A beauty product lover’s perseverance paid off after years of scouring the Dollar Store for skin care bargains.
It wasn’t easy, but the bargain hunter didn’t give up in her search for the imitations of her dreams.
In a now viral video, TikToker Katie Lawson (@klblog), gave viewers a glimpse into her successful shopping adventure.
It took her a few tries, but this time her shopping cart didn’t go home empty-handed. She had three products in it.
“This is absolutely insane,” she said.
Lawson couldn’t believe she had found the three Glow Recipe duplicates for $1.25 each.

Her frugal finds included a B-Pure Glow Up Night Moisturizer, as well as the brand’s Glow Up Toner and even a Glow Up Serum.
The wait seemed to pay off, as the dupes saved her over $100 in total.
A Glow Recipe moisturizer costs $40, a toner is $35, and a selection of serums, including the Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum and the Guava Vitamin C Serum, are available for $45 each.
She knew finding a suitable skincare product was a real challenge after a viewer wrote that she had been looking for these exact dupes “for months.”

“Same! I just found them, don’t give up,” she replied.
And she wasn’t the only one who had luck at her local store.
“I bought a bunch of them yesterday, and also some B-pure Olay knockoffs,” said one onlooker.
“Yes, I like that. I saw the knock-offs of Eos shaving foam today!” she replied.
In another video, she purchased an oil-free acne cleanser from Kissable that she claimed was a knock-off of the Neutrogena Acne Wash.
She paid just $1.25 for the cleanser that normally retails for $9.49.
She knew that Dollar Tree is also a store where you can find everything you need: soda face masks, eyebrow gels, hand lotions, lip balms and cream blush sticks.
During another outing, she shared a video of herself stocking up on even more Olay dupes, including a moisturizer and night cream.
“They had the cream cleanser, the hydrating moisturizer and the night cream, which I know a lot of people use,” she said.
Target sells a line of Olay brand night creams for $15 to $35.
She also added some knock-offs from Cetaphil, Vaseline and eye patches to her shopping cart.
A new shopping trip also paid off for her, with Beautyblender dupes that look like lemons and peaches.
She also scored Kissable Oil-Free Acne Wash, a knockoff of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Moisturizer Extra Dry Skin for $18.
