What’s In My Trash? June 2021

Gosh it seems no matter what I just can’t keep up with my goal this year. Hoping in this second half of the year alot of my bigger full size products start to empty out and add some value to my empties here. I’ll do a little bit of a 6 month half way repcap at the end.

Skincare (13)

Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion Pore Perfecting Exfoliator this is a really nice microdermabrasion scrub it is just so expensive for what it is.

Repurchase: No

Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum (x3) this is fine? Each little tube is about three uses so I am 9 days into using this firming serum and I can’t say I feel like it does anything. I have like 15ish days of serum left so well see.

Repurchase: No

Garnier Skin Active Balancing Facial Mist I hated this it didn’t smell great the sprayer was awful and if just was not that refreshing or hydrating.

Repurchase: No

Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Booster I don’t think this is effective at all.

Repurchase: No

BioRepublic Lost Baggage Under Eye Emergency Repair Masks these did actually do what they claimed and reduced my dark circles and puffiness. They are not the most comfortable and they don’t stick super well but if you can get through that they do work.

Repurchase: Maybe

Global Beauty Care Cucumber Extract Makeup Cleansing Wipes these are a decent dupe for my favorite Garnier wipes and these are way less expensive which is great I prefer the Garnier ones they are a little wetter and a little thicker but these are good.

Repurchase: Yes

Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum this was nice but it was sticky and it is expensive. But it did brighten and it felt nice.

Repurchase: Maybe

The Crème Shop Anti-Aging Egg Nog Sheet Mask this didn’t do anything that any other sheet mask does. They are nice and relaxing but I didn’t see any benefits other then some moisture.

Repurchase: No

The Beauty Crop Avocado Hydrating Eye Mask these are nice very hydrating and cooling and stay on really well.

Repurchase: Maybe

Beekman 1802 Golden Booster Amla Berry Vitamin C Serum (x2) this is the first Beekman product I have tried that I don’t feel like I have seen any effect from. This just doesn’t thrill me I don’t feel like it is as brightening as most other vitamin c serums I have tried.

Repurchase: No

Random (4)

Degree Motion Sense Deodorant in Ultraclear this is my favorite deodorant hands down.

Repurchase: Yes

Hot Herbs Shower Steamer in Apple Cinnamon this was fun it actually had a decent amount od scent better then most shower steamers. I find these to be like a fun treat but have no real desire to go out and purchase them but it was a good one.

Repurchase: No

Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Connected By Love I don’t like the ones with glitter it gets every where no one needs glitter hand sanitizer it like defeats the whole point!

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Fresh Towel Body Cleansing Towelettes I love having things like this on hand and these were fine they were a good size but I am not tied to any particular brand or anything.

Repurchase: They don’t even make these anymore

Home Scents (4)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Fire Soul Wax Tart this smelled really nice and it was pretty.

Repurchase: Yes

Fiction Fueled Candle Girl on Fire (not pictured) I tried really hard to like this but the oak moss scent was just too much for me I passed this on to my gf to use when I am not around but I got most of the way through it and it will get used up. The scent throw was really strong so I would consider candles of other scents from this company in the future.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Summer Boardwalk this was great the scent was so boardwalk summery and sweet and the throw was great.

Repurchase: Yes

Bath and Body Works Rainbow Confetti Candle this smelled so good but the scent throw was not great so pretty disappointed. This did smell like fruity pebbles cake though.

Repurchase: No

Makeup (3)

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original this is one of my favorite eye bases. It lasts forever I already have another one and it’ll probably last me years.

Repurchase: Already Have

Make Up For Ever Extra Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner in M-10 this was as good black eyeliner and it was long wearing but it to dry and hard to sharpen now.

Repurchase: Nope they don’t make it anymore

Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Volume Mascara I hated this it was really clumpy and heavy and dry and sticky and just terrible and everyone else must have agreed to because it is majorly on sale pending being discontinued.

Repurchase: No

Lotion (2)

Fortune Cookie Soap Company Hydrate Me in Bad-Anon I just don’t love in shower moisturizers and I don’t prefer stick lotions as I have learned. I know I have 2 left that I just need to get through but this is just not the product type for me I find it so much more inconvenient then rubbing a handle full of lotion on me.

Repurchase: No

Ahava Deadsea Water Mineral Hand Cream in Sea-Kissed loved this, great lotion, a little goes a long way. Loved the oceany scent. I don’t typically buy really expensive lotions so I don’t know that I would ever buy this but I really loved it.

Repurchase: Maybe

Bodycare (3)

Victoria Secret Water Scrub I loved how this smelled I love that sea ocean salty scent but it was not scrubby enough it was very soft. But it was really nice and softening.

Repurchase: No

Soap & Glory Orangeasm Body Wash this is like my favorite scent ever and they don’t make it anymore. I loved using this and I am so sad that I can’t ever get more.

Repurchase: I wish I could

Natural Pure Honest Whipped Scrub in Dimple Shah this was a really great consistency for a scrub I would hightly consider buying scrubs from this company in the future.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (2)

AG Colour Savour Mask I love this hair mask it makes my colors look so bright and my hair so soft.

Repurchase: Yes

Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk (not pictured) I don’t use dry often because my hair is hella dry but I thought I was enjoying this for the few months I had been using it until I got my hair dyed new fantasy shades and this lifted the color out of my hair. Pissed and annoyed don’t even begin to cover how I felt. DO NOT BUY THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IF YOU DYE YOUR HAIR. I used like 80% of this and am going to pass it along to my gf to try since she doesn’t dye her hair and has never tried dry shampoo but I feel since it literally ruined a very expensive hair dye I get to count this in my empties value.

Repurchase: NO, THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL OR AT LEAST COME WITH A WARNING LABEL

So half way through the year but not quite half way to my goals. I am just barely half way over the amount of items I wanted to use up this year so yay but I am missing half way to value by $110 so freaking close ugh.

Stats as they stand currently could actually be fun to see how they change or stay the same by the end of the year.
