What’s in My Trash? July 2023

nightmareb4

I did really well this month. Vacation months I always do well because I use up so many mini things. Though I have lost some item pictures along the way. I I am actually ahead of my goal So I could use up nothing in August and still be on track so that is pretty awesome.

Skincare (13)

CosRX Master Path Original Fit Blemish Covers these are good they help pull the gunk out and just help keep blemishes cleaner and reduces my desire to pick at them. These aren’t medicated and I do prefer medicated ones a little more.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fresh Black Tea Komnucha Facial Treatment Essence I don’t think this did anything it only lasted like a few days.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Dew Cream I liked this it was super hydrating and felt really nice on the texture was really gel like but also silky.

Repurchase: Maybe

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate I really don’t vibe with Shiseido skincare I don’t feel like it does anything for me and is super overpriced.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Jart+ DermaClear Micro Makeup Remover (3x) these are really soapy. I don’t care for them the size is useful for travel but I would not re buy these.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Facial Setting Spray SPF 50 the scent was really chemically and strong and it was a bit sticky I didn’t love it the pump spray didn’t work great either.

Repurchase: No

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel did not like this did not feel like it cleaned my skin at all.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Orange Blossom I really like this I enjoy the scent the spray is my calming thing I like to do before bed. I don’t think it really does anything.

Repurchase: Yes

Lancome Renergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra SPF 30 hated this it was super floral scented and pretty thick and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Indie Lee Banish Solution I like having one of these on hand and I go this for free I would never spend this much on a sulfur solution like this it is $32 which is insane I also found this one in particular pretty flakey and it would get on my pillow cases and my clothes.

Repurchase: No

Perricone MD Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Soothing & Hydrating Eye Cream this was fine it wasn’t that hydrating and it didn’t really do anything.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Dove Go Fresh Revive Antiperspirant I use these a lot I rotate between Dove and Degree.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Swan Creek Candle Co. Drizzle Melt in Roasted Espresso I am down to just one wax melt left which means I can buy some this fall which is so super exciting to me!! I love this one it is one of my all time favorites it smells like coffee you can get a few melts out of each cube it has great throw I really recommend these ones.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist in Fresh Sea Salt Mango this I would never have worn as a perfume it smelled like a room spray it was very salt forward which I liked but sometimes was too much.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

Truly Pineapple Haze CBD Glossy Lip Butter this didn’t taste like pineapples and for that I feel like it wasn’t worth the price tag. It lasted for ever though I used this for so long. It also tinted my lips green which was a bit odd. Much prefer the Laniege one and I don’t even love that one.

Repurchase: No

Carmex Lip Balm in Strawberry I really prefer the unflavored Carmex but this was nice to try out.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

It Cosmetics Superhero Liner I really like this liner but its all dried up now. I used this for a long time. It is really black really easy to use really good staying power even in rain or sweat.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (3)

FCS The Droids You Are Looking For Hand Lotion I have used this hand lotion as my travel hand lotion for years and it is kinda sad to see it go.

Repurchase: No, they don’t even make this anymore

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Energizing Lotion got this at a hotel loved the scent it was a good lotion you can’t actually buy this though there was a time that this was sold in store it is only provided to hotels now.

Repurchase: Can’t

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream in Midnight Amber Glow I really enjoyed the scent of this it was really warm and wintery. I love these hand creams I didn’t like the way they did the label on this it got all flakey and left little bits every where.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (2)

FCS Lava Exfoliating Body Wash in Beach House this had no scent and wasn’t super scrubby it was just a travel body wash I used up while I was away.

Repurchase: No

By/ Rosie Jane Everyday Body Wash in Wake the F*ck Up this smelled nice but it wasn’t great it took a lot to work up a nice lather. And it didn’t leave that super clean feeling.

Perfume (6)

Juicy Couture Gold Perfume I really liked this it is very warm and sweet not so great for the summer but not overwhelming either.

Repurchase: Yes

YSL Black Opium Illicit Green Perfume this was fine I don’t really have any strong memories of it.

Viva La Juicy Perfume this is pretty much my signature scent so this will always be in my collection in some form.

Repurchase: Yes

Atelier Cologne Clementine California meh this in a dab style the scent did come across it was too light I have had this as a spray and it is better that way.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum I finished this up on vacation but lost the picture of it. I really like this it is super glossy and shiny and a little goes a long way.

Repurchase: Yes

Matrix Unbreak My Blonde Shampoo I used this after most of my bleach appointments for the past year or so I think it helped make my hair stronger but it is hard to say really.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (1)

Colourpop Crème Gel Liner in Jubilee this broke so that was the end of that I like it while I had it I love red eyeliners. These Colourpop ones are cheap and come in a ton of fun colors.

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.
