What’s In My Trash? September 2024

nightmareb4

This month was crazy bad. I used up barely anything and got a ton of new stuff in oops. I did declutter a ton of stuff so that’s cool.

Skincare (5)

Acure Brightening 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum I don’t know that this did anything but I liked the texture.

Repurchase: No

Petrichor Ink Face Cleanser in Sydney this was too creamy for my liking but it smelled nice and it did clean my face. This company I think is out of business now though.

Repurchase: No

Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream this was thick and sticky and I didn’t find it to moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Lychee Face Mask very moisturizing smelled nice stayed on well and enough serum to rub on my neck and chest which I appreciate.

Repurchase: Yes

Paula’s Choice Youth -Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 I didn’t love this it was super liquidy and a little hard to get out of the tube and to blend in.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (1)

Mugxury Candles Hot Cocoa this was not that great it smelled really good but it burned so smokey like so much black smoke I could only burn this with the window open which is not ideal and didn’t feel super safe.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Lip Balm in Vanilla Bean I really liked these flavor and textures were good will buy in the future if they come out with more for sure.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (1)

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Candy Cane I like these scrubs this scent was great.

Repurchase: Yes

Perfume (1)

Vacation By Vacation EDT this did not last long on my skin and somehow didn’t smell as good as the sunscreen did. I am glad I tried it I would have been always curious but it wasn’t a high-quality perfume.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (8)

NudeStix NudeScreen Lip Primer SPF 30 hate this has a really gritty powdery but also slimy slippy texture. It is drying and get every where and it’s just bad.

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment I have tried this before like on a one off in a foil packet at least once but probably twice and never liked it. This was going to be my last shot with it and omg this might be the worst thing I have ever tried in my whole life first off it is super thick and stick and doesn’t absorb well. Second and more importantly this some how migrated into my eyes with out me noticing and ate through my contacts and cause me a whole shit ton of eye problems. I thought I was crazy stopped using it got myself all better tried it one more time the next day all those problems were back so clearly this product is not good I would not recommend this to literally anyone because that is an insane thing to have happen.

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in 405 Guest of Honor I love this formula just not this color its too pink and makes me look a little dead.

Mac Stack Mascara I didn’t like this mascara last month so going to pass this unopened tube on.

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip in Rose this was sticky and the color did nothing for me.

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Mauve this was too much like a slidey cream lipstick and that just isn’t what I am ever looking for.

Joah Wat-a-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Dragon Punch didn’t love the color or application of this.

Adesse New York All Day Lip Creme in Beverly Blvd didn’t love the color or the crème formula and it had that old school lipstick flavor bleh.

nightmareb4

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.

Less items then usual this time but a really good box still two full size items and a brand new item that I have been pretty curious about so its really a cool box.

Sundae Whipped Shower Foam in Passionfruit Pop

Full Size: 260 g

Full Size Cost: $15.98

This smells so good I can really smell the Lime, Plum and Passionfruit. I don’t normally love these whipped body wash but this smells so good that I will give it a try anyway.

Olay Cleansing Melts

Full Size: 12 pads

Full Size Cost: $4.94

Sample Size: 4 pads

Total Value: $1.65

These are definitely the most affordable single use washing cloths I have seen. I would never use these as an all the time face wash but I am super excited to try these next month while I am traveling and see if this can be a viable travel option because this could be exactly what I have been wanting.

Covergirl Perfect Point Plush Lashline Micro Eye Pencil

Full Size: 0.06 g

This is tiny but also kinda scratchy Idk how well this will go for me i don’t like scratchy liners.

Nautica Blue Cologne

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $16.08

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Total Value: $0.19

Well as value goes this is kinda worthless but it smells nice it’ll get used up.

I’m so excited about the face wash and the body was that I don’t care that the other two items are pretty so so.

FabFitFun Box Fall 2024

nightmareb4

FabFitFun Box

Cost: $54.99 a Season Annual/$59.99 Seasonal

Cycle: Every Season/4x a year

What is it: Every season FabFitFun sends 6 to 8 items valued at $300+. Annual members get to customize their entire box as well as the option to swap out for credit to shop with instead of getting a box. Annual members also get add-ons and faster shipping and earlier access to customizations.

Seasonal Members get to pick 4 of their items as well as the option to swap out their box for credit to shop with as well.

I use this box alot for needs and gifts and this was heavy on the things that are gifts with Christmas being right around the corner. About the mold situation from last time they ended up just giving me a $25 dollar credit to the shop so I was able to just spend it on some stuff so that was the resolution there.

Blume Power Patches

Full Size Cost: $15

That is an insane price for 4 nose strips like these better be the best nose strips in the world. I like to have one or two on hand in case of nose black head emergencies but these are super bad for your skin in general and something I use like once or twice a year at max.

Dove Plant Milk Cleansing Bar in Coconut Milk & Sugar Lychee

Full Size Cost: $5.97

This was like a free gift they threw in I didn’t choose this. It smells great but I don’t use bar soap.

Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Cocoa Creme

Full Size Cost: $22

I don’t know if I am going to like this. It is a nice brown sheer color but it is really sticky and doesn’t taste much like chocolate.

Elemis Superfood Glow Cleansing Balm

Full Size Cost: $45

I don’t love the Elemis cleansing balms the texture doesn’t do it for me and they don’t remove makeup but I couldn’t resist the temptation to try the pretty orange glowy one. So here’s hoping I do not regret choosing this.

Marlyn Schiff Adjustable Pave Multi Disc Ring

Full Size Cost: $42

This is an item I grabbed as a gift it kinda give slight Kendra Scott Vibes.

Ellie Vail Ilavia Medium Hoop Earrings

Full Size Cost: $62

This price is a little crazy these are not even gold plated but they are stainless steel and waterproof. I grabbed these to have for gifting they are nicer then I thought but not $62 dollars nice.

Puma Evercat Myriad Slingback Bag

Full Size Cost: $45

I saw this and instantly had to choose it it perfectly matches a pair of puma sneakers my aunt has and I can’t wait to give it to her. It is super cute nice quality has a few pockets it is really nice.

Half Gifts and half beauty stuff that I can use. Kinda meh for a fall box was not feeling the fall vibes here.

Value: $236.97
