What’s In My Trash? September 2026

Woah 3 months ahead of schedule and I hit my goal for the year which is awesome because the last three months of there year are usually slower on using stuff up and things tend to start getting added as the holidays roll around. So being 4 items ahead is a small but positive start!

Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Whipped Cleansing Cream I really liked this face wash it made my skin feel clean and it was really soft and gentle and it was a great face wash.

Repurchase: Yes

Tony Moly Green Tea Superlight Daily Defense SPF 50 this was fine I liked enough enough.

Repurchase: Yes

Strivectin Advanced Retinol Nightly Renewal Moisturizer I really liked this moisturizer I really like Strivectin products I find them to be really effective.

Repurchase: Yes

Clinique Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum this was just a moisture serum nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Cleansing Room & Linen Spray in Pumpkin Butter this was great they are strong and you can really smell them I love the sprays from this brand.

Repurchase: Yes

Sand + Paws Candle Olive & Lemon this was a nice candle the scent wasn’t super strong but it was good at neutralizing scents and making the room smell fresh. It did not burn well though it was uneven and a little smokey sometimes because it was uneven.

Repurchase: Maybe

Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion this was a fine lotion not scent though.

Repurchase: Maybe

Dove Body Wash in Pistachio Gelato I did not like this as much as the other Dove Body washes I tried I feel like I used it up really quick and the scent was barely there when I was using it.

Repurchase: No

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Neon I really liked this one it did not wear as long as some of the other perfumes but I enjoyed it a lot.

Repurchase: Yes

OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo this was terrible it did not make my hair feel clean it was hard to rinse out it was drying.

Repurchase: No

Verb Hydrate Oil I found this to be too heavy for my hair it really didn’t sink in well.

Repurchase: No

Profusion Shimmer Lip Oil in Slytherin for a glitter lip gloss this is very comfortable but I just really don’t like glitter lip glosses so this just isn’t that appealing I gave it a try and now I’m getting rid of it.


Good month hopefully i can keep this energy up through the season where a bunch of stuff comes into my collection I really do not want to break 1000 items again.
