ours looks like a junk shop. I don’t like going there.”
