What’s In My Trash? July 2024

Another not great month but alot less came into the stash this month so that is a good thing very slowly inching towards my goal but I do not see myself meeting it at all.

Dermelect Outcrease Retinol Trifecta Serum I don’t think this did much and I couldn’t tell but I think it was breaking me out. It was really oily too which was odd for a retinol.

Repurchase: No

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum this didn’t really do anything at all.

Repurchase: No

Kaja Mist Me Hydrating Face Mist in 01 Pina Colada really didn’t like this it was really heavy feeling and it didn’t smell like pina colada.

Repurchase: No

Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm I don’t really like this It is too Vaseline like and I don’t like the texture. It also isn’t great at getting makeup off.

Repurchase: No

Kiehl’s Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate I never get a big enough sample to know if this is really working but it has a odd almost grainy but dry kinda of texture.

Repurchase No

Earth Therapeutics Soft & Smooth Gentle Peeling Foot Mask I did this a few days ago and so far no peeling so not very thrilled.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hanukkah these smell so good very sweet and donut-y.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Squeezeable Wax in Dreamhouse this was more floral than I wanted it to be and it has been so hot this basically stayed liquid even without the warmer on.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Rainbow Confetti Candle this smelled like rice crispie treats.

Repurchase: Maybe

Vaseline Lip Therapy Original I really enjoyed this it was very smooth and nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Tree Hut Shave Oil in Sparkling Sugar love this will buy and try every scent I get a great close shave with this.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Exfoliating Body Wash in Beach You Off I didn’t love the texture or the scent of this it was really thick and hard to lather.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Perfume Oil in Summer Girl this smelled really good and it did smell summery beachy and fruity.

Repurchase: Maybe, these are hard because they are limited edition so you rarely can ever get them again.

Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier Divine this smelled really sexy and it was good but I am not really a sexy perfume person so I have mixed feelings.

Repurchase: No

Bare Minerals Mineralist Lip Gloss Balm in Sincerity so sticky.

Nyx Shout Loud Lipstick in Red Haute pretty color but it just slides around way to much.

Repurchase: Maybe

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Firming Collagen Cream this was heavy but I started it when my skin was freaking out because I knew this would be gentle.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask this are absurdly expensive I don’t love them they are very thick and have a ton of serum and I find they stay on decent and I can wear them for a long time but I don’t think they are worth the price. I will use them when I have them but I would not go out of my way to get these.

Repurchase: Yes

Tsaio Chamomila Facial Wash Foam I could cut this open and get a ton more but I hated it so much that once I couldn’t squeeze it anymore it had to go. It was so thick and really hard to foam up and really didn’t make my skin feel clean.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Jart+ DermaClear Micro Makeup Remover (4) these are good at removing make up for sure but stings like hell if it gets in your eyes.

Repurchase: No

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in BFF’S this is my preferred brand of hand sanitizer and I I use them all the time.
