What’s In My Trash? March 2021

nightmareb4

At the end of the first quarter of 2021 and I am still behind in total value but ahead in total items. I feel like I didn’t use that much this month. This month was a whole blur.

Skincare (14)

Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask I loved this so much. So much so that even though I have so many eye creams I bought another one already. I actually saw results and quickly with out irritations this was a really good eye cream. The only sorta down side is that it isn’t really hydrating so I would either layer another eye cream over it or skip this one or two nights a week in favor a hydrating eye cream but I don’t even care because personally I don’t need a very hydrating eye cream every night. I am so in love with this. It is a really thick balmy texture two so it doesn’t migrate into your eyes or all over your face and it really made all the fine lines disappears so much love for this.

Repurchase: Literally did the night I used it up

BioRepublic Aloe Rescue Mask this was fine a moisturizing sheet mask.

Repurchase: No

Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid Boost 360 Eye Cream this was thick but blended in pretty well and was very soothing. I liked this a lot a little went a long way.

Repurchase: Maybe

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb I just used this for some hydrating in conjunction with the Glow Recipe eye cream. I don’t care for this I feel like it is really expensive for a do-nothing hydrating eye gel it is just light and lightly hydrating.

Repurchase: No

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream this was nicer then I expected. I thought this would be really heavy and thick kinda like the First  Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream but this is really light and fast absorbing. Pretty nice cream. I have plenty of moisturizers that I love so I wouldn’t repurchase this but I liked using it.

Repurchase: No

Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Peeling Mousse I hate these kinds of products. The ball up on your skin to make you think that it is dead skin cells, it isn’t that’s just a chemical reaction between your skin oils and the product, and the real exfoliation is usually chemical or should be on an expensive product like this. This did nothing. I just don’t get along with Philosophy skincare.

Repurchase: No

Naisture Tea Tree Mask Pack this is fine there isn’t much to say about most sheet masks. I feel like they are all just ok unless they are super amazing or super awful there isn’t much to say about them.

Repurchase: No

Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Peel I think I liked this but only using it once and then I have one more I’m not going to see any results but it didn’t upset my skin and my skin felt nice in the morning.

Repurchase: No

Beekman 1802 Milk Foam Calming Bubble Mask this was whatever I don’t feel like it did anything and bubble masks are fun but a little bit of a pain because they are messy and you can’t really do anything else while you are wearing them.

Repurchase: No

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream this was unimpressive and a bit thick for my taste.

Repurchase: No

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant so I have tried this before and didn’t like it. I found out I had used it wrong I tried it again correctly where you dissolve this in water or a cleanser and then let it sit on your face and while better, I still don’t like it. It is messy and a pain for a pretty mediocre exfoliating experience.

Repurchase: No

Strivectin Anti-Wrinkle Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum can you marry a skincare product because I want to marry this. It actually works like it actually got rid of lines that were forming on my face and I love it so much and I am so sad that it is $89 because I think I am going to go into actual shock when I go re buy this in the future.

Repurchase: Yes

The Beauty Crop Avocado Hydrating Eye Mask I didn’t really these they didn’t stick well and didn’t have a ton of serum so it felt like they were doing nothing.

Repurchase: No

Lord Jones Acid Mantle Repair CBD Moisturizer this was very thick I actually got two nights out of this packet. I don’t know if it did anything after two used but it felt really nice on.

Repurchase: Not at this point

Random (2)

White Vintage Mickey Mouse Pouf (not pictured) last of my Mickey Mouse poufs I liked these and they lasted a super long time.

Repurchase: Yes

Lush Shower Bomb in Comfort Zone (not pictured) the quality of this did n ot meet my expectations it lasted two showers but it melted weird and was messy and didn’t really steam or add much scent to my shower and I love the comfort scent from Lush but this did not do it for me.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (4)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Blueberry Maple Pancakes I love all the blueberry scents from bath and body works they always have such a good scent throw and I love sweet bakery scents.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Copper Coconut Candle this is one of my favorites it smells like girls scout cookies to me and I like it a lot. I don’t know if it is special enough to class as one of the candles I am still willing to buy from Bath and Body works we will see.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Whipped Coffee Candle this burned through really really fast and it must have burned really hot because it melted the sticker on the outside. Not great.

Repurchase: No

Hand Soap in Vanilla Nutmeg this is a unbranded soap that I picked up at a Marshalls or TJ Maxx like years ago I forgot I even had it until I found it in the back of a cabinet So long that it had lost its scent. This was fine as a soap a soap it literally lasted forever there is more in there but I can’t pump it out and I don’t care enough to pour it out and use it up. It smelled nice when it had a scent.

Repurchase: No

Lip (5)

Victoria Secret Goodnight Kiss Overnight Lip Mask this was fine it was more like a glossy balm then a lip mask but it tasted really good it was a really interesting vanilla and it was thick and fine.

Repurchase: No, too expensive

Medusa’s Makeup Lip Balm in Cha Cha Cha Cherry Bomb of the three lip balms I have tried this was my least favorite from them the flavor was very off and it was really melty and gross I didn’t love that this was tinted either. I also do not under stand how this is priced at $8.95 none of their other lip balms are even close to that in price it makes no sense.

Repurchase: No

Columbia Candle Supply Green Apple Lip Balm this came weirdly with a wax melt order I made a long time ago and it isn’t even a product they sell. I don’t know it was weird. This balm had no flavor even though it was supposed to be green apple but it was a super nice balm it had that thick slippy feel I like.

Repurchase: Can’t

Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy  I really like the Fresh balms they are feel so nice on and they taste and smell really good but I hate how soft they are because they break and I go through them really really fast which is not great for the price.

Repurchase: Probably not

Elf Lip Exfoliator in Cherry Tart they have since renamed this flavor to sweet cherry. When I got this I thought it was the best lip exfoliator but I have grown past it. I don’t love how sticky it is mixed with the balm in it I find it surprisingly mess and hard to get off as well as it leaks every where into the packaging making it messy.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

Burt’s Bees Body Lotion in Milk & Honey this was nice it smelled like honey it was really thick and moisturizing. I am really glad oi Cut this open because there was so much left in the tube like 2 weeks’ worth of lotion that was couldn’t be squeezed out.

Repurchase: Maybe, I have so much lotion

Bodycare (2)

Bath and Body Works Merry Cherry Cheer Shower Gel this was nice it was all the fruity scents I like with cherries and raspberries and such I liked it. The purple color was fun too.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Walnut Body Scrub in Sorcery & Seduction, so just to call myself out I used this on my face and body because their walnut “body” scrubs are the same formula as the walnut face scrubs they used to make that I loved. I know walnut scrubs can cause a lot of skin irritation and problems for a lot of people so don’t do what I do but for me my skin really responds well to walnut scrubs. That said the scent on this was so strong, it was meant to represent Jafar and it really did, that I used it more on my body then face because it was a lot of scent to have up that close to my nose. I loved it but the scent not so much.

Repurchase: Not in this scent

Perfume (2)

Juicy Couture Perfume Malibu I liked this a lot but I preferred the other two versions of malibu the surf and the la la. This has been discontinued so it really doesn’t matter either way.

Repurchase: No

Pinrose Secret Genius I liked this a lot it is the kind of sweet perfume I really like. I liked Gilded Fox a lot better so would purchase that over this.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (3)

Bumble and Bumble Bb. Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat /UV Primer I don’t really like heat protectants I find them always to be sticky and heavy in my hair. And I just struggle to force myself to use them.

Repurchase: No

Pravana Chromasilk Vivids in Magenta (not pictured) this was good it is a professional hair dye that I don’t know if a non-cosmetologist can buy so I wouldn’t be able to buy this. I did like this better than the dyes I can normally access it dyed faster and with less mess.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Restorative Hair Mask in Not Now, Ma! I really like their restorative hair masks they have almost a balm texture so a little goes a long way and it ends up always coming down to the scent for me and this smelled very fruity and delicious.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (5)

Skinfix Foaming Oil Cleanser (x2) I hated this it didn’t feel like it was cleaning my face at all just like there was oil sliding around on my skin. And it just felt gross.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment I just hated this I couldn’t force my way through it. It was so sticky and thick that it was hard to blend in and it was really important to fully blend it is because it is green. I get that it is supposed to neutralize the red in your skin but it was so green it made my skin look grey and it was so thick and sticky.

Mac Lustre Lipstick in Hug Me I don’t loke this color it is a little too light on my and I don’t love the lustre finish.

Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Noir-ishing Plum this is fine but I have lipsticks in this same color that just perform better. So I need to make cuts because I just have too  many lipsticks.

I can’t believe we are 1 yr from when the world shut down it is just been such a wild 15 months I just can’t even.

What’s In My Trash? February 2021

nightmareb4

So I didn’t do quite as good this month I am ahead of my average on items I need to use up per month but I am a little behind in value I need to use up each month but I am not too worried yet it is only February.

Skincare (9)

Origins Original Skin Retexturising Mask I really don’t care for Origins masks I find them to dry down really hard and be really difficult to take off which ruins the experience for me I don’t like masks that I need to scrub off my skin.

Repurchase: No

Victoria Secret Chill Out Calming Clay Mask so this was supposed to be 3 uses but there is like 20 or 30 uses in this packet. It heavily smells like cucumber like that perfume kinda cucumber which I really hate but it was fine as a calming clay mask it did what it claims to do. In that regard it was a pretty good mask.

Repurchase: Maybe

Murad Acne Clearing Solution this was fine but I really don’t think you need to spend this much on a spot treatment.

Repurchase: No

Rich Radiance Cocoa Butter Cleansing Wipes random wipes I picked up at the dollar store not great not bad.

Repurchase: Probably not

CVS Health Acne Spot Treatment this was fine it did its job but I still think the clean & clear one is more effective. But this was very very similar.

Repurchase: Maybe

Little Barn Apothecary Coconut + Pear Refreshing Mineral Mist this was fine, not my favorite face mist every but it was fine.

Repurchase: No

Beekman 1802 Milk Wash Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser I guess this was fine I didn’t have any lasting thoughts about it. I don’t really feel like I need expensive cleansers. Other than the Glamglow one that I really saw a difference with I don’t think they generally are worth it.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Acai Berry Revitalizing Sleeping Mask so there was like three uses in this little pack. I could really smell berries when I put this on but it was pretty soothing. But compared to some of the other sleeping masks I have used this is not as good.

Repurchase: No

Glamglow Youth Cleanse Daily Exfoliating Cleanser this isn’t even made anymore so it does not matter what I think but it was just a scrub I don’t like how the particles are all different sizes.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Parissa Azulene Oil I like using this stuff after waxing or tweezing if my skin is sore, I like to have some on hand but it doesn’t have to be this one. I go through it very slowly.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (2)

Wishes Candle Company in The Bookworm I didn’t really like this at all. I really really wanted to like these cand;es because of the whole pin inside thing but the candles themselves are not that great. This had scent notes of vanilla citrus and honey all things I love but the candle didn’t really smell like that it was just a bit weird and off smelling. Also I had major wick migrating which means the wick wasn’t properly glued down and for a $19 one wick candle I expect a lot better then that.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Wax Tart in Psych-O’s this was really upsetting because it smelled good but had no scent through.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Dionis Goat Milk Lip Balm in Caramel Apple I wanted to love this I had been really curious about these lip balms and it was just ok. No wear near worth the price. I wanted more apple in the caramel apple flavor and it was more caramel. I t did have a really long use life I worked on this one for a few months since either Sept or Oct so at least 5 months of almost daily use.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara I don’t love lancome mascaras I find them very heavy and goopy.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (3)

Soap & Glory Heel Genius this was a cooling lotion which I did not expect and don’t really love but that is personal preference. I didn’t find it to be that moisturizing on my heels either. Now I thought I had used a foot cream from Soap & Glory before but this was totally different then what I remembered, so I don’t know if I remembered a different cream or if it was a totally different brand.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream in Hot Cocoa & Cream well it smells like hot chocolate and that is certainly something I want in a hand cream. It isn’t that moisturizing but its smells nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream I really like the scent of this but the cream is just fine I don’t get why it is so expensive other then the scent it seems like a pretty generic body cream.

Repurchase: No, I’d use it again but I wouldn’t buy it on purpose.

Bodycare (5)

Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil in Coconut Lime I love the concept of a shave oil and this is the only one I have ever seen at a reasonable price. This is my least favorite scent I would rather have the vanilla one but that one is really hard to find around me so this is fine. I love how sleek and shiny my legs look after using this and how close of a shave I can get with it.

Repurchase: Yes

Trader Joe’s Body Scrub in Citrus I liked this one a lot more than the green tea one. I thought it did a better job at exfoliating but there was no scent and I was looking forward to a citrus scent.

Repurchase: Maybe

Fortune Cookie Soap Bath Bomb in My True North this changed the water such a deep purple color, I love bath bombs that make the water so dark you can’t see through it.

Repurchase: No

Fur Oil this just isn’t the product for me. It is meant to treat the health of your hair and prevent ingrown and stuff like that but it just isn’t it for me.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Body Scrub in Brown Sugar this was supposed to be coffee scented but it was really just vaguely brown sugary sweet I really liked this one a lot I would say tied with the citrus one.

Repurchase: Maybe

Perfume (1)

Lush Snow Fairy Body Spray smells like Snow Fairy which is a candy sweet scent that I love it also lasted on my skin and clothes for ever. Which I don’t hate but a lot of people would so be warned if you get this. Maybe do the mist and walk-through thing rather than spraying it on yourself directly.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (3)

Rated Green Cold Brew Rosemary Balancing Scalp Pack with Charcoal I actually really like this it soothes my scalp when it feels yucky and dry and itchy but it does it with out drying my hair out and it is a lot easier to work into my scalp then a traditional thick scrub is. The only thing is that it really smells like rosemary so strongly that it smells like savory food which is a bit weird and oft putting for me in the shower. But I don’t mind the scent of rosemary and I can’t smell it on my hair after a shower so it is ok.

Repurchase: Yes

Marc Anthony Refreshing Coconut Clear Dry Shampoo I hated this it didn’t make my hair look or feel cleaner, it was clear and it did smell nice like coconuts but it did not preform as a dry shampoo.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Tink Argan Hair Shine Serum this was one of those products that I was just trying to savor and keep forever. I loved it so much it was such a good shine oil it had the perfect thick not not too thick texture and it left my hair shiny but not greasy. The Tink scent it one of my all time favorite scents and you can very rarely get it so like I am so sad it is gone.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (8)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Warm Cozy Hydrate Me (not pictured) I just don’t ever find myself wanting to use these I don’t love in shower lotions and I thought I would like stick moisturizers and in general I don’t so I have one I am working on. And I have one in a scent I really love that I want to try and give a chance to so I am choosing to pass this one along to my gf because she likes stuff like this. If me and the other one don’t get along, I will pass that along to her as well but I really want to give it a chance and I am super committed to finishing up the one in my shower that is half used.

Small Toothbrush Style Brush (x2) these came in a set from Amazon and I really liked the set. It was pretty and soft but they are lesser quality and they are getting old and ratty now. I have tried to convince myself to use these tiny brushes but I just have no use for them and they take up the space of 2 or 3 brushes each so they just have to go I can’t keep them just cuz they are pretty and I have the whole set.

Royal and Langnickel Moda Small Toothbrush Style Brush pretty much same goes for this brush as the other two I just don’t reach for this style brush in this size.

Brush Cleaning Mat this is just old and disgusting and worn out. I don’t remember where I even got this mat but it has been used so much that its gotten soft so it doesn’t clean as well and the suction cups have worn out so it moves around a lot while I am trying to clean my brushes and it is just time for a new one.

SK-II Pietra Facial Treatment Essence (not pictured) someone I know wanted to try this so I rather pass it on to them then waste it on myself knowing I don’t think it does anything.

L’oreal Lacquer Liner in 172 Navy I have used this once in like 3 or 4 years so I am letting it go for space reasons I just don’t have a need for a navy blue gel liner. Natural Pure Honest Lip Balm in The Dreamer this one makes me sad because it smells so good and as a lip balm it isn’t bad it just it has that hard texture of like a chapstick which is fine but the problem is this is in a pit and you have to dig it out and its too hard to get out and once you get it out you get to much and it is all clumpy. If this had been in a tube I would have loved it, this is a totally packaging fail for me.

I really need to do some more decluttering this year but I got some stuff moved out this month which makes me feel really good.
