What’s In My Trash? September 2024

This month was crazy bad. I used up barely anything and got a ton of new stuff in oops. I did declutter a ton of stuff so that’s cool.

Acure Brightening 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum I don’t know that this did anything but I liked the texture.

Repurchase: No

Petrichor Ink Face Cleanser in Sydney this was too creamy for my liking but it smelled nice and it did clean my face. This company I think is out of business now though.

Repurchase: No

Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream this was thick and sticky and I didn’t find it to moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Sephora Lychee Face Mask very moisturizing smelled nice stayed on well and enough serum to rub on my neck and chest which I appreciate.

Repurchase: Yes

Paula’s Choice Youth -Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 I didn’t love this it was super liquidy and a little hard to get out of the tube and to blend in.

Repurchase: No

Mugxury Candles Hot Cocoa this was not that great it smelled really good but it burned so smokey like so much black smoke I could only burn this with the window open which is not ideal and didn’t feel super safe.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Lip Balm in Vanilla Bean I really liked these flavor and textures were good will buy in the future if they come out with more for sure.

Repurchase: Yes

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Candy Cane I like these scrubs this scent was great.

Repurchase: Yes

Vacation By Vacation EDT this did not last long on my skin and somehow didn’t smell as good as the sunscreen did. I am glad I tried it I would have been always curious but it wasn’t a high-quality perfume.

Repurchase: No

NudeStix NudeScreen Lip Primer SPF 30 hate this has a really gritty powdery but also slimy slippy texture. It is drying and get every where and it’s just bad.

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment I have tried this before like on a one off in a foil packet at least once but probably twice and never liked it. This was going to be my last shot with it and omg this might be the worst thing I have ever tried in my whole life first off it is super thick and stick and doesn’t absorb well. Second and more importantly this some how migrated into my eyes with out me noticing and ate through my contacts and cause me a whole shit ton of eye problems. I thought I was crazy stopped using it got myself all better tried it one more time the next day all those problems were back so clearly this product is not good I would not recommend this to literally anyone because that is an insane thing to have happen.

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in 405 Guest of Honor I love this formula just not this color its too pink and makes me look a little dead.

Mac Stack Mascara I didn’t like this mascara last month so going to pass this unopened tube on.

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip in Rose this was sticky and the color did nothing for me.

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Mauve this was too much like a slidey cream lipstick and that just isn’t what I am ever looking for.

Joah Wat-a-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Dragon Punch didn’t love the color or application of this.

Adesse New York All Day Lip Creme in Beverly Blvd didn’t love the color or the crème formula and it had that old school lipstick flavor bleh.

Another not great month but alot less came into the stash this month so that is a good thing very slowly inching towards my goal but I do not see myself meeting it at all.

Dermelect Outcrease Retinol Trifecta Serum I don’t think this did much and I couldn’t tell but I think it was breaking me out. It was really oily too which was odd for a retinol.

Repurchase: No

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum this didn’t really do anything at all.

Repurchase: No

Kaja Mist Me Hydrating Face Mist in 01 Pina Colada really didn’t like this it was really heavy feeling and it didn’t smell like pina colada.

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: No

Kiehl’s Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate I never get a big enough sample to know if this is really working but it has a odd almost grainy but dry kinda of texture.

Repurchase No

Repurchase: No

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Exfoliating Body Wash in Beach You Off I didn’t love the texture or the scent of this it was really thick and hard to lather.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Perfume Oil in Summer Girl this smelled really good and it did smell summery beachy and fruity.

Repurchase: Maybe, these are hard because they are limited edition so you rarely can ever get them again.

Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier Divine this smelled really sexy and it was good but I am not really a sexy perfume person so I have mixed feelings.

Repurchase: No

Bare Minerals Mineralist Lip Gloss Balm in Sincerity so sticky.

Nyx Shout Loud Lipstick in Red Haute pretty color but it just slides around way to much.
