What’s in My Trash? June 2023

nightmareb4

Another month where every number either didn’t change or went down I am so excited about that.

Skincare (12)

Shiseido Urban Environment Age Defense SPF 42 this is fine. It doesn’t break me out which is a big plus but this would get in my eyes and sting really bad. This has a nice dry feel though which I really like.

Repurchase: Maybe

Beekman 1802 Golden Booster Amla Berry Vitamin C Brightening Serum this is fine I wouldn’t buy it again it is too small for the price and the packaging makes it hard to get every last drop out and it a clear bottle so it isn’t protecting the integrity of the Vitamin C.

Repurchase: No

Bliss Drench & Quench All Day Moisture Serum this was fine it is just a hydrating serum it was fine.

Repurchase: Maybe

Pickle’s Potion Strawberry Cleanse Balm I don’t really know where this came from but it was actually really nice and gentle in the shower and maybe my skin feel good.

Repurchase: No

Cover Fx Invisible Primer SPF 30 I never really used this as a primer under make up I just used it as a blurring sunscreen I really liked it a lot but I think it has been discontinued and it was expensive.

Repurchase: No

NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth these are my favorite face wipes but at $2 a wipe I only use them as a treat.

Repurchase: No but I would if I got them for free I love them.

Supergoop Every.Single.Face Watery Lotion SPF 50 this I did not like it was chunky and watery.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Cozy Hot Chocolate Skin Smoothing Peel Off Mask this made my skin feel soft but it was messy and drippy and super fragranced.

Repurchase: No

Essence Hello, Good Stuff! Milky Face Moisturizer  I didn’t like this it was very milk and didn’t blend in or absorb into my skin well.

Repurchase: No

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer UV this was very thick not a fan.

Repurchase: No

Tony Moly Peach Punch Cleansing Tissue these were pretty soapy and I don’t prefer that in my wipes. They smelled really nice though.

Repurchase: No

Urban Decay Quick Fix Hydra Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray this is my favorite facial spray but it is really pricey and there are just cheaper ones to fit my needs.

Repurchase: Maybe

Random (1)

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Oh, Pool Boy! These are pretty much the only hand sanitizers I use and I like them. If I ever run through my stash of these I probably will buy more.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Honey Nut Cheerios Milk Bottle Candle just working my way through these candles that I don’t like.

Repurchase: No

Count Chocula Marshmallow Candle this was so so good I don’t even care that much that you can’t burn these all the way through because of it being in a mason jar because they smell so good and burn for a long time. I wish I knew the name of the seller. I home I find them at a con again some day.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (1)

Covergirl Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara in 105 Black this was very unimpressive it did nothing special at all.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Fresh Milk Hand Cream this did kinda smell like milk not in a super unpleasant way but not in a way I liked either. It was also pretty greasy.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

VS Coco Wash Coconut Oil Moisturizing Cream Body Wash this had no scent and I never really fely clean after using it. There is probably one more use in there but I couldn’t get it out and I don’t care enough to cut it open.

Repurchase: No

Body Prescriptions Body Scrub in Apple of my Pie this was a really good scrub I got a tone of uses out of it I would totally buy more from this brand if I saw it again at Marshall’s.

Repurchase: Yes

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in Coconut Lime I use this all the time this is my favorite stuff to shave with.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (5)

Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam Cleanse + Smooth this never really made my hair feel clean but it did help it smell freshly wash and helped a little to make it easier to style when it was dirty but this is not a thing I regularly need it took me like a year and a half to use.

Repurchase: No

FCS Hair Oil in Dead & Breakfast I could literally cry because this is gone. It smelled like fruit loops and it was so good. I love their hair oils I find them very moisturizing.

Repurchase: Yes

Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair (x2) I needed both tubes of this to cover all my hair. I really don’t think this did anything for my hair. It smelled nice though.

Repurchase: No

Hask Argan Oil Repairing Deep Conditioner this was just fine I prefer the Marc Anthony ones for sure if you are looking for a cheap packet hair mask.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Blinc Ultra Volume Tubing Mascara I haven’t really decluttered that much this year but I used this twice and I hated it. It was hard to apply it clumped really bad it was hard to remove it took my eyelashes with it when I removed it. Just no.

Used alot up this month really doing well on my numbers too so yay.

I am finally caught up to where I should be for my goals for the year. Hurray. I also went on vacation this month so there are a lot of emptys that I just don’t have pictures of and stuff because I am not crazy enough to bring trash home or meticulously track it when I’m supposed to be having fun.

Skincare (7)

Lovinah Blue Butterfly Stem Cell Deep Hydration Mask this is nice it was hydrating my skin looked really nice after but it it far too expensive.

Repurchase: No

Babor Ampoule Concentrate Perfect Glow I don’t like these I think the packaging is wasteful excessive and a little dangerous having to snap these glass vials and the glass is sharp. This left me glowy but not so glow that I would spend $40+ a week to use this every day.

Repurchase: No

Farmacy Bright On Vitamin C Mask I didn’t really care for this it was super sticky and hard to wash off but it did brighten my skin temporarily.

Repurchase: No

FCS Midnight Rose Charcoal Mask I don’t particularly like charcoal masks any more I find them pretty harsh and really annoying to wash off.

Repurchase: No

Vichy H.A. Serum this was just a hylaronic serum nothing really that special it was nice.

Repurchase: No, I would buy the cheaper one from the Ordinary

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops I really like these not as much as I like other Glow Recipe products but it is nice. It feels really nice and dewy and light on my skin. I don’t feel like it has enough  actives to justify the price for me though.

Repurchase: No

Philosophy Nature in a Jar Cica Complex Recovery Moisturizer this is too thick for me not the kind of moisturizer I like but if you have really damaged or irritated skin I think this would be really nice it is thicker more balm like.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Klean Freak Body Wipe in Lavender I love having body wipes on hand for when you just need a quick something to feel refreshed but can’t exactly jump in the shower. I really liked this one it was big it didn’t rip it also didn’t leave me sticky like a lot of wipes can and it smelled really nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Candle in Toasted Pineapple Marshmallow this had no scent throw I was super disappointed.

Repurchase: No

FCS Scent Diffuser in Flying Monkeys this was a really good scent but it just is messy to use I am currently using these in place of wallfowers and hanging them up you have to flip these over and soak the wooden cap. It works but it is a mess.

Repurchase: No

Lip (3)

Hempz Ultra Moisturizing Herbal Lip Balm I hated this hated the flavor and this wasn’t really moisturizing it was more like Aquaphor but didn’t hang around.

Repurchase: No

Dionis Goat Milk Lip Balm in Milk & Honey I like these they last a long time they are more of that thicker traditional balm feeling so they stick around for awhile in on my lips the flavors are good. They don’t melt super easy in my car.

Repurchase: Yes

Carmex Lip Balm I love carmex I love the feeling of it and the menthol flavor.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (1)

Benefit The Porefessional Super Setter this was a really good setting spray for setting makeup it does help it last.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lotion (1)

Vitabath Body Cream in Pomegranate Bellini Blush this was fine smelled nice was very thin.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Vacation Classic Spray SPF 50 Sunscreen I like the way this sunscreen smells and I though I liked it. I’ve used up a whole can before but using it every day on a cruise I found it really sticky as io was reapplying and took forever to dry and got kinda weird touching my close and just really messy will not re buy. I have one more like mostly full can to go through and then no more.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Luxurious Cleansing Body Wash in Verbena + Lemon Grass this I hated the scentl was just not that great I didn’t feel that clean after.

Repurchase: No

Moroccan Oil Night Body Serum this isn’t pictured because I dropped it and it shattered I really hate oils being packaged in glass so unsafe for me. This was a nice enough serum it was smooth and hydrating felt nice really enjoyed it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Perfume (7)

FCS Perfume Oil in Way Fetch this was nice I didn’t enjoy the shimmer though. I am trying to work through my perfumes rollerballs I have so many.

What’s in My Trash? April 2023

I was so close to catching up this month 36 cents was all I needed to be back on track. That is like the definition of annoying.

Skincare (8)

Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment io have no idea why this is so expensive. This was fine but I don’t really think it did anything amazing.

Repurchase: No

Bare Minerals Ageless 10% Phyto-Retinol Night Concentrate this was fine. I liked it I don’t like it as much as a regular retinol.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Green Tea I like these having a spray just feels like a nice ending step to my skincare routine and these are cheap I don’t think they really are beneficial in anyway though.

Repurchase: Yes

Upcircle Eye Cream this was just an eye cream nothing special and not suited to my needs this is more suited for someone much younger.

Repurchase: No

belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb really didn’t like this it was heavy but not moisturizing and kinda sticky and just was not right for me at all.

Repurchase: No

Strivectin Advanced Retinol Eye Cream this was good I really liked it also when you think this is empty cut it open I had like 3 weeks of cream left.

Repurchase: Maybe

Trader Joe’s Watermelon Overnight Face Mask I thought this would be a dupe for the Glow Recipe one and it is not it is very sticky and doesn’t do anything.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask this left me feeling very sticky an a little irritated.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirent in Sheer Cool this is good I like these I go through phases where I use Dove and phases where I use Degree.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (5)

Honey Nut Cheerios Candle this was not good.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Pink Lemonade this was officially my last one of these and at the moment I have no intention of buying more. I might buy a Christmas one when Christmas comes and I have a lot of guests but I just don’t think these are impactful enough.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle Grapefruit + Sage I really hated the scent of this but it did have a really strong throw.

Repurchase: No

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Candle no scent throw these were just a fail I got suckered in with the cute jars.

Repurchase: No

Lichen & Limestone Candle in Hampden College this had a great crackle to it and a really dark academia woodsy library scent. My biggest problem with these is that the wicks are glued down properly so they travel and you can’t burn these all they way through like I would like to.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Fresh Sugar Infusion Lip Treatment in Citrus Rush I love these lip balms but for $24 I don’t love this as much as the mint one. They are so creamy and nice and smooth and perfection but they don’t last forever on the lips I run through them pretty fast. These really are only a treat product.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Victoria Secret Mega Moisture Foam Coconut Oil Moisturizing Body Mousse this was a mess the foam dispenser didn’t work well it was kinda greasy and because the spray sprayed everywhere I found out that this would stain things it touched like a white/pink color. All around fail.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Body Lotion White Chocolate this smelled like chocolate which was nice. But the lotion was sticky and not that great at moisturizing but the scent was great.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Andrew Fitzsimmons Hair Conditioner Prism I liked this fine but I don’t know that I would repurchase this in favor of trying something new.

Repurchase: No

Ashea Restore Hair Treatment I hated the process of using it it was so thick like a solid and really hard to work through my hair and really hard to rinse out but it did leave my hair really nice and soft so kinda a love hate with this one.

Repurchase: Maybe I got this at a random farmers market near my house so I don’t know if I can ever find it again.

Getting closer hopefully I can get ahead in May. I was very meh about everything this month.
