Trash Stash: August 2015

Last month was a doozy for empties, I have no concept exactly how I went with so much:

Let’s get started!

Full-sized items

Shiseido Refining makeup primer – $35 for 30ml (department stores as well as online)
I did a evaluation of this before as well as it’s my essential deal with primer. I don’t utilize it daily however I do reach for it the most when I do select to wear a primer.
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: Yes

C.O. Bigelow Lip Balm in Lemon – $7.50 for 3.7g (Bath & Body Works)
I bought this on a whim during a stock up haul of my HG nighttime lip balm. I chosen this up based on exactly how great it smelled in the store. bit did I understand that it would taste so great too! I kept this at my desk as well as it was a nice pick-me-up whenever I want some lemon-y goodness. The lip balm is rather emollient with a great amount of slip, however not as well much shine. At $7.50, it’s a bit on the expensive side for a lip balm though, however BBW usually has a buy 2 get 1 free deal.
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: Yes

Philosophy Purity Made simple Facial Cleanser – $12 for 360ml (Sephora)
I got mine during Sephora’s Black Friday offer so that’s why this was so inexpensive, however routinely it retails for about 3 times what I paid ($44 for 475ml = approx $34 for 360ml). This is a gentle cream cleanser that I utilize in the mornings in the shower –  I like it, however not like it – it’s gentle however I wouldn’t state it’s fantastic for removing eye makeup as well as oil as claimed (I did test it very first to eliminate makeup –  I still prefer oil cleansers) Also, the scent is type of spicy? I don’t understand exactly how to explain it however I’m not a fan. It did the task in the mornings however I would only think about repurchasing if I discover it once again for cheap. This bottle lasted me for ages (~6 months).
Stash worthiness: 7/10     Repurchase: Maybe

Rimmel gentle Eye comprise cleaner – $8.99 for 125ml (drugstores)
I haven’t mentioned this on the blog before however it’s one of my long time favourite cleaner for non-waterproof eye makeup. I use oil cleansers very first to melt off most of my eye makeup as well as then clean up utilizing this product – it works extremely well for that purpose. The product claims to work on water resistant mascaras as well however it’s just not true! It leaves no soapy residue, is fragrance-free, efficient (save for the water resistant stuff) as well as extremely affordable – I only buy this when it goes on sale for $4 and I always have an unopened bottle in my stash.
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: Yes

Bath & Body works Waikiki Aloe Gel lotion – $15.00 for 166ml (Bath & Body Works)
Best buy of the summer! I got this during the BBW summertime clearance sale for 3 for $15. I loooove this scent – key notes are coconut, sea notes as well as bamboo – I’m somewhat obsessed, actually. I can’t get sufficient as well as I like layering it as well as smelling it on my clothes. This specific product is no longer on BBW’s site however it is offered from Amazon. The formula of this aloe gel lotion is likewise lovely – takes in quickly as well as makes my skin supple. This product made it onto my July favourites. I did stock up on a number of tubes of this.
Stash worthiness: 10/10     Repurchase: No (gonzo)

Herbacin Kamille Soft Hand cream Unscented – $8.50 for 75ml (drugstores)
This is a German brand which I got as a Christmas gift as part of a set that included body lotion as well as foot cream. The formula was okay – it has a runny structure however thickens as you rub it into the skin – it doesn’t leave the skin as well greasy. however unfortunately, I hated the smell… it’s supposed to be unscented however it smells like dough that’s gone poor or something. I ended up utilizing this up on my feet so it was as far away from my nose as possible.
Stash worthiness: 5/10     Repurchase: No

L’Oreal Natures therapy Scalp relief treatment Shampoo – $12.19 for 355ml (Sally beauty Supply)
Normally I stay away from shampoos that are creamy – I discover they generally evaluate down my hair (there’s nothing scientific about this assumption however I feel that remove shampoos are more clarifying). however this doesn’t evaluate down my hair as well as it’s extremely nourishing for my scalp (and smells like tasty eco-friendly apples). I’m still getting the strange dry patch flare ups around my temple even during the summertime, for some reason.
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: Yes

Curl Keeper – $46 for 1L (salons / online)
I discussed this in my winter hair rescue post, however it’s something I utilize year-round to keep my hair from getting frizzy.  I like that it does not evaluate down my hair, as well as it does not cause develop up.  The 1L bottle lasted me 6 months with almost everyday use. If your hair is curly or wavy, I extremely suggest this – it’s my trick weapon.
Stash worthiness: 10/10     Repurchase: Yes

Annabelle Le huge show mascara – $10 for 10ml (drugstores)
This mascara was a clumpy mess, however, when combed out with a metal tooth lash comb, the results were great – full volumized lashes with decent length. And, impressively, it did not smudge on me. However, it was just method as well much work every time to make it look presentable. I still discover Cover woman LashBlast volume to work better, as well as without the clumps.
Stash worthiness: 7/10     Repurchase: No

Canmake eyebrow liquid in 01 natural brown – 500¥ which approximately converts to $5.30 CAD but I’m sure I paid double that online
This brow marker has such positive evaluations on the internet however I was left disappointed. The colour is great – an ashy brown that looks natural. The application is effortless – if you’re not familiar with brow markers, they’re usually a sheer laundry of colour that’s meant to mimic hair strokes – the impact doesn’t look like you’ve Sharpie’d your brows on. The issue with this brow marker is that the tip gets clogged easily, so after every 5th stroke on my brows, I would have to wipe it on the back of my hand to continue utilizing it. The other problematic problem is that the product cakes as well as flakes off my brows! I utilize a spoolie to clean with my brows to soften the lines as well as as I’m brushing, the product becomes crusty as well as is visibly flaking off. Ugh. Not a great look.
Stash worthiness: 4/10     Repurchase: No

gwp / travel-sized items
This shows all the gwp / travel sized products that I utilized up as well as would not purchase the full size:

• Clarins Body lift Cellulite Smoother – awesome minty tingle does not mean it’s doing anything
• Clarins One step Facial Cleanser – for lazy people, as well as leaves oily residue on the skin
• The deal with shop THE therapy important tonic treatment – wasn’t wow’d sufficient to buy the full size (I did a evaluation of this here)
• Molton brown White Sandalwood Body laundry – I don’t like the scent of sandalwood
• fight it out & Lyle Vitalising Shampoo – ho hum, I took this from a hotel

These gwp / travel sized products I would (and have) purchase the full size:

• ProTerra Honey as well as Vanilla Conditioning Shampoo as well as Moisturizing lotion – these were pilfered from one of the B&Bs we stayed at during our road trip, as well as I absolutely liked both the formulas as well as the scent!  I googled the and it is available on Amazon, however only in little hotel sizes, as well as the business only creates hospitality products.
• Kibio Ki-Crème – unfortunately, this Clarins-owned brand has been discontinued, but I did handle to snag a couple of full sized tubes of this from shoppers while they were clearing it out.  I kept this bit tube in my purse for when I get dryness around my nose – it’s extremely hydrating however not greasy.
• Clinique wetness surge intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator – I got a few of these in gwp bags as well as it got me hooked! I was extremely skeptical about this lightweight gel formula being able to moisturize my skin however it truly works, as well as doesn’t add any type of greasiness.  I have an unopened full size jar waiting to be opened soon!

Have you utilized any type of of these products?
