Woman finds unopened makeup

A woman went viral after she found a ton of boxes of makeup, brand new and sealed at a CVS dumpster. 

“So, I’m dumpster diving at CVS, and there’s a tonne of L’Oreal and Maybelline boxes here,” the woman explained, revealing dozens of makeup boxes on the ground. 

The TikToker’s local CVS store had just closed down, which led to some speculation that this may be unsold stock. 

After she arrived home, she gave viewers a closer look at some of the items she’d taken from the boxes. These included everything from foundation, to lipsticks, to concealers, nail polishes, and even some eye shadow palettes. 

People weigh in on woman’s CVS dumpster discovery

After it was posted on the platform, the video gained over 5 million views, with many people shocked by the woman’s discovery. 

“What does it feel to live my dream?” one asked, followed by a series of crying emojis.

“I worked at a CVS once and it closed, so I filled a box with gift bags, gift paper, and happy birthday cards, then threw it away and went to get it at night lol,” one shared.

“I wouldn’t be going through it all. I’d take them all and resell what I don’t use,” another wrote.

One had a suggestion for the video’s poster: “Make up little kits for the homeless or the women’s shelter/ Red Cross or any organization for people in poverty.”

Another TikToker went viral, when they claimed Walmart self-checkouts are ‘turned-off’ to manipulate customers.
