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!

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)
Megtekintettem erről. 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 Repurchase: Maybe
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)
Szintén megvásároltam ezt a gondolatot, hogy ez volt a Nuxe micelláris víz, amelyet igazán akartam kipróbálni. Végül megvásároltam a NUXE micelláris vizet, és kiderül, hogy nem vigyázok arra sem, hogy vagy ez a festék. Nuxe face products and I don’t seem to get along even though I really want to like their products! Az egyetlen dolog, amit a NUXE-t szerettem, a huile prodigieuse (többcélú száraz olaj), amelyet a hajamra és a fejbőrre használok. Ez a festék csak átlagos.

Shiseido arc pamut – 11 $ 165 szám (áruházak, gyógyszertárak, online)
Ez a hagyományos, amellyel az összes többi arcos puntot összehasonlítjuk (véleményem szerint). Ehhez egy utat tettem, összehasonlítottam más “Dupes” -t a gyógyszertárból (Spoiler: Nem hasonlítanak össze).

Trash Stash: Június 2015 június vége jelzi az év hivatalos középpontját! Mindig azon tűnődtem, hogy miért “karácsonyi júliusban”, amikor valóban sokkal több értelme van júniusban! 💡 It was especially satisfying to finish some of these products this month because many of them I’d been using for a long…

Trash Stash: Szeptember 2015 Ez a hónap úgy tűnik, hogy ugyanabban az időben befejeztem az arc bőrápolási termékeim alapvető összetevőit – olyan furcsa, hogy ez történik. A termékek befejezésének érzése soha nem öregszik! A testbolt E-vitamin nedvesség szérum – 23 $ 30ml (testbolt …
