What’s In My Trash? March 2026

nightmareb4Leave a comment

So not alot used up this month but I also didn’t bring anything new into my life so that is kinda cool.

Skincare (3)

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Light Fluid Sunscreen SPF 60 this was very heavy and white for my taste and I think it broke me out.

Repurchase: No

Tony Moly Wonder Ceramide Mochi Water Cream this was fine a very basic moisturizer.

Repurchase: Maybe

Kopari Bright as Day Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 I don’t really love the texture of it and it is a bit messy but it’s a perfectly fine tinted sunscreen which is good because I have a full size of it I need to get through.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Cereal Milk Soft Serve this whole collection was so disappointing. I have one left and then I’m out of Wallflowers. I don’t buy them often anymore.

Repurchase: No

FCS Fa La La La La La Scent Diffuser this was nice smelled good.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Alice in Wonderland Lip Balm in Strawberry this was a nice lip balm.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Lush Snow Fairy Body Lotion this was not a good lotion it smelled good but it was really sticky and not moisturizing.

Repurchase: No

Dove Body Lotion with Oat Milk this was fine it was a basic body moisturize I usually like to have a big bottle just around for when I don’t want to waste my fancier smaller lotions on larger areas.

Repurchase: Maybe

Perfume (1)

FCS Dual-Phase Perfume in Water Has Memory this was really nice very sweet smelling. Sad I won’t be able to get this anymore.

Repurchase: Can’t

Haircare (3)

Kenra Platinum Invisible Top Coat this leave like a hairspray texture on my hair that I am not fond of.

Repurchase: No

Redken Acidic Color Gloss I think this actually took some color out of my hair.

Repurchase: No

Naturalicious Spanish Almond Regrowth Oil the design of this bottle was awful and I didn’t see any growth from it.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (2)

StarFace Pimple Patches I tried the blue ones I’m almost done with the green ones and I didn’t like either so I am not compelled to try these. The shape has a hard time staying on my face and not curling up and the surface area that is in contact with the pimple is just to small these don’t work for me.

Hempz Original Body Moisturizer I hate the shape of the bottle its very hard to squeeze and I don’t love the scent enough to struggle.

nightmareb4

Walmart Beauty Box

Cost: $6.98

Cycle: Every Quarter/Season

What is it: Every season Walmart sends a little sample products of all sorts of health and beauty type items. It used to be a free sample box with $5 shipping. But they have now changed it to a $6.98 box with free shipping with the promise of better and more full size items.

This is legit my favorite box every time it comes around.

Dove Body Scrub in Himalayan Salt & Rose Oil

Full Size: 3.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $4.99

This is a really good scrub line. I can’t use this one because of the rose but I have other scents and they are a really fine gritty scrub and I like that.

Hi-Pro-Pac Keratin Protein No-Frizz Hair Intense Protein Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $1.77

I love a hair treatment pack especially when this is enough to get two uses out of for my hair.

Good Molecules Hydrating Facial Cleansing Gel

Full Size: 200 ml

Full Size Cost: $11.97

Sample Size: 8 ml

Total Value: $0.48

I am sure I have tried this before. I will use it but i don’t love a face wash in a sachet it just is not a good distribution system.

Jergens Vanilla Crush Body Lotion

Full Size: 414 ml

Full Size Cost: $7.47

Sample Size: 29 ml

Total Value: $0.52

I love a vanilla body lotion this will for sure get used.

Palmer’s Tahitian Vanilla Cream

Full Size: 260 g

Full Size Cost: $13.97

Sample Size: 10 g

Total Value: $0.54

I am excited to try this I think I will use this tonight. I usually like Palmer’s products and this scent sounds really good.

Plum Beauty Facial Shaping Razors

Full Size: 3 Razors

Full Size Cost: $4.97

I do use facial razors like this for dermaplaning and its nice to not have to pay for them.

Essence Hydra Kiss Lip Oil in 05 Midnight Mystery

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $4.99

This is more a sticky gloss then a lip oil so I feel like I am going to end up decluttering it. But i will give it a try.

Not the best value but all really usable items that will get used up quickly which is great.

Macy’s Beauty Box November 2025

nightmareb4

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, We used to get $5 off any beauty purchase then it became a coupon off a purchase amount and now we don’t even always get that, 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. You never really know how many items are going to come its always different.

All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely seen in subscription boxes.

Red Claw Clip

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $1.32

This is super cute. I will use it it is a little small for my amount of hair but it is very cute and festive.

Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Perfume

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $146

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $4.38

I just don’t like this perfume but my mom does so I gave this to her.

Smashbox Photo Finish Illuminate Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $46

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.67

This primer is fine. It isn’t my favorite its its not super glowy or pore filling there are just better primers especially considering this price point.

Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturizer

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $58

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $19.33

I actually have this in a full size I use it regularly. It is super glowy almost shimmery but not quite. It makes my skin look healthy and summery. It feels good on the skin I don’t like to wear foundation and make up wears well over this so this is a great score for me because it is pricey.

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

Value: $10.63

I feel like I have 100 samples of this and never use it.

Skin Gym Red Carpet VIP Gold Foil Eye Mask

Full Size: 5 Masks

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 1 Mask

Value: $3.60

I love eye masks so much. Can’t wait to try this.

This is the first good box in months, but the value is super low and doesn’t really give festive vibes.
