What’s In My Trash? December 2023

nightmareb4

And with that the 2023 year is over lol. It was a decent enough year in terms of empties I beat both my hard and soft goals. So will definitely need to up the ante next year.

Skincare (2)

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Sage, and Orange Blossom I don’t this this spray actually does anything but I enjoy it as a step in my routine and I like the scent of this one.

Repurchase: Yes

Tula Brightening Treatment Drops I think these brightened I don’t really know I liked them. Don’t think I would spend $56 on them.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

MegRhythm Gentle Steam Eye Mask in Unscented I like the unscented ones a lot more they are uncomfortable but they are also feel nice I have a microwavable one and I need to use that more these are just so easy because you don’t have to get up and do anything and they are just soothing and warm.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (5)

Trader Joe’s Pomander Room Spritz this smells like the holidays I don’t love it but I like it for the vibes once a year.

Repurchase: Yes

Trader Joe’s Scented Candle in Chocolate Croissant this smelled so good cold but the warm throw just really didn’t do it for me.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hanukkah this was delicious it smelled like donuts and it was great. It burned through super fast though faster then other wallflowers. Which is a bit ironic really.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Peppermint Sugar Cookie Candle this smelled really ogood like a sweet mint but also clean I just wish the scent throw had been better.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Raspberry Thumbprint Candle this didn’t have a strong scent throw but it was fine.

Repurchase: No

Lip (4)

Dionis Goat Milk Lip Balm in Coconut Cream I really like this lip balm it didn’t melt in the car at least not unless it was insanely hot it was balmy and lasted long on the lips it was a good flavor. This tube lasted me forever.

Repurchase: Yes

Dionis Goat Milk Lip Balm in Peppermint Twist same with this one the peppermint was really nice I used this for a really long time I would definitely by more of these.

Repurchase: Yes

Carmex Lip Balm in Strawberry I will be sticking with regular unflavored Carmex in the future.

Repurchase: No

Patchology Lip Service Gloss-to-Balm Treatment I didn’t like this it is super sticky when it comes out and it does melt down on the lips to be comfortable and balm pretty instantly but not on any skin so on your face or if you spready it with the tip of your finger it stays sticky and gross. Really good sweet mint scent.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Radical this was a nice mascara it made my lases really long and curled really gives that big doe eyed look. But it is very dry and sticky and a bit hard to remove.

Repurchase: Maybe

Too Faced Pomade in a Pencil in Soft Black I really liked this pencil but this was too black and too cool toned for me I really struggle to find a brow color that matches my brows.

Repurchase: No

Covergirl Cleantopia Plant Powered Mascara in 800 this was ok not great looked nice at first but dried out really quick which seems to be a problem with these more natural mascaras.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Callyssee Cloud Soft Bod in Vanilla I didn’t like this it was thin and sticky and not super hydrating.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Whipped Cream in Day-O this was nice very calming scent I like these little lotion pots a lot.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (3)

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in Birthday Cake these are my favorite shaving product I love when they come out with new scents this one was nice it was a sweet vanilla.

Repurchase: Yes

My Beauty Spot Coffee Body Scrub I don’t really like these kinds of scrubs I find them hard to use and they are super messy and then you have to basically clean coffee out of the bottom of the shower which I don’t find super fun.

Repurchase: No

Malin + Goetz Rum Hand + Body Wash this was not impressive. I didn’t love the scent and it didn’t suds well.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

FCS Perfume Oil in Fried Pussy Cat I wanted to finish this this month and I did. It smelled nice it smelled like donuts kinda it was odd and fun but not a scent I would repurchase.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Good Dye Young Semi-Permanent Hair Color in Riot not pictured I don’t save these i cut them open and then they are a mess. I got this to try instead of Artic Fox and it has some pros over the Artic fox but I think I just prefer Artic Fox. This does not smell as good and the packaging is way messier to use it also is much harder to wash out of my hair. The color and the longevity of this product are a lot better but for the same price I think I rather have the easier user experience it also didn’t leave my hair as soft as Artic Fox does.

Repurchase: No

Not Your Mother’s Smooth Moves Lamellar Water Rinse this I love it likes a hair mask that is a rinse and it is super quick and easy. You kinda squeeze it on in sections and then rub it in like shampoo and it gets warm and then you rinse it out and it leaves my hair really smooth. Hirts really bad if you get it in your eyes though.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Leave-In Conditioner in Tink this has been a favorite for a long time I love the scent and it’s a nice light leave-in.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (2)

Colourpop Lip Mask in Sugar and Spice

Colourpop Lip Mask in Everything Nice

These broke me out terribly I had horrible deep pimples all around my mouth and anywhere near my mouth where this would migrate it was terrible. Even though it was cute and smelled really good it is not worth it at all.

Skincare (10)

Keys Golden Cleanser this was fine very creamy. I wouldn’t buy it but I would use it.

Spalife Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches these really didn’t work. They helped in the sense that having them covered does help with the pain, but they didn’t help heal anything.

Repurchase: No

Aceology Probiotic Restoring Biodegradable Mask this was a nice mask but but nothing special especially for that insane price.

Repurchase: No

Cerave Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel this was a nice light gel moisturizer which I really like.

Pacifica Eye Bright Undereye Vitamin C Spot Serum Mask these were nice they really brightened my under eyes and made them feel better after a night of drinking for sure.

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer SPF 45 I liked this fine. I don’t know if I would repurchase it but it was nice.

Repurchase: Idk

Random (1)

Dove Go Fresh Revive Antiperspirant I really like these Dove deodorants I go through phases where I use a brand for a year and then switch for a while because I feel like you got to switch them up or they become less effective.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (4)

Homeworx Candle in Gingerbread Mocha this had a decent enough scent throw but it was so giant it too a while to burn and it wasn’t that easy to put out it would smoke for awhile. I think giant candles are not so much my thing.

Repurchase: No but if I had another I would use it.

Cocoa Puff 3 Wick Candle these candles are just such crappy quality. I am almost finally done with they. I have one 3 wick left and 3 mini tins and then these will finally be out of my life.

Repurchase: No

Trix 3 Wick Candle  this was so smokey and smelled burnt I could not get all the way through this.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Room Spritz in Super Lemon I love this spray it is so lemony it works really well.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (2)

Jd Glow Cosmetics Multichromatic Gel Liner in Shooketh this has finally started to dry out and get clumpy so it is time for it to go. I really loved these liners the multichrome was so pretty. There was a bit of a learning curve to apply these but once I got it down they were easy to apply.

Repurchase: Yes

Lime Crime Venus Liner in Wisteria this dried out really fast and it was always really chunky but also watery was not a great liner at all.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

FCS Whipped Cream in Follow Your Heart I like these I user them all the time I have tons in different scents this scent was really nice and fresh and clean and I enjoyed it.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (3)

Nyx Matte Lipstick in Perfect Red I have never opened this and I have a million reds I am going to let this go to a better home.

Anthropologie Road Trip Perfume just trying to whittle down the perfume collection some it is just a little excessive how many I have.

Supergoop Daily Dose Bioretinol + Mineral SPF 40 this is the gritty kind of mineral sunscreen that I don’t like and the tint is like tan grey just not a fan.

The Lifestyle Co. Reset Mist this had very little scent not worth the price at all.

Repurchase: No
