What’s In My Trash? May 2019

nightmareb4

Sorry this is so late this month. I lost my dog my little best friend a total bright spot with a giant personality and I have just been missing him to much to really do anything extra right now. Any one who has ever lost a pet understands. I am just so sad right now.

My perfect baby boy

I was on a vacation in May and I am not in the habit of bring trash home with me so there are so extra pictures of those products included that are not in the final round up.

Skincare (20)

South Mane Eye Gels I really enjoyed these and this was my last pair I got them in a Boxycharm awhile back. These were really hydrating and stay on my face really well as I was walking around and doing things.

Repurchase: Yes

Sweet & Shimmer Face & Body Mini Wipes in Frosted Berry I love these for swatches they take off swatches really well and they smell great I always pick these up for that purpose probably always will. I also love that they are mini size so I don’t feel like I am wasting anything because you don’t need giant wipes for swatches.

Repurchase: Yes

Patchology Clear Skin Sheet Mask this felt nice and smelled nice and felt soothing but it didn’t clear my skin this is not worth the price at all. I kinda feel like any sheet mask that claims to do anything other then moisturize, brighten or soothe doesn’t actually work.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Face & Body Mist this is from the water line that was alcohol free. I liked the smell of this it was and it was a nice refreshing face mist. It didn’t rock my world but I liked using it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Make Dual-Phase Eye Makeup Remover I never used this to actually remove my makeup I used it on Q-Tips as a way to clean up and touch up mistakes while doing my makeup it was good at that and didn’t leave an oil gross residue on my face.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask this makes my skin really kinda greasy I don’t love it. Maybe if you have really dry skin but I didn’t like it that much. I had to just use it on drier spots.

Repurchase: No

Pur The Grinch Mask Sampler Glitterally Gold I legit have no feelings about this mask I just was not impressed by any of them and don’t think they were worth it.

Repurchase: No

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb I really liked this it was very moisturizing. I don’t feel ike it hase much in the way of treatment or anti-aging but feels really nice and cool and hydrating and I liked that. I feel like the Neutrogena HydroBoost Eye Get is a total dupe for this and I like the packaging of that better so I would buy that over this especially for the price. I will happily use all the samples I have of this though.

Repurchase: No

Peter Thomas Roth Acne Clearing Wash this is fine as an acne wash didn’t leave my skin overly dry and had a nice light lemon scent but I don’t spend money on pricey face wash I think that is silly since it is in contact with your face for so little time that any drug store face wash is just fine.

Repurchase: No

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel I like this moisturizer a lot it is great but I was flying and this wasn’t quite hydrating enough for how that kinda of plane dehydration but that’s ok normally this is a great moisturizer for oily skin.

Repurchase: Yes

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer I tried to use this as my sunscreen on my face since it has spf 30 it broke me out as a lot of sunscreens do so no go for me though still used it up because I only brought a few sample sizes to try out.

Repurchase: No

Aveeno Absolutely Ageless Daily Moisturizer this had a weird scent like blackberries mixed with florals. I didn’t like it.  It also broke me out like the other Aveeno one.

Repurchase: No

Supergoop! Superscreen Daily Moisturizer SPF 40 PA+++ I like super goop sunscreens they don’t break me out they don’t smell weird but they can be kinda heavy and this one was very thick and heavy I don’t like that.

Repurchase: No

Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover Towelettes these smell awful like gasoline or something they do work but they are not as soft or as wet as I like my face wipes to be. I have quite a few packs of these because I got them very cheap and they are great for travel but wouldn’t repurchase. They do work fine I just don’t love them.

Repurchase: No

Bioderma Sensibio Eye Contour Gel I hated this eye cream I hate the the sample couldn’t be sealed it was just an open tip. And I hated hot this felt under my eyes and I feel like it made my dark circles worse this was terrible.

Repurchase: No, Wouldn’t even use it again

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm I love this with all my heart and soul it is my favorite balm to take my eye makeup off it doesn’t sting you don’t have to tug at your eyes I love it so much. Was so excited to have this little sample I could bring with me.

Repurchase: Yes

Kate Somerville EradiKate Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment this was a decent spot treatment but where it really excelled was it actually made my skin around the pimple look healthier which made the pimple look less bad if that makes sense I don’t think it does.

Repurchase: Maybe

Exuviance Probiotic Lysate Anti-Pollution Essence this made my skin look and feel really blotchy and congested I don’t think this is a good product for me and I don’t even totally get what it is supposed to do.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Scrub not my favorite facial scrub as I have said here so many times but I will use it when I have samples.

Repurchase: No

Freeman Hydrating Cactus + Cloudberry Water Gel Mask one of my most favorite moisturizers (yes I know it is supposed to be a mask). I like to put this on I a thick layer and it soaks in so well and leave my face feeling so hydrated and plump but not sticky.

Repurchase: Yes

Random (11)

Dr. Pedicure Foot Exfoliating Mask this is a foot peeling mask it did its job it peeled and made my feel softer but this peeled off in such an awful way like it itty bitty flakey pieces instead of giant chunks and took a very long time to peel off I would rather the Baby Foot one or the TonyMoly one.

Repurchase: No

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant Fresh Energy my favorite deodorant.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Veggie Protein Deodorant in The Captain I like these natural deodorants for when I am not going out or just like running a few errands they smell nice they work well and they don’t irate my skin.

Repurchase: Yes

Pink Pewter Hair Ties normally I wouldn’t put hair ties in my empties but when they are this freaking expensive like over 12 dollars I feel like I have too. I really liked these they don’t leave dents in my hair or give me headaches but they also don’t hold my hair up super well and they stretch our really easy these are like the sweatpants of hair ties.

Repurchase: Maybe

Dove Advanced Care Cool Essentials Deodorant this was actually a really good deodorant. It wasn’t overly scent and it was smooth and worked well.

Repurchase: Maybe

Sweet & Shimmer Brush Cleansing Wipes (6) these are a game changer for me they made it so that I only had to bring a few eye brushes. These don’t clean them but they get the shadow off so that you can use other shadows and not ruin your look.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (6)

Fortune Cookie Soap Hidden Rebel Base Fabric & Room Spray this smells exactly like the Norway Pavillion of Epcot not a scent I am super fond of at all but it is nostalgic and not quite as pungent as the Norway smell so I was able to use it up.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Summertime Soda Pop Candle I liked this one a lot it smelled a lot like orange soda and I love orange and citrus scents.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Scent Portable in Pomegranate or at least I think it was pomegranate. I like the scent portables they are alright I like when I get them for free most of the ones I have I have gotten for free I wouldn’t pay for them even though they do last way longer than a little tree would.

Repurchase: Yes

Basin Fresh Soap I don’t know what scent/name this was, it isn’t on the website, I bought it in a little value pack that was made of like I assume leftover scraps or messed up cuts so I could try a few scents this one was super cute and bright smelling it was yellow with lots of different colored Mickey heads I the soap. This little ass bar lasted me like 9+ months of hand washing It takes along time to go through a bar soap.

Repurchase: Maybe, but I have a lot of soap right now

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Lemon & Fig I did not like this it had basically no scent. I find that like half the wallflower scents work really well and half are too strong or have no scent.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Personal Space Air Freshener this was Mountain Dew Scented so I used mostly on my girlfriend’s stuffs since that is her favorite soda and it was kinda a fun little thing but I am glad it was small because it would be weird to have to use this like all the time.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

FCS Lip Balm I don’t remember the scent or even when I got this tiny little guy. It isn’t my favorite lip balm I have ever had from them but it was as moisturizing and comfortable as all of the ones I have from them. This had too much of a dark tint that it was messy to wear and had a very strong scent/flavor that it almost stung on my lips. The scent was really yummy just way too strong for a lip balm.

Repurchase: No

Chapstick Total Hydration Lip Scrub this was like a nice sweet mint flavor but had a chemically after taste. This was one of those lip scrubs that I feel like you have to chase around your mouth to scrub your lips. Not my favorite type of thing. I really prefer a more solid scrub.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (5)

Too Faced Hangover Rx Replenishing Face Primer I don’t feel like this did much for my skin, or the look of my makeup it was like a bit of nothing on the face.

Repurchase: No

Mac in Extreme 3D Black Lash I never like Mac mascara samples I think the little tubes make the mascara too dry and I hate the sample brushes.

Repurchase: No

Sephora 12hr Colorful Contour Eyeliner  01 Black Lace this I love but is has gotten to the point where it is too hard to sharpen so I have to call it done. This was so soft and creamy ad black and really stayed in my waterline so well.

Repurchase: Definitely

Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base in Original this made my eyeshadow crease the more often then not.

Repurchase: No

Smashbox Photofinish Primer Water this was a great Mac Fix+ type of product but I think I prefer Fix+ to this. This has a funky scent is just a bit tackier then Fix+.

Repurchase: No

Lotions (2)

Hempz Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Cream I love the scent of this so herbally and fresh and the lotions are quite hydrating. The frustrating part was that I could not get everything out of this bottle it was so annoying.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa and Cream Body Cream love the scent of this smells like a Hershey bar. I am not a fan of their body creams I prefer their body butters or the lotions but I would legit buy anything in this scent I don’t even care.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (5)

Gillette Venus Shower Shave Cream in Vanilla Crème I do like shaving creams to shave with though I do prefer shaving oils. This was ok it wasn’t the greatest and it didn’t give the greatest shave I am not super picky I will use whatever is available to shave with. This had a nice vanilla cream scent but it is too pricey I feel for shaving since it isn’t that great. This came in like a Christmas pack which is how I ended up with it because I would not have purchased it. You are also supposed to be able to use it as body wash too but that just seems like a way to use up your shaving cream super fast so you buy more. And there is no reason why you can shave with like a normal body wash if you wanted to.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Smuggler Sugar & Spice Body Polish I seem to have lost the picture I took of the bag when I decanted this into a different container because I wasn’t going to keep a bag in my shower and let it melt and get gross. I also really didn’t like this at all I was not a fan of the spicy scent it had and it was very rough and super messy. Like I had to wash my whole shower after.

Repurchase: No

Spongelle in Papaya Yuzu I love these Spongelle sponges they are so convenient for traveling and there is so many more washes in the sponges then the labels claim. I liked the  scent on the sponge but on my skin it turned a little sour on my skin.

Repurchase: Not this one

Tommy Bahama Conditioner I used this to shave it was fine, it was free and it was there.

Repurchase: No

Tommy Bahama Shampoo same as above.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (7)

YSL Black Opium Perfume this was nice I liked it. That’s all I really remember about it. I have so much perfume its hard to impress me into wanting to buy something.

Repurchase: No

Zoella Blissful Mistful Perfume I got a four pack of all different scents of these around Christmas and I am killing myself to use them up because I really don’t like them the sprayer quality is really cheap and the perfumes smell cheap and doesn’t last long at all. I have been trying to layer them with other perfumes or spray them in my hair wear them around the house anything to just get them used up. This had a fresh kinda scent it wasn’t the most offensive of the bunch which is why it got used up first.

Repurchase: No

Kat Von D Saint Perfume this smells fine nice and light and sweet but I wouldn’t buy or recommend it.

Repurchase: No

Givenchy L’Interdit Perfume I liked this I like all Givenchy Perfumes pretty much. This smelled like raspberries to me but no one else seemed to think so.

Repurchase: No

Commodity Gold Perfume this smelled super sweet and warm I liked it a lot.

Repurchase: Maybe

Vera Wang Embrace Perfume hated this it smelled to feminine and old on me.

Repurchase: No

Simply Belle Perfume this just smelled awful like bathroom potpourri.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (5)

Wen Pomegranate Re-Moist Intensive Hair Treatment this is so pricey that I would never buy this again I will start by saying that. This was a decently nice moisturizing mask made my hair feel really nice. It was great but not $50 great. This pot wasn’t even enough to cover my entire head of hair.

Repurchase: No

Ojon Damage Reversal Hair Serum this is thick and doesn’t smell that pleasant. I don’t think this did anything for my hair at all. I have another and I will use it but it was not that special.

Repurchase: No

Bad, Baby Dry Shampoo Pen this was barely enough for one use and it barely did anything in my hair.

Repurchase: No

Bumble and Bumble Bb. Pret-a-Powder Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo this left such a dull grey cast in my hair and it was really heavy and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Tarte Maracuja Oil not my favorite oil for hair but it does the job. It is much thicker and dryer then I would normally use but since this is a multi-use oil it is great for travel in case I need an oil for anything else.

Repurchase: Probably Not, Would probably grab an argan oil for this purpose in my life

Declutter (13)

Eco Tools Powder Brush I don’t remember the number of this brush I just don’t like this type of brush but the brush itself is fine. I find it too messy to set with it just picks up the powder to inconsistently when you use loose powder and it doesn’t pick up enough of pressed powders for me to use it for like a bronzer it just doesn’t work for me. I feel like if you bake this would be great at brushing off a bake but I don’t bake.

Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lip Color in Fallen Angel this was from the Kabuki Magic Collection in 2017. I wanted to love this. I love the color that bruised vampy berry is my kinda shade and I love the name. But this wears terrible on me it never dries does really it is patchy as hell, it it slides all over my faces and gets on my teeth like just from breathing not even taling or trying to drink something it was just a bad formula.

Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss in Starlight this dried out but it just never worked for me as an eyeshadow or as a highlighter this was just kinda not pigmented and overly glittery.

Ciate London Highlighter in Moondust this is a highlighter that looks super pretty in photos but doesn’t wear well at all. It has a lot of shimmer/glitter in it but it doesn’t hang together well so all the glitter ended up just migrating all over my face which wasn’t a great look. The highlight portion actually stuck around and was visible for hours and nice but the glitter just made it a hot mess.

Peek Beauty It’s Not Eyeshadow Primer (2) this was a cool little duo that has a black and a white primer in it I actually used the shit out of these for awhile but they are shimmery bases and I like matte bases now and probably will never use this again. I had a back up because I did actually use it a lot and my friend and I both got these in subscription boxes and she didn’t want hers. These are really great quality I actually used about half of it up and we all know eye primers are like the makeup product that never dies I just don’t want the shimmer base look anymore.

BH Cosmetics Brushes (4) these are from a giant brush set I bought like right before I started my blog I was like so excited to be able to massively increase my brush collection but the problem with giant sets is you get brushes that you will never use. These are just brush shapes/styles that I don’t prefer so they are going.

Smoke & Mirrors Mini Holographic Stick in Rose Potion this was too light for my skin tone it didn’t show up.

Crown Travel Brush Set these brushes are pretty awful nothing would pick up on them and they applied everything really patchy and messy these are not good quality they feel like they are plastic bristles.

Samples decluttering seven random foil packet samples that I will not use mostly they are foundations in not my shade I only count these as one item. It’s how I let myself be ok with letting go of them even though I know that I will never use them.

What’s In My Trash? March 2019

nightmareb4

Another month gone and some more empties. Anyone else so thrilled that the weather is getting warmer and the days longer? I know I am always makes me feel more positive.

Skincare (8)

Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser this was ok nothing special not a great cleanser not a great exfoliator just not really great at anything. There is probably one more use in there if I cut it open but I am not desperate enough to need to do that. Murad is one of those brands that seems like it’s all going to work so well and I always want to try stuff but it is so expensive but then it’s really hit or miss with me from what I have tried.

Repurchase: No

Origins Clear Improvements Charcoal Honey Mask to Purify and Nourish Mask this was not as good as the original one that does not have honey in it. It was also really hard to get off my skin. I found this to not leave my skin as dry but it also didn’t get rid  of blemishes as well as the original did. The pretty gold tinted black color of this mask was nice though.

Repurchase: No

Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub this is my favorite scrub I have ever used it smells like lemons and the particles are so tiny but in like a nice cream base it leaves my skin feeling so smooth this is so much better than the expensive Dr. Brandt one.

Repurchase: Yes

First Aid Beauty Ginger & Tumeric Vitamin C Jelly Mask I really really liked this mask. It left my face feeling bright and moisturizered and soft with out being greasy or gross. I really really like this and would definitely consider buying.

Repurchase: Yes

The Face Shop Chia Seed Sheet Mask my skin was feeling super irritated so I figure this would be a good generically soothing and moisturizing mask that might calm it a bit and it did. There wasn’t anything super special about it or bad about it.

Repurchase: No

South Mane Eye Gel I have one set of these left I like them just fine they ad moisture and make my under eyes feel nice but they aren’t the greatest eye gels ever. I tried wearing them while folding laundry ad they didn’t stick on that well through that much movement. These are more like a sit and read or watch tv type of eye gel.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray in Orange and Sage I really liked this the orange blossom and sage scent is definitely for me I love the orange plus herbal scent. I use this just because I like the geeral feeling of spraying some moisture on my face and as a replacement for moisturizer when my skin is feeling too oil for moisturizer. I will buy more of this.

Repurchase: Yes

Murad Outsmart Acne Clarifying Treatment this wasn’t that great I mean it was only 1% salicylic acid and didn’t work as well as my favorite the clean and clear one that has 2% for like 6 dollars this is just too expensive for what it is.

Repurchase: No

Random (6)

BodyographyPro Makeup Brush Cleanser I don’t really like liquid cleansers I only use them for my sponges and my oval brushes. I don’t feel like this was great it didn’t really clean well but it also didn’t smell like pure alcohol like so many spray cleansers do.

Repurchase: No

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant Ultraclear this is my preferred line of deodorant.

Repurchase: Yes

Random sponge I can’t remember where you came from and I am so sad because I really really liked you L. This was a super soft and squishy little sponge that I liked to use with cream highlights and for erasing makeup mistakes. Sponge you will be missed RIP.

Repurchase: Yes if I could figure out what it is

Sweet & Shimmer Marshmallow Mint Face & Body Wipes I love how these smell these were move vanilla mint then marshmallow but I love these little packs for like swatches or keeping in my car to wipe my hands stuff like that not for my actual face. I buy them every holiday season when they come out and always get excited for what the new scents are going to be every year.

Repurchase: Yes

Mauloa Paper N Planning Swatch Stencil Coffee Cups

Mauloa Paper N Planning Swatch Stencil Diamond

I liked these stencils they were fine. I ended up not using them as much as I thought I would but I still like them when I do use them. But they are only good for a few sets of swatches before all the stick is gone and they don’t work anymore.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (5)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower Cinnamon Caramel Swirl I liked this one a lot I got this on crazy couponed sale for 12 cents. This was nice and sweet but not overwhelming I liked it a lot. The wallflowers can be really hit or miss on where the scents actually work or not. Especially since I only really use it in a very small room.

Repurchase: Yes

Febreze Air Effects in Sugared Cranberry I liked this scent and it was good for freshening up linens.

RepurchasE: Maybe

Lucille & Co. Reviving Lemon Basil Room Spray I got this on a whim at Marshalls because I love Lemon and Basil scents and this did smell really really nice but it did not perform well. The scent did not last at all and was definitely not strong enough to cover up and other scents that may be around. 

Repurchase: No

HG Global Lemon Bar Candle I got this in a three pack on Amazon as like a whim. It was an ok candle especially for the price. I don’t like that it doesn’t burn all the way to the end but oh well. I might repurchase these I might not.

Repurchase: Maybe

Sweet & Shimmer Reed Diffuser in Winter Citrus this was cute but produced basically no scent.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

L’occitane Verveine Icy Lip Balm this was like a lemon verbena flavor which I liked I a lot. Normally I would never spend this much on a lip balm but what happened was I was at an outlet mall on vacation and I didn’t have a lip balm for the trip and was panicking so I bought this. It lasted a really long time ad was nice but I don’t think they sell this anymore and even if they did I wasn’t so impressed that it would be worth repurchasing at that price point.

Repurchase: No

Carmex Classic Lip Balm I love Carmex but only I the normal chapstick tube I feel like it isn’t the same in the squeezey tube.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

L’oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara in Midnight Black I liked this mascara a lot. It is really light and natural it does give that long fluttery butterfly like look which I like when I’m just throwing on some mascara and eyeliner but this is definitely only for light makeup looks this can’t hold up to a more dramatic eyeshadow look it just disappears. I liked it for the more natural easy light look.

Repurchase: Maybe

L’oreal Unlimited Mascara in 235 Blackest Black I received this for free in exchange for an honest review/post on instagram. I liked this it added a lot of length and curl to my lashes as well as looked really pretty on my makeup stand because it stands up and looks kinda classy and old school. I also like how the brush handle bends it makes it a lot easier to apply. I don’t like how quickly this got all gloopy and thick in the bottle and I am not into rehydrating my mascaras.

Repurchase: Maybe

Urban Decay Primer Potion this is like the og primer that everyone knows and loves it’s a great primer it holds on to shadow it keeps them from creasing it lasts forever like this tiny ass tube took me like 2 years to use its insane. My only thing with it currently is I’m sorta not into the primers that dry down clear I am more into like a white or really blanked out type of primer at the moment. But I do love this primer I have another and I’m sure I will buy more in the future.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (1)

Delectable Triple Moisture Body Lotion I Coconut & Cream I love the scent of this it is like a warm coconut scent that kinda reminds me of coconuts and cookies idk. I love the scent but the lotion is kinda meh it is really thick and moisturizing but it leaves kinda of a residue on my skin that I am not a fan of.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (2)

Basin Satsuma Shea Scrub the Basin scrubs are just so amazing they are so soft but they scrub your skin so nicely you feel so soft and smooth and silk ad moisturized after ugh so good. And this lasted me a really long time like 8/9 months with anywhere from 1 to 4 uses a month. So good. The Satsuma scent is my favorite it is such a bright yummy citrus. There is an orange vanilla one I have my eye on now, but I have a shit ton of scrubs I NEED to get through first. I am going to save the container it is really nice and keeps the water from the shower out of the product and I am going to put my scrubs that come in paper bags (like why?) in it.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Off We Go Body Wash this wasn’t my favorite scent but the body wash was good.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Gourmand Pistachio Brulee Perfume this is what I call an at home perfume. The kind of perfume that doesn’t have a strong scent or last very long. This had a light sweet smell but like very faint and disappears after like a few minutes. I don’t like perfumes like that. This is the kind of thing I would spray on just to hang out at home in.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (5)

Lancome Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Moisturizing Cream Gel this gave me an allergic reaction it has something related to roses in it. Suffice to say it stressed the fuck out of my skin rather than de stressing it. The last thing I needed was an allergic reaction the night I used this so I am extra mad at this product.

Chella Tantalizing Taupe Eyebrow Cream this is too hard to get out of the tiny little end cap that the product is in and it ends up looking like nothing or is all goopy in my eyebrows. It was weirdly a good color for me but definitely not a product for me.

Ulra Limitless Lashes this mascara smudges horribly and doesn’t really do anything for my lashes. I used this a few times and could not find a way to make it work for me and not smudge.

Z Skin Acne Spot Treatment I tried this for a long time but it does nothing to treat or prevent spots at all so this has to go it is a waste of my time. It is also a really thick white cream that is hard to rub in.

Note Cosmetics Long Lash Mascara I am not one to like give up on a mascara after one use so that is how you know this is bad. Usually even if I hate a mascara I will power through and use it since I get rid of them pretty frequently because germs and I don’t want any issues with my eyes. This was awful I like a dry mascara formula but this was so dry that like barely anything came off on my lashes and it kinda stuck them together but not in a clump thick way but like they were combed bad way this was truly awful no length no volume and it legit straightened my naturally curly lashes out this was terrible.

What’s In My Trash? January 2019

nightmareb4

Welcome to the first empties post of the new year!! Started off the month really strong! So first I am going to go into what the goals and new things I’ll be doing with my empties this year and then I will go into the products I used up.

So first this years goal is 600 products. Instead of a monthly goal my goal will be to use up or move out 600 products this year.

I also will be keeping track of the approximate value of the products I use up and the approximate amount I paid for the products I used up. And category totals. Just for funsies and because I am really curious as to how much legit “money” I am going through each month.

I will calculate values the best I can there are going to be things that I can’t get or don’t know the values of. For how much I paid there are going to be plenty of things that I don’t know or remember but I will do my best. It is only an approximate value.

Skincare (16)

Bath and Body Works Sea You Soon Sea Minerals + Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask this is definitely not a high quality mask with amazing ingredients all the advertised ingredients are on the bottom of the ingredient list but it does feel nice on the skin. They don’t make this anymore you know how Bath and Body Works is like everything is friggen limited edition it is ridiculous. I would not repurchase even if I could because it is expensive for what it is but I didn’t hate it.

Repurchase: No

Origins RitualiTea Mind Over Mate Invigorating Powder Face Mask they don’t make this anymore and I am not really surprised. It smells awful like it smells like dog food and that smell is on your face. It is also really clumpy on your face and hard to remove and it like clumps up and makes a mess in your sink it was just gross. It did make my skin feel smooth and tight in a good way but there are far better masks. I am not shocked that this is no longer around.

Repurchase: No

Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist this was ok it wasn’t great it was refreshing but also sticky. This also claims to be a setting spray and a refreshing spray do not spray this over your makeup it is not a setting spray. It leaves your makeup sticky and it starts to rub off.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray Aloe, Cucumber, and Green Tea I didn’t really love this I have the new one with the sage and orange that just came out and then I like a lot. I don’t love the scent of cucumbers (I got food poisoning off cucumbers once and its kinda ruined them for me.) and aloe isn’t great for my skin personally so this is like not an ideal product. Everyone raves about this so I felt like I needed to try it. It wasn’t any better than any other spray I’ve used.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skin Active Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes these were pretty nice they were very soft didn’t leave my skin sticky. I really liked these.

Repurchase: Maybe

First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream I didn’t really like this it was just kinda a meh cream and it didn’t even smell like coconuts.

Repurchase: No

Ren Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask this is a good mask it really is but I have some mixed feelings about it. On the positive side it does good things for my skin it is really comforting if my skin is like freaking out like dry and oily and dehydrated but weird breakout in one spot and like all the things at once this really does help to just balance everything out and calm it all down. It also smells pretty comforting. What I hate about this is the textureof this mask. It goes on kinda like a clay mask which is fine but then as it warms up ad does its thing it turns into like a thick heavy oil grease type thing. It feels so heavy and slimey and it is kinda hard to wash off and I don’t like the slimey oily thick feeling of it. The fumes/scent as it makes this change also makes my eyes sting and water even though I can’t actually smell anything off it kinda weird. Idk how I feel about this I would use it again but I probably won’t buy it.

Repurchase: Probably Not

BioRepublic Pomegrante Crush Illuminating Fiber Mask I didn’t like this sheet mask at all. It left my face super super sticky which I hate.

Repurchase: No

NuFace Prep-n-Glow Dual Sided Cloth these are my favorite wipes I love them make my feels feel so clean and good but they are very expensive so I use them sparingly.

Repurchase: Yes

Pur The Grinch Mask Sampler Purple Pore Punisher this was ok it is a peel of mask it left my skin feeling smooth but it really didn’t do anything for my pores. This also has a really fruity scent to the mask not as bad and nauseating as the Glamglow one but enough that it needs to be noted. I mostly bought this because the ornament containers were adorable and I wanted them. The containers are definitely reusable.

Repurchase: No

Pur The Grinch Mask Sampler Soak It Up this was not that great this was not nearly as moisturizing as the Freeman mask or other hydrating masks I have tried.

Repurchase: No

The Face Shop Real Nature Mask in Olive I was worried that this would be greasy gross on but it was a great face mask my face felt refreshed and plumped and hydrated. It fit my face and sat on it well it didn’t have any scent it was really nice.

Repurchase: Yes

Global Beauty Care Sea Kelp Spa Treatment Mask this was a really goopy sheet mask there was so much serum on it it also fit my face terribly despite all that I really really liked it. It left my skin feeling really soft and hydrated. My skin/face/life felt so puffy and irritated and awful and after this mask everything just felt so much better. I am pretty sure this is like a super cheap and I have no idea where it came from but I liked it a lot.

Repurchase: Yes

No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum I hated this it smelled really weird like heavily fragranced with generic fancy skincare scent if anyone know what I am talking about also I felt like this didn’t do anything for my skin at all.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Jart+ Water Drop Hydrating Moisturizer this was insane it comes out like a gel but the second it touches your skin it melts into like legit water. It feels like water on the skin it is really cool and feels really light and nice and watery on the skin this is definitely more of a summer moisturizer the winter but I liked it. Even it if was slightly messy/drippy to apply.

Repurchase: Maybe

Dermalogica Age Smart Rapid Reveal Peel this was not at all uncomfortable or burn-y like I expected it to be. My skin was definitely much softer and smoother after but that was the only real benefit I have seen so far. So I don’t know that it is worth $8.50 a mask even though it was nice and made my skin soft.

Repurchase: No

Random (3)

Farmacy Honey Savior All-in-One Repair Salve this is just a honey based slave it is kinda like Vaseline but different texture serves the same kinda purpose though. I put this on my elbows and my lips. Honesty I used it to just use it up I found it chilling in a random drawer it didn’t belong in. This was ok but I have tried better healing salves like my fortune cookie ones or even Aquaphor.

Repurchase: No

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant Shower Clean Motion Sense deodorants are my favorite I feel like the scent really effects the effectiveness which I know is odd but hey what ever. I liked this one.

Repurchase: Yes

Hum Nutrition Daily Cleanse Vitamins can’t really tell much with only three days of vitamins but they didn’t make me feel sick or taste bad so that’s good.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (3)

Columbia Candle Supply White Tea with Blueberries Wax Melt I loved the scent of this. It had a great scent throw and I love a good blueberry scent. I don’t think they make this scent anymore which makes me really sad I went back on the Etsy shop to order some and they didn’t have a listing for this scent. The wax melts last forever from this company.

Repurchase: Yes

Columbia Candle Supply Blackberry Amber I was hoping the blackberry scent would overpower the amber scent and I would like this but it was not that way the amber scent was very heavy and I don’t like the very heavy warm feminine musk type scent of amber.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Hot Cocoa & Cream Wallflower 100% my most favorite scent I love it so so much. Smells like a Hershey’s bar.

Repurchase: Yes

Lip (3)

Glow for a Cause Lip Love in Flirt this is one of those months where like all the open things run out at the same time. This was ok it had a nice feel on the lips but I wasn’t a huge fan of the color or the scent/flavor. It also was really messy because it melted pretty easily.

Repurchase: No

Softlips Tinted Lip Conditioner in Pearl I liked the feel and flavor of this sorta tingly menthol vanilla mint but I hate the pearl finish it is a full on frosted baby pink like I can only wear this to bed because it looks so bad.

Repurchase: No

Fresh Sugar Lip Caramel Hydrating Balm this was just eh it tasted goof but it was not hydrating at all like this was the opposite of a hydrating lip treatment it was more just a nice feeling balm that tasted and smelled good but did nothing at all for my lip health. I wanted to try this for awhile and was so excited to get it but I am glad I got to use it and see that I don’t really like it at all.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (4)

Lancôme Dual Finish Multi-Tasking Powder & Foundation in One All Day Wear this was a sample in a shade way way way to dark for me but I just chucked it on to see what the formula was like while I was doing chores around the house and I actually really liked how it sat on my skin and I like powder foundation a lot so this interests me.

Repurchase: Maybe

Mac False Lashes Waterproof Mascara I’m pretty Eh about Mac Mascaras.

Repurchase: No

Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes I really liked and enjoyed using this when I would use it. It would make my lashes look so long and full and fluffy. I probably wouldn’t buy this one again because it is really pricey but I am really curious to try some other brands.

Repurchase: Maybe

Smashbox Covershot Golden Hour Eye Palette Card Sample mostly I just wanted to see if this would even work and it did there was just enough shadow to do one eye look but I hate Smashbox eyeshadows they just don’t have the type of pigment and impact I want I have like two Covershot palettes and I am not a huge fan.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (5)

Mickey Mouse Honey Almond Scented Hand Cream well this was super adorable and the scent was weirdly comforting and nostalgic but the lotion is awful. It left my skin feeling so so dry. I have another on in a different scent and I will use it because its cute but it is not a good lotion at all.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Marshmallow Magic Body Cream I don’t love the body creams from Bath and Body Works I am trying to use them up. I loved this scent though. I would repurchase this scent if it ever came back.

Repurchase: No

Pacifica Lotion Wipes Malibu Lemon Blossom these kinda suck they have like no lotion one them barely any scent they are totally pointless.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Aloe Me Body Whip in Good Zombie I loved the scent of this so so so much it was a caramel apple type scent and it just smelled like fall and Halloween and I loved it. Unfortunately I don’t love the Aloe Me Body Whips things that have to much Aloe in them actually dry my skin out my skin just does not like Aloe. So I am going to try to eliminate most of the aloe lotions I have barring the ones that smell too good to pass on.

Repurchase: No (But I’d buy anything I could in this scent)

Sweet & Shimmer Moisturizing Foot Mask in Salted Caramel this was fine its booties with lotion and it moisturizers your feet but it is not a whole lot different than throwing some lotion in fuzzy socks so it isn’t really worth the extra product to me.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (1)

Rituals The Ritual of Hammam Foaming Shower Gel this was ok I didn’t love the scent it was a little too heavy on the rosemary and I wasn’t feeling it I the shower. This comes out as like a gel and then foams up when it gets the slightest bit wet. It was a fine body wash but I was nothing to exciting.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture La La Perfume I love the scent on this one it is nice and light and great for summer. My only problem with it is that it does not stick on my skin at all it is gone after like an hour or two which sucks. I won’t seek this out since it has been discontinued but I wouldn’t be against buying a small size if it was a really good price. I do love it it just doesn’t work great for me. I always feel so accomplished when I use up a full size perfume.

Repurchase: Maybe

Haircare (6)

Fortune Cookie Soap Restorative Hair Mask in Rebel Princess I didn’t love this hair mask it was quite thick and I don’t feel like my hair liked it that much it made my hair kinda fluffy in a bad way with not a ton of moisture.

Repurchase: No

Coco & Eve Like a Virgin Hair Coconut & Fig Masque this smelled more floral then of figs and coconuts this was only good for one use on my hair and didn’t do a whole lot for me. It made my hair feel soft and definitely less frizzy but didn’t add shine or any hydrating so only two of its four claims held true. This was just eh for me I have masks I like a lot better.

Repurchase: No

Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Oil Treatment this was not the best oil I have every used it was weirdly dry ad greasy so it was too much of a fast drying oil for it to do my hair any good in the moisturizing department but greasy enough to leave my hair looking greasy. It didn’t do much for frizz either.

Repurchase: No

Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Shampoo

Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Conditioner

Talking about them as a set since I used them that way. This was a pretty good shampoo and conditioner it didn’t fry my hair out but it also didn’t make my hair glossy. It did give it a lot of volume but left it a bit static-y but it is also like -5 degrees out and the heat can also make my hair static-y so that might not be from this.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (10)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Aloe Me Whipped Cream in Cap I don’t get along with the Aloe Mes they don’t work well for my skin so I am gifting most of these to my gf who does really like them. I only kept one full size one because I love the scent so much so I can at least use that up and get to enjoy the scent.

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Aloe Me Whipped Cream in Summer Lovin’ I will also still get to use these as they aren’t going far away from my life just out of my stash lol.

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Cooling Aloe Me Whipped Cream in Chilly Down this one actually is cooling and minty I really hated it, it made me feel so cold but my gf adored it so she’ll be happy.

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Spray Lotion in Aqua Scum I love the spray lotions but I am not fond of the smell so this is going off to my gf too she also loves Finding Nemo so she’ll like that.

I decluttered like 20+ random carded samples I had I am just counting them as one item.

Ulta Beauty Tinted Eye Primer in Satin Blush this I didn’t really get. Like why would I want a pink shimmer sheer eyebase. This is more like a very light sheer cream eyeshadow so idk weird. As a base it makes your eyeshadow get all chunky and odd. So no go.

Tarte eyeliner in Antique Gold this just doesn’t have enough pigment for me but they are very soft and pleasant to use. They don’t make this on anymore I got it in a set with a ton of other colors like 3 or 4 years ago.

Pur The Grinch Mask Sampler Dirty Detox this was totally unusable I don’t know if it dried up or that’s just how this mask is but it was like clay paste that just balled up in chunks and rolled off my face as I tried to put it on.

Juicy Couture Body Soufflee this is in the original perfume scent which is my least favorite scent that they made. The lotion is so strong like the scent is so overwhelming that I can’t use it it lingers for hours and hours. So if that is something you like you would love this and it is a pretty decent lotion but smelling that intense perfumey scent for so long makes me feel sick and gives me a headache.

~Cue Walk Down Memory Lane~

Urban Decay Floral Shadow Box remember when Urban decay palettes looked like this? I really miss old school Urban Decay style like I wish they do a little retro throwback collection I would eat that shit up. I mean this even came with sponge tipped applicators that I used since I didn’t know better. This was the first palette I ever bought and started a love (addiction) to makeup and Urban Decay. I am not actually decluttering it I am saving it for sentimental reasons but it is just too old and past its prime it isn’t useable any more so I am moving it out of my palette drawer. All the shades have major dips in them because I used it a lot because at one time for like 6 months this was my only palette and then I bought like 2 more Urban Decay Palettes and things slowly grew from there. The glitter fallout on all these shades was terrible but I like loved it so hard I did not even care that I had glitter on my face and in my contacts. I’d pair this up with super heavy eyeliner and I was good to go. I still rock the very heavy eyeliner but I like to think my eyeshadow choices have improved since then.
