What’s In My Trash? August 2025

Well this was a huge declutter month for me. Kinda hoping to bring that same energy to September let’s see how that goes for me. When I am in the declutter mood I have to just go with it and it feels good to like free up space and just move some stuff out some times.

Skincare (2)

BRTC Vitamin A Velvet Mask Firming + Beta-Glucan this was fine I don’t know if it was firming but it was moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Tula Bedtime Bright Vita-Charge Overnight Brightening Treatment I didn’t care for this it was not brightening.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Dove Clinical Protection in Original Clean I hated this it was too thick it stained all my clothes and it made my skin itchy.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (1)

Trader Joe’s Room Spritz in Orange & Spice I didn’t really like this it smell artificial.

Repurchase: No

Lip (3)

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Vanilla I like this not as much as vanilla beige but I like that this is clear.

Repurchase: Maybe

Carmex Lip Balm I love Carmex lip balm. It’s a good texture and its cheap.

Repurchase: Yes

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment I don’t like the color of this even though the formula is nice.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (1)

eos Cashmere Body Wash in Vanilla Cashmere this was not the best I did feel like it lathered that well and it left my skin kinda dry.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture Peace Love and Juicy Couture this is one of my favorites its very bright and fresh and nice but not super long lasting.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (2)

Not Your Mother’s Matcha Green Tea & Wild Apple Blossom Butter Masque this is a fine hair mask. Its moisturizing and it smells really nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

IGK Antisocial Overnight Bond-Building Dry Hair Mask I don’t know that this did much bond building but it did make my hair feel a bit like I did a hair mask with out having to wash it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (14)

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk this is literally the color of my lips there is not point for me.

Giorgio Armani Lip Power Matte in 111 this is also the color of my lips and it doesn’t really dry down enough to be worth it.

Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick in 501 Casual Pink this was messy.

Marc Jacob Le Marc Liquid Lip Crayon Mini in Plum N Get It too messy and dark.

Colourpop x Tinkerbell Glossy Lip Stain in Tinkerbell I don’t love the formula of this and I really don’t love this pinky color so I am just going to display this. I have the other shade and I don’t hate it so ill try to use that one.

Wet n Wild Glitter Mascara I think this is so cool and I love the idea of glitter lashes but I’m really paranoid about getting glitter in my eyes and I’m just to scared to use this.

Suva Beauty Eyeshadow in Turmeric I don’t use this color and to keep a whole single to maybe use this shade once every 5 years is crazy.

The Beauty Crop Eyeshadow in Seren this is not a shade I use often and I have similar things so keeping a single is just not the move for me.

Hola Neon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in The Easy Sell this is a pretty color and once it dries it really stays but it bleeds so much while its drying and it’s hard to keep it looking nice and it does that  flaking thing a lot of liquid lipsticks can do.

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Nude

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Fushcia

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Lavender

I didn’t love the formula on the 2 I tried so just letting these go it was hard to blend and then wore away so quickly.

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Amazonian this shade just doesn’t look good on my the orange reads as like ill on my skin.

GlamGlow Good in Bed Passionfruit Softening Night Cream I just didn’t like this it was really sticky.

July started off strong and then went pretty downhill quick. OOPS

Skincare (8)

Mudmasky Mineral-Infused Bubble Cleansing Mask this was nice much thinner than I expected so not great at the masking part but in no way was this worth $59.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Food Story Mask Pomegranate Grenade this was fine nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Global Beauty Care Snail Spa Treatment Mask this was awful who ever cut this mask has never seen a human face before.

Repurchase: Maybe

Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Water Cream I didn’t like this it was pretty thick and sticky.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (1)

Repurchase: Maybe

Lip (1)

Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask in Chocolate this tasted/smelled amazing like a Hershey chocolate bar, but it was so heavily tinted brown that it got on everything and stained pillowcases. A sleeping lip mask needs to be clear.

Bodycare (2)

FCS Whipped Soap in I am Kenough this smelled so good all fruity and the rainbow was so fun. I just don’t love having to scoop out my soap.

This was a good month I did really well in bringing the collection down for sure.

Skincare (5)

Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Moisture Rescue Cream I really liked this it was a good cream it smelled like lemonade.

Repurchase: Maybe

Laneige Water Bank Soothing Gel Mask this was uncomfortable to wear but it did make my skin really plumped up and tight.

Repurchase: Maybe

Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum this is a good serum I still like Strivectin more for the price.

Repurchase: No

Cosrx Master Patch Intensive these were really good really clear and stayed really well and really sucked out the gunk and flattened things out, they are slow though I feel like they take twice as long but the results are better.

Repurchase: Yes

Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator this was fine very basic moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Sweet & Shimmer Unscented Makeup Remover Wipes these are fine wipes for getting swatches off or just wiping your hands.

Repurchase: Maybe

Scentered De-Stress Therapy Balm this didn’t work at all it wasn’t scented enough or linger long enough.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (6)

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Cleansing Room & Linen Spray in Bum Bum loved this smelled so good and lasted for a decent time in the room for a room spray.

Repurchase: YES

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Seaside Escape this had no scent throw.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Lucky Vibes this was a good wallflower I liked the Irish Cream scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Free People 1809 Surf Candle this is way to expensive for a candle that does nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Cozy Cup Latte this was really good it smelled like a caramel latte and it was really great.

Repurchase: YES

The Zodiac Boxx Aquarius Candle so this was a super fun candle the stones and jewelry and the glass are really nice and burned exceptionally well but it had no scent thrown.

Repurchase: Probably. I might just add some essential oils to it while it is burning

Lip (1)

Chap Ice Cherry Lip Balm I like Chap Ice enough for how cheap it is. It is really waxy but that is good as a barrier when its cold out.

Repurchase: These just show up in my life I don’t buy them

Lotion (4)

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream in Hot Cocoa & Cream love this scent a true favorite.

Repurchase: Yes

Kopari Ultra Restore Body Butter this was a great lotion really liked it. I don’t typically buy expensive lotions so I don’t know that I would get this again.

Repurchase: Maybe

Frudia My Orchard Peach Hand Cream this was a good hand cream had a good peach scent not too artificial and a good hand feel.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Body Frosting in Rice Kreepies I love this scent its like cookies and cream but I think I am over this frosting to oil formula.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (4)

Shea Moisture Calm & Clearing African Black Soap Body Wash this was boring but it was effective as body wash.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Shave Oil in Electric Beach I like this shave oil but it had no scent. I finally have started seeing other brands so I’m excited to try those.

Repurchase: Not this scent

Vacation Classic Spray SPF 50 Sunscreen I don’t like this sunscreen anymore I feel like when I was using it out in the true hot heat and sun it was fine but for everyday use it takes a long time to sink in and is a little sticky while it does. I prefer Hawaiian Tropic to this now and it’s a little cheaper so I would prefer to get that.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Peppermint Pearl this was fine not many uses in such a tiny jar.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (3)

IGK Pay Day Conditioner I used to love this I don’t think I don’t I do anymore.

Repurchase: Probably Not

Kenra Platinum Snail CC Crème I have only used 75% of this but I have had it for ever and I don’t really enjoy it anymore. It made my hair soft if I used it and then washed it out but also really sticky and greasy and that’s not really the point of this product. This was like me falling victim to the snail trend awhile back like that was never going to do anything for hair.

Repurchase: No, and it probably has been discontinued by now.

Monday Deep Moisture Hair Mask this was definitely not enough for all my hair so I just used it on the more damaged bottom half of my hair. It didn’t really do that much.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Berry Healthy it comfortable but I have this color in so many lipsticks.
