What’s In My Trash? December 2024

nightmareb4Leave a comment

Here we are finishing out the year. I think i really need to lower my goals I’ve been ambitious and have not been meeting them.

Skincare (7)

FCS Superfruit Facial Oil in You’re So Beautiful I ended up using this as a hand oil and loved it for that but the scent was so strong good but strong that I just could not tolerate it on my face but I love a body oil and hand oil so I enjoyed this a ton just not for its intended purpose.

Repurchase: Eh it’s too expensive at this size for what I use it for.

Leaders Pore-Scaling Black Aqua this is just a sheet mask nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mask this was really nice maybe my skin look and feel good but I wouldn’t buy such an expensive sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Soothing Sheet Mask this is fine just a sheet mask a little wet but not too drippy.

Repurchase: Maybe

R.E.M. Beauty Full Night’s Sleep Cooling Blurring Undereye Balm I actually really liked this it had a cooling matte effect and it was smooth and nice and I did make my under eyes look and feel smoother and depuffed. Didn’t do much for brightening or moisturizing.

Repurchase: Probably

Vitamasques Snow Glow Eye these were super cute  but they didn’t do a ton and they did slide around even though I wasn’t doing anything.

Repurchase: No

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser I unfortunately really liked this it was scrubby my skin felt good and clean and soft I don’t love that the beads didn’t all break but still nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Random (3)

Vitamasques Candy Cane Foot this was good I liked it very moisturizing.

Repurchase: Yes

Degree Ultra Clear Pure Rain Deodorant its good deodorant but it is not clear it leaves terrible white stains.

Repurchase: Maybe

Vitamasques Wonderland Foot this was not as good as the candy cane one this was much less moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (1)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hanukkah I still love this the scent is great.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (3)

Trader Joe’s Flavored Overnight Lip Mask in Gummy Bear this was fine it tasted good but it was not particularly long lasting.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Flavored Lip Balm Butter in Gummy Bear I didn’t really like this it tasted good like gummy bears but it was kinda sticky and wore away really quick.

Repurchase: No

Basin Lip Balm in Chinese Mandarin these are good lip balms I like them.

Repurchase: Maybe

Makeup (2)

Colourpop No Filter Concealer in Fair 00 I mostly used this as an eye base but I’ve used over half the doe foot broke it isn’t the best base and I have better so it is just time to let this go.

Repurchase: No

m2u nyc Eye Primer in Nude this is just a nude primer I do not like it more then Urban Decay or Two Faced and because primer lasts so freaking long like literally years I rather pay more for something I know I like.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

FCS Perfume Oil in Recently Deceased this grew on me the top notes were very graveyard-y and fresh but then it wore down be more sweet and warm. I found the contrast jarring at first but it really grew on me and I ended up really liking it.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (1)

Eva Nyc Therapy Session Hair Mask I really like this hair mask it makes my hair feel super soft.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (1)

Lolavie Glossing Detangler this I don’t have a picture of because I gave it away but this did the opposite of detangling it made my hair sticky.

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.

This really feels like a holiday present box like I was so happy when I opened it even though alot of the items are not for me.

Batiste Touch Activated Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 108 g

Full Size Cost: $12.49

Sample Size: 30 g

Total Value: $3.47

Dry Shampoo is something I usually don’t have a lot of back stock of I have tried 2 different Batiste dry shampoos and didn’t like either of them but this one is totally different so I will give it a try.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream

Full Size: 425 g

Full Size Cost: $14.99

Sample Size: 22 g

Total Value: $0.78

Very basic lotion but a good thing for the winter for sure.

Palmer’s Shimmer Radiance Body Oil

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $13.99

Sample Size: 10 ml

Total Value: $0.93

I do not want a glitter oil but this is enough to do your legs for sure.

elf Suntouchable! Invisible Sunscreen

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $14.00

I have tried this before and I didn’t like it. It is supposed to be a dupe for the Super Goop sunscreen but this is a little too oily for me compared to that one.

Plum Beauty Contouring Facial Roller

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $13.37

I find this kind of facial roller to be really pinchy on my skin and I don’t like this so I will pass this along this is really heavy though its a metal roller.

We got two full size products which is always nice in this box.

Lotion (1)

Hempz Citrine Crystal & Quartz Herbal Body Moisturizer this smelled citrusy. It is a nice enough lotion but I hate the shape of the bottle its hard to fit in a little bag its impossible to get all the lotion out. It just annoys me so I wouldn’t even actively purchase a bottle this shape.
