This was a good month I got enough used up to to be under the amount of items I started with for the year.

Skincare (20)

Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Moisture Infusion Cream this was nice I liked it.

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

Zitsticka Killa Kit Deep Zit Microdart these are good they do work they don’t make the pimples go away or at least not for me because I use them on really really bad ones because these are expensive but there is significant improvement.

Repurchase: Yes

Vitamasques Acai Berry Sheet Mask I didn’t really like this it slid all over and wasn’t that easy or comfortable to wear.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Hello Sunshine Hydrating Serum Sunscreen SPF 50 this was ok. I don’t prefer it to other sunscreens.

Repurchase: No

Peach & Lily Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask this was really good mu skin felt softer after.

Repurchase: Maybe

Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream this is just too thick for me but it is a nice texture.

Repurchase: No

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex I don’t really like this serum even though it gets great reviews I don’t love the feel or the scent and I don’t think it does anything.

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: No

Strivectin Dual Phase Serum for Fine Lines, Dullness & Dry Skin this was messy I hate the serums or things you have to mix together it just isn’t for me.

Repurchase: No

Dune The Mug Guard Invisible Gel Suncare for Face this unfortunately broke me out but I loved the matte gel texture.

Repurchase: No

Peach Slices Snail Rescue All-in-One Oil Free Moisturizer this was nice I liked it a lot.

Repurchase: Yes

Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel this is no effective at brightening or depuffing.

Repurchase: No

Elizabeth Arden Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide Capsules I just do not see the point in packaging things this way but this was really nice it wasn’t stick it was a nice soft matt kinda feel I really enjoyed it but it is way to expensive to be doing the same thing as the $6 hyaluronic acids.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Chamomile and Lavender I love these and I love the teeny tiny bottles for traveling I just love a facial spray.

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

Random (5)

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

Repurchase: Yes

Dove Go Fresh Apple & White Tea Antiperspirant I think I need a break from Dove deodorant going to go back to Degree for awhile.

Repurchase: Eventually

Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick this is great I feel like I don’t have to reapply often its really good at its job. I like the mini stick because it is easy to travel with but the value of the full size one is better.

Repurchase: Yes

Yuni Shower Sheets I like these types of things they are great when you are gross and can’t shower like at theme park and just need to feel refreshed. I have other brands I like better though.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Scholl’s Tired Achy Feet Soothing & Reviving Foot Mask this was awesome it really did provide some relief after walking for like 8 hours.

Trader Joe’s Whipped Body Scrub in Hot Cocoa this wasn’t very good not super scrubby and not a lot of scent either.

Repurchase: No

T.Taio Esponjabon Mother of Pearl Lightening Effect I think this is meant for face but it would be so horribly rough I would not recommend that at all. This is one of those like soap infused sponges I just used it on my body. It had no scent I didn’t dislike it.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (4)

Prada Paradoxe Perfume this was strong but I really liked it don’t remember what it smelled like though.

What’s In My Trash? March 2024

Wooo actually under my starting number by 4 items that’s great gotta keep that momentum going.

Skincare (7)

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream I love this cream its really light and refreshing. I really love it I never buy it because it’s a little pricey for just moisture and I have so many moisturizers but I would buy it if I had the need.

Repurchase: Maybe

Algenist Triple Eye Renewal Balm I really didn’t like this it was thick I don’t feel like it did much it wasn’t even that moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray I bought this because I really wanted to just try some new face sprays. This was supposed to be calming but I just felt meh about it.

Repurchase: No

Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels these work my undereyes were super dry and itchy and dehydrated and this really made a visible significant difference.

Repurchase: Yes

Peter Thomas Roth Goodbye Acne Complete Acne Treatment Gel this was a good Acne treatment it did work but so do things that are far less expensive than this. I suspect if I was younger and having more serious acne problems and could use this up faster with it being gentle but still effective that would be valuable to me but since that’s not the stage I’m in this cost is not in proportion to my need.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skinactive Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Anti-Fatigue x2 I really like this mask I think it is really soothing and really does depuff and make my skin feel and look better. It also has a ton of serum that I can save and use for a day or two after.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (2)

Sweet & Shimmer Scented Wipes in Gum Drop I like these for swatches and just cleaning my hands when I’m crafting and stuff like that but I don’t think they make the scented ones anymore I have only see the unscented ones the last few holidays makes me sad.

Repurchase: If they come back

Dove Sensitive Deodorant I don’t this this was a terribly effective deodorant and it left really bad white marks.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (7)

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Tin Candle this has no scent throw and they are hard to clean but the little containers are cute.

Repurchase: No

Victoria Secret Candle in Coco this had no scent which is weird because the other ones in this line do have a great scent throw a bit odd.

Repurchase: No

VS Candle in Coco Pineapple this was a bit musky which not my favorite glad to be done with it.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle in Suntan one of my favorite scents the single candles do not have as good of a scent throw as the 3 wicks at all.

Repurchase: Only a 3 wick not the singles

Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Blackbeard this has a very gunpowdery manly smell that I’m not terriblely fond of but the scent throw was good.

Repurchase: No

Unplugged Book Box Candle in Sea God this burned fast it was gone in a day.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hanukkah I love this it is smells so good and it lasts.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (3)

Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Lip Balm in Strawberry Guava these are great lip balms they work well and taste goods.

Repurchase: Yes

eos Lip Balm in Vanilla Mint I don’t love these balls I never did but it was nostalgic of the time when you had to have like ever color and flavor of them. They are just not convenient packaging to apply and iyoui can’t get all the balm unless you dig it out.

Repurchase: No

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips this is not very tinted and not as balmy as the aloe or the regular.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

Purlisse BB Tinted Moist Cream SPF 30 I like this it doesn’t break me out it makes my skin look nice it isn’t full coverage or long lasting but I liked using it.

Repurchase: Maybe

KVD Good Apple Full-Coverage Serum Foundation I surprising really liked this considering I don’t really like full coverage foundations it didn’t sit terribly on my skin it didn’t feel super heavy but I think finsinf a shade match might be challenging. I cocktailed two of the samples together to get something that worked but I don’t know what the actual shade range it like.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lilly Lashes Triple X Mascara I thought I was going to love this the first few uses my lashes looked so good but then it was just dry hard to comb through and made my lashes really spikey and clumpy.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Ultra-Hydrating Body Butter in Vanilla Apricot I wanted to like this but the apricot scent is just too off putting for me and I was struggling to get through this.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Alo Glow System Mega- C Body Wash this was boring it didn’t have a scent I don’t feel like it did anything special it was just a very boring body wash.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in Candy Cane I love these I loved this scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Frank Body Cacao Coffee Scrub I hate these I hate coffee scrubs they are so messy they leave my shower a wreck they are hard to wash off I just don’t like the process involved even though the scrub is good I just can’t. Repurchase: No

Perfume (2)

FCS Perfume Oil in Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Things this was very sweet and had a lot of milk notes which isn’t my favorite but I didn’t hate it.
