I'm a Dollar Store Whore!

        

Hello, my name is Khira Mainor-Cozart, and I'm a Dollar Store Whore.  So what!  I am not ashamed to admit this.  There are some pretty awesome things in there, you just gotta know how to navigate and stay focused.  Everyone all over YouTube seems to have covered every in and out of the storage aspect, taking full advantage of their extensive office supply isle so I'm not going to really talk much about that.  I will mention, however, that the home decor section does offer some more eye catching alternatives for vanity storage if you keep an open mind.  

Another often overlooked isle is the school supply section.  I have found very cute Multi-colored mesh bags with zip closures in various sizes that turn my purse into a palace, giving everything it's own space.  The best part is that they are completely see through, making it super-easy to find what you're looking for.  There is also a wide selection of loose glitter that can be used in various "glamouratti" looks, and you tend to get more for the money with several different types having multiple colors in one package.  Last but certainly not least, I love the kid-size rolls of clear tape to use on keeping my more dramatic eye looks clean.  It's the perfect width, and it tends not to be as sticky as regular tape, making it much more comfortable to remove upon completion.  Below I have listed a few of my favorite makeup finds.  The key to mastering Dollar Store shopping is to know your brands and what to look for.  Enjoy yourself, have fun, and don't be afraid to splurge!
