What’s in My Trash? June 2022

Wow it is July the year is half over like how did this happen so fast? I am super duper failing this year both on using stuff up and on not bring more stuff in then I am using up.

Skincare (11)

Strivectin TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream Plus this was very thick and I don’t feel necessary.

Repurchase: No

It Cosmetics Confidence in A Cleanser this was fine just a decent gentle cleanser but expensive for being pretty basic.

Repurchase: No

Derma E Firming DMAE Eye Lift I didn’t really like this it was pretty thick it wasn’t bad just not my preference.

Repurchase: No

Bare Republic Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 I really disliked this the zinc was very heavy so this was very thick and very white. Very hard to blend in and sticky.

Repurchase: No

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion 50+ SynchroShield I love this sunscreen it is light and not white and feels really nice on I wish it wasn’t so expensive.

Repurchase: Yes

Clarins Double Serum I didn’t really care for this it was very oily and I don’t like having to mix my products.

Repurchase: No

Clarins Double Serum Eye same goes for this eye serum I did not like it was oily and inconvenient.

Repurchase: No

Josie Maran Argan Beta-Retinoid Pink Algae Serum this was fine but one use is hard to tell if I like it or not.

Repurchase: No

Kylie Skin Clarifying Gel Cream this was fine. I think If you are younger and need an acne friendly Moisturizer this would be great.

Repurchase: No

Coola Sun Silk Drops SPF 30 I thought I would like these and that they would be similar to the Shiseido but they are not they are separate really badly and are just a no.

Repurchase: No

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water I really don’t like micellar waters but it works fine enough in a pinch.

Repurchase: No

Random (2)

Aquaphor Ointment I am finally done with my tattoo and another tube of Aquaphor down. I will always use this for various things I really like it.

Repurchase: Yes

Ulta Premium Quilted Round Cotton Pads these are good I like cotton rounds there isn’t much special about most of them. I have decided to no longer include them in my empties though because I go through them pretty slowly.

Repurchase: Yes

Home Scents (2)

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Merry Mimosa this was nice enough I really only use these for my bathroom.

Repurchase: Maybe

Homeworx Citrus Mojito Candle this was not that great the scent through on this was pretty weak compared to the one I had previously tried. Pretty disappointing for such an expensive candle.

Repurchase: No

Lip (2)

Clinique Moistue Surge Lip Hydro Plump Treatment this wasn’t my favorite this is more a glossy balm then an actual lip balm or lip treatment.

Repurchase: No

H2O Beauty Lip Gel in Clear as Day they don’t make this anymore I liked it because it tasted good and it was blue but clear and it was just fun to use. I liked the gel feeling of this.

Repurchase: I can’t

Lotion (2)

Aveeno Body Daily Moisturizing Lotion this was a purchased based solely on needing and unscented good moisturizer for my tattoo. I would not have purchased this otherwise. I really don’t care for very generic lotions like this.

Repurchase: No

Burt’s Bees Hand Cream in Honey & Grapeseed this was very greasy and when I cut it open to be able to use it all up it was kinda chunky I didn’t love this. Smelled like honey though.

Repurchase: No

Bodycare (3)

Tree Hut Shave Oil in Watermelon I love these shave oils they give the closest shave and leave my legs silky.

Repurchase: Yes

Le Petit Marseillais Vanilla Milk Extra Gentle Shower Crème this was definitely extra gentle but the scent was more milky than vanilla-y to me and I didn’t care for that I was hoping this was gona be the other way around but it was pretty nice to use.

Repurchase: No

Edge 2 in 1 Shave Cream this sucked it was sticky but also wiped away really fast and I did not get a good shave with this.

Repurchase: No

Perfume (2)

Gucci Flora Perfume this was a lot nicer then I expected it to be. I would actually consider wearing this again.

Repurchase: Maybe

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur this was really nice and light and sweet and I really Like it a lot. Too bad it was limited edition from many years ago.

Repurchase: Yes

Haircare (3)

Drybar Triple Sec this is a great texurizer and I love the scent.

Repurchase: Yes

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Intense Oil Crème Pre-Shampoo Treatment this made my hair really fluffy and staticy but it also gave my hair a lot of fullness and volume so it was kinda hard to decide how I feel about this.

Repurchase: No

FCS Leave-In Conditioner in FOX I love these spray leave ins from Fortune Cookie Soap company and I really loved the scent as well.

Repurchase: Yes


27 items the third most I think this year and that’s really just not that great.

Total This Month: 27

Total: 173

Approx Value This Month: $299.02

Approx Paid This Month: $44.67

Approx Total Value: $1935.48

Approx Total Paid: $341.33

Well ok I still don’t feel good about my progress but looking at the overall stats I have only increased my collection by 72 items which is 12 items a month that isn’t so terrible. The only category that I decreased in my lip balm collection.
