What’s in My Trash? August 2023

nightmareb4

Well this was a terrible month for empties thank goodness I had a huge buffer or I would have been in bad situation.

Skincare (5)

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50 this used to be my favorite but I prefer the Supergoop ones now and they are slightly cheaper too as a bonus.

Repurchase: No

Skin Gym Red Carpet VIP Gold Foil Face Mask this was fine it had a ton of serum in it that I was able to jar up and use for a few days it was really sticky though. Not my favorite mask ever.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Super Peptide Serum I liked this while I had it it was a nice texture.

Repurchase: Maybe

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb this is really nice and moisturizing it feels quite nice under my eyes but it doesn’t have any anti-aging benefits so even though I quite like it I wouldn’t want to use it long term.

Repurchase: Maybe

Tony Moly I’m Aloe Sheet Mask these are nice. They don’t do anything special except be cool and moisturizing but sometimes that all you need.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

FCS Spa Mist in Fresh Start this was fun you spray it into the stream of the shower and it makes it kinda smell spa like and it is really nice.

Repurchase: No it was a nice treat but not needed

Yuni Shower Sheets I keep these in my car and travel bags to use as wet wipes and body wipes and what ever I need them for they are really nice and big and thick and smell nice but they are super wet so not the best if you get anything like messy or sticky on your hands or something.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Cereal Marshmallow Bar Candle one of my favorite candles ever the scent was amazing and the scent throw was also amazing. I forgot to take a picture of this and threw it out sorry.

Repurchase: If they brought it back yes

Lichen & Limestone Candle in Aces this was very dark academia scent vibes and the crackling was really nice. I don’t really like these candles though because the wicks are never set properly so when you get to the last 1/3 of the candle the wick starts moving around and it ruins the candle you can’t burn it because it isn’t really safe to do so and that’s a real shame.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Essence Lip Care Lip Serum this was sticky and it didn’t sink in and I really just didn’t care for it at all. Also the wand is shorter then the tube so you can’t reach the bottom.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Lancome Lash Idole Mascara this was fine it dried out super fast though. It didn’t make my eyes itchy like a lot of lancome mascaras do. I prefer a natural bristle brush not the rubber ones so this is not ideal for me.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

FCS Aloe Me Whipped Cream in Namastay Home this was really nice summer lotion super light nice light scent cooling. Really nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (2)

By/ Rosie Jane Everday Body Oil in Wake the F*ck Up this was a nice body oil it was extra greasy but it did soak in really well and quickly the scent was also really nice it came out a lot more in the oil then in the body wash.

Repurchase: No too expensive

Soap & Glory The Real Zing Body Scrub this was a good enough body scrub I liked the texture I liked the scent I like the Tree Hut ones more.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Clean Classic Rain this kinda smelled like laundry it was too light and clean for my tastes.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Ulta Beauty Pixar Finding Nemo Body Lotion in Berry Sorbet I really couldn’t stand the scent of this it was more floral and powdery then berry.

This was a terrible month the 3absolutel worst paid versus spent ratio and the second least used items and second least value. Not great. I am still on track to hit my goals for the year and hoping to really use alot over the next few months.

I did really well this month. Vacation months I always do well because I use up so many mini things. Though I have lost some item pictures along the way. I I am actually ahead of my goal So I could use up nothing in August and still be on track so that is pretty awesome.

Skincare (13)

CosRX Master Path Original Fit Blemish Covers these are good they help pull the gunk out and just help keep blemishes cleaner and reduces my desire to pick at them. These aren’t medicated and I do prefer medicated ones a little more.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fresh Black Tea Komnucha Facial Treatment Essence I don’t think this did anything it only lasted like a few days.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Dew Cream I liked this it was super hydrating and felt really nice on the texture was really gel like but also silky.

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate I really don’t vibe with Shiseido skincare I don’t feel like it does anything for me and is super overpriced.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Jart+ DermaClear Micro Makeup Remover (3x) these are really soapy. I don’t care for them the size is useful for travel but I would not re buy these.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel did not like this did not feel like it cleaned my skin at all.

Repurchase: Yes

Lancome Renergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra SPF 30 hated this it was super floral scented and pretty thick and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Indie Lee Banish Solution I like having one of these on hand and I go this for free I would never spend this much on a sulfur solution like this it is $32 which is insane I also found this one in particular pretty flakey and it would get on my pillow cases and my clothes.

Repurchase: No

Perricone MD Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Soothing & Hydrating Eye Cream this was fine it wasn’t that hydrating and it didn’t really do anything.

Random (1)

Home Scents (2)

I love this one it is one of my all time favorites it smells like coffee you can get a few melts out of each cube it has great throw I really recommend these ones.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist in Fresh Sea Salt Mango this I would never have worn as a perfume it smelled like a room spray it was very salt forward which I liked but sometimes was too much.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

Truly Pineapple Haze CBD Glossy Lip Butter this didn’t taste like pineapples and for that I feel like it wasn’t worth the price tag. It lasted for ever though I used this for so long. It also tinted my lips green which was a bit odd. Much prefer the Laniege one and I don’t even love that one.

Repurchase: No

Carmex Lip Balm in Strawberry I really prefer the unflavored Carmex but this was nice to try out.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Energizing Lotion got this at a hotel loved the scent it was a good lotion you can’t actually buy this though there was a time that this was sold in store it is only provided to hotels now.

Repurchase: Can’t

Bodycare (2)

FCS Lava Exfoliating Body Wash in Beach House this had no scent and wasn’t super scrubby it was just a travel body wash I used up while I was away.

Repurchase: Maybe

Declutter (1)

I am finally caught up to where I should be for my goals for the year. Hurray. I also went on vacation this month so there are a lot of emptys that I just don’t have pictures of and stuff because I am not crazy enough to bring trash home or meticulously track it when I’m supposed to be having fun.

Skincare (7)

Lovinah Blue Butterfly Stem Cell Deep Hydration Mask this is nice it was hydrating my skin looked really nice after but it it far too expensive.

Repurchase: No

Babor Ampoule Concentrate Perfect Glow I don’t like these I think the packaging is wasteful excessive and a little dangerous having to snap these glass vials and the glass is sharp. This left me glowy but not so glow that I would spend $40+ a week to use this every day.

Repurchase: No

Farmacy Bright On Vitamin C Mask I didn’t really care for this it was super sticky and hard to wash off but it did brighten my skin temporarily.

Repurchase: No

FCS Midnight Rose Charcoal Mask I don’t particularly like charcoal masks any more I find them pretty harsh and really annoying to wash off.

Repurchase: No

Vichy H.A. Serum this was just a hylaronic serum nothing really that special it was nice.

Repurchase: No, I would buy the cheaper one from the Ordinary

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops I really like these not as much as I like other Glow Recipe products but it is nice. It feels really nice and dewy and light on my skin. I don’t feel like it has enough  actives to justify the price for me though.

Repurchase: No

Philosophy Nature in a Jar Cica Complex Recovery Moisturizer this is too thick for me not the kind of moisturizer I like but if you have really damaged or irritated skin I think this would be really nice it is thicker more balm like.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Klean Freak Body Wipe in Lavender I love having body wipes on hand for when you just need a quick something to feel refreshed but can’t exactly jump in the shower. I really liked this one it was big it didn’t rip it also didn’t leave me sticky like a lot of wipes can and it smelled really nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Candle in Toasted Pineapple Marshmallow this had no scent throw I was super disappointed.

Repurchase: No

FCS Scent Diffuser in Flying Monkeys this was a really good scent but it just is messy to use I am currently using these in place of wallfowers and hanging them up you have to flip these over and soak the wooden cap. It works but it is a mess.

Repurchase: No

Lip (3)

Hempz Ultra Moisturizing Herbal Lip Balm I hated this hated the flavor and this wasn’t really moisturizing it was more like Aquaphor but didn’t hang around.

Repurchase: No

Dionis Goat Milk Lip Balm in Milk & Honey I like these they last a long time they are more of that thicker traditional balm feeling so they stick around for awhile in on my lips the flavors are good. They don’t melt super easy in my car.

Repurchase: Yes

Carmex Lip Balm I love carmex I love the feeling of it and the menthol flavor.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (1)

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Vacation Classic Spray SPF 50 Sunscreen I like the way this sunscreen smells and I though I liked it. I’ve used up a whole can before but using it every day on a cruise I found it really sticky as io was reapplying and took forever to dry and got kinda weird touching my close and just really messy will not re buy. I have one more like mostly full can to go through and then no more.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Luxurious Cleansing Body Wash in Verbena + Lemon Grass this I hated the scentl was just not that great I didn’t feel that clean after.

Repurchase: No
