What’s in My Trash? April 2023

I was so close to catching up this month 36 cents was all I needed to be back on track. That is like the definition of annoying.

Skincare (8)

Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment io have no idea why this is so expensive. This was fine but I don’t really think it did anything amazing.

Repurchase: No

Bare Minerals Ageless 10% Phyto-Retinol Night Concentrate this was fine. I liked it I don’t like it as much as a regular retinol.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Green Tea I like these having a spray just feels like a nice ending step to my skincare routine and these are cheap I don’t think they really are beneficial in anyway though.

Repurchase: Yes

Upcircle Eye Cream this was just an eye cream nothing special and not suited to my needs this is more suited for someone much younger.

Repurchase: No

belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb really didn’t like this it was heavy but not moisturizing and kinda sticky and just was not right for me at all.

Repurchase: No

Strivectin Advanced Retinol Eye Cream this was good I really liked it also when you think this is empty cut it open I had like 3 weeks of cream left.

Repurchase: Maybe

Trader Joe’s Watermelon Overnight Face Mask I thought this would be a dupe for the Glow Recipe one and it is not it is very sticky and doesn’t do anything.

Repurchase: No

Soo Ae Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask this left me feeling very sticky an a little irritated.

Repurchase: No

Random (1)

Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirent in Sheer Cool this is good I like these I go through phases where I use Dove and phases where I use Degree.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (5)

Honey Nut Cheerios Candle this was not good.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Pink Lemonade this was officially my last one of these and at the moment I have no intention of buying more. I might buy a Christmas one when Christmas comes and I have a lot of guests but I just don’t think these are impactful enough.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Single Wick Candle Grapefruit + Sage I really hated the scent of this but it did have a really strong throw.

Repurchase: No

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Candle no scent throw these were just a fail I got suckered in with the cute jars.

Repurchase: No

Lichen & Limestone Candle in Hampden College this had a great crackle to it and a really dark academia woodsy library scent. My biggest problem with these is that the wicks are glued down properly so they travel and you can’t burn these all they way through like I would like to.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Fresh Sugar Infusion Lip Treatment in Citrus Rush I love these lip balms but for $24 I don’t love this as much as the mint one. They are so creamy and nice and smooth and perfection but they don’t last forever on the lips I run through them pretty fast. These really are only a treat product.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Victoria Secret Mega Moisture Foam Coconut Oil Moisturizing Body Mousse this was a mess the foam dispenser didn’t work well it was kinda greasy and because the spray sprayed everywhere I found out that this would stain things it touched like a white/pink color. All around fail.

Repurchase: No

Ulta Beauty Body Lotion White Chocolate this smelled like chocolate which was nice. But the lotion was sticky and not that great at moisturizing but the scent was great.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Andrew Fitzsimmons Hair Conditioner Prism I liked this fine but I don’t know that I would repurchase this in favor of trying something new.

Repurchase: No

Ashea Restore Hair Treatment I hated the process of using it it was so thick like a solid and really hard to work through my hair and really hard to rinse out but it did leave my hair really nice and soft so kinda a love hate with this one.

Repurchase: Maybe I got this at a random farmers market near my house so I don’t know if I can ever find it again.


Getting closer hopefully I can get ahead in May. I was very meh about everything this month.
