Delicious and creative snacks aren’t the only quality items Trader Joe’s has to offer. The beauty section is renowned for its affordable dupes of many popular body and skin care brands’ products. The variety of enticing scents, such as the leave-in conditioner and lip masks, makes buying these products enjoyable. These products are arranged in ascending order from lowest to highest ranking.
No. 1: Leave in Conditioner
After misting through damp hair, buyers will find that Trader Joe’s Leave-in Conditioner makes untangling fairly easier and will leave your hair with a silky, smooth texture. This product is listed at 5.99 dollars for six fluid ounces and is designed to moisturize hair and smooth frizz, offering heat damage protection for up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Immediately after applying, you will detect the conditioner’s pleasant fragrance, which contains floral and fruit notes with a base of bergamot and white musk. Unfortunately, we’ve found the product to be more heavy and drying than light and moisturizing, but its detangling aspect, along with its pleasant scent and heat protection, earns it three out of five feathers.
No. 2: Vanilla Lip Mask
The Trader Joe’s Vanilla Lip Mask has a thick and silky blend that feels and smells amazing. The lip mask is priced at 5.99 dollars for 0.7 ounces of product and is packaged in a short, cylindrical container. This lip mask has been compared to high-end lip masks like the Laneige lip mask, though those products can cost up to 25 dollars. The directions say to apply the mask as needed to moisturize and soothe dry lips, and the mask does just that; it keeps your lips hydrated without feeling too sticky. The warm vanilla scent is perfect for those who enjoy something sweet, but may not be as enjoyable for those who want something with a more subtle aroma on their lips. Overall, this product deserves four out of five feathers due to its long-lasting hydration abilities and refreshingly sweet scent.
No. 3: Brazil Nut Body Mist
This product is perfect for somebody who loves the Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut collection but doesn’t want all the moisturizing factors that come with the body butter or oil. The delicious scent has many similarities to the popular body care company Sol de Janeiro’s classic No. 62 body mist. However, it comes at a much cheaper price. With its nutty and sweet notes, the scent is cozy and refreshing, and its applicator makes the product easy to apply. Unfortunately, its two downsides are that the scent does not last very long and is not individually sold. The mist can be found in a trio set with body butter and oil, each with the same Brazil nut theme, at a total price of 12.99 dollars. Overall, despite not being sold individually, the delicious Brazil Nut Body Mist is worth a try and earns a final rating of four out of five feathers.
No. 4: Brazil Nut Body Butter
The Brazil Nut Body Butter is a thick lotion, perfect for leaving long-lasting moisture and scent on any skin type. The lotion has a mouth-watering scent with notes of caramel, pistachio, and vanilla, similar to the other products sold within the trio. Unlike the body mist, it will leave you smelling great all day long. The product can be bought individually priced at 5.99 dollars for eight fluid ounces. The body butter earns a final rating of five out of five feathers and is a great product.
No. 5: Brazil Nut Body Oil
Currently available individually for a limited time, buyers can get a four-fluid-ounce bottle of the body oil for 6.99 dollars. Previously, you could only purchase this product in a gift set with the body butter and body mist, so it being sold separately is great for customers who want only this product. With the same scent as the body butter, the body oil is even more hydrating with a base of sunflower, olive, macadamia, brazil nut, and jojoba oil. With this extra hydrating base, Trader Joe’s Body Oil is meant to leave your skin feeling soft and looking shiny all day long. Overall, this product earns itself a rating of five out of five feathers.
No. 6: Hair Oil
Sold for 5.99 dollars, Trader Joe’s hair oil is a popular product amongst customers and is available for purchase in both stores and online. Described as “salon-quality,” reviewers view the oil as an inexpensive dupe for other popular yet expensive hair oils like the Ouai Hair Oil and the Olaplex No. 7 Hair Oil, both of which can cost up to 30 dollars for about the same amount of product. This oil contains argon oil, moringa seed oil, chia seed oil, and vitamin E and has a heat protectant ability of up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the same as similar high-end oils. The Trader Joe’s hair oil is great for taming flyaways and reducing frizz while being lightweight and not making hair appear greasy, earning this product five out of five feathers.
