by Here’s a combined trash stash post for the last 2 months of 2017:
I forgot to take a group shot and was too lazy to take the items out of the bag for recycling.
I initially felt that my steam dwindled a bit toward the end of the year to finish up products but once I started to list them out, I found that I did finish quite a few items in the last 2 months. I made a decision to do a big post instead of separating into 2 posts, so get hold of a cup of hot tea.

Diadermine PH5 Hydratant Protecteur Soin de Jour – €4.10 for 50ml
I was sent this by Joyce and it is a fantastic daytime cream! I was at first anxious it wouldn’t be hydrating enough for the cooler months but this worked so well. It wears perfectly under makeup and keeps dry patches at bay. It’s that ideal balance of deep hydration while not turning my face into a grease ball. My skin did not break out or react negatively to this cream at all. There is a moderate perfume-y fragrance but it doesn’t linger. I also really like the compact tube – sanitary and good for travel. I checked what the sunscreen ingredient is in this and it turns out to be a mineral sunscreen: titanium dioxide. There’s no indication of what SPF aspect it is though. If you live in France or other countries that sells the brand Diadermine, please give this affordable drugstore brand a try!

Kibio Ki-Crème – $37 for 50ml
I also managed to use up my nighttime cream in December. This supplies great hydration due to the shea butter content but it does leave a bit of a shiny look to the skin. I did attempt to use this during the day but it pills up under foundation. The whole Kibio line was discontinued, sadly.

Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Intensive Eye Contour cream – $70 for 15ml
As I pointed out in my recent HG post, if Shiseido ever discontinues this or reformulate it, there would be hell to pay! I’m sure lots of thousands of other devoted customers would feel the same. This deeply hydrates my under eye area, doesn’t cause milia, and I feel, has helped with fine lines. Also, this little jar lasts me at least 9 months considering that so little is needed with each application. This product is the holiest of grails!

Pure + basic Lactic Acid plus 10% – $60.45 for 50ml
I got this for half price during the Pure + basic skincare trade-in event last year. It’s a good AHA chemical exfoliant but it can sting the skin quite sharply – products don’t have to be painful to “show” that it’s working. I also think it’s overpriced for what it is. This product claims to not dehydrate the skin but I found it to be drying. I normally have to pair this with another serum, and only use it once a week.

Elizabeth grant supreme Cell Vitality 3-in-1 Cleanser – $30 for 240ml
This was a Christmas gift from 2 years ago and I finally got around to using it. The scent of this product is probably my much-loved thing about it – like a soft citrus with a hint of vanilla. It foams up nicely and is gentle on the skin.

Mandom barrier repair Concentrate Serum – $16 for 60g
This fantastic product is discontinued (of course!) but I managed to score one in April. I did a full review of it a while back.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater – $9 for 118ml
This is a cult much-loved and it was good, but not mind-blowingly good. I didn’t find it as hydrating as other facial mists I’ve tried like MUJI High moisture Toner or Sukin Hydrating mist Toner. Observation: I inadvertently tasted this product (spraying with my mouth partly open, doh) and it tastes slightly sweet. No, I didn’t drink this to use it up!
Stash worthiness: 7/10 Repurchase: Maybe
Lise Watier Magnifix Make-Up Fixative With White Tea – $26 for 115ml
This used to be my much-loved makeup taking care of spray until I found the Avon one. The smell of this is the greatest draw for me – I love tea scents! This glycerin-base spray doesn’t so much as sets my makeup as it gets rid of the powdery appearance on the skin. It does help to prolong the wear of my makeup slightly but not as well as other setting sprays on the market.

Tony Moly I’m real Purifying Seaweed Mask – $1.67 (12 for $20 deal)
Something in this mask caused my cheeks to turn quite pink and a spot of a hive appear on my forehead after I removed this. I read through the ingredients and nothing jumped out at me except for apple extract – maybe it had an exfoliating effect?
Stash worthiness: 5/10 Repurchase: No
Tony Moly I’m real Nutrition Avocado Mask – $1.67 (12 for $20 deal)
In general, the Tony Moly masks are too short for my face but the face openings align well. الserum of this one had a good slime aspect so it adhered well to my skin. There’s a bit of tingle with this mask which I wasn’t expecting. My skin felt plump and hydrated after using this. I also love the scent of this – reminds me a bit of an man-made almond smell rather than avocado though. This is my much-loved of the Tony Moly masks that I’ve tried so far.

Naisture sweet Honey Mask pack – $1.13
Got this from the pack of masks off miss A. The sheet was a medium thickness, and fit nicely on my face (tiny bit short on my forehead) and there was a good amount of serum. I especially liked the soft honey scent and how soothing it felt on my skin. The next morning my skin felt supple and hydrated – just as the mask promised.
Stash worthiness: 8/10 Repurchase: Yes
The Creme shop Milk face Mask – $1.13
This smelled great and that’s all I can really say about it. I’ve tried enough of these Creme shop masks to know that I’m not a fan of them – the material feels cheap and I haven’t experienced any results with any of the masks.
Stash Worthiness: 6/10 Repurchase: No
Tony Moly I’m real radiance Tomato Mask – $1.67 (12 for $20 deal)
I was terrified I wouldn’t love this one after getting 3 of them, blindly. This mask is probably the most raved about of all of the TM I’m real line… and I’m not really sure why. There’s nothing exceptional about it. I didn’t find my skin showed any benefits and I didn’t wake up with radiant skin in the morning. concern not, it doesn’t actually smell like tomatoes, a lot more like soapy wilted salad.
Stash worthiness: 6/10 Repurchase: No
Tony Moly Pureness 100 Collagen Mask – $1.67 (12 for $20 deal)
The first obvious thing about this mask is that it’s made of an unbleached material so it consists of little speckles of dark particles (wood chips?) The fit was pretty good but the sheet itself is on the thicker side so it has a tendency to not stick completely to the skin. It contained a good amount of serum – there’s a soft floral scent to the serum which wasn’t offensive. My skin was smooth and plump in the morning.

Mediheal Platinum V-Life essential Mask x5 – $12.99 for a box of 10
I took a risk getting a box of 10 at Winners and ended up loving this mask. It’s a shame that it’s impossible to find them again. In my last trash Stash, I vowed to finish up the box – I had 5 left and voila, I finished them all. I examined this mask as part of my 30 Day masking Challenge.
Stash Worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: Yes
Malibu Glitz Facial Mask in Pearl – $1.13
This is the fourth mask I’ve tried from this brand and while the others only scored 6/10, this one is better. Where the others irritated my eyes, this one didn’t. The material of this mask is really thin and the serum was soothing.
Stash worthiness: 7/10 Repurchase: Maybe
Etude House 0.2 therapy Air Mask Hyaluronic Acid – $1.30 each
This mask is my much-loved sheet mask that I’ve tried – it checks all the boxes for me: fit, amount of serum, and obvious results. The a lot more masks I try, the a lot more they reinforce for me how much I love this one!

C.O. Bigelow Cinnamint supreme 2X Lip shine – $8 for 14g
This cinnamon flavour is too strong for my liking – I like the a lot more mellow scent of Vanillamint. but the formula is stellar – see my rave review on all of the flavours here.
Stash worthiness: 8/10 Repurchase: No
H&M Overnight Lip Rescue – $10 for 8ml
If scented or flavoured lip treatment isn’t for you, this is a fantastic alternative to the C.O. Bigelow supreme 2X Lip Shine. It has a thick formula that isn’t sticky and stays put through the night, and consists of shea butter in the formula. I must mention that both this and the C.O. Bigelow have a slanted applicator opening, which I find useful.

Delon+ premium Cotton Rounds – approx $1.60 for 100 count
A staple in my skincare routine. I like how these are lint-free and have a meshy exfoliating side.

MUJI cut Cotton White – $3.50 for a pack of 165 pcs
Detailed review here where I compare it to Shiseido’s crack cotton. It’s a dupe!

The face shop Konjac cleaning Puff – $4
My much-loved konjac sponge and still the best price. It’s got a soft squishy texture when wet that is incredibly gentle on the skin. I use this in the mornings in the shower with a foaming face wash.

Nova Scotia Fisherman original lotion – $10.95 for 100ml
I hauled this here and intended to use this as hand cream but I found it too lightweight for that purpose. I used it up as body lotion but 100ml doesn’t last very long. I used up this tube in about 2 weeks. It’s a non-greasy and hydrating lotion that has a light shea scent. next time I need to get the largerالحجم مع المضخة!

Dormer 211 Cream – 16 دولارًا مقابل 110 مل
هذا مرطب رائع لا توجد رفقات لدرجة أنني حصلت عليه وخارجه لسنوات. اعتدت على استخدام هذا على وجهي لكنني وجدت أنه سميكًا جدًا ، لذا انتهى بي الأمر على قدمي على قدمي. أوصي بهذا إذا كان لديك بشرة حساسة وجافة بشكل لا يصدق. إنه خالي من العطور ويتألف من مكونات أساسية إلى حد ما مثل الجليسرين وحمض الهيالورونيك ولكنه يتكون من الزيت المعدني والبترول الذي لا يهتم به بعض الناس.

غارنييه مكثف 7 أيام مهدئ مع العسل
كنت متشككًا في الادعاء بأن هذا يوفر ترطيبًا دائم. الآن ، لا أعرف حوالي 7 أيام بالنظر إلى أنني أستحم يوميًا ، لكنها توفر ترطيبًا طوال اليوم. في كثير من الأحيان ، تشعر بشرتي بالحكة والضيق في الليل مع المستحضرات الأخرى ، لذلك يجب أن أعيد تقديم الطلب في المساء ولكن ليس مع هذا. رائحة العسل ساحرة للغاية – ناعمة ومريحة. للأسف ، لقد تعلمت للتو أن هذا قد توقف. أرني الانتظار لفترة طويلة لاستخدام شيء ما!

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (زيت جاف متعدد الأغراض)-27 دولارًا مقابل 50 ملًا
أنا أحب هذه الأشياء لفروة رأسي خلال الأشهر الباردة الجافة. إنه ليس دهنيًا بأي شكل من الأشكال ولكنه يوفر حاجزًا كبيرًا على الهواء الشتوي. لكنني أستخدم مثل هذا المبلغ الصغير في كل مرة أشعر فيها بالقلق ، فإن زجاجةتي ستنطق بعد ذلك لبضع سنوات ، لذا اتخذت قرارًا باستخدام هذا على جسدي. تنبعث منه رائحة عطلة صيفية ، لذا كان من الرائع مواجهة فصل الشتاء السيئ الذي نواجهه. أقوم دائمًا باختيار الزجاجة الأصغر بالنظر إلى أنني أتناول وقتًا طويلاً لإنهائها ، بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، لا أحب أن الزجاجة الأكبر لديها فوهة رذاذ – هذه واحدة تحتوي على ثقب لصب الزيت.

غسول الجسم النائم المورق – 9.95 دولار مقابل 90 جم
يشار إلى ذلك لجلب الشعور بالهدوء كروتين ليلي ، لكنني استخدمت هذا الأمر كمستحضر الصباح! عادةً ما لا يكون اللافندر محبوبًا جدًا ولكن Tonka يضيف حلاوة أحبها. هذا غسول أكثر سمكا ، لذلك يستغرق بعض الوقت حتى تمتص الجلد. هذا الوعاء الصغير لم يدوي فترة طويلة – حوالي أسبوعين فقط. على عكس الاعتقاد الشائع ، أنا لا آكل غسول جسدي ، أحب تطبيق كمية ليبرالية ، غالبًا مرتين يوميًا.

كريمة اليدين المرطبة في Kiehl في الكزبرة – 20 دولارًا مقابل 75 مل.
يسعدني في هذا الكريم اليد بشكل عام لرائحةه. يمكن أن يكون المنتج نفسه مطريًا قليلاً حتى لا أتمكن إلا من استخدام هذا في الليل. إنه مكلف لما هو عليه أيضًا. هذا الأنبوب استمر حوالي 3 أشهر.

كريمة Hand Wild Wild Rose – 10 دولارات مقابل 30 مل
لم أجرب كريمات اليد TBS من قبل وكنت قلقًا ، فستكون فوضى دهنية ، لكن هذا في الواقع يحتوي على مخفوقة / مثل الملمس ويشعر بالوزن الخفيف للغاية. عند التدليك في الجلد ، يصبح رفيعًا جدًا ويشعر وكأنه زيت جاف ولكنه لا يمتص جيدًا في الجلد. لم أشعر أن يدي كانت رطبة عندما استخدمت هذا. انتهى بي الأمر باستخدام هذا على قدمي في الليل. كانت رائحة الورد ساحرة رغم ذلك – لينة وحقيقية.

Bath & Body Works Foaming Hand Soap في Sunshine & Lemons (LE) و Peach Bellini – 6.50 دولارات مقابل 259 مل.

Wall -Works Bath & Body في فانيليا ندفة الثلج والكاكاو الساخن والكريمة – 6.50 دولار لكل منهما
ليس لدي الكاكاو الساخن لإظهاره لأنه كرهها كثيرًا لدرجة أنه تم إغلاقه في حقيبة وقذفها بعد أسبوع من الاستخدام فقط. انه حقا يكره نوع الحلو المخبوز
