What’s In My Trash? August 2025

nightmareb4

Well this was a huge declutter month for me. Kinda hoping to bring that same energy to September let’s see how that goes for me. When I am in the declutter mood I have to just go with it and it feels good to like free up space and just move some stuff out some times.

Skincare (2)

BRTC Vitamin A Velvet Mask Firming + Beta-Glucan this was fine I don’t know if it was firming but it was moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Tula Bedtime Bright Vita-Charge Overnight Brightening Treatment I didn’t care for this it was not brightening.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Dove Clinical Protection in Original Clean I hated this it was too thick it stained all my clothes and it made my skin itchy.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (1)

Trader Joe’s Room Spritz in Orange & Spice I didn’t really like this it smell artificial.

Repurchase: No

Lip (3)

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Vanilla I like this not as much as vanilla beige but I like that this is clear.

Repurchase: Maybe

Carmex Lip Balm I love Carmex lip balm. It’s a good texture and its cheap.

Repurchase: Yes

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment I don’t like the color of this even though the formula is nice.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (1)

eos Cashmere Body Wash in Vanilla Cashmere this was not the best I did feel like it lathered that well and it left my skin kinda dry.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture Peace Love and Juicy Couture this is one of my favorites its very bright and fresh and nice but not super long lasting.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (2)

Not Your Mother’s Matcha Green Tea & Wild Apple Blossom Butter Masque this is a fine hair mask. Its moisturizing and it smells really nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

IGK Antisocial Overnight Bond-Building Dry Hair Mask I don’t know that this did much bond building but it did make my hair feel a bit like I did a hair mask with out having to wash it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (14)

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk this is literally the color of my lips there is not point for me.

Giorgio Armani Lip Power Matte in 111 this is also the color of my lips and it doesn’t really dry down enough to be worth it.

Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick in 501 Casual Pink this was messy.

Marc Jacob Le Marc Liquid Lip Crayon Mini in Plum N Get It too messy and dark.

Colourpop x Tinkerbell Glossy Lip Stain in Tinkerbell I don’t love the formula of this and I really don’t love this pinky color so I am just going to display this. I have the other shade and I don’t hate it so ill try to use that one.

Wet n Wild Glitter Mascara I think this is so cool and I love the idea of glitter lashes but I’m really paranoid about getting glitter in my eyes and I’m just to scared to use this.

Suva Beauty Eyeshadow in Turmeric I don’t use this color and to keep a whole single to maybe use this shade once every 5 years is crazy.

The Beauty Crop Eyeshadow in Seren this is not a shade I use often and I have similar things so keeping a single is just not the move for me.

Hola Neon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in The Easy Sell this is a pretty color and once it dries it really stays but it bleeds so much while its drying and it’s hard to keep it looking nice and it does that  flaking thing a lot of liquid lipsticks can do.

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Nude

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Fushcia

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Lavender

I didn’t love the formula on the 2 I tried so just letting these go it was hard to blend and then wore away so quickly.

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Amazonian this shade just doesn’t look good on my the orange reads as like ill on my skin.

GlamGlow Good in Bed Passionfruit Softening Night Cream I just didn’t like this it was really sticky.

nightmareb4

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

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)

Repurchase: No

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

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.
