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.

What’s In My Trash? February 2026

I used a bunch this month but I also brought a ton in so not a great month overall.

Skincare (7)

Dime Restorative Night Cream this was really thick I didn’t like it.

Repurchase: No

Kiehl’s Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum this did nothing for me I don’t find Kiehl’s products to be really effective.

Repurchase: No

Lap Cos Red Wine Sheet Mask this is fine but nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream I know this is like the new hot brand but this was not that good of a moisturizer.

Repurchase: No

Coola Classic Face Sunscreen Fragrance Free SPF 50 I like this its very white but it blends in really easy.

Repurchase: Yes

The Shop Face Wash I really didn’t like this it was harsh and kinda minty.

Repurchase: No

Good Molecules Hydrating Facial Cleansing Gel this was very basic and I didn’t really feel clean after using it.

Repurchase: No

Random (3)

Babe Lash Essential Lash Serum I didn’t like this I don’t think it worked well and it burned my eyes sometimes.

Repurchase: No

FCS OCD Hand Sanitizer in Do You Ever Think About Dying? I like these hand sanitizers I have a few left to enjoy but they have since gone out of business so I’ll have to find a new company soon.

Repurchase: Can’t

Dove Dry Spray Deodorant in Cool Essentials I like this deodorant.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (3)

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Cleansing Room & Linen Spray in Fruit Loops this is my favorite room spray it really does smell like fruit loops.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Milk Bar Birthday Cake this entire collection was horrible. No scent throw at all.

Repurchase: NO

Trader Joe’s Candle in Raspberries & Cream this had no scent throw and I burned through it pretty quick. I want to like these candles so much more then I ever end up liking them.

Repurchase: No

Lip (3)

Carmex Lip Balm in Sugar Plum I really liked this I love Carmex and this flavor was so fun.

Repurchase: Yes

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Iced Coffee I love these.

Repurchase: Yes

McoBeauty Peptide Lip Treatment in Buttercream this was great the flavor was great it felt good on it is a decent though not perfect dupe for the Summer Fridays lip balms I think those make my lips feel healthier but if that isn’t a concern these are great.

Repurchase: Yes

Lotion (1)

Ulta Beauty Pixar Toy Story Body Lotion in Lemon Meringue this wasn’t a great lotion but it was cute and it smelled nice.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (4)

Dove Cranberry + Orange Peel Body Wash this smelled nice and it’s a great body wash I find I get sick of bodywashes when I have to use them as long as this because it is such a big bottle but that’s a personally problem I just get bored so fast of body washes.

Repurchase: Yes

Skintimare Shave Oil in Coconut Bliss I did not like this as much as the Tree Hut or EOS one.

Repurchase: No

Black Girl Sunscreen Make It Glow Continuous Spray SPF 30 I didn’t really like this I found it to be a little too thin and not really that great.

Repurchase: No

Dial Spring Water Body Wash I have had this forever and I just don’t like the body wash I don’t like the scent, and I have been using them to travel for years because I got so many for so cheap at one point. I had to finally call it quits I could not bear bringing this hope on a plane again for 2 or 3 more showers. I try not to be wasteful but sometimes you just have to give it up.

Repurchase: NO

Perfume (1)

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy I love this perfume its kinda my scent I always go back to it.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (4)

Innersense Repair Mask (x2) this was fine I don’t really think it did much.

Repurchase: No

Unite 7 Seconds Detangler honestly I don’t like this that much but I had it and I have a full size and I don’t hate it enough to waste it. It really does nothing.

Repurchase: No

Sexy Hair I Want Strength Strengthening Shampoo I really didn’t like this set it smelled nice but it did nothing for my hair.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (2)

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment I found the last tube I had stashed away and just getting rid of it.

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly Perfume I just don’t like this scent anymore and I was cleaning and decluttering where I display all my perfumes and decided to just move this along rather then leave it on display.

Walmart Fall 2025 Beauty Box Subscription Box Review

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.
