What’s In My Trash? March 2024

Wooo actually under my starting number by 4 items that’s great gotta keep that momentum going.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream I love this cream its really light and refreshing. I really love it I never buy it because it’s a little pricey for just moisture and I have so many moisturizers but I would buy it if I had the need.

Repurchase: Maybe

Algenist Triple Eye Renewal Balm I really didn’t like this it was thick I don’t feel like it did much it wasn’t even that moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray I bought this because I really wanted to just try some new face sprays. This was supposed to be calming but I just felt meh about it.

Repurchase: No

Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels these work my undereyes were super dry and itchy and dehydrated and this really made a visible significant difference.

Repurchase: Yes

Peter Thomas Roth Goodbye Acne Complete Acne Treatment Gel this was a good Acne treatment it did work but so do things that are far less expensive than this. I suspect if I was younger and having more serious acne problems and could use this up faster with it being gentle but still effective that would be valuable to me but since that’s not the stage I’m in this cost is not in proportion to my need.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skinactive Moisture Bomb The Super Hydrating Mask Anti-Fatigue x2 I really like this mask I think it is really soothing and really does depuff and make my skin feel and look better. It also has a ton of serum that I can save and use for a day or two after.

Repurchase: Yes

Sweet & Shimmer Scented Wipes in Gum Drop I like these for swatches and just cleaning my hands when I’m crafting and stuff like that but I don’t think they make the scented ones anymore I have only see the unscented ones the last few holidays makes me sad.

Repurchase: If they come back

Dove Sensitive Deodorant I don’t this this was a terribly effective deodorant and it left really bad white marks.

Repurchase: No

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Tin Candle this has no scent throw and they are hard to clean but the little containers are cute.

Repurchase: No

Victoria Secret Candle in Coco this had no scent which is weird because the other ones in this line do have a great scent throw a bit odd.

Repurchase: No

VS Candle in Coco Pineapple this was a bit musky which not my favorite glad to be done with it.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle in Suntan one of my favorite scents the single candles do not have as good of a scent throw as the 3 wicks at all.

Repurchase: Only a 3 wick not the singles

Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Blackbeard this has a very gunpowdery manly smell that I’m not terriblely fond of but the scent throw was good.

Repurchase: No

Unplugged Book Box Candle in Sea God this burned fast it was gone in a day.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Hanukkah I love this it is smells so good and it lasts.

Repurchase: Yes

Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Lip Balm in Strawberry Guava these are great lip balms they work well and taste goods.

Repurchase: Yes

eos Lip Balm in Vanilla Mint I don’t love these balls I never did but it was nostalgic of the time when you had to have like ever color and flavor of them. They are just not convenient packaging to apply and iyoui can’t get all the balm unless you dig it out.

Repurchase: No

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips this is not very tinted and not as balmy as the aloe or the regular.

Repurchase: No

Purlisse BB Tinted Moist Cream SPF 30 I like this it doesn’t break me out it makes my skin look nice it isn’t full coverage or long lasting but I liked using it.

Repurchase: Maybe

KVD Good Apple Full-Coverage Serum Foundation I surprising really liked this considering I don’t really like full coverage foundations it didn’t sit terribly on my skin it didn’t feel super heavy but I think finsinf a shade match might be challenging. I cocktailed two of the samples together to get something that worked but I don’t know what the actual shade range it like.

Repurchase: Maybe

Lilly Lashes Triple X Mascara I thought I was going to love this the first few uses my lashes looked so good but then it was just dry hard to comb through and made my lashes really spikey and clumpy.

Repurchase: No

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Ultra-Hydrating Body Butter in Vanilla Apricot I wanted to like this but the apricot scent is just too off putting for me and I was struggling to get through this.

Repurchase: No

Alo Glow System Mega- C Body Wash this was boring it didn’t have a scent I don’t feel like it did anything special it was just a very boring body wash.

Repurchase: No

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in Candy Cane I love these I loved this scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Frank Body Cacao Coffee Scrub I hate these I hate coffee scrubs they are so messy they leave my shower a wreck they are hard to wash off I just don’t like the process involved even though the scrub is good I just can’t. Repurchase: No

FCS Perfume Oil in Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Things this was very sweet and had a lot of milk notes which isn’t my favorite but I didn’t hate it.

Repurchase: No

Lush Body Spray in Snow Fairy I love the Snow Fairy Scent and I haven’t had it in a super long time so this was a little Christmas treat to myself and it lasted a pretty long time.

Repurchase: Yes

Dove Dry Spray in Cool Essentials

Full Size: 28 g

Full Size Cost: $2.59

This is one of my preferred travel deodorants so I am pumped to get it because why are travel sized deodorants so damn expensive. This is cooling when it goes on and smells really refreshing and clean.

Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Restoring Solid Shampoo Bar

Full Size: 60 g

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Personally I do not like solid shampoo bars I find the mechanical suds action of them to be really harsh on my hair and even though this says its for my hair type I am just too nervous to use it. The scent of this is so strong like i can smell it two feet away from me. It is very honey but also a little floral.

I really didn’t care for any of the choices again this season which is a bit disappointing. The value is still here for sure but like it is getting boring.

Adina Eden Pavé Safety Pin Paperclip Bracelet

Full Size Cost: $48

This is way daintier and thinner then I was expecting. I grabbed this as a christmas present. I don’t wear jewelry like this.

Robe Curls The Original Curling Headband

Full Size Cost: $27.99

I have wanted to try this for awhile but not enough to spend the money on it. So this is a good chance to try it the next time I wash my hair I will be trying this. I like that it comes with the silk scrunchies I don’t know if they will work or if I will need to use regular hair bands but I love silk scrunchies and these are thin which is also nice.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo

Full Size: 156 g

Full Size Cost: $30

Size: 112 g

Value: $21.54

This is a good dry shampoo I like it and i never have a back stock so that was why I chose it but I have a big problem with this. One there is gunk on this which I could look past. BUT this is an old can They don’t sell the 4oz size any more so this has been sitting around for a long time. Which really isn’t cool.

Korres Renewing Body Cleanser in Santorini Grape

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $19

Cool a body wash not that exciting I haven’t liked any of the bodywashes I have tried from FabFitFun but I shall see how this is.

Yield Millenium Glasses – Pack of 4

Full Size Cost: $60

I find glasses like this too easy to knock over but they are super pretty and I have the perfect person in mind to gift them to. The seem really nice quality.

Beyond Yoga Convertible Gym Bag

Full Size Cost: $80

This is a cool bag it switches instantly from backpack to shoulder back its a good size has pockets and a separate bottom piece for shoes. I really like this and am glad I grabbed it for myself.


Overall it wasn’t a bad box I got gifts I got things I can use or wanted to try. I just wasn’t excited about the choices of items.

Value: $256.53
