July started off strong and then went pretty downhill quick. OOPS

Skincare (8)

Mudmasky Mineral-Infused Bubble Cleansing Mask this was nice much thinner than I expected so not great at the masking part but in no way was this worth $59.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Food Story Mask Pomegranate Grenade this was fine nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Global Beauty Care Snail Spa Treatment Mask this was awful who ever cut this mask has never seen a human face before.

Repurchase: No

Tony Moly I’m Avocado Sheet Mask this was very moisturizing.

Repurchase: Maybe

Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Water Cream I didn’t like this it was pretty thick and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum I didn’t actually like this which is surprising I really like this line from then but this was kinda sticky and didn’t really do any brightening.

Repurchase: No

The Crème Shop Caffeine Eye Sheet Masks I don’t prefer these I would rather eye gels or a full sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Eye Cream my favorite eye cream I really think it works and I love the texture.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (1)

By/ Rosie Jane Everyday Deodorant in Wake the F*ck Up this smelled nice not sure that’s its really a great deodorant but it did come in clutch while I’m going through some things that have me unable to wear real deodorant for awhile.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (3)

FCS Scent Diffuser in Drop.Your.Sword. this smelled really sweet and I added it to my wax melter.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Tropical Cherry this smells good but the scent fades fast.

Repurchase: No

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Spearmint this had no scent throw but I do feel like it freshened up the air even though I couldn’t really smell it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lip (1)

Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask in Chocolate this tasted/smelled amazing like a Hershey chocolate bar, but it was so heavily tinted brown that it got on everything and stained pillowcases. A sleeping lip mask needs to be clear.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Fenty Flypencil Eyeliner in Cherry Punk loved this one of the best red eyeliners I have ever used.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (2)

FCS Whipped Soap in I am Kenough this smelled so good all fruity and the rainbow was so fun. I just don’t love having to scoop out my soap.

Repurchase: No

Supergoop Glow Oil SPF 50 I didn’t really love this it was very oily it I prefer my oils to dry down. Also the sprayer on this sucked it like spit at you and made a mess also I wanted it to have a scent and it doesn’t.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Olaplex No7 Bonding Oil loved this great hair oil didn’t do much for hydrating but really did make my hair feel healthier after I used it.

Repurchase: Yes

Madison Reed Pro Boost Hair Treatment in Hydrate this is fine nothing to that special but it was fine.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Laura Geller Prep Stick Lip Scrub hated this the texture was horrible it was not scrubby enough and tasted not great.

What’s In My Trash? June 2025

nightmareb4

This was a good month I did really well in bringing the collection down for sure.

Skincare (5)

Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Moisture Rescue Cream I really liked this it was a good cream it smelled like lemonade.

Repurchase: Maybe

Laneige Water Bank Soothing Gel Mask this was uncomfortable to wear but it did make my skin really plumped up and tight.

Repurchase: Maybe

Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum this is a good serum I still like Strivectin more for the price.

Repurchase: No

Cosrx Master Patch Intensive these were really good really clear and stayed really well and really sucked out the gunk and flattened things out, they are slow though I feel like they take twice as long but the results are better.

Repurchase: Yes

Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator this was fine very basic moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Sweet & Shimmer Unscented Makeup Remover Wipes these are fine wipes for getting swatches off or just wiping your hands.

Repurchase: Maybe

Scentered De-Stress Therapy Balm this didn’t work at all it wasn’t scented enough or linger long enough.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (6)

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Cleansing Room & Linen Spray in Bum Bum loved this smelled so good and lasted for a decent time in the room for a room spray.

Repurchase: YES

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Seaside Escape this had no scent throw.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Lucky Vibes this was a good wallflower I liked the Irish Cream scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Free People 1809 Surf Candle this is way to expensive for a candle that does nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Cozy Cup Latte this was really good it smelled like a caramel latte and it was really great.

Repurchase: YES

The Zodiac Boxx Aquarius Candle so this was a super fun candle the stones and jewelry and the glass are really nice and burned exceptionally well but it had no scent thrown.

Repurchase: Probably. I might just add some essential oils to it while it is burning

Lip (1)

Chap Ice Cherry Lip Balm I like Chap Ice enough for how cheap it is. It is really waxy but that is good as a barrier when its cold out.

Repurchase: These just show up in my life I don’t buy them

Lotion (4)

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream in Hot Cocoa & Cream love this scent a true favorite.

Repurchase: Yes

Kopari Ultra Restore Body Butter this was a great lotion really liked it. I don’t typically buy expensive lotions so I don’t know that I would get this again.

Repurchase: Maybe

Frudia My Orchard Peach Hand Cream this was a good hand cream had a good peach scent not too artificial and a good hand feel.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Body Frosting in Rice Kreepies I love this scent its like cookies and cream but I think I am over this frosting to oil formula.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (4)

Shea Moisture Calm & Clearing African Black Soap Body Wash this was boring but it was effective as body wash.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Shave Oil in Electric Beach I like this shave oil but it had no scent. I finally have started seeing other brands so I’m excited to try those.

Repurchase: Not this scent

Vacation Classic Spray SPF 50 Sunscreen I don’t like this sunscreen anymore I feel like when I was using it out in the true hot heat and sun it was fine but for everyday use it takes a long time to sink in and is a little sticky while it does. I prefer Hawaiian Tropic to this now and it’s a little cheaper so I would prefer to get that.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Peppermint Pearl this was fine not many uses in such a tiny jar.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (3)

IGK Pay Day Conditioner I used to love this I don’t think I don’t I do anymore.

Repurchase: Probably Not

Kenra Platinum Snail CC Crème I have only used 75% of this but I have had it for ever and I don’t really enjoy it anymore. It made my hair soft if I used it and then washed it out but also really sticky and greasy and that’s not really the point of this product. This was like me falling victim to the snail trend awhile back like that was never going to do anything for hair.

Repurchase: No, and it probably has been discontinued by now.

Monday Deep Moisture Hair Mask this was definitely not enough for all my hair so I just used it on the more damaged bottom half of my hair. It didn’t really do that much.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Berry Healthy it comfortable but I have this color in so many lipsticks.
