What’s In My Trash? April 2019

nightmareb4

This was a really massive month for empties. I also did a decent declutter of my palettes but I didn’t take a picture and have given all the things I decluttered away oops.

Also I finally got my wax warmer set up again so I had a ton of candles this month because I was able to finally melt the wax out of them.

Skincare (12)

Hey Honey Take it off Exfoliating Peel Off Mask I really liked this it was the least uncomfortable to peel off peel off mask I have ever used and it made my skin feel super soft. I also weirdly really liked that it was clear. This was great. I wish there had been more than one use in this tube.

Repurchase: Maybe

Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads I had a love hate with these they worked really well ad were really gentle to take makeup off but they were so oily they left straight oily grease all over my face that was actually pretty difficult to wash off. So I don’t know about these maybe just to have in an emergency or for travel when bringing and oil cleanser is a hassle but I wouldn’t want these regularly.

Repurchase: Probably not

Borghese Radiante Revitalize and Firm Mask this made my face so oily and greasy I hated it.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator this is a decent micro scrub but I much prefer the Derma E one and would never buy this over that.

Repurchase: No

Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser I didn’t really like this. It was very gentle and doesn’t hurt my eyes but it is nothing special for the price and the packaging drove me nuts. It has like a twist cap that just lets the product pour out but it leaks and makes a mess and ugh.

Repurchase: No

FCS Rosy Cheeks Twinkle Tonic Toner Pads these were just kinda eh I saw no benefits from these.

Repurchase: No

Roc Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream this was a good eye cream, I feel like this is a nice starter retinol/eye cream.

Repurchase: No

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Pore Extractor Exfoliating Clay Mask this is ok but it doesn’t wow me. It dries very hard and gritty and clay like.

Repurchase: No

Yensa Pumpkin Turmeric 2 in 1 Radiance Polishing Mask I didn’t really like this at all it got all separated in the tube so the scrubby bits all sunk to the bottom and clogged up the tube making it impossible to squeeze out so I ended up having to cut it open stir it and then apply this to my face. It smelled strongly like a pumpkin spice latte which I was not super thrilled with like it smelled like a candle. It also kinda felt very warm on my skin. I don’t feel like it exfoliated very well either mostly because of how it separated.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skin Active Clean + Purifying Oil-Free Cleansing Towelettes These were fine I liked the green ones from this line more.

Repurchase: No

Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate I guess this serum was ok it felt nice but I wasn’t able to use it long enough to see if it did anything. I don’t know that this is worth the ridiculous $178 dollar price tag.

Repurchase: No

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream I wanted to like this cream because it does have a nice feel to it and it is supposed to be so great for your skin. It did not work for me at all though. It was way way to heavy for my skin I could not get it to absorb into my skin it would take forever and I ended up mostly just using it on my neck where that bothers me less.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Medusa’s Makeup Lip Paint Remover I didn’t like this at all it worked but it was sticky and tasted terrible and made a huge mess because of it being sticky and getting all over the bottle.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Lil’ Blue OCD Hand Sanitizer these are my favorite hand sanitizers because I feel clean without being dried out and they are always fun colors and smell nice and last me forever.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (10)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Wax Melt in Pink Ladies (I think) I had three of these I have one left the scent on this is not my favorite a little too feminine for me but they aren’t so bad that I won’t use them up.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Sugared Snickerdoodle Candle I liked this a lot it was very warm and sweet with a bit of cinnamon in it. Good scent throw too.

Repurchase: Yes

Vanilla Pumpkin Candle this came from the dollar spot (where nothing is a dollar) at Target I mostly got this because I liked the container it. It had a strong cinnamon scent and for a tiny candle the scent throw wasn’t awful I would pick up these candles again when they are in cute containers but I wouldn’t go out of my way at the same time.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Lavender Cacao Candle I really liked this candle a lot when lavender is mixed with a sweet scent I like it a lot better this so this was a chocolate lavender and it was a really nice sweet and calming scent. The Test Lab candles always have good scents and throws.

Repurchase: Yes, if I could

Dw Home Vanilla Pumpkin Latte this was a great candle it has a wood wick so it crackles as it burns which is so awesome it also had a great scent throw it was a a very strong vanilla scent and the pumpkin latte was a nice under note.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Pink Sangria Candle these are the wallflower tester candles that will sometimes be part of the Semi Annual Sale I loved the sweet fruity scent this had it actually smelled a bit like pink lemonade to me. But the scent throw wasn’t great on this you had to be pretty close to smell it definitely didn’t fill my room. I feel like the mini candles they sell actually can fill a room.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Spiced Gingerbread Candle I loved this it was warm and sweet smelling.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Candle But First Coffee this was disappointing because it smells like a delicious cup of coffee for the first ¾ of the candle and then the last ¼ smells like this weird floral mixed with coffee that I think has to do with how dark and weird the wax turned. I feel very mixed about this candle.

Repurchase: I don’t know, I have another I will see how that burns first

Bath and Body Works Gooey Marshmallow Candle this was ok sweet but not the strongest scent throw.

Repurchase: Maybe

Cobblestone Candle in Lemon Basil I liked the scent on this candle but the wicks sucked and they were so close together that this stopped burning half way through and I couldn’t use it anymore. So I would never buy anything else from them. I think I might have one more but maybe not I can’t remember and don’t feel like going through my whole candle stock to look.

Repurchase: No

Lip (3)

Blistex Medicated Berry Balm this was just ok It was very berry flavored and very thick on the lips but I didn’t find it healing or moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Hershey Kisses Lip Balm in Cherry this was cherry but like a sweeter warmer cherry not quite a chocolate cherry like the Hershey Kisses but trying. This was another really thick sticky type of lip balm that was really tinted left my lips quite pink. Also with these style of lip balms there is a ton left in the base that you can’t easily use up. The container is super cute though I am totally going to display it.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Tangerine Lip Balm this pissed me off so much how can you say it’s a tangerine lip balm and then it isn’t flavored like tangerine?! It was totally unflavored. It was fine as a lip balm it was smooth and hydrating. But I think it might have made me break out it was kinda hard to tell some times if I used this a lot for many days in a row I would get a pimple by my mouth but that might not have been from this as well who knows. They also don’t sell this anymore but I would not buy any of them because this was disappointing.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

Colourpop Amber Crystal Setting Spray this was just eh it made my makeup come together the way like Mac Fix Plus would but it wasn’t a great setting spray to make makeup last.

Repurchase: No

Apocalyptic Beauty Badass Setting Spray in Hot Cocoa I loved the scent of this it really smells like hot chocolate. It is also a really good setting spray it held my makeup in place and it wasn’t sticky it was really good but the spray sucks. It was hard to spray and when it got to the end it would just like spit and it was so inconsistent. I would be willing to go to the effort of buying this and decanting it into a better sprayer because this is a good setting spray and comes in tons of cool scents.

Repurchase: Yes

Mac Fix+ I did like this not as a setting spray I don’t feel like it really set my makeup much but I liked it to add moisture back to my look if my makeup was looking dry or to make my highlight pop or to dampen a sponge I was using to blend out or erase something. I figured out how to like pop the prayer out of the bottle so I can reuse the spray because it is a really really nice mister.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lotion (1)

Bliss Lemon and Sage Hand Cream I loved the scent of this and I loved the body wash that had come with this but I did not like this hand cream at all. It was really thick and heavy.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (2)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Tell Me About It… Stud Dry Oil Spray I love dry oil sprays and body oils for after showering and the FCS ones are my favorite formulas that I have ever tried. They leave you feeling moisturizers and slick without feeling sticky and greasy. This was a drier formula so if you are super adverse to that oil feeling this might be a good starting place since it immediately sinks into the skin. The scent of this was super masculine though and very strong that part I was not a fan of. This was a good formula but I personally prefer the regular oil formula and a different scent.

Repurchase: No

Da Bomb Fun Size Fizzers in Fairy Bomb this was very florally smelling and I expected it to be sweet I don’t know why. This was fun it changed the bath pink and there was a little fairy charm inside.

Repurchase: No, I don’t take a lot of baths

Haircare (3)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Eat Me Deep Conditioner I don’t like the FCS deep conditioners they are a little too heavy and almost waxy feeling for my hair. I love the Eat Me scent though it is so so sweet and yummy it smells amazing on. It weirdly smells too much and almost like off and gross in the jar but on you get a potent delicious smell.

Repurchase: No

Bumble and Bumble Bb. Don’t Blow It (H)air Styler this is a styling cream that yo put into your air dry hair and I always air dry my hair so I thought I would try it out. It made my hair  hold its curl/wave more than my hair normally wood but it also made my hair feel pretty heavy. This little tube was also not quite enough for my hair I probably could have used both little tubes that I have. This was ehh I’ll use up the other tube but that it is.

Repurchase: No

Not Your Mother’s Royal Honey & Kalahari Desert Melon Leave-in Conditioner I didn’t like this at all the scent was so so the actual product was a bit sticky and heavy in my hair without being super moisturizing. Also the spray on this little travel size sucked like it barely came out. The spray on the full size works fine but the travel size one does not work at all.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (29)

Smoke and Mirrors Glow Palette this was so pretty and I wanted this to work so bad but this has no glow it is supposed to be a highlighter but it is just matte and I would never use this as eyeshadow it is just sorta a pointless product I mean it is pigmented it could be used as eyeshadow I just don’t have a need for it I wanted it to be a cool blue and purple highlighter but it ended up just putting a matte blue powder on y face I was so disappointed. I even tried using it as a base for my colored highlights but it added too much color underneath. So sad. I really like the Smoke and Mirrors brand that you get at Five Below they have some really decent quality cheap makeup so I have found with what I have tried.

Smoke & Mirrors Mini Bronzer Stick in St. Tropez ugh this month really makes it look like I don’t like this brand but I really do. This little bronzer stick just isn’t a great color for me it is a bit too light and a bit to orange mixed with the fact that I don’t like cream bronzers. It came in a set with a bunch of highlighter sticks that I do really love so this was just a package deal. I gave it a shot but it isn’t great for me.

Ulta Beauty Eye Crayon in Little White Lies I got this a long long time ago to try to use it as white eyeshadow base and I have used it and tried a ton back when I bought it a few years ago when white bases were a lot harder to come by.  Recently I re-found it and tried it again a few times and its terrible as an eye crayon and as a base it is to sticky to like use as shadow on its own and it doesn’t really hold on to eyeshadow I put on top of it. This really did no favors for me so it has got to go I have much better things I don’t need to waste my time with this.

Bite Beauty Matte Lip Crayon in Glace I have decided that this color looks awful on my it is just too pink and I find the formula a bit sticky so I just don’t want to force myself to make this work.

Pur Quick Pro Portables Day Dream Palette I thought this would be so great for travel because it is the size of a credit card but the colors are so boring and neutral that I never touched it. So I need to find it a new home. Of all the palettes I decluttered this month this is the only one I bought the rest came in subscription boxes so it makes more sense that they weren’t my perfect palette since I didn’t pick them out for myself.

Colourpop Golden State of Mind Palette the formula on this is terrible its chunky and gritty it bled out into the palette the colors are just boring they aren’t impressive enough to justify that many shimmers in a palette.

Pur x Boxycharm Palette formula on this was not that great the looks were very neutral and muted on the eyes which is not my taste. I find Pur to be very hit or miss on formula sometimes great sometimes awful. The only real stand out shade was the blue and I have plenty of blues in better formulas.

Nyx Happy Birthday Palette this was an Ulta Birthday gift at one point the formula on this is actually really really good but these aren’t shades I gravitate too and I can dupe them out in other palettes that I have and love so this is going to move on as well.

Nyx Sweet Cheeks Blush Palette I never touched this I don’t wear blush. I thought I could use this as eyeshadow but never did so I need to let it go to make space for palettes I do use.

Winky Lux Kitten Palette cute as hell packaging and when you look at the shades it looks like the palette will be special but it comes off on the eyes as very generic. The only really “special” shade was the one duochrome but it wasn’t even that well done it was just my first experience with a real duochrome I now have better so I don’t need this no matter how cute the packaging is.

Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen SPF 70 I am allergic to this as I am most sunscreens so I gave this to my mom so she can use it.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Volume II I don’t do neutral palettes and I have other neutral or neutral leaning palettes that I decided to keep over this one this just never did it for me again I was only really keeping it because I love the packaging but that isn’t a good reason to keep a palette.

It Cosmetics CC Cream in Tan (2) I just do not like It Cosmetics base products they sit horribly on my skin they look so heavy they break me out so bad, it might be the spf but it might not. Tan is also too dark for me.  It Cosmetics products work really well on my mom though maybe because her skin is a lot drier then mine I don’t know. I wear them I look like I’m hundred I use them on her and she looks 10 years younger Idk.

It Cosmetics CC Cream in Medium (2) same as above but this is more my shade.

Sephora Bright Future Skin Tint in 25 Beige this looked so cakey and dry and sat on top of my skin and broke apart really quickly as well. I bought this super cheap on clearance at Sephora and I can see why it was on clearance.

Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Tinted Moisturizer this was way to light for me it is also really sticky on the skin and leaves like a very sunscreeny white cast.

Kiko Mat Mousse in 100 Warm Rose this is a weird one first the color was never perfect for me they definitely matched me wrong but beside that I had a weird love hate with this foundation. It says oil free but legit is super oily liquidy which I thought was weird. This has the softest most touchable soft matte feel on the skin but it looks very matte and foundation like. It did photograph well but it never looked good in person so I am letting it go.

Rimmel Insta Conceal & Correct this doesn’t have enough pigment to do any real concealing it is just adding another layer of product to my face and I so rarely color correct that if I do I want something I really like.

Catrice All Round Concealer Palette this was not good the formula is like waxy and sticky and hard to blend.

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination Concealer in Medium this is so bad I don’t think they even make this anymore. I really dislike It Cosmetics base products this is even worse than the regular Bye Bye Under Eyes (which I have and keep because I use it when I do my mom’s makeup and it works beautifully on her it just looks terrible on me). This is thick and sticky and is so hard to blend in sinks into every pore and line under your eyes as well as having sparkle in it. Who would want this?

Elf Tone Correcting Powder this is too light for me.

Clinique Stay Matte Universal Blotting Powder this is way to white it is like a ghost powder and it is so stiff and hard to get on a brush.

Ulta Pressed Setting Powder in Translucent like the Clinique this is very white and it has major hard pan for what ever reason this was not a great powder on the skin either.

Bare Minerals Original Mineral Veil this I didn’t like it is quite pink tinged and left my skin looking really dry and pink almost like I was really ill.

Too Faced Melted Matte In Queen B in decluttering/reorganizing I found that I have two of these I don’t like it enough to need two.

Girlactik Matte Lip Paint in Posh love the formula but not into the very peanut buttery color of this on me. L

MDM Flow in Retro I like the formula it is very light and thin but it is too pink for me.

Grande Cosmetics GrandeLips Hydrating Lip Plumper I have two of these I don’t wear gloss enough to need two. Sephora Cream Lip Stain in The Pink from the Minnie Mouse Collection nice formula I have lots of the Sephora Cream Lip Stains but this hot pink is not for me.

What’s In My Trash? March 2019

nightmareb4

Another month gone and some more empties. Anyone else so thrilled that the weather is getting warmer and the days longer? I know I am always makes me feel more positive.

Skincare (8)

Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser this was ok nothing special not a great cleanser not a great exfoliator just not really great at anything. There is probably one more use in there if I cut it open but I am not desperate enough to need to do that. Murad is one of those brands that seems like it’s all going to work so well and I always want to try stuff but it is so expensive but then it’s really hit or miss with me from what I have tried.

Repurchase: No

Origins Clear Improvements Charcoal Honey Mask to Purify and Nourish Mask this was not as good as the original one that does not have honey in it. It was also really hard to get off my skin. I found this to not leave my skin as dry but it also didn’t get rid  of blemishes as well as the original did. The pretty gold tinted black color of this mask was nice though.

Repurchase: No

Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub this is my favorite scrub I have ever used it smells like lemons and the particles are so tiny but in like a nice cream base it leaves my skin feeling so smooth this is so much better than the expensive Dr. Brandt one.

Repurchase: Yes

First Aid Beauty Ginger & Tumeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask I really really liked this mask. It left my face feeling bright and moisturizered and soft with out being greasy or gross. I really really like this and would definitely consider buying.

Repurchase: Yes

The Face Shop Chia Seed Sheet Mask my skin was feeling super irritated so I figure this would be a good generically soothing and moisturizing mask that might calm it a bit and it did. There wasn’t anything super special about it or bad about it.

Repurchase: No

South Mane Eye Gel I have one set of these left I like them just fine they ad moisture and make my under eyes feel nice but they aren’t the greatest eye gels ever. I tried wearing them while folding laundry ad they didn’t stick on that well through that much movement. These are more like a sit and read or watch tv type of eye gel.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray in Orange and Sage I really liked this the orange blossom and sage scent is definitely for me I love the orange plus herbal scent. I use this just because I like the geeral feeling of spraying some moisture on my face and as a replacement for moisturizer when my skin is feeling too oil for moisturizer. I will buy more of this.

Repurchase: Yes

Murad Outsmart Acne Clarifying Treatment this wasn’t that great I mean it was only 1% salicylic acid and didn’t work as well as my favorite the clean and clear one that has 2% for like 6 dollars this is just too expensive for what it is.

Repurchase: No

Random (6)

BodyographyPro Makeup Brush Cleanser I don’t really like liquid cleansers I only use them for my sponges and my oval brushes. I don’t feel like this was great it didn’t really clean well but it also didn’t smell like pure alcohol like so many spray cleansers do.

Repurchase: No

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant Ultraclear this is my preferred line of deodorant.

Repurchase: Yes

Random sponge I can’t remember where you came from and I am so sad because I really really liked you L. This was a super soft and squishy little sponge that I liked to use with cream highlights and for erasing makeup mistakes. Sponge you will be missed RIP.

Repurchase: Yes if I could figure out what it is

Sweet & Shimmer Marshmallow Mint Face & Body Wipes I love how these smell these were move vanilla mint then marshmallow but I love these little packs for like swatches or keeping in my car to wipe my hands stuff like that not for my actual face. I buy them every holiday season when they come out and always get excited for what the new scents are going to be every year.

Repurchase: Yes

Mauloa Paper N Planning Swatch Stencil Coffee Cups

Mauloa Paper N Planning Swatch Stencil Diamond

I liked these stencils they were fine. I ended up not using them as much as I thought I would but I still like them when I do use them. But they are only good for a few sets of swatches before all the stick is gone and they don’t work anymore.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (5)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower Cinnamon Caramel Swirl I liked this one a lot I got this on crazy couponed sale for 12 cents. This was nice and sweet but not overwhelming I liked it a lot. The wallflowers can be really hit or miss on where the scents actually work or not. Especially since I only really use it in a very small room.

Repurchase: Yes

Febreze Air Effects in Sugared Cranberry I liked this scent and it was good for freshening up linens.

RepurchasE: Maybe

Lucille & Co. Reviving Lemon Basil Room Spray I got this on a whim at Marshalls because I love Lemon and Basil scents and this did smell really really nice but it did not perform well. The scent did not last at all and was definitely not strong enough to cover up and other scents that may be around. 

Repurchase: No

HG Global Lemon Bar Candle I got this in a three pack on Amazon as like a whim. It was an ok candle especially for the price. I don’t like that it doesn’t burn all the way to the end but oh well. I might repurchase these I might not.

Repurchase: Maybe

Sweet & Shimmer Reed Diffuser in Winter Citrus this was cute but produced basically no scent.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

L’occitane Verveine Icy Lip Balm this was like a lemon verbena flavor which I liked I a lot. Normally I would never spend this much on a lip balm but what happened was I was at an outlet mall on vacation and I didn’t have a lip balm for the trip and was panicking so I bought this. It lasted a really long time ad was nice but I don’t think they sell this anymore and even if they did I wasn’t so impressed that it would be worth repurchasing at that price point.

Repurchase: No

Carmex Classic Lip Balm I love Carmex but only I the normal chapstick tube I feel like it isn’t the same in the squeezey tube.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

L’oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara in Midnight Black I liked this mascara a lot. It is really light and natural it does give that long fluttery butterfly like look which I like when I’m just throwing on some mascara and eyeliner but this is definitely only for light makeup looks this can’t hold up to a more dramatic eyeshadow look it just disappears. I liked it for the more natural easy light look.

Repurchase: Maybe

L’oreal Unlimited Mascara in 235 Blackest Black I received this for free in exchange for an honest review/post on instagram. I liked this it added a lot of length and curl to my lashes as well as looked really pretty on my makeup stand because it stands up and looks kinda classy and old school. I also like how the brush handle bends it makes it a lot easier to apply. I don’t like how quickly this got all gloopy and thick in the bottle and I am not into rehydrating my mascaras.

Repurchase: Maybe

Urban Decay Primer Potion this is like the og primer that everyone knows and loves it’s a great primer it holds on to shadow it keeps them from creasing it lasts forever like this tiny ass tube took me like 2 years to use its insane. My only thing with it currently is I’m sorta not into the primers that dry down clear I am more into like a white or really blanked out type of primer at the moment. But I do love this primer I have another and I’m sure I will buy more in the future.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (1)

Delectable Triple Moisture Body Lotion I Coconut & Cream I love the scent of this it is like a warm coconut scent that kinda reminds me of coconuts and cookies idk. I love the scent but the lotion is kinda meh it is really thick and moisturizing but it leaves kinda of a residue on my skin that I am not a fan of.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (2)

Basin Satsuma Shea Scrub the Basin scrubs are just so amazing they are so soft but they scrub your skin so nicely you feel so soft and smooth and silk ad moisturized after ugh so good. And this lasted me a really long time like 8/9 months with anywhere from 1 to 4 uses a month. So good. The Satsuma scent is my favorite it is such a bright yummy citrus. There is an orange vanilla one I have my eye on now, but I have a shit ton of scrubs I NEED to get through first. I am going to save the container it is really nice and keeps the water from the shower out of the product and I am going to put my scrubs that come in paper bags (like why?) in it.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Off We Go Body Wash this wasn’t my favorite scent but the body wash was good.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Gourmand Pistachio Brulee Perfume this is what I call an at home perfume. The kind of perfume that doesn’t have a strong scent or last very long. This had a light sweet smell but like very faint and disappears after like a few minutes. I don’t like perfumes like that. This is the kind of thing I would spray on just to hang out at home in.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (5)

Lancome Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Moisturizing Cream Gel this gave me an allergic reaction it has something related to roses in it. Suffice to say it stressed the fuck out of my skin rather than de stressing it. The last thing I needed was an allergic reaction the night I used this so I am extra mad at this product.

Chella Tantalizing Taupe Eyebrow Cream this is too hard to get out of the tiny little end cap that the product is in and it ends up looking like nothing or is all goopy in my eyebrows. It was weirdly a good color for me but definitely not a product for me.

Ulra Limitless Lashes this mascara smudges horribly and doesn’t really do anything for my lashes. I used this a few times and could not find a way to make it work for me and not smudge.

Z Skin Acne Spot Treatment I tried this for a long time but it does nothing to treat or prevent spots at all so this has to go it is a waste of my time. It is also a really thick white cream that is hard to rub in.

Note Cosmetics Long Lash Mascara I am not one to like give up on a mascara after one use so that is how you know this is bad. Usually even if I hate a mascara I will power through and use it since I get rid of them pretty frequently because germs and I don’t want any issues with my eyes. This was awful I like a dry mascara formula but this was so dry that like barely anything came off on my lashes and it kinda stuck them together but not in a clump thick way but like they were combed bad way this was truly awful no length no volume and it legit straightened my naturally curly lashes out this was terrible.

What’s In My Trash? February 2019

nightmareb4

I didn’t do great this month most of what I “used” up were actually items I am decluttering. Oh well not a goo month but I feel like stressed with out a monthly goal and alot more free to just use what I feel like using and switch products around rather then commiting to one product start to finish. Con to that is I am not using up as much stuff.

And here is most of my empties for the month alot didn’t fit in the picture so alot of the declutters I just pulled out so the actual empties could shine.

Skincare (5)

Freeman Polishing Charcoal + Black Sugar Gel Mask + Scrub I didn’t like this it was too hard to rinse off my face it was a very sticky gel formula. This might make a nice body scrub since the full size tube is large and affordable.

Repurchase: No

Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2 in 1 Plumping Moisturizer this made me break out so I wouldn’t use this again.

Repurchase: No

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum this legit did nothing and I used it for weeks plenty of time to see results. So this just isn’t for me I have another sample of this that I will declutter and pass along since this doesn’t work for me.

Repurchase: No

NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth these are my favorite. I like the exfoliating side and then the softer side. They clean well are gentle but still exfoliating.

Repurchase: Yes

Goldfaden MD Facial Detox Mask I really liked this mask a lot I felt like it did a lot to clear up my skin when I would be breaking out but it is a $65 mask like I just don’t ever see that being feasible to buy so I am super sad this is gone. I made this mask  last by using it really sparingly only on problem spots. It is really good though.

Repurchase: Maybe

Random (3)

CharBrush Family Pack this came with 4 charcoal tooth brushes and 4 tins of the CharBrush powder charcoal toothpaste I really loved this I actually have on toothbrush left but I am calling it all used up. I don’t have a picture because like this is messy as hell there is no way to save it. I loved this charcoal tooth powder it made my teeth feel clean and my gums feel healthy. I am trying another one now but will likely go back to this.

Repurchase: Yes

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby Wipes I picked these up because they were Super Cheap they were on sale and I found a coupon I got then for a like a $1.00 maybe even less I don’t remember. These were awful those I got them to remove swatches and they were not great and they left cotton fuzzy bits all over my skin these would be horrible for trying to clean up a kid I imagine. They are decently thick though.

Repurchase: No

Pacifica Cherry Kisses Hydrating Lipstick Wipes these are amazing and I don’t know why no one is talking about these. The are cherry flavored and like a hydrating wipe to take liquid lips off. They work really well and they taste good unlike a lot of removers and they don’t leave your lips in pain or dried out. They are just the best way to remove the lip colors that don’t want to come off I love them so much.

Repurchase: Yes, have a whole stockpile.

Fortune Cookie Soap Company 17 Cherry Tree Lane this smelled so good in the tin like a awesome cherry cream but it didn’t have a great scent throw I was really disappointed you could kinda smell it when you would like leave the room and come back but that was about it.

Repurchase: No

Sweet & Shimmer Room Spray in Salted Caramel this smelled really strongly of alcohol. You could smell the salted caramel but this isn’t anything special. This is the same like cheap cute stuff that comes out every Christmas from Ulta and I always pick up odds and ends because it is cute and fun.

Repurchase: Maybe

HG Global Baked Apple Pie Candle I got this in a random three pack on Amazon and they were actually super nice candles they don’t burn all the way to the bottom I’ve notice but they smell nice they burn for awhile and they are cheap.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (2)

ChapStick Sugar Cookie I had two of these I’ve now used both up I liked them of these were a bit waxy I rather have something more moisturizing feeling but the sugar cookie flavor was really nice.

Repurchase: No

Neutrogena Collagen Kiss Collagen Infused Lip Mask This was really nice I liked this. It left my lips feeling really soft and a bit more hydrated and less chapped then they were before I used this.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lotion (4)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Mistress of All Evil Body Frosting I loved this to death. This was the kinda product that I was savoring and trying to make last. This is a thick frosting like consistency that turns into a nice dry oil feel on the skin. The scent of this was so amazing it was so sweet and warm and delicious like just delicious cake but not overly fake sweet just so fucking good.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Whipped Cream in Boo, As If this smelled good I like these little whipped cream tubs because they last a decent amount and you get to try differed scents all the time I like them. I am finding that I actually might prefer potted lotions to tube ones for my hands.

Repurchase: Yes

Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Aloe Lotion I need Aquarphor one day and couldn’t find it and this was there so I grab this to try thinking it  would be similar. It is not it doesn’t work as well and if you out it on chapped skin the way you would with Aquaphor it stings!

Repurchase No

Bath and Body Works Coco Shea In-Shower Coconut Oil Body Lotion I found this to be a little to greasy for my liking but my girlfriend really really liked this. it is pricey compared to other better in shower moisturizer but this does smell alot better then any of the other ones I’ve tried.

Repurchase: Not for me but maybe for my gf

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture Couture La La Perfume I love the scent of this perfume but it does not stick on my skin at all which is really sad. This is a very light fresh slightly fruity scent very pretty.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (1)

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Night Cap Overnight Perfector I hated the feeling of this in my hair it dries down really heavy and white and flakey looking so you have to wash it out even though the instructions say you don’t have to. It doesn’t really do all that much for my hair either. Maybe made it a little softer and straighter but not by much.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (24)

Viva La Juicy Viva La Body Lotion this dries out my skin so bad so it has to go.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum just doesn’t work for me.

Estee Edit Mattified Lipsticks/Transformer omg the texture of these was awful and grainy and messy and just gross and looked awful. I couldn’t even get through the two or three applications in this sample.

Nomad Light Infusion Powder in Positano Sunrise to powdery and not a color I am super drawn too as a highlight so this is really just taking up space in my life and I know I won’t use it.

Milk Makeup Liquid Strobe this had so much potential to be something I liked but it did not perform it always came out so patchy ad inconsistent and that made it unusable because sometimes it was all glitter sometimes it was nothing and sometimes it actually came out with the color.

L’Oreal Infallible Paints Liquid Eyeshadow In 304 Navy Yard so I really actually like these they have/had I don’t think these are around anymore really interesting colors but they are a bit finicky to work with they take a lot of blending and layering and fussing. So I decided to keep the ones that had really interesting colors so I can use them for liners or accents our whatever so this more normal shade one is going because I needed to do a massive liquid/cream shadow declutter since I so rarely reach for them.

Bare Minerals Whipped Velvet Long Wear Eye Color in Peach Divine

Bare Minerals Whipped Velvet Long Wear Eye Color in Magnificent Cocoa

I just am not a big enough fan of these colors to use them so I am letting them go. I kept one to try as a highlighter and I am going to play around with it like that and see if it works or it will also get decluttered.

Profusion Metallic Liquid Eyeshadow in Siena I got a whole kit with 2 or 3 cream shadows and a liner and a pigment for like a $3.00 so I am not that fussed that I am getting rid of this I am just eh about the color.

Absolute New York Pure Metal Veil in Gumetal I have never opened this in the 3 or 4 years it’s been in my drawer this is a sign that it is not for me.

Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss in Moonshine

Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss in Icing

I just don’t like these at all they are gross and have a ton of glitter fallout and what is the point. I kept one to try as a highlighter and I am going to play around with it like that and see if it works or it will also get decluttered.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in 35 Tough as Taupe
Maybelline Color Tattoo in 40 Tenacious Teal
Maybelline Color Tattoo in 50 Edgy Emerald
Maybelline Color Tattoo in 45 Bold Gold
Maybelline Color Tattoo in 55 Inked in Pink
Maybelline Color Tattoo in 100 Dramatic Black

Surprisingly these are still creamy and usable despite being 4 years old I just really don’t
use them I kept like 2 shades that I felt really attached to but these need to go I never
reach for them. I really liked them for a while and did use them they are good. If you like
cream shadows that are pigmented and easy to blend these are worth it. They just are not
for me anymore.          

Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Super Hydrating Lotion Wipes these are so dry there are no lotion on these at all.

FCS Sea Salt Hair Spray I don’t use sea salt sprays in my hair they are too drying.

Bumble and Bumble Bb. Curl Defining Crème I don’t wear my hair curly and even if I did it wouldn’t be curly enough to need a product like this.

Palmers Coconut Oil Conditioning Shampoo I just won’t ever use this.

Madam CJ Walker Curl Whip Styling Souffle another curling cream that I just don’t have use for.

Random Perfume um I don’t remember what this is or wear it came from and it has no label, but I wasn’t into the scent of this.
