What’s In My Trash? (A.K.A. An Empties Post) March 2017

Apparently I was busy this month. I almost doubled the my goal of empties this month. Not even sure how I managed that.

Look at them all this picture just gives me such a happy satisfied feeling.

As usual I will be breaking them down into categories and giving my opinions on them.

Lotions

6 used up lotions and one I’m decluttering.

3 Fortune Cookie Soap Company whipped cream lotions. Two I used up and one of the black jars (It’s Showtime!) that I am decluttering. I love these lotions I use them all the time I’m sure everyone is super bored of seeing these already. I really wasn’t fond of the way It’s Showtime smelled so I am getting rid of it.

Repurchase: Yes

I also have a Hydrate Me stick from Fortune Cookie Soap Company. This is a sort of stick lotion that I applied in the shower right before I got out smelled amazing but wasn’t my preferred way of lotioning it took to long to sink into the skin.

Repurchase: No

Everything Balm by Cake Beauty this smelled amazing so sweet and vanilla like. But it is really just fancy Vaseline. It can supposedly be used for anythign but I was only able to use it for lip balm. It also clogged my pores around my mouth if I used it to much. This was nice but not for me.

Repurchase: No

Lemon and Cream lotion also from Cake Beauty this I loved this was a great lotion that absorbed quickly and smelled edible. Like a perfect lemon and vanilla cupcake I loved it and used every last drop.

Repurchase: Yes

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream this was a great littl elotion I used it on my hands and it absorbed quickly and there was no scent really. If unscented is something you look for this is a great lotion, I like scented lotions so I would probably not buy this for me.

Repurchase: Probably Not

Serums

Drunk Elephant C- Firma Serum this is a vitamin c face serum that is quite pricey. I did not like it I got 2 uses out of this packet and it was very sticky.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley CEO this is also a vitamin c serum that is also a moisturizer this I liked slightly better then the Drunk Elephant but it took forever to absorb into my skin.

Repurchase: No

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Oil this was horrible it was crazy greasy and just awful run the other way from this. It left pools of oil on my face I had to was it off it was so bad.

Repurchase: No

Shaving

Eos shaving cream in pomegranate raspberry I do not like this one as much as I liked the vanilla shaving cream. I do not fee like this one gave me as close a shave or as long lasting. I would repurchase the vanilla one I will not repurchase this one.

Repurchase: No

Baby oil when I want a very close very smooth shave I use baby oil if you have never tried it you really should. It will kill your razor though so be prepared for that.

Repurchase: Yes

Face Wipes

Purity face wipes from Philosophy these are nice for just wiping your face in the morning but that is about it. They do not remove my makeup at all. They also aren’t soapy or overly wet or overly dry. They just aren’t anything special.

Repurchase: No

Pond’s Luminous Clean face wipes these wipes are a bit soapy but they do not leave a residue. They take off my makeup decently well and they are a nice strong cloth. If these are on sale I might buy them again but I am not wowed by them.

Repurchase: Maybe

NuFace Prep-n-Glow this was a one wipe sample and I loved it. These are expensive for face wipes but I may have to splurge on these one day. There is a cleansing side for removing your makeup and then an exfoliating side. This felt amazing and removed my makeup well.

Repurchase: Yes

Hair Care

Fortune Cookie Soap Company deep conditioner this was a nice conditioner very hydrating but not any other benefits. A little goes along way. I really like the marc anthony hair masks better and they are cheaper so I would not repurchase.

Repurchase: No

Dry Bar Dry Shampoo OMG this is the best dry shampoo ever I wish it wasn’t so expensive it really makes my hair look clean and smell great. Leaves a horrible white cast though that I really have to work into my hair.

Repurchase: Yes

Fortune cookie soap company shampoo this made my hair really dry so I ended up using it as a shaving gel to just use it up.

Repurchase: No

Living Proof Prime Style Extender this is another miracle product that Sephora introduced me to. I thought this was going to be terrible. I put this in my wet hair before straightening and was like ok that didn’t do anything if anything it made my hair take longer to straighten. Then I spent time out in the rain with out my hair getting ruined and it stayed straight for longer so I am in love.

Repurchase: Yes

Quai Treatment mask this doesn’t tell you what it is supposed to do ans it really didn’t do anything. I really didn’t get the point of this.

Repurchase: No

Makeup

Elf Soothing Lip Balm I liked this especially for the price I believe it was about a $1. It was slightly tinted and very hydrating and smooth. The only problem was how quickly it would start to melt when you touched it to your lips so the tube got very messy very quick.

Repurchase: Maybe

Urban Decay Primer Potion this is the OG eye primer that every one has know and used. I have like 4 more tubes so I am not interested in repurchasing this any time soon.

Repurchase: Not for awhile

Beauty Tools

Sephora cotton rounds these were fine as good as any other cotton rounds. Im not picky.

Pur minerals beauty blender this was my first beauty sponge and it is a little bitter sweet to be letting it go but it is two years old and starting to fall apart its starting to have some little tears in it. I loved this though it is very soft and spongey.

Repurchase: Probably

Nail brush I like nail brushes for cleaning up after work. I work outside with alot of dirt and this helps clean it off my hands and nails. I have a few more but I will always have one around.

Random Extras

Sensodyne True White toothpaste this didn’t whiten my teeth so not useful to me.

Repurchase: No

Prada Candy perfume I liked this at first and then Idk I lost interest in it.

Repurchase: No


So I got 12 more this month then my goal. That is insane I am really proud of myself this month.

Total this month: 27

YTD: 57
