What’s In My Trash? June 2026

nightmareb4Leave a comment

Well got a little back on track this month but not as much catching up as I really wanted. I have a good handle full of products that are almost used up that just didn’t get there.

Skincare (7)

Avette Coconut Mild Foam Cleanser I don’t like cream to foam cleansers so this was fine but not for me.

Repurchase: No

Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque me and Kiehl’s just don’t vibe together. This was fine it did clean out my pores I don’t love a super drying mud mask though because they are so hard to wash off.

Repurchase: No

Naisture Tea Tree Mask Pack this was fine I did wake up with a pimple after using this but I think that was more this bringing it out because I’ve been working in heat and dirt a lot lately so I think that was a helpful thing.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fre Glow Me Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 this did not break me out and it looked fine on my skin but it had an almost gritty texture that I didn’t love.

Repurchase: No

Infinitive Beauty Crystal Collagen Gold Powder Eye Mask these were not great they were so thick you had to stay perfectly still to keep them on and I like to do things while I wear eye patches.

Repurchase: No

Garnier SkinActive Aqua Boost Fresh-Mix Sheet Mask really didn’t like this there was so much serum it was so drippy and it’s the cheaper type of Hylaronic acid so it was super sticky.

Repurchase: No

dani beauty Dewy Face Toner Mist this might as well have been water it was cheap if I needed a really cheap spray I would get it but I wouldn’t seek it out over trying something new or one I really like.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Sweet & Shimmer Face and Body Mini Wipes in Frosted Vanilla I loved these little scented wipes I hate that Ulta only does the unscented ones now.

Repurchase: Yes

Old Spice Antiperspirant in Peppermint Slopes this was really nice I like the scent I would get it again if it comes out for Christmas again.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (1)

FCS Scent Diffuser in Jelly of the Month Club this was not a great scent. I am really trying to use up the home scents I have and not get new ones and take a break for a bit to just have less items to manage in my life. For a little while.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Carmex Lip Balm in Merry Berry did not like this flavor as much as the other flavors but still really  great Carmex squeezey tubes are really a top ten lip balm for me.

Repurchase: Yes

Makeup (1)

Lime Crime Venus Liner in Baby’s Breathe I think this company went out of business maybe from all the scandals. This was a great white but hard to use and dried out fairly quickly.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Robinson Family Soaps Blissful Summer Salt Soak this was pretty terrible I didn’t like the scent and it left bits all through my tub that were hard to clean.

Repurchase: No

FCS Body Bomb in I Love You Most this had no scent and no color.

Repurchase: No

365 Coconut Milk Bath Bomb this was pretty good it had no color which I get this is a more natural brand. I could really smell the coconut milk and it really made my skin feel nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Haircare (2)

Not Your Mothers Tough Love Intense Bonding Treatment this was fine not as good as Olapex.

Repurchase: No

Amika Normcore Signature Shampoo I really didn’t like this it left my hair dry.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Garnier SkinActive Aqua Boost Fresh-Mix Sheet Mask I didn’t like this so getting rid of the other one I had in my stock.

For a mid year check in I need to use up 54 more items and get nothing new in to meet my goal for the year it feels doable now but lets see.

What’s In My Trash? March 2026

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.

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

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.
