What’s In My Trash? June 2024

Rough month for empties. I used practically nothing. I did do some auditing of like “lost” items somethings that were still on the list that have just poofed into nonexistence so the numbers have gone down alot but I will always wonder where those items disappeared too lol.

Earth to Skin Super Fruits Prickly Pear Sheet Mask this was nice very milk ton of serum there was a bunch I was able to use on my chest and arms. it smelled really scented at first but it faded away quick.

Repurchase: No

No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Day Cream SPF 25 this was very thick and sticky and white.

Repurchase: No

Bath Apothecary Face Scrub in Wayward Children this didn’t have enough particles to be really scrubby but it still did the job as a face wash.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Scholl’s Tired Achy Feet Soothing & Reviving Foot Mask these are really soothing like they don’t fully fix a problem but they sure help take the edge of a little.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Sunshine Mimosa Fine Fragrance Mist I used this as a room spray it was fine.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle in Suntan I love this scent it smells like sunscreen and the beach. This candle is from at least two years ago and still smells good but I feel like the scent throw has really gone downhill.

Repurchase: I don’t know

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips this wasn’t really tinted it was fine I like the aloe one more.

Repurchase: No

Nyx Plump Right Back Plumping Serum Primer this is a really nice primer it does give some plumping/filling to the skin and its sticky enough to really hold on to make up but with out breaking me out a way a lot of really sticky primes can.

Lotion (1)

Body Butter in Lila Reyes I loved this I wish I knew the brand but there is nothing on the packaging. This just had a very unique like calming minty sleepytime sent and the lotion was very moisturizing and light.

Repurchase: I wish I could.

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Wild Strawberry Leaf this was fine it barely had a scent.

Repurchase: No

IGK Pay Day Instant Repair Shampoo I really liked these. They worked well for my hair.

Repurchase: Already Have

Artic Fox Hair Color in Sunset Orange it doesn’t last long but it is easy to use smells good easy to wash out. So I go back to it.

Repurchase: Yes

Bumble and Bumble bb Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Mask I actually really liked this it made my hair feel really thick and healthy.

Repurchase: Maybe

The Balm Bronzilla I didn’t really like how this picked up on my brush and I have 50 million bronzers so this can go.

V. Kosmetik Lightweight Powder Blush in Natural Kiss I really liked the color of this blush unfortunately it broke so that really sucks.

Tattoo Junkee Lip Gloss in Dreamer this just bleeds everywhere.

Brow Bar By Reema Bombshell Brow Kit in Dark I just never reach for this and it is so bulky so it needs to go.


Feels good to get like a few declutters out.

What’s In My Trash? February 2024

Well after a concerted effort I am still 5 items more then I started the year with. Yay me.

Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum(x2) I don’t love this I don’t love the texture I prefer the oil a lot more and would get that over this for sure.

Repurchase: No

Julep Beauty Makeup Remover Towelettes in Cleansing I don’t use wipes often I had these for like a solid 9 months before they dried out with just a couple left. These were good. I would use them again if I had them.

Repurchase: No, I use wipes so infrequently I would buy something random and cheap probably

Mario Badescu Spray in Green Tea I like these sprays because they are cheap and I like ending with a spray step but I don’t think these really do anything that other than feel nice.

Repurchase: Yes

NuFace Exfoliating Wipes these are my favorite wipes they make my skin feel clean but not damaged or irritating and they are special treats for when I really am just not feeling up washing my face but need to. They are so expensive at $2 a wipe though its painful to consider buying more.

Repurchase: Maybe

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel this made my skin feel a little softer but if you aren’t using this regularly you aren’t going to see results.

Repurchase: No

Dove Caring Coconut Antiperspirant I like these they are smooth they work they run out super fast though. I like to switch up brands every so often I feel like I get use to them and they don’t work as well.

Repurchase:  Yes

Bath and Body Works Ice Cream Bar Candle this was sweet and vanilla ice cream it was nice not fantastic.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Winterberry Ice this really didn’t have much scent and burned through pretty quick.

Repurchase: No

Natural Pure Honest Candle in Bite & Sting I didn’t love the scent on this it burned pretty smokey as well.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Scented Candle in Strawberry Basil this was ok. You could smell the strawberry more than the basil.

Repurchase: Maybe

Trader Joe’s Scented Candle in Watermelon Mint this had no scent.

Repurchase: No

Vaseline Lip Therapy Aloe Vera I enjoyed this it was super soft and balmy. Not super moisturizing though.

Repurchase: No

Ahava Deadsea Water Mineral Body Lotion in Sea-kissed I like these lotions a lot thye are thin and they smell nice.

Repurchase: No too expensive

Mario Badescu Coconut Body Butter this was a good lotion I really liked it. It was thick it smelled nice it was moisturizing.

Repurchase: Maybe

Espa Exfoliating Body Polish hated this not scrubby enough and way to liquidy.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Shower Gel I love this it smells like chocolate how could you not.

Repurchase: Yes

Lush Shower Gel in Snow Fairy I love this scent but not a huge fan of the glitter in it. It was a nice treat. It is super sweet and really foamy.

Repurchase: Yes

Mane and Tail Shampoo well I used this and it was fine I used this for like a year and there’s still more in here but I am going to use the rest on my pup. It worked for me and her lol as it was supposed to and it is so cheap and smells good. I am bored after using it for a whole year so I will be trying something new but it is a perfectly good shampoo.

Repurchase: Maybe

Mane and Tail Conditioner this was really thick and a little hard to rinse out but it smelled good and made my hair soft I liked it fine. But after a year I am super bored and ready to move on.

Repurchase: Maybe

3ina Cosmetics The 24H Pen Eyeliner this is a really good black eyeliner I really like it but I have 100 black eyeliners so I gave it away.
