What’s In My Trash? November 2024

Wow I really used nothing up this month.

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb this is fine but it isn’t special.

Repurchase: No

Josie Maran Argan Beta-Retinoid Pink Algae Serum I didn’t like this it didn’t sink in well and it was very dry.

Repurchase: No

Mac Hyper Real Serumizer this was so heavily scented like perfume I really didn’t like it it wasn’t a great texture either.

Repurchase: No

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Removing Towelettes  these are fine they don’t irritate my skin but they aren’t that wet either I just rarely use wipes I just needed some and these were convenient and on sale.

Repurchase: Maybe

The Creme Shop Baby, It’s Gold Outside 24k Gold + Collagen Essence Sheet Mask this is fine just a sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Degree Unlimited Marine Invisible Solid I really didn’t like this it didn’t work well I didn’t like the scent it was hard to hold because it was so wide and thin.

Repurchase: No

Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Color Removing Wipes these I definitely need more of or something like them they are so helpful for getting dye spots off my skin.

Repurchase: Yes

Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Modern Idiots this was really nice very fall and witchy and warm and inviting with the wine scents in it I really liked it.

Repurchase: Yes

Moonlight & Mindfullness Candle in It Floats Down Here I really enjoyed this it was cute it smelled good it burned forever I loved the little rocks on top, could have done with out the massive amount of glitter.

Repurchase: Yes

Basin Lip Balm in American Mint Julep this for sure tasted like a mint julep I really liked it. I ran through these lip balms so fast though that I don’t think they are worth the price at all.

Repurchase: No

Hempz Citrine Crystal & Quartz Herbal Body Moisturizer this smelled citrusy. It is a nice enough lotion but I hate the shape of the bottle its hard to fit in a little bag its impossible to get all the lotion out. It just annoys me so I wouldn’t even actively purchase a bottle this shape.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Body Wash & Foam Bath Aromatherapy Boost in Tangelo Woods this was fine nothing impressive I don’t love the Aromatherapy line I don’t think.

Repurchase: No, also I think this was a limited scent.

FCS We’re All Mad Here Perfume Oil love this very sweet and cakey/vanillay.

Repurchase: Yes, this scent they usually have too

FCS Leave-In  Conditioner in The Weird One I don’t think these are the greatest leave ins of all time but I like the liquidy spray of them and it just so easy to use and brush through my hair.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Merry & Bright Shimmer Lip Scrub this tasted disgusting.


Can’t believe how crappy this month was wow.

Macy’s Beauty Box October 2024

Macy’s Beauty Box

Cost: $15

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon with a purchase amount which I hate (SUCH A DOWNGRADE), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it. Lately we have been getting between 6 and 8 items per month you never really know how many things you are going to get.

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.


Well i just was busy and had some hard times and just didn’t feel like reviewing Macy’s for awhile, but I am back with it now.

Oil Absorbing Stone Roller

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $8.00

I didn’t think this would work but it totally did. What I didn’t love is it sorta left and orange powder on my face which I was not expecting at all. It was fine I was able to pat it out pretty easily but that was weird. It was also really easy to take apart to wash.

Nudestix Nudies Matte All Over Face Blush Color in Cherie

Full Size: 7 g

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $9

I don’t love the formula of this it goes on well and blends well but it is not long wearing. I have this in a different shade but i like this shade a lot more and it is alot more fall friendly.

Anastasia Brow Definer in Soft Brown

Full Size: 0.2 g

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 0.1 g

Value: $13

I don’t really use pencils like this i do my eyebrows rarely so I will pass this on also this color is too light for me.

Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firm No Filter Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7

This I am excited to try because I know the firming eye cream works. I am worried this won’t feel great on the skin though because the eye thing is really tacky and tight and heavy.

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

Full Size: 115 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $1.70

I don’t really like Clarins but this will get used.

Beauty Stat Universal C Skin Refiner

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $14.17

I have definitely received this before and I think used it but really can’t remember at all. Also why is it so pricey.


Not the best box for sure.

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.
