What’s In My Trash? May 2025

This was actually a really good month despite not using up a ton of items. I really didn’t bring much in so only one category went up and only by 1 item so that’s really great.

Soo Ae Food Story Mask Kiwi this was just a mask nothing special didn’t stay on super well or hydrate that well.

Repurchase: No

Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum working my way through these I like them but I do not like them as much as Strivectin.

Repurchase: No

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution I used this I think it kept my skin clear.

Repurchase: No

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream this was a really nice moisturize hydrating good texture didn’t sit on my skin weird but it is so basic and so expensive to be this basic. I would use it again if it comes into my life but I wouldn’t spend the money on it.

Repurchase: No

FCS Creamy Facial Wash in Frosting I didn’t like this it had like micro beads in it that didn’t break up it smelled like frosting which was nice but I could not stand the beads.

Repurchase: No

Dove Calming Ritual Dry Spray in Water Lily & Sakura Blossom hated this felt like it didn’t work at all.

Repurchase: No

Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Tropical Cherry this wasn’t that great it had a very light scent.

Repurchase: No

Sudsy Duck Soapery Room Spray in Alice this was clean linen scent not my favorite but it was a good spray. They have been out of business since I got this product in a subscription box.

Repurchase: No

Healing Hearts Candle this smelled nice enough very relaxing the stone inside was cute. Really expensive for the size and what it is.

Repurchase: No

Grace & Ivy Candle Co. Wax Melt in Giving Thanks this has like no scent throw. I find the wax melts from them to be really hit or miss.

Repurchase: No

Seraphine Botanicals Daikon + Dreams Lip Exfoliator this was not scrubby enough it was way to much of the gel binder but it did taste really nice.

Repurchase: No

Fresh Sugar Lip Balm in Mint Rush I love this balm it is so expensive and I go through it so fast but it is soft and minty and I Really like it.

Repurchase: Yes

Carmex Lip Balm in Strawberry this was fine I like the plain and the cherry more then the strawberry.

Repurchase: No

VS Cool & Bright Body Lotion this was a good lotion unfortunately the white orchid was really overpowering to the other scents.

Repurchase: No

Burt’s Bees Hand Cream in Rosemary & Lemon really really liked this the scent was so nice I love herbaly lemon scents. Not the best lotion I would need to reapply it pretty frequently if I was dry but it also wasn’t greasy.

Repurchase: Yes

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration SPF 30 I really like this sunscreen and its one of the only drug store suncreens I am not allergic to so this I love.

Repurchase: Yes

Carol’s Daughter Born to Repair Shampoo this was fine nothing special.

Repurchase: No

Sexy Hair Strengthening Nectarine Mask there was not enough of this to cover my hair.

Repurchase: No

It’s a 10 Blow Dry Miracle Glossing Leave-In this didn’t really do anything.

Repurchase: No

Mistik Hydro Serum this was terrible it had almost like a gel consistency and was not hydrating at all on wet damp or dry hair.

Repurchase: No

Appeal Cosmetics Ultra Crème Liquid Lipstick in Sugar and Spice this is tough I really like the formula and it wears really well but the color just looks horrible on me.
