What’s in My Trash? June 2023

nightmareb4

Another month where every number either didn’t change or went down I am so excited about that.

Skincare (12)

Shiseido Urban Environment Age Defense SPF 42 this is fine. It doesn’t break me out which is a big plus but this would get in my eyes and sting really bad. This has a nice dry feel though which I really like.

Repurchase: Maybe

Beekman 1802 Golden Booster Amla Berry Vitamin C Brightening Serum this is fine I wouldn’t buy it again it is too small for the price and the packaging makes it hard to get every last drop out and it a clear bottle so it isn’t protecting the integrity of the Vitamin C.

Repurchase: No

Bliss Drench & Quench All Day Moisture Serum this was fine it is just a hydrating serum it was fine.

Repurchase: Maybe

Pickle’s Potion Strawberry Cleanse Balm I don’t really know where this came from but it was actually really nice and gentle in the shower and maybe my skin feel good.

Repurchase: No

Cover Fx Invisible Primer SPF 30 I never really used this as a primer under make up I just used it as a blurring sunscreen I really liked it a lot but I think it has been discontinued and it was expensive.

Repurchase: No

NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth these are my favorite face wipes but at $2 a wipe I only use them as a treat.

Repurchase: No but I would if I got them for free I love them.

Supergoop Every.Single.Face Watery Lotion SPF 50 this I did not like it was chunky and watery.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Cozy Hot Chocolate Skin Smoothing Peel Off Mask this made my skin feel soft but it was messy and drippy and super fragranced.

Repurchase: No

Essence Hello, Good Stuff! Milky Face Moisturizer  I didn’t like this it was very milk and didn’t blend in or absorb into my skin well.

Repurchase: No

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer UV this was very thick not a fan.

Repurchase: No

Tony Moly Peach Punch Cleansing Tissue these were pretty soapy and I don’t prefer that in my wipes. They smelled really nice though.

Repurchase: No

Urban Decay Quick Fix Hydra Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray this is my favorite facial spray but it is really pricey and there are just cheaper ones to fit my needs.

Repurchase: Maybe

Random (1)

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Oh, Pool Boy! These are pretty much the only hand sanitizers I use and I like them. If I ever run through my stash of these I probably will buy more.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Honey Nut Cheerios Milk Bottle Candle just working my way through these candles that I don’t like.

Repurchase: No

Count Chocula Marshmallow Candle this was so so good I don’t even care that much that you can’t burn these all the way through because of it being in a mason jar because they smell so good and burn for a long time. I wish I knew the name of the seller. I home I find them at a con again some day.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (1)

Covergirl Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara in 105 Black this was very unimpressive it did nothing special at all.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Fresh Milk Hand Cream this did kinda smell like milk not in a super unpleasant way but not in a way I liked either. It was also pretty greasy.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

VS Coco Wash Coconut Oil Moisturizing Cream Body Wash this had no scent and I never really fely clean after using it. There is probably one more use in there but I couldn’t get it out and I don’t care enough to cut it open.

Repurchase: No

Body Prescriptions Body Scrub in Apple of my Pie this was a really good scrub I got a tone of uses out of it I would totally buy more from this brand if I saw it again at Marshall’s.

Repurchase: Yes

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in Coconut Lime I use this all the time this is my favorite stuff to shave with.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (5)

Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam Cleanse + Smooth this never really made my hair feel clean but it did help it smell freshly wash and helped a little to make it easier to style when it was dirty but this is not a thing I regularly need it took me like a year and a half to use.

Repurchase: No

FCS Hair Oil in Dead & Breakfast I could literally cry because this is gone. It smelled like fruit loops and it was so good. I love their hair oils I find them very moisturizing.

Repurchase: Yes

Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair (x2) I needed both tubes of this to cover all my hair. I really don’t think this did anything for my hair. It smelled nice though.

Repurchase: No

Hask Argan Oil Repairing Deep Conditioner this was just fine I prefer the Marc Anthony ones for sure if you are looking for a cheap packet hair mask.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Blinc Ultra Volume Tubing Mascara I haven’t really decluttered that much this year but I used this twice and I hated it. It was hard to apply it clumped really bad it was hard to remove it took my eyelashes with it when I removed it. Just no.

Used alot up this month really doing well on my numbers too so yay.

Macy’s Beauty Box June 2023

nightmareb4

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.

All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.

Not my most favorite Macy’s box this month that’s for sure

Givenchy Irresistible Rose Velvet Perfume

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $87

Sample Size: 1 ml

Value: $2.90

I can’t use rose perfume so this is a no for me.

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil in 01 Honey

Full Size: 7 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 1.4 ml

Value: $5.60

This has rose oil in it so I can’t use it but I am pretty sure I have tried these before and they are super sticky.

Smashbox Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7

This primer is fine but it better under makeup and I have a few mini tubes of this more then I really need. I prefer primers I can wear on their own because I do like a light layer of primer sometimes even if I don’t want to wear foundation.

It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara in Waterproof

Full Size: 9 ml

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $15.56

I hate waterproof mascara so this is also not for me. I don’t love Superhero mascara though I find it really dry and spikey.

Lancome Idole Ultra Precise Waterproof Liner

Full Size: 1 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 0.6 ml

Value: $13.80

I have this liner in the full size and it is really black and really liquidy but also really hard to work with and really smeary if I am not careful.

Blotting Papers

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4

These are unbranded blotting papers I just linked to the Nyx ones because they are affordable.

Mac Fix+ Stay Over Setting Spray

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $33

Sample Size: 13 ml

Value: $4.29

This is the only thing in the box that I am keeping but I really like Mac Fix plus so that is good. even though this box was a dud for me personally.

Walmart Spring 2023 Beauty Box Subscription Box Review

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $6.98

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends a little sample products of all sorts of health and beauty type items. It used to be a free sample box with $5 shipping. But they have now changed it to a $6.98 box with free shipping with the promise of better and more full size items.

The size of products in this box was fantastic this season that is for sure.

Kiss Colors & Care Glamour Glitter Bonnet Cap

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $4.19

While I could probably benefit from a sleeping bonnet my hair is so fragile I would never be able to fall asleep with something on my head its a personal thing. Also Glitter Pink is not my vibe. But this is really cool and a really great item to get in a box like this.

Salon Perfect Mani To Go

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $6.74

They include press on nails often it feels like in these boxes which is probably super thrilling for people I don’t personally use them so I just pass them along.

Bolden Dark Spot Fix

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

I stopped using dark spot correctors and I really need to get back on it. This is amazing full size $19 that is triple the cost of the box in one item.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss in 100 Let’s Get Fizzical

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $10.99

This is so cute. Its just a clear gloss but the packaging is so cute and it is huge.

Hask Argan Oil 5 in 1 Leave-In Spray

Full Size: 52 ml

Full Size Cost: $3

This is even a full travel size. I like this brand alot they have some really nice products and I do use leave in sprays so I will get use out of this I may even travel with it I don’t know.

What a really great value for this box. Half the items I will use Half I won’t but that is still a massive win. I really love this box.
