What’s in My Trash? December 2022

Last month of the year I tried so hard to pull out all the stops and meet my goals but I didn’t manage it. Despite using up more items this month then I the rest of the year.

Skincare (13)

Beauty Stat Universal C Eye Perfector this was interesting. It was a really silicony eye cream it did make my under eyes look and feel nice but it was also really bright and looked off on my skin.

Repurchase: No

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Crème this was really thick and heavy not my cup of tea.

Repurchase: No

FCS Microdermabrasion Scrub in Dear Friend I like their microdermabrasion scrubs they are really scrubby and fine. A little too scented but I mostly use them in the shower.

Repurchase: Maybe

Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate I don’t know that this did anything.

Repurchase: No

Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream this is too thick and sticky for my liking.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Facial Spray in Aloe Sage and Orange Blossom I like this spray it is my favorite scent from this line.

Repurchase: Yes

Shiseido Ultimate Protector Lotion SPF 50+ I like this sunscreen a lot it is thin and matte feeling.

Repurchase: Yes

Covergirl Weightless Water Cream I really like this cream it feels nice and light not crazy hydrating but super nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick I don’t like this it does break down makeup well but it burns my eyes and that really just makes the convenience of this null and void. This isn’t even made anymore so it really doesn’t matter so goodbye.

Repurchase: No

Patch Holic Aqua Plus+ Soothing Mask this was very very wet and left my skin feeling filmy and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Retinol Resurfacing Serum this was nice it left my skin feeling really smooth but it was a bit more irritating then other resurfacing serums I have tried.

Repurchase: No

Bliss Lid + Lash Wash Makeup Remover this didn’t work that great for breaking down makeup it didn’t sting my eyes but it just wasn’t that effective at all.

Repurchase: No they don’t even make this anymore

Clarins Sunscreen Multi-Protection SPF 50 I didn’t really like this it was very very white and hard to blend in but not thick and sticky like a lot of sunscreens like this are. I can’t tell if I was allergic to this or not when I would use it on my face for multiple days in a row I would get break outs but if it was just once or twice it I didn’t so it is a bit hard to pin it on this.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Dove Go Fresh Revive Antiperspirant this is fine I am just at the point where I buy what I can get for a good price.

Repurchase: Maybe

Degree Dry Protection in Shower Clean I really didn’t like this it was the really gooey slippy kinda of deodorant. It worked really well but I was not the fan of the texture.

Repurchase: No

Home Scents (6)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Old Fashioned Cider Donut this had no scent.

Repurchase: No

Lichen & Limestone Candle in The Ravens the scent throw was super nice on this one and the crackling wood wick was really lovely but the wick wasn’t fully secured so it traveled a lot and it ended up on the side od the glass and I couldn’t fix it which isa bummer because that makes it too dangerous to burn.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Scented Candle in Pineapple Cilantro this had no scent throw.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Candle in Honeycrisp Apple this had a lot of scent throw unfortunately I didn’t love the scent it was almost too appley and clean I just didn’t love it.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Gingerbread Marshmallow this had like no scent throw it was not good at all.

Repurchase: No

Insight Editions Slytherin Color Changing Candle the scent throw on this was light but the burn time and how well the candle burned was really fantastic and it was super fun to watch as it changed colors as it burned and you would get different shades of green it was super pretty and not I have a nice jar.

Repurchase: No only because this is like a one time thing you only need one of these jars hanging around lol

Lip (3)

Lasting Smiles Lip Balm in Strawberry Crème I really liked this it smelled and tasted like strawberry cream and was a really good lip balm.

Repurchase: Maybe

Wet n Wild Lip Mask in Candy Apple this smelled and tasted good but it wasn’t a particularly good lip mask and it was very red tinted so it would get on everything if I was wearing it at night.

Repurchase: No

Beekman 1802 Goat Milk Lip Balm this is a really smooth comfortable lip balm but not really scent or anything else.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

Smashbox Always On Metallic Matte Liquid Lip in Maneater I really love these and I am sad that this one has reached the end of it’s life. It is such a pretty Christmasy metallic red and it lasts so well through eating and drinking and talking.

Repurchase: Probably

Mac Magic Extension Mascara in Extensive Black I really disliked this mascara a lot. It made my eyes itchy it was so dry and so hard to removed and it didn’t make my eyelashes look that great.

Repurchase: No

Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lip in Bawse you know it’s Christmas when I use up 2 red lipsticks in one month. I love this one just as much ad the metallic one. I would be very torn on which to buy since these are pricey I wouldn’t want to buy both I need like a mini pack lol.

Repurchase: Probably

Lotion (4)

Bath and Body Works Champagne & Apple Honey Body Lotion this was fine it smelled nice it didn’t blow me away.

Repurchase: Maybe

Ulta Beauty Pixar Monsters Inc Body Lotion in Salted Caramel this was nice ran through it very quickly but the scent was really warm and yummy and it was a nice thinner lotion.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bath and Body Works Hand Cream in Vampire Blood (Wicked Plum) at first the scent on this was so strong that it was unbearable, but it mellowed over time. These hand creams are some of my favorites.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Whipped Cream in I am Found I like the whipped cream lotions and the scent was quite nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (2)

Bath and Body Works Peach & Honey Almond Shower Gel I didn’t like this it had no scent. I like my body washes to be really scented and luxe feeling and this just didn’t do it.

Repurchase: No

L’Occitane Amande Supple Skin Oil this is a great body oil but it isn’t so special to justify the price.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (3)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Fine Fragrance Mist in So Extra Terrestrial this was too sweet smelling like almost made me sick.

Repurchase: No

Pinrose Merry Maker Perfume I really didn’t like the scent of this and it also faded almost immerdiately.

Repurchase: No

Juicy Couture Noir this is my favorite Juicy Couture perfume and it is the last one I had and I’m pretty sad about that.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (2)

Verb Ghost Shampoo I didn’t really like this I don’t feel like it did a whole lot for my hair.

Repurchase: No

Andrew Fitzsimmons Hair Conditioner Body I did not like this at all it made my hair so poofy but also flat and I couldn’t style it for the life of me after using it really just didn’t work for me.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lip in Audition I just don’t like this color it is too light and too peachy on me and just doesn’t look right. Love this line of lipstick though it is just the color.
