Victoria Sofia (@victoriasofia.m) has nearly 66,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares budget-friendly shopping trips.
She went viral on the social media app when she shared a selection of the best duplicates she discovered at her local Dollar Tree.
“I’ve found some awesome fakes at Dollar Tree lately, but girl, you have to go pretty much every day,” she said.
CHEAP BUYS
As she filmed up and down the aisles, she said it was “crazy” how similar B-Pure’s Revitalizing Moisturizer was to Olay Regenertist, which costs $27.40 at Target.
“They also have these little mini lip oils that remind me of Rare Beauty but better. I love them,” she said.
Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch tinted lip oil sells at Sephora for $20 each.
But at Dollar Tree, the imitations cost only $1.25.
“I found a shea moisturizing shampoo and conditioner,” she continued.

“The real ones are about $11 and $12 at Target and Walmart, but these from Dollar Tree smell so good.
“The deep conditioner, oh my god, I’m going to go back and get it.”
Victoria was delighted to discover towel scrunchies, which could be confused with Kitsch’s quick-drying microfiber scrunchies, sold at Ulta Beauty for $18.
She also found shampoo and conditioner similar to OGX at Target, each costing over $7.
She raved that they were free of parabens and sulfates.
“Then they had a detangling spray that looked like Johnson & Johnson No More Tangles Spray,” she said.
“They had this Persistent Body Acne Wash that reminded me of Neutrogena’s Stubborn Body Acne Wash.
“They had these deodorant sprays for women that reminded me so much of The Honey Pot.”
Victoria discovered eye masks that had similar packaging to those sold by Topicals, but the ingredients were more similar to Pixi’s eye mask.
She compared Dollar Tree’s Vitamin C Lotion to Olay’s Vitamin C Body Lotion, which sells at Walmart for $10.
She also found moisturizers that seemed to be inspired by Cetaphil’s product range.
“They had lavender pillow spray with melatonin that looks exactly like Dr. Teal’s,” she said.
“If you buy anything, please get this blusher. It literally costs $1.25 at Tower 28.”

COSMETICS SPIRIT
Over 123,000 people watched the TikTok video and it received thousands of likes from viewers eager to purchase the products.
Many commenters admitted they had already stocked up on the knockoffs after being surprised by their similarity to more expensive beauty products.
“My skin has never looked so good since I started using the Olay dupes!” one person said.
“The detangling spray is good!!!” wrote another.
“The detangler works better than all the expensive ones I’ve bought,” a third person chimed in.
“Dollar Tree is all the rage lately,” added another.
