Trash Stash: July 2015
July just flew by! It was my birthday month and I went on a road trip. Here’s what I used up in July:
And here’s what I thought of each – hopefully this will help you if you want to try any of these.
Avène Eluage cream – $55 for 30ml (drugstores)
This is one of my HG skincare items. I talk about this in my anti-aging skincare products post. This particular tube is actually expired because Dec 2014 but I continued to use it because eh, it’s in a vacuum sealed pump, the risk of it losing full potency instantaneously is low. I’ve started using the Avene YsthéAL Emulsion ($51 for 30ml) as its replacement – it’s less emollient and optimal for summertime. This bottle lasted me much more than 18 months because I only use it in a targeted area (for my laugh lines).

Lise Watier HydraSmart Gel-Crème Hydration 3D – $18 for 30ml (Shoppers drug Mart and online)
This typically comes in a 50ml jar but I saw the 30ml travel size ones online and discovered that they were actually less expensive per ml compared to the full size version (it’s $42 for the 50ml jar, making it $0.84/ml – the travel sized tube cost $0.60/ml). And, the travel size comes in a much more sanitary tube packaging, to boot. I quite liked this gel-cream – it’s a lighter weight consistency so it absorbs rapidly and I choose wearing this for summertime. However, I discovered that the product would pill (or ball up) under some foundations. And over time, the strong fragrance of this – it smells like hair spray – started to bother me. I have another unopened one of this which I hope to finish up this summer.

Alpha Hydrox 12% AHA Souffle – $10 for 45ml (online)
I purchased this from Winners ages ago and have been using this jar on and off. The scent-free cream has a gooey kind of texture that’s lightweight but a bit sticky – with 12% AHA it is certainly not for nightly use for me, it tingles quite a bit but leaves my skin silky smooth the next morning. I choose this for summertime so I chose to start using it again – however, this particular jar has likely lost its potency because it has completely lost the tingling sensation. I have another jar in my stash – it was purchased much later than this one so I hope it’s fresh. I discovered that they’ve because changed the packaging to a tube which is an improvement!
Stash Worthiness: 9/10 Tilbakekjøp: Ja
Caudalie Lip Conditioner – $12 for 4.5g (Sephora)
This came as part of a kit and I’d been curious to try it for a while now – unfortunately, I don’t love it. It has a thin consistency that doesn’t really hydrate my lips very well and it disappears rapidly so I have to keep reapplying. It doesn’t have any scent or flavour which is good for those who are sensitive. The tube lasted me about 6 months.
Stash worthiness: 6/10 Repurchase: No
Prestige My most significant Lashes mascara – $10 for 13.6ml (drugstores)
I did a review of this. It’s a terrific volumizing mascara but it gave me raccoon eyes. When I wear this, I have to layer a top coat to make it transfer-proof. It’s a bit too much work for the results, but if you don’t have tissues with mascaras transferring and want full lush lashes, give this a try.
Stash worthiness: 7/10 Repurchase: No
Indeed Labs Peptalash – $25 for 5ml (Shoppers drug Mart)
I opened this in September last year and I’ve been using it on and off (when I remember) at night. like Cargo LashActivator Night, I do feel that it’s helped my lashes not fall out as much – thus, making my overall lashes look fuller. This product is much simpler to use compared to the Cargo – I just apply a thin line along my lash line like a liquid liner. I have another unopened one of this but I’m not sure if I will repurchase – I may try just plain old castor oil to see how I get on with that.
Stash Worthiness: 7/10 Tilbakekjøp: Kanskje
GOSH professional curl it Baby! Defining cream – $10 for 150ml (Shoppers drug Mart)
I got this on clearance for 50% off or else I wouldn’t have paid this much for a hair product. It was good – I use this on my damp hair to help keep my waves from separating and getting frizzy. It’s not effective on its own but when combined with a curling spray, it does offer some definition and didn’t weigh my hair down. It smells like papayas.
Stash worthiness: 7/10 Repurchase: No
Clean & clear Deep cleaning Astringent – $8.50 for 235ml (drugstores)
Surprised to see this item on here? Well, I don’t use this on my face! It’s way too severe for that. I use this solely for my underarms as the prepping and cleansing step when I sugar them (sugaring is an alternative to waxing). The high alcohol content in this astringent makes it ideal for getting rid of any oils, and the 2% salicylic acid helps avoid ingrowns.
Stash worthiness: 7/10 Repurchase: Yes
Nuxe Toning lotion with 3 Roses (renamed to Toning lotion with rose Petals) – $28 for 200ml (dRugstores)
Jeg har utilsiktet kjøpt denne tenkningen det var Nuxe Micellar vann som jeg virkelig ønsket å prøve. Jeg kjøpte til slutt Nuxe Micellar-vannet, og det viser seg at jeg ikke var så forsiktig med en av det eller denne toneren. Nuxe ansiktsprodukter og jeg synes ikke å komme sammen, selv om jeg virkelig vil like sine produkter! Det eneste jeg har elsket fra Nuxe er den huile-prodigieuse (multifunksjons tørrolje) som jeg bruker til håret mitt og hodebunnen. Denne toneren er bare gjennomsnittlig.
Stash Worthiness: 6/10 Tilbakekjøp: Nei
Shiseido Facial Cotton – $ 11 for 165 telle (varehus, apotek, online)
Dette er den konvensjonelle som alle andre ansikts bomull er sammenlignet (etter min mening). Jeg gjorde et innlegg på dette, sammenlignet andre “dupper” fra apoteket (spoiler: de sammenligner ikke).
Stash Worthiness: 10/10 Tilbakekjøp: Ja
