Dollar Store Deals

Have you ever shopped at one, a Dollar Store, or 99 Cents Store, as some are also called?  I have and do on a regular basis!  I always find some great buys there!  Sometimes, I even discover things that I might have never thought of using, for my home or kitchen or even myself!  Now those are always a great find for a curvy diva on a budget!

In fact, on my last trip, I scored Maybelline's New York Define-A-Brow in Dark Brown/Brun Fonce' - only $1!!

Maybelline's Define-a-Brow pencil - still a bargain for $5.69 at Drugstore.com

 In the past I've scored Victoria's Secret lip gloss; L.A. Colors glossy lipgloss in Butterscotch;  a variety of mascaras, and beautiful  nail colors from Sally Hansen! You just have to know how and what to buy.  I read an article at allure.com raving about what else?  The Dollar Store!

Here are some of their tips on how to score amazing dollar store deals and what to steer clear of:

In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
