What’s in My Trash? August 2023

Well this was a terrible month for empties thank goodness I had a huge buffer or I would have been in bad situation.

Skincare (5)

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 50 this used to be my favorite but I prefer the Supergoop ones now and they are slightly cheaper too as a bonus.

Repurchase: No

Skin Gym Red Carpet VIP Gold Foil Face Mask this was fine it had a ton of serum in it that I was able to jar up and use for a few days it was really sticky though. Not my favorite mask ever.

Repurchase: No

Mario Badescu Super Peptide Serum I liked this while I had it it was a nice texture.

Repurchase: Maybe

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb this is really nice and moisturizing it feels quite nice under my eyes but it doesn’t have any anti-aging benefits so even though I quite like it I wouldn’t want to use it long term.

Repurchase: Maybe

Tony Moly I’m Aloe Sheet Mask these are nice. They don’t do anything special except be cool and moisturizing but sometimes that all you need.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

FCS Spa Mist in Fresh Start this was fun you spray it into the stream of the shower and it makes it kinda smell spa like and it is really nice.

Repurchase: No it was a nice treat but not needed

Yuni Shower Sheets I keep these in my car and travel bags to use as wet wipes and body wipes and what ever I need them for they are really nice and big and thick and smell nice but they are super wet so not the best if you get anything like messy or sticky on your hands or something.

Repurchase: Maybe

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Cereal Marshmallow Bar Candle one of my favorite candles ever the scent was amazing and the scent throw was also amazing. I forgot to take a picture of this and threw it out sorry.

Repurchase: If they brought it back yes

Lichen & Limestone Candle in Aces this was very dark academia scent vibes and the crackling was really nice. I don’t really like these candles though because the wicks are never set properly so when you get to the last 1/3 of the candle the wick starts moving around and it ruins the candle you can’t burn it because it isn’t really safe to do so and that’s a real shame.

Repurchase: No

Lip (1)

Essence Lip Care Lip Serum this was sticky and it didn’t sink in and I really just didn’t care for it at all. Also the wand is shorter then the tube so you can’t reach the bottom.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (1)

Lancome Lash Idole Mascara this was fine it dried out super fast though. It didn’t make my eyes itchy like a lot of lancome mascaras do. I prefer a natural bristle brush not the rubber ones so this is not ideal for me.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (1)

FCS Aloe Me Whipped Cream in Namastay Home this was really nice summer lotion super light nice light scent cooling. Really nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (2)

By/ Rosie Jane Everday Body Oil in Wake the F*ck Up this was a nice body oil it was extra greasy but it did soak in really well and quickly the scent was also really nice it came out a lot more in the oil then in the body wash.

Repurchase: No too expensive

Soap & Glory The Real Zing Body Scrub this was a good enough body scrub I liked the texture I liked the scent I like the Tree Hut ones more.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (1)

Clean Classic Rain this kinda smelled like laundry it was too light and clean for my tastes.

Repurchase: No

Declutter (1)

Ulta Beauty Pixar Finding Nemo Body Lotion in Berry Sorbet I really couldn’t stand the scent of this it was more floral and powdery then berry.


This was a terrible month the 3absolutel worst paid versus spent ratio and the second least used items and second least value. Not great. I am still on track to hit my goals for the year and hoping to really use alot over the next few months.

Total: 163

Approx Value This Month: $123.51

Approx Paid This Month: $51.34

Approx Total Value: $1758.78

Approx Total Paid: $356.36

Still overall on reducing the hoard which is great.
