Another not great month but I am still pretty on track to meet my goal for the year. I was travel this month so there’s alot of missing pictures and such but it is what it is.

Skincare (4)

Suntique I’m Pure Perfect Cica Sunscreen SPF 50 this was very white thick and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Patch Holic Aqua Plus Moisturizing Mask this was fine I like moisturizing sheet masks but they are all kinda the same.

Repurchase: No

Ahava Time to Clear Purifying Mud Mask I don’t like mud masks anymore they are so hard to wash off but this does the trick for purifying. I like my Body Shop one more though.

Repurchase: No

Simple Cleansing Wipes these were good wipes didn’t sting can get off light eye makeup.

Repurchase: Maybe

Random (2)

Dove Dry Spray in Cool Essentials I really liked this I would get it in the full size for sure.

Repurchase: Yes

Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick these are really good anti friction sticks I think the mini stick is more then adequate and easier for travel.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (4)

FCS Wax Tarts in Amok! Amok! This was a great scent and had decent throw but no longevity. It was a super pretty pink color with gold glitter as well.

Repurchase: No

Cinnamon Toast Crunch 3 Wick Candle this did smell like Cinnamon toast crunch but it burned terrible. Unevenly the wicks would keep going out I am just giving up on it.

Repurchase: No

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

Repurchase: No

Rae Dunn Candy Apple Candle this didn’t have a lot of scent throw and I have realized I don’t like the solid candle containers because you cant see the flame. This was too cute of a container to pass up though.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (2)

Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in 262 Blackest Black this was fine it is nothing special it was smooth and soft but not waterproof.

Repurchase: No

Glamglow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer in Nude Glow I love these they just make my skin look healthy but don’t feel like I am wearing anything. I wish it had sunscreen it in though. I love the lemon pound cake scent too.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (2)

Soap & Glory Orangeasm Super Rich Body Butter this is my favorite scent ever I hate that they discontinued this scent I its like a peppery orange lemon scent and it is so good. I think I have one more tub but I am going to be so sad when it is finally gone.

Repurchase: Please bring it back

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream in Merry Cookie I like these lotions a lot they are great sizes they work well they smell good.

Repurchase: Yes, I have more already

Bodycare (1)

Soap & Glory The Real Zing Body Wash eh this was fine it didn’t lather that well and it was incredibly hard to squeeze the bottle and get the soap out.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (2)

Paco Rabanne Fame Parfum I didn’t like this perfume it was too heavy and strong.

Repurchase: No

Maison Margiela Replica By The Fireplace this was very fireplace scented.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (1)

Psst! Instant Dry Shampoo this dry shampoo sucked it was really dry but didn’t absorb oil at all. And it was super white.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Elizabeth Arden Prevage City Smart DNA Enzyme Complex this is gritty and gross.

What’s In My Trash? September 2023

This is probably one of the worst months but I am already ahead of where I need to be so that is good. I didn’t use up this month and I spent alot more on the products I used then usual.

Skincare (4)

Shiseido Urban Environment Sun Dual Care SPF 42 I do not like this one nearly as much as the blue one but at the end of the day I am moving on from these sunscreens to use the Supergoop ones.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream this was not that impressive for the price I don’t think it depuffed or did that much brightening.

Repurchase: No

The Beauty Crop Watermelon Brightening Eye Mask this was fine.

Repurchase: No

Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum I don’t really like this serum it is a bit gritty almost. I don’t really vibe with Caudalie products.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Degree Ultraclear Dry Spray in Pure Clean I like the spray deodorants especially in the summer. I think I have gone off on Degree a bit and am liking Dove a bit more. I tend to cycle through.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (2)

VS Candle in Honey this had a nice sweet scent but if I burned it too long it got a kinda burnt scent to it.

Repurchase: No

VS Candle in Water I liked this light and clean and watery.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lip (2)

Carmex Lip Balm in Strawberry I really don’t prefer the flavored ones to original one at all.

Repurchase: No

Fresh Sugar Coconut Hydrating Lip Balm this was nice but not as good as the actual stick lip balms. They are more hydrating last longer on the lips and don’t need to be applied with fingers so even though they are more expensive they are just better.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (3)

Cake Beauty Milk Made Indulgent Body Milk Cream this was too think for my tastes.

Repurchase: No

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream I like this it’s a good watery lotion for a really good price. It is smooth and moisturizing. I do hate that it is almost impossible to get the last 2 oz out of the bottle and I’m not trying to cut open such a thick large bottle.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Body Milk in Life is Sweet this was a little too sweetly floral for me but the milks are nice they sink in well but they are drippy and messy.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave oil in Birthday Cake I love these oils the candy cane is definitely my favorite scent but I really hope they make more scents they have so many scents in their scrubs I would love for more of them to show up in the oils.

Repurchase: Yes

Dove Reviving Body Wash this was not super special but it was cheap and came in a pack of things so I used it. Dove is generally pretty effective and unoffensive.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Body Wash & Foam Bath in Recharge I really liked this the scent was very calming and I liked using it as a nighttime before bed body wash.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture Sucre this was really really sweet but it came out for my birthday month so I’m like super attached to it since its kinda cupcake/birthday vibes.

Repurchase: I think it was limited edition but I have another

Haircare (2)

Sleek’e Silk’e Deep Conditioning Hair Mask I hated the scent of this it stuck around and it was very heavy and old lady to me.

Repurchase: No

Arctic Fox Semi Permanent Dye in Sunset Orange this stuff washes out so fast but it also covers old dye pretty well so it is sorta pick what you need and I needed it to cover up the blue in my hair that kept coming back through every time I washed my hair.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (1)

The Bath Apothecary Under Eye Mask in The Phantom these were awful they were super wet and did not stay put at all even just sitting still.

What’s in My Trash? August 2023

Well this was a terrible month for empties thank goodness I had a huge buffer or I would have been in bad situation.

Skincare (5)

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50 this used to be my favorite but I prefer the Supergoop ones now and they are slightly cheaper too as a bonus.

Repurchase: No

Skin Gym Red Carpet VIP Gold Foil Face Mask this was fine it had a ton of serum in it that I was able to jar up and use for a few days it was really sticky though. Not my favorite mask ever.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Super Peptide Serum I liked this while I had it it was a nice texture.

Repurchase: Maybe

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb this is really nice and moisturizing it feels quite nice under my eyes but it doesn’t have any anti-aging benefits so even though I quite like it I wouldn’t want to use it long term.

Repurchase: Maybe

Tony Moly I’m Aloe Sheet Mask these are nice. They don’t do anything special except be cool and moisturizing but sometimes that all you need.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

FCS Spa Mist in Fresh Start this was fun you spray it into the stream of the shower and it makes it kinda smell spa like and it is really nice.

Repurchase: No it was a nice treat but not needed

Yuni Shower Sheets I keep these in my car and travel bags to use as wet wipes and body wipes and what ever I need them for they are really nice and big and thick and smell nice but they are super wet so not the best if you get anything like messy or sticky on your hands or something.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Cereal Marshmallow Bar Candle one of my favorite candles ever the scent was amazing and the scent throw was also amazing. I forgot to take a picture of this and threw it out sorry.

Repurchase: If they brought it back yes

Lichen & Limestone Candle in Aces this was very dark academia scent vibes and the crackling was really nice. I don’t really like these candles though because the wicks are never set properly so when you get to the last 1/3 of the candle the wick starts moving around and it ruins the candle you can’t burn it because it isn’t really safe to do so and that’s a real shame.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Essence Lip Care Lip Serum this was sticky and it didn’t sink in and I really just didn’t care for it at all. Also the wand is shorter then the tube so you can’t reach the bottom.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Lancome Lash Idole Mascara this was fine it dried out super fast though. It didn’t make my eyes itchy like a lot of lancome mascaras do. I prefer a natural bristle brush not the rubber ones so this is not ideal for me.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

FCS Aloe Me Whipped Cream in Namastay Home this was really nice summer lotion super light nice light scent cooling. Really nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (2)

By/ Rosie Jane Everday Body Oil in Wake the F*ck Up this was a nice body oil it was extra greasy but it did soak in really well and quickly the scent was also really nice it came out a lot more in the oil then in the body wash.

Repurchase: No too expensive

Soap & Glory The Real Zing Body Scrub this was a good enough body scrub I liked the texture I liked the scent I like the Tree Hut ones more.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Clean Classic Rain this kinda smelled like laundry it was too light and clean for my tastes.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Ulta Beauty Pixar Finding Nemo Body Lotion in Berry Sorbet I really couldn’t stand the scent of this it was more floral and powdery then berry.

This was a terrible month the 3absolutel worst paid versus spent ratio and the second least used items and second least value. Not great. I am still on track to hit my goals for the year and hoping to really use alot over the next few months.
