Explore what's hot in your store
You know the feeling... you're meandering through the mall with a coffee in hand and you stumble upon it, the discount department store! It's a treasure hunt and you're on the hunt for luxury skincare, makeup, and a bunch of other things you don't need 😉
From sheet masks to lipsticks and candles to makeup storage, leave your discount department store finds below!
@HunterKathleen I tend to grab a lot of sheet masks, so those are individually packaged items. Like others have said, I only grab non sealed items if they’re in the clear locked boxes.
I hear you! I generally stay away from products that aren't either individually sealed or in the tamper proof containers....and even then I check to see if it looks like it's been tampered with. I've skipped out or put back many things because I just wasn't sure...better to be safe than sorry.
I don't think I've ever actually seen stuff in tamper-proof containers at TJ Maxx! Unless it was a high-priced electronic, in which cased it's almost always behind glass. Maybe my TJ Maxx stores just suck lol.
@HunterKathleen , That's a huge bummer! A lot is just out in the open at mine, but the better eyeshadow palettes and more expensive skin care tend to either be in the plastic containers or with this wire/wrap kind of thing with a sensor on it. I still even check those though because one time I got something that clearly had been opened even though it was in a sealed container.
Goodness... It's amazing how determined some people are to ruin products like that. Like, all the effort you put in to remove the tamper-proofing and you didn't even like the palette enough to buy it?!
I figured as much, so I've always wondered why products that have CLEARLY been opened and used get left on the shelves? I would think that at closing they would at least take away damaged product from the shelves. Unless they just don't care about the unsanitary conditions of their products and wanna make as much money as possible (always a possibility, though a sad one).
@HunterKathleen Same, it’s an epidemic! About my pictures below...I’m in store wading through the mess trying to find decent items. I look up and see a woman openly applying the Smashbox x Casey Holmes highlighter palette to her face. She is going to town with her fingers. She sees me watching and says “ Ya know, sometimes these things aren’t what they say on the outside” She wanted to commiserate with me! I just walked off in stunned silence. I like to photograph what’s out there, but I don’t buy a majority of it because it’s been tampered with. I don’t even look at the lotions anymore 🙄
I just audibly gasped in horror. No!! Oh my god. The AUDACITY... Swatch at stores that offer it!!
@HunterKathleen I’m usually just on the hunt for sheet masks, which are individually packaged. I find a lot of wash off masks there but I make sure they are sealed before checking out.
Otherwise I wait for the free shipping deals👍🏼
Yeah, I’ve never seen anything wrong with the individual sealed products thankfully! But that’s all I would buy from them, and maybe hair products because those aren’t usually messed with too much aside from being opened to smell.
That sucks! I know if I found a really amazing product or brand I love I’d probably buy 2 if they were available so I had a back-up, but buying ALL of them? Come on. Rude. Leave some for the rest of us!
@HunterKathleen I never find anything good at my closest stores either☹️
Oh trust me, I finally plenty of good stuff. But it looks like the entire corner of the store housing beauty products has been hit by a category 5 hurricane. Palettes have the boxes ripped open and swatched, lip products are leaking all over the place, moisturizers and creams have clearly been dipped into by dozens of sets of fingers... Once I found a KVD palette that had hit pan in every single shade. My local TJ Maxx stores are lawless wastelands and I have no idea how they make any money on cosmetics. I refuse to believe people are actually buying clearly used makeup from them. Yuck!
Yay, you got one of the dreamduos! Glad your store had it, @sonnydee!
I, indeed got lucky @quspork they had one. I thought it would be a tad cheaper (it was 39.99) but still better than $59
Great shopping, @sonnydee! My little masker brings the DE products to me asking, “Can I use this? Just a little bit?” It’s the eye stuff too, I was saving that for me. It’s gotta be the packaging.
