here's a walmart pro tip for witch hazel: walmart carries witch hazel at two different price points. the higher priced is found in the beauty section, and the the cheaper priced is found in the first aid section. exactly the same witch hazel at two very different prices.
Viv maybe the moisture test shows you how much extra WATER they add to their product?? Maybe not a good thing to have more moisture on the paper test???
I just love your videos! Even if I can´t buy any of those products here in germany, I will never stop watching you, because you are a ray of sunshine. Greetings from sleepy northern germany in the middle of the night
As someone with chronic dry skin, my dermatologist always recommended moisturizers that absorb quicker. The wipes made the dollar tree side rub off cause it had more moisture to begin with. I love when u do these videos, always helping us save some coins.
Let me give you all a pro tip on the dry shampoo. Baby powder works better than any of those pricy dry shampoos and has a way better cost and brings a lot more product to the party lol
I use the Aveeno and I want a moisture barrier. Keeps moisture in. I’m suuuuuper dry and sensitive. Fragrance is a no and absorption is a no for people with my skin issues. Thanks Vivian!!! ❤
I had a coworker turn me on the the Dollar Tree Aveeno knock off. I had super dry, sore, chapped hands and it worked wonders. I liked that it absorbed in because it didn't leave my hands filmy/greasy.
I feel if a product is more watery then yes it will absorb better but also dry out by how much water content is in it, that means it will evaporate off the skin if it doesnt have oils or some type of exclusives to lock it in that’s why Aveeno is thicker and richer cuz it does what it needs to.
Your uploads are always so entertaining, I enjoy them a lot, plus they are very informative and I trust your opinion (I've synched with you since a while ago with the amount of Vivian heads you give). Thank you, Vivian!
The smell of witch Hazel to me is nostalgic and I love it. My grandma used it for blemishes and sunburns on me….because back then we didn’t know better about being in the sun and how bad sun burns are for us
1:12 the oatmeal lotion (Kissable Oatmeal Soothing Hydration Body Lotion) at our local Dollar Tree and Dollarama claims to be Fragrance-Free and is! Maybe it depends where you shop? Mine are located in the GTA region of Ontario, Canada & it’s made here too
I love watching your channel! Recently you’ve been editing too much. Your comments are the best part. It’s fun to see you act silly and laugh. Don’t edit that out. I felt like it was all too fast. 😅
Honestly, I would watch you review stuff if you were sitting on a ditch bank, but look at you with your scientific gadgets!! I did not think your reviews needed anything more, but I am impressed!! Thank you for the in depth reviews!! Love ya girl! Keep ‘em coming!!
Thanks so much for aw you're awesome videos. And just an FYI for any witch hazel users Walmart has a generic witch hazel brand like where the alcohol and peroxide is and it's only like a dollar or somewhere around there and it has exactly the same ingredients as the brand name kind. It has a faint set of witch hazel but not overpowering but the brand name one smells exactly the same anyway. Anyhows thanks again girl! Much love, G💜🤗😘
I’m going to go buy that carpet cleaner. We have pets which always make some kind of mess on the carpet. (They are house trained, they are natural mess makers). Thanks Vivian!
Hi Vivian, Just stumbled across your channel and wanted to comment on the carpet cleaning solution. Even though the name brand can is bigger you can still buy two of dollar tree products and come out cheaper with possibly more.
The difference in the first product is that you're comparing lotion to cream. They are different textures and weights, they absorb at different rates and treat different skin issues.
Viv love your videos!!! The Dollar Tree Oatmeal lotion is measuring a higher degree of moisture and soaking into the paper quicker because it has more water content. It’s the “water” that dries out our skin.
I'll stick with the Aveeno brand one 😆 I agree with Dollar Tree scents. They need some major help with it because a lot of their products are pretty decent.
Dry shampoo just announced recalls on alot of them due to cancer causing ingrediant....idk cause I don't use it but FYI incase someone out there uses them do your research. Love you girl great vid stay beautiful 😘
for skin...use refind coconut oil found in the cooking section (at Aldi's $5) this is all natural and works for dry lips/skin. also for dry skin it could be a iodine deficiency issue or vitamins & mineral deficiency issue. see Dr David brownstein iodine vids and for vitamin/mineral deficiency issues see Dr berg vids.
I do watch Dr. Dray, dermatologist on TH-cam, and she frequently goes through Dollar Tree, looking at ingredients, etc. and making recommendations. There are really a lot of great products available there! I do look at the ingredients, and it's just up to me if I don't like a scent, or if I try it for $1.25 and don't like it enough to buy again.
I think the DT products scored higher on the moisture tests because they contain more water. But I think the water in the lotion is not necessarily a bad thing, the best time to put lotion on is when you are still wet from bathing. The witch hazel, no way I would buy unless it’s pure.
My daughter lives in Phoenix and loves bougie she swears she finds the best dry shampoo at her dollar tree it has a silver can with green writing can't remember the name
Omg, I watch your videos always! Don' t like when I miss one. U r so awesome and funny, and let us know so much about the products. I enjoy u so much..u always keep me laughing! God bless u for making my day so happy. Keep your videos coming. 🥰💚🙏
Love your giggle. Not sure which state you're in but I'm up here in London Ont. Canada and Dollar Tree is now Dollar Fifty Tree here and sadly we don't have half of the selection of products that you have there. Great segment as always.
Honest question here, not being sassy at all... is the moisture reader telling you how much water is in the product? Wouldnt the higher moisture readings then be considered a negative? That's also why it "absorbed" into the paper better... because it's mostly water? I absolutely love you and your gid3os! Your personality has me laughing and smiling no matter how bad my day was prior to watching your videos. Your product comparisons are very thorough and I love how you show ys your entire testing process on video rather than how most youtubers just tell us which product they like better without actually showing us how they came to that conclusion. KEEP IT UP GIRLY!!! ❤️
You gotta pick up the hair and then spray the dry shampoo on the roots only and then mix in your hair. I think the dollar tree one might be fabulous used that way
The dollar tree aveeno knockoff has more water than aveeno. That’s why it’s more transparent and would explain the higher moisture content. Aveeno has more oils resulting in a creamy texture
Aveeno is the BEST! It also does NOT cause blemishes on your face and it moistens your skin ALL OVER and lasts a long time! Dollar Store items are so watery. Sad and they will cause blemishes.
Dear companies.............just take ALL scents out of stuff!! I can't use Gain, Bounce, anything scented! Especially Swiffer wet pads!!!! OMG.....they're the WORST! I have a small house, and any smelly stuff I use smells up the entire house. But it's so hard to find fragrance free anything! And all products have to list their highest quantity ingredient first on their labels in this country. So the Witch Hazel from Dollar Tree is mostly water. Love your vids.
🛑 FYI 🛑 Warning I moved into my mom's house to take care of her. My dog became really sick. Her liver shut down! The Vet said she was poisoned.... Determined to be carpet cleaner my mom ONLY sprayed and NEVER vacuumed up!!! 😡😢 She wouldn't listen, saying it was her house and carpet! 🤬 Please be careful with ALL chemical products in the home if you have pet's. Even essential oils, lot's are poisonous
My fave dollar store items: contouring and highlight sticks from la colors, micellar water, EOS style shave lotion, Teeth whitening tray and gel, dry shampoo.
So happy I found your channel your voice is soothing for my “high mileage” brain (Doc says we no longer use “Old” as a descriptor of injury we use “High Mileage” or “Gravity” as to why you are visiting today.) Now that I have shared my humor for the day I have completely forgotten what I was going to tell you… 😂😂😂
Im all for saving money, but if I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times, your skin is NOT what you want to skimp on. My skin is a diva, and she demands quality. Ive had too many dollar tree body care mishaps to trust their skin care products. I’ll go all in on everything else at a discount though. Just spend that coin on your skin and hair!
Omg! Thanks Vivian! If I can save money I will definitely save. Living in Santa Barbara California is costly & finally we have a dollar tree & Target store's here. They are very small store's but happy we have them.
Very good points. If made in USA I'll try the knock offs. If not I'll pay a higher price. I won't buy beauty products, food, or meds from China. Great video.
I buy those wipes for my man at DT. 😆 the way he uses them it's not worth buying them for 4-5$ a pack. I've also tried the dry shampoo. It's actually ok and the green one smells great. And from what stylist say you're supposed to spray the oily spots rub it in, then blow dry.
here's a walmart pro tip for witch hazel: walmart carries witch hazel at two different price points. the higher priced is found in the beauty section, and the the cheaper priced is found in the first aid section. exactly the same witch hazel at two very different prices.
Thank you so very much
Oh. Thank you very much. This is genius.
Same with the castor oil,2 bucks in the laxative section and 10 bucks in the beauty section.
@@christine7956 Wow, you are kidding me? Can't believe that. Thanks so much for sharing
Certain things are found in more than one place. They usually have two different prices.
I'm a cranky lil crusty crab today. I'm going to hide under the covers and watch Vivian
Hope you feel better
Same!
Feel better. 😘
Vivian cured my Halloween Sunday scaries
Same girl, sameeee
On the oatmeal lotion, Walmart does a knock-off that is pretty much identical to the Aveeno. I really recommend it.
Go Equate brand everything since Equate is a exact duplicate of whatever product they claim right on the product they are recreating
Viv maybe the moisture test shows you how much extra WATER they add to their product?? Maybe not a good thing to have more moisture on the paper test???
If I'm not mistaken the true original dry shampoo was "Psssssst" I know we had it in our house in the 70's.
So happy I get to end the weekend with my girl Vivian! Love the videos, keep them coming and I'll be here watching!!! ☺❤
I enjoy watching Vivian I totally appreciate her taking time for her videos
Go Vivian!
Vivian you need a show, you are a vibe all by yourself!!!! # I give this message 5 Vivian heads!!!!😂❤❤

pro tip: use dry shampoo on clean dry hair for texture and to prevent oils instead of trying to get rid of oils when they’re already there 💛
Your absolutely right. Dry shampoo gives you alot more body and texture when it's clean. Love it.❤️
Let me give you all a pro tip on the dry shampoo. Baby powder works better than any of those pricy dry shampoos and has a way better cost and brings a lot more product to the party lol
I like to use cornstarch in place of dry shampoo 😀
That’s fine if you have blonde hair - but baby powder turned my dark brunette hair grey 😂 I looked like my grandma 🙅🏻♀️
If you don’t mind a bit of mess add some cocoa powder to the corn starch if you have dark hair, it smells chocolates too.
Breathing in baby powder causes cancer
‼️Check out RECALL notices on some brands of dry shampoo‼️
I use the Aveeno and I want a moisture barrier. Keeps moisture in. I’m suuuuuper dry and sensitive. Fragrance is a no and absorption is a no for people with my skin issues. Thanks Vivian!!! ❤
Came to the comments to say this!! I have eczema and need a barrier cream, so its aveeno for me all day.
Same for me. Aveeno is a skin saver!
I had a coworker turn me on the the Dollar Tree Aveeno knock off. I had super dry, sore, chapped hands and it worked wonders. I liked that it absorbed in because it didn't leave my hands filmy/greasy.
I feel if a product is more watery then yes it will absorb better but also dry out by how much water content is in it, that means it will evaporate off the skin if it doesnt have oils or some type of exclusives to lock it in that’s why Aveeno is thicker and richer cuz it does what it needs to.

Same here
The smell of witch Hazel to me is nostalgic and I love it. My grandma used it for blemishes and sunburns on me….because back then we didn’t know better about being in the sun and how bad sun burns are for us
My gram used it as a toner. And she was the most beautiful human I’ll ever known ❤️
You are truly hysterical to watch. I sit and laugh out loud and you’re saying me money! 5Vivian heads🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Ditto!!!
Agreed!👩🏽👩🏽👩🏽👩🏽👩🏽
I love your energy. You are so amazing & you can make anyone smile. Thank you

Viv Guuuurl! You have me addicted to 💲🌲lol
"Save your 1000 dollars..."....."Pay the 2000 dollars!!". 🤣🤣 Thanks for a great start to a Monday Vivian!!

Girl I love it when you bring out the big guns. Moisture Meter! We know the professional when we select Vivian Tries.
Can I just say I love you Vivian! Your awesome! And you crack me up! And thank you for all your videos!
Regarding the Aveeno/DT comparison: the tubes are cream, the bottles are lotion, so of course, the water level will be different.
omg omg omg I love it when I get here early, I feel like a giddy school girl (except I am old AF irl lol)
Thanks so much for aw you're awesome videos. And just an FYI for any witch hazel users Walmart has a generic witch hazel brand like where the alcohol and peroxide is and it's only like a dollar or somewhere around there and it has exactly the same ingredients as the brand name kind. It has a faint set of witch hazel but not overpowering but the brand name one smells exactly the same anyway. Anyhows thanks again girl! Much love, G💜🤗😘
Never used Witch Hazel and didn't even know what you use it for. Dark face circles. Hello!!! Thanks Vivian!!!
Also helps rashes, bruise’s, like an astringent after washing your face. Personal cleaning wipes and so on.
Oh I believe you have no red wine Vivian, you drank it all!
I’m going to go buy that carpet cleaner. We have pets which always make some kind of mess on the carpet. (They are house trained, they are natural mess makers). Thanks Vivian!
But I do miss hearing you say "Vivian Tries!"
Yep another 🏆. If Vivian don't try it, I don't buy it. Love you Vivian. From NC 🤗💜
Clever tag line! From WA
I like the Aldi oatmeal lotion. It is the same ingredients, much cheaper(although, I don’t remember price exactly), and does not have a scent.
Vivian is leveling up her MF'ing professionalism game!! 😂😂😂
Hi Vivian,
Just stumbled across your channel and wanted to comment on the carpet cleaning solution. Even though the name brand can is bigger you can still buy two of dollar tree products and come out cheaper with possibly more.
You make my day! I love to watch you test these products. Dollar Tree should hire you to change the scents.
last time I was doing quantum physics, I did think to myself, I wish there was some MF Professional online who compared products......
The difference in the first product is that you're comparing lotion to cream. They are different textures and weights, they absorb at different rates and treat different skin issues.
Viv love your videos!!! The Dollar Tree Oatmeal lotion is measuring a higher degree of moisture and soaking into the paper quicker because it has more water content. It’s the “water” that dries out our skin.
I had to go back and check cuz I thought the dude wipes wiped off his eyebrows 🤣🤣🤣
I'll stick with the Aveeno brand one 😆 I agree with Dollar Tree scents. They need some major help with it because a lot of their products are pretty decent.
My daughter suffered from horrible eczema - the allergist recommended that aveeno lotion. She hasn’t had a problem since, use it daily.
Hey Vivian, do some Amazon brands VS Walmart brands
Is the dollar tree lotion gonna make us feel and look like a glazed doughnut? That’s not a cute look. 😆
Isn't that a skin care trend right now? Get your "glass skin" or glazed look at dollar tree!
I have a tube of the DT Aveeno knockoff in my desk at work. Great for keeping my hands moisturized.
Most of us that use oatmeal cream/lotion DO NOT want the fragrance.
It defeats the purpose of using an oatmeal product 😊
CONGRATULATIONS VIVIAN & FAMILY!!! 🎉🎉👶🏻🍼🧸
Dry shampoo just announced recalls on alot of them due to cancer causing ingrediant....idk cause I don't use it but FYI incase someone out there uses them do your research. Love you girl great vid stay beautiful 😘

Why do I add $#*t to my Dollar Tree shopping list everydamtime you post a video?

God bless u for making my day so happy. Keep your videos coming. 🥰💚🙏
I always try to buy unscented because I don’t like a lot of fragrance
Viv, the dry shampoo needs to be held 6 inches from the head, I believe. That eliminates most of the powder.
SENDING YOU MUCH LOVE FROM PUERTO RICO!!😘🙏🍷🍷❤️
I use the oatmeal moisturizer and it works pretty well, especially if you're on a tight budget.
You compared Aveeno cream to dollar tree lotion.
There would be a difference in thickness
@@janbrastineford3080 i was thinking the same thing lotion vs cream
I think Vivian is going to turn into a scientist before long🎃
I could have told you that the DT knockoff of Aveeno does not work.
The Dollar Tree oatmeal lotion, probably has more water……
Love your giggle. Not sure which state you're in but I'm up here in London Ont. Canada and Dollar Tree is now Dollar Fifty Tree here and sadly we don't have half of the selection of products that you have there. Great segment as always.
Smells don't last as long as the discount. Honey please

KEEP IT UP GIRLY!!! ❤️
I think the tube is a cream and the bottle is lotion, which is thinner?
I look forward to your Dollar Store knockoffs for pricier items!
I absolutely love Aveeno lotion, as well as Jergens they work perfectly on me
Resolve is a life saver for me and having fur babies
The aveeno will be better because it locks in moisture
I use that Lucky Witch Hazel from Dollar Tree everyday! Honestly, it's super gentle on my crazy sensitive face.
Oh Goody it’s Vivian time😊
All of the quantum physiatrist? Really Viv?😁😁😁😂❤️
Vivian big recall on alot of dry shampoos. Go just check it out. Saw it on the news yesterday
Congratulations on your promotion to GG!!!
Yay! I'm first!
You gotta pick up the hair and then spray the dry shampoo on the roots only and then mix in your hair. I think the dollar tree one might be fabulous used that way

Fantastic. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.💯💯💯👩🏻👩🏻👩🏻👩🏻👩🏻
OK Vivian, what do you do with all of the products you test? Keep or give away? LOL
Oh my gosh you are my favorite. Everything from the great information to the rating system! (The Vivian heads crack me up! 🤣)
My medicine has arrived!😘💗 MyViv💗
Aveeno is the BEST! It also does NOT cause blemishes on your face and it moistens your skin ALL OVER and lasts a long time! Dollar Store items are so watery. Sad and they will cause blemishes.
In my humble opinion, you need your own tv show!!
Viv! I missed the number of Vivian Heads on the dry shampoo 🙂 Love your videos - just what I need to smile after a crappy day♥
It was 5 Vivian heads
Happy Halloween, Viv-Babes!! Thank you for the years of entertainment! My husband and I adore you!! Xoxo
$ Tree brand lotion has higher water content. Thus the paper is absorbing the water.
The dollar tree micellar water is just as good as garnier.
I love the dollar tree version of aveeno.. they been out lately
Dear companies.............just take ALL scents out of stuff!! I can't use Gain, Bounce, anything scented! Especially Swiffer wet pads!!!! OMG.....they're the WORST! I have a small house, and any smelly stuff I use smells up the entire house. But it's so hard to find fragrance free anything! And all products have to list their highest quantity ingredient first on their labels in this country. So the Witch Hazel from Dollar Tree is mostly water. Love your vids.
I think a barrier is what Aveeno is supposed to be. It’s a protectant.
Dry Shampoo of different brands got RECALLED here in 🇨🇦 Canada. Apparently contaminated with benzene. I would think same for you in usa.
🛑 FYI 🛑 Warning
I moved into my mom's house to take care of her.
My dog became really sick.
Her liver shut down!
The Vet said she was poisoned.... Determined to be carpet cleaner my mom ONLY sprayed and NEVER vacuumed up!!! 😡😢
She wouldn't listen, saying it was her house and carpet! 🤬
Please be careful with ALL chemical products in the home if you have pet's. Even essential oils, lot's are poisonous
I heard a long time ago, the first 5 ingredients is what they have the MOST of in the product. FYI
My fave dollar store items: contouring and highlight sticks from la colors, micellar water, EOS style shave lotion, Teeth whitening tray and gel, dry shampoo.

I love watching you. So funny
