What’s In My Trash? January 2024

Starting the year off a little rough here. I acquired 30 items almost one a day and used up 17 so just about 1 every two days so not good at all already failing at that that 10% reduction.

Skincare (3)

Kiehls Ultra Pure High-Potency Serum 5% Niacinamide I didn’t have enough time with this to see if it really worked but I think I liked the Ordinary one more.

Repurchase: No

Strivectin Advanced Retinol Nightly Renewal Moisturizer I really liked this I felt like a saw a difference in my skin. It is expensive though.

Repurchase: Yes

Kopari Moisture Whipped Ceramide Cream this was a nice basic cream a little thick but blended in pretty nice and wasn’t sticky.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (7)

Unplugged Book Box Candle in Coraline this had no scent throw but the jar is cute.

Repurchase: No

Trader Joe’s Super Lemon Room Spritz this is my favorite spray it smells so good and really dispels bad scents I will always buy this I wish they sold bigger bottles.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Raspberry Thumbprint this was not that strong or as long lasting as the Hannukah one. It smelled good but ran out of scent very quick.

Repurchase: No

Cowboy and Cricket Wax Melt in Renfield this had a very fall scent I thought I wouldn’t like I don’t usually like those more heavy masculine type scents but this was nice enough.

Repurchase: No

Target Scented Candle in Deadly Nightshade this had a really strong scent throw it filled the room and lasted for awhile it also had a super long burn time and burned clean all the way to the bottom.

Repurchase: Yes

VS Candle in Warm & Cozy I like the Victoria Secret Candle they have a decent scent throw and they are pretty cute.

Repurchase: Yes

FCS Black Flame Candle this was obviously just a little sample tea like it was cute but it burned out in a few hours the scent throw was good just not a scent I was really a fan of a little musky leavey for me.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Lip Balm in Island Coconut this was very balmy but not that moisturizing the flavor/scent was super nice I enjoyed it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Jeffree Star Velour Lip Scrub in Rainbow Sherbert this was a really good lip scrub it was the right amount of scrubby not to hard not to balmy it tasted good. There was a lot in there. I really liked this.

Repurchase: Yes

Bodycare (2)

Basic Skin Shower Scrub this was not really enough to use as a body scrub so I just kept it at my skin and used it on my hands and I really liked that. I will have to get more sink scrubs it is nice makes my hands feel good. This is as the name says was super basic.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Bath Salt Soak In Bright Lemon Snowdrop this was not good. They didn’t dissolve easily they didn’t have much scent this was not good.

Repurchase: No

Haircare (2)

Devacurl Deep Sea Repair Seaweed Strengthening Mask this was fine made my hair feel soft but also kinda puffy which I don’t like.

Repurchase: No

Marc Anthony Grow Long Restoring Anti-Breakage Mask I use these masks all the time they make my hair feel soft I don’t think they are doing anything for breakage though.

Repurchase: Yes

Declutter (1)

Colourpop Palette in Ticket to Dreamland I just never used this I have these colors I’m never inspired by it so I rather pass it along at this point I need to make space.


Gotta pick it up in February for sure.
