More trashy talk

My trash filled up quick this month...I'm going through a lot of my samples and feels good to clear out some drawer space. 




I have a ton of soaps from Bath and Body Works.  I won't need to buy any for at least a year or more.  Obviously I was in the Hawaii mood last year.  I finished 2 Hawaiian Pink Hibiscus soaps and a travel size Maui Mango Fruit shower gel.  I always get the soaps when they are 5 for 18.  So that is $7.20 for the soaps.  I believe I got the travel gel for free with a coupon but it has a value of $4 typically with sale prices.  So we will call this section a total of $11.20.  

My Advocare items I used up were my beloved Spark.  I used the Mandarin Orange flavor this time.  I'll go back to my Fruit Punch favorite now.  This is about $38.97 with my discount.  I finished a bottle of ThermoPlus which is like a fat burner/vitamin supplement-$23.97.  And another bottle of O2 Gold about $29.  So approximately $91. 

My typical cut up lotions.  Vanilla Bean Noel is the only other lot56I really use if I don't use Mango Temptation.  I stocked up from Bath and Body Works when they did a sale where I got a bunch for $3 each.  Then I used 2 more Mango Temptations.  They changed up the packaging and the new one I used was the fragrance lotion.  The others I have now are the creams and the lotion was definitely too liquidy.  The creams are super thick and are kind of difficult to squeeze out of the packaging.  They should've just kept my favorite body butter around!  So since I usually get these when they are 7 for $35 I'll say this section is a total of $13.  (10 for the 2 Mangos and $3 for the Vanilla)

Skin care-I used up a chapstick that I had to really force myself to use.  I hate this stuff.  It lasts like 3 seconds.  I think this is $3 maybe?  I used up an RX bottle of Epiduo.  This lasted me possibly 2 years.  It's $50 and my insurance has said no more.  But it has done miracles for my skin.  I'll have to see if there is a generic version. Samples I used were Dr. Brandt Do Not Age Dream Night Cream and Time Reversing Cream.  Hated the smell of these.  These were both .35 oz. in size.  These are $132 and $135 for 1.7 oz  full size making these samples worth about $27.21 and $27.83 each.  A Vichy Night Cream $15 for .51 oz ($50 full size for 1.7 oz) and a Lab Face Cream $10.55 for .23 oz ($78 for 1.7 oz) .  Oh looking closer the Lab Cream was for men.  Well I used it anyways.   These were ok, nothing special.  $133.59 for all this...impressive since 4 of the items were samples. 

Make up-Nars Eye Primer .09 oz.  This was a sample and I really didn't care for this stuff.  Also, given the size of the sample there really wasn't much to it.   A full size is $25 for .26 oz.  So if I am doing the math right almost a dollar per ounce or point ounce...so I guess I can say $9.  Crazy. The Loreal Butterfly mascara is one of my favorites but there was still plenty left in this thing and the little stopper came off so all I could get was a blob of mascara on the wand.  So unfortunately, I had to toss this a bit early.  I think this runs about $8.  The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is a great one, priced around $5.  Already have another one.  $22 for the makeup. 

I didn't actually use up all this soap yet.  I took it out and stored it in one of my new jars from Michaels I had pictured previously.  However, I had purchased this pack of soap over a year ago for about $5 and it is still going strong.  It is a much cheaper alternative than buying a $5 bottle of shower gel every other month or so.  I'll say I have used up about $2.50 of it so far.  My $1 tube of toothpaste which I of course will buy again!  $3.50 total here. 

Candles-Another Vanilla Snowflake ($8), still have a few more of these!  A Vanilla Bourbon small jar (10.99) from Yankee Candle and 2 mini Beach Walk from Yankee Candle.  Beach Walk is probably my favorite scent ever from Yankee.  Not sure on the price of these but I'm gonna call them $5 each?  Yankee is crazy overpriced.  $28.99 for this section.
I used this Method Daily Shower Cleaner up from Target.  This also probably lasted well over a year and I believe it was $4.99.  It's one of those really all natural cleaners.  It worked.
