Here is Dayle’s trash bin:

*Jason Sea Fresh toothpaste (Whole Foods) Ever since I gave up fluoride I fear the dentist, but so far so good. This was ok.  I am definitely open to suggestions for a good natural toothpaste.

*Alba Botanical VERY emollient cream shave. (Whole Foods). This stuff was awesome. I switched from Trader Joes shave cream which I used to think was perfect. This stuff is even better but pretty pricey!  I will definitely get more of this.

*White Barn Apothecary Geranium White Tea mist (Petit Vour). I really liked this more than any other I have tried.  It was soft and not at all over powering. I don’t usually love floral scents because they bring on the allergies, but this was nice and light and overall perfect for me.

*Lavanilla Natural deodorant in Vanilla Amber. (Sephora) As a girl who used crystal for a long time, this was a nice change.  It worked through my lunch time yoga and/or WERQ (hip hop Zumba) class and I never had to worry about dropping it and having shattered deodorant crystal all over the floor – I bought a 3 pack of this so good thing I liked it!

*One Love Organics vitamin C body oil (Petit Vour Limited Edition)- I have a love hate relationship with body oil. I love it, but I need so much of it and it cost so much that I hate it unless it comes in sub box.  This stuff smelled heavenly and worked well mixed with my Everyone body lotion.

*Graydon Mask and scrub (GoodBeing). This mask came in the form of 5 gel capsules. Great idea, but I always ended up having to cut them open with scissors and it was always messy!  I mostly used this as a body scrub-too much for my face, but the smell was awesome and it left my skin soft!

Nuxe lotion Tonique Douce (Amazon). This was no lotion, it was ok but weird to get toner in a foil.

Clinique and Dior lipstick samples– I don’t use either brand due to the ingredients, but I like to try the different colors to see if they work on me.

*****************Pnut’s Trash Bin******************************

Both samples from Sephora kits

Clinique- this actually looks like my shade but its too light when applied. I put this in my giveaway pile. I have been opening all my tinted sub box stuff and the only thing that appears to be a match is Cargo’s tinted moisturizer in medium!
Boscia- a pricier version of a Biore self-heating mask but in cleanser form! I loved it.

*********MJ trash Bin*****************
Honest Bubble Bath (Target): My life right now is allllll about bubbles in the bath tub and out (we actually now own a bubble machine-put that on your want but don’t need list). This bubble bath works great is free of bad stuff and of course is a million dollars…. ok not literally a million but $10 for bubble bath…sigh…maui…sigh
Odacite Intense Hand and Foot Cream (Good Being): This little sample came in the world’s most difficult to extract container. I am still perplexed by it. The lotion itself is thick and smells minty. Why does all foot lotion smell minty?! Is that the only smell strong enough to combat foot eau de perfume?? Wouldn’t re-buy.
Acure Brightening Facial Scrub (Good Being): This scrub is packed with good stuff and is actually supposed to improve discoloration and sun spots. According to the package 86% saw an improvement in pigmentation. Statistics like this always make me laugh… I had to take statistics for nursing school so I have a very slim knowledge of it. But it is enough knowledge for me to know that 86% could be 86% of 30 people who have skin that maybe had one sun spot……Anyhoo.. I digress… This scrub is actually quite wonderful and cheap. Perfect scrub as we head into hotter weather and the humidity picks up.
Uprooted Raw Cacao and Lavender Face Mask (Subsista Box): So I mixed this up with yogurt and slathered it on my face. I looked like the swap thing while wearing it but it did some amazing things. The ingredients are super simple but of all the masks I have used lately I think this one hit it out of the park. 6 hours later my skin still feels amazing.
Odacite Grapeseed and Grapefruit serum concentrate (Derm Store sample): I lub lub lub Odacite serum concentrates but this one wasn’t for me. It is geared toward people with acne/oily skin which I am not. I tried to use it as a spot treatment. I am not sure if it did anything. However, there are many of their concentrates I would love to buy (hello, carrot seed oil).
Alrightttyy that was the trash service for this week. Email me mailboxjunkie808@gmail dot com if you want in on sharing your trash and opinions.

    @Dayle I might have to try that deodorant. I have two different ones I am trying right now and neither have lasted through a power walk, toddler play and yard work.

      I love it! I loved the Odacite wild carrot too, I wish you would have got that one!

        Ok if you are needing some carrot oil…heheheh I know a dealer….Have you checked out Garden of Wisdom?!? I got a 4 oz carrot seed oil (made in the usa) for $11!!!!! It smells just as lovely as the Odacite one!

    I LOVE that White Barn Apothecary mist too. I totally agree about the scent. At first, I was afraid it would be too….”old lady” scented, but it’s light & refreshing. I’m impressed that you’re through it already. I need to step up my product game!

      Or maybe I should slow down my product game? I don’t usually use things that quickly, but I really liked this one. BTW i inappropriately called it White Barn, it is Little Barn!
