Since I skipped June’s Trash Stash, I’m breaking up this post into 2 parts instead of overwhelming you with a monster post. 😛 Here’s about half of what I used up in the past 2 months:
The first part will be solely focused on skincare and sample / travel sizes, and part 2 will be on the remaining beauty products.
Skincare
Sekkisei Clear Cleansing Oil – $45 for 250ml
I have had my eye on this cleanser for a while since it’s well reviewed online, but it’s quite pricey (Sekkisei is the higher end skincare line from Kose). I noticed that some Shoppers Drug Marts started carrying the Sekkisei line and was tempted to redeem my Optimum Points for this. But as luck would have it, I spotted this at Winners for $30, so I scooped it up. And here’s where sometimes I need to do more research instead of falling for the hype.
This oil cleanser is not olive oil based – it is mineral oil based – I personally prefer olive oil based oil cleansers from the many types I’ve tried. This also has a runnier consistency than what I like. It also has a perfume-y smell that I don’t care for. Lastly, this isn’t effective for removing eye or waterproof makeup. I’m glad I got this discounted or else I would have been more disappointed.
Stash worthiness: 5/10 Repurchase: No
The Face Shop Chia Seed Moisturizing Toner – $27 for 145ml
I think this might be my new favourite toner. Before this, I was smitten over The Body Shop’s Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. While they’re both hydrating, I found The Face Shop one to be better to removing all remaining residue from my face. It has a light fresh scent that is very subtle. The bottle of The Face Shop is also lovely: it’s made of glass and features a pump nozzle which I felt made for more consistent amount per use. I use 6 pumps per use and this bottle lasted me 3 months with nightly use.
Stash worthiness: 10/10 Repurchase: Yes
Yves Rocher 3 Detoxifying Teas Micellar Cleansing Water
This is my favourite micellar water and it’s discontinued! It’s effective and soothing and smells like tea. One bottle lasts me about 2 months. I stocked up on this and the countdown is on – I now have 4 bottles left.
Stash worthiness: 10/10 Repurchase: No (not because I wouldn’t, because I can’t!)
Daiso Detergent for Puff and Sponge – ¥100 in Japan but C$6.50 from Ebay, for 80ml
This isn’t skincare but I didn’t know where to stick it. 😛 This is the BEST cleanser for makeup blending sponges. It keeps my sponges in tip top condition and it is cheap as chips! A bottle like this lasts me months because it only takes a few drops to thoroughly clean a sponge.
Stash worthiness: 10/10 Repurchase: Yes
Holika Holika One Solution Anti-Wrinkle Ampoule – $17 for 30ml
I reviewed this and compared it to the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II in this post. This serum was hydrating but didn’t yield any noticeable results. This bottle lasted me about 6 weeks with daily use.
Stash worthiness: 6/10 Repurchase: No
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II
I had to stop using this with about 1/3rd of the product left, after I discovered it contains Triethanolamine which isn’t very good for your skin. Read more here.
Stash worthiness: 4/10 Repurchase: No
Clarins UV Plus HP Sunscreen Multi-Protection Tint in Light – $42 for 50ml
I reviewed this here.
Stash worthiness: 8/10 Repurchase: Maybe
Consonant Skincare Ultra Firming Organic Eye Cream – $36 for 15ml
I like this but don’t love it. I use this as an under eye serum / base for my actual eye cream. I do find it creates a lifted and smooth base for other products to sit on top. On its own, I do not find it to be hydrating enough. It also takes a while to absorb into the skin so this is only used at night time.
Stash worthiness: 7/10 Repurchase: Maybe
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!
Stash worthiness: 10/10 Repurchase: Yes
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.
Stash worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: Yes
The Face Shop Konjac Cleaning Puff – $4
Another staple. I use a konjac sponge every morning on my face, in the shower. I’ve strayed away from The Face Shop version for a while to try others but this remains my favourite!
Stash worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: Yes
Life Brand Soothing Face Mask with Lychee and Black Tea – $1.67 for 15ml
This was a cream mask that was anything but soothing! It was so strongly fragranced (like laundry detergent) that the fumes irritated my eyes. And when I applied it on my face, it stung my skin especially around my nose and on my cheeks. I noted that this mask contains lactic acid (AHA), which might be the culprit. One good thing (or bad thing) is that the pouch contained a lot of product, nearly enough to do 2 full masks – but no thanks! I must admit that my skin felt smooth afterward but it wasn’t worth the pain. Also, this mask is made in Canada (sorry!)
Stash worthiness: 3/10 Repurchase: No
Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Sheet Mask – $5 for 20ml
I’ve used the Hydraluron serum before but I wasn’t a fan (I found it sticky and not that hydrating) but it’s a wildly popular serum. I guess based on its popularity, Indeed Labs decided to jump on the sheet mask bandwagon. The mask construction is interesting – the eye flaps and side / chin slits are only perforated – the user needs to rip them apart. There is a slight tingle on the skin. The serum is slightly slimy and the sheet material is very thick – it adheres fairly well on the skin. This mask is made in Japan – the first sheet mask I’ve noticed that I’ve tried made there. I didn’t notice any improvements on my skin after using this.
Stash worthiness: 6/10 Repurchase: No
The Face Shop Real Nature Face Mask Calendula – $3 for 21ml
The serum is slightly gooey and the face mask shape fits my face perfectly. The smell is a bit off though – like waxy wilted flower petals. It’s supposed to be smoothing. My skin did feel soft after but no major improvements.
Stash worthiness: 6/10 Repurchase: Maybe
Etude House 0.2 Therapy Air Mask Collagen – $2 for 20ml
This has a milky serum that feels very soothing. Similar to the other Etude House 0.2mm masks, this fits snugly on my face and adheres exceptionally well. My skin felt quite smooth and plumped afterward.
Stash worthiness: 8/10 Repurchase: Yes
Sephora Rose Sheet Mask – $8 for 22g
This mask comes folded up with a light pink mesh backing that needs to be removed before application. The material of the mask is very thin but has a sturdy feel to it. The size and shape of this mask fit so well to my face, it was as if I was the fit model! 😛 The scent is quite a strong rose which lingered the entire time I had the mask on. There’s a tiny bit of tingle on the skin. This is supposed to provide deep moisture and be brightening but the next morning my skin felt dehydrated and was slightly blotchy. Not a good look! For $8 per mask, I expected more of this. I do have the Green Tea version which I hope performs better.
Stash worthiness: 4/10 Repurchase: No
Montagne Jeunesse Glacial Clay Spa Mask – $1.50
This is a unique mask in that it’s a hybrid of a clay mask and a sheet mask. The sheet itself is made of a very thick paper material, which is soaked with a watery clay liquid (similar consistency as calamine lotion). The mask shape fit my face pretty well, if not on the long side on the forehead. The smell is a bit overwhelming – like an aqua / ocean-y scented air freshener. As the mask dries, the sensation is not unlike a plaster of Paris cast. But, this mask really works! My skin felt supple and looked really clear the next day – my pores look less visible too. I really like the convenience of a clay mask in a sheet form – I’m curious if any other brands offer this style of masks, especially Korean ones.
Stash worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: Yes
And of course, the 30 face masks that I used up as part of my 30 Day Masking Challenge! Read all about each mask here. 🙂
Sample / Travel Size
Skin79 The Oriental Gold BB Cream – yet another Skin79 BB that I love! This one provides great coverage with a slightly more glowy finish. I think this would be great for those with a drier skin type.
Elizabeth Arden All Gone Eye and Lip Makeup Remover – this is an excellent eye makeup remover and a contender as one of the top removers I’ve ever tried. It’s effective, gentle and does not leave a film on the skin. This 50ml bottle lasted me a while too. I will definitely get a full size bottle of this ($25 for 100ml).
Smashbox Photo Finish Luminizing Foundation Primer – this was a lovely glowy bronzy primer. This sample lasted for a long time since so little product is needed with each use. I would consider buying this or something similar.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Gleansing Cloths x2 – Still working through these samples. I took these with me on my weekend away to Kingston. I saved the empty packaging and brought them home so I can photograph them for the blog! 😆
Consonant Skincare Ultra Moisturizing Organic Face Cream – this is a good cream for the summer months. I’m using the full size of this right now.
REN Radiance Perfection Serum – I quite like this. It made my skin look bright and provided decent hydration. The full size is $68 for 30ml which is pricey.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + – this is a staple in my skincare stash. It’s a very basic no frills moisturizer but it works well under makeup and with other skincare. I especially rely on this if I’m using a lot of serum treatments and need something that won’t interact with them.
Davines Momo Shampoo and Conditioner – the SO brought these back for me from the hotel he stayed at when he went on a work trip to Palm Springs (must be nice eh?). They’re just ok hair products – the scent is very musky and off-putting. BUT, I kind of dig the little bottles and they’re quite good quality, so I’m keeping them to refill for travel.
Fekkai Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner – I have a bunch of these to use up. Makes my hair soft and smells nice (shea and jasmine).
Lancome La Vie est Belle Fragrance Body Lotion – this is so stinky. I used it once and could not bear to use it again. The only way I can describe the smell is if a garbage bag of caramel was allowed to spoil in a humid, damp environment, then wrapped in a dirty dog blanket for a month. Voila!
Skintimate Moisturizing Shave Gel in Raspberry Rain – I got this in one of those Back to School beauty sets from Shoppers or Rexall ages ago. I don’t need to shave my legs often since I’m pretty much a hairless mole. 😛 This smelled fruity and was very moisturizing.
Dove Go Fresh Cool Essentials Cucumber & Green Tea Scent Antiperspirant – I bought this for a trip ages ago and kept it in a drawer at work for emergencies. It’s nice but I wouldn’t seek it out (but it’s normally what’s available at the dollar store).
The Body Shop Shea Shower Cream – not my favourite. I like things that foam up as my body wash.
Dr Sholl’s For Her Jelly Soak – I got a few of these from a friend to try and it’s weird. It’s silica powder that you add to warm water and it expands into little bits of jelly in the water. I don’t know if it really helps with my feet but it was a change from using just soapy water.
Tocca Giulietta Nourishing Body Scrub – not a great scrub but it smelled nice; the notes are described as pink tulip and green apple.
Mary Kay Satinhands Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub – I never remember to use this but it feels so nice to use a scrub on the hands. Try it next time you’re using a body scrub, use it on your hands, especially on the palms. 🙂 This one isn’t terribly unique but it did smell like apricots – I showed this product in my post about how I do my manicures.
And that concludes part 1 – stay tuned for part 2 which includes hair and body care, plus makeup – coming up later this week! I’ll also reveal the final tally in that post. Have you used any of the items shown here?

Yes, I think YR was sick of all the money they were making off that micellar water and they said NO MORE, we can’t possibly handle this much money. UGH.
I took a short break from sheet masks after my 30 day spell but I do really like how the masks make my skin feel (in general). I remember you liking that Glacial Spa mask – when I read your review, I thought, what an odd concept but it just somehow works!
I have thought about retroactively checking all my makeup products for Triethanolamine but I am scared to as well. I did the next best thing and did a search on the beautypedia site:
https://www.beautypedia.com/skin-care-reviews/?Ntt=Triethanolamine
And I was shocked to see how many The Ordinary products contain that ingredient! And mascaras too… 😮 Products that rinse off aren’t as worrisome since the ingredient is approved for skincare that isn’t meant to be left on… but mascara? Why!

Ugh, sucks about the Kosé and the triethanolamine. I am not religious about checking for ingredients, but I’ve had to recently since something made me break out and I can’t figure out what it is. (Might just be a lack of sleep thing, but I’ve stripped down my skincare products to bare minimum.)
Yves Rocher are forever discontinuing wonderful things. I don’t know what their problem is!

Lack of sleep might be a culprit for your skin issues. Something about sleep just heals everything. Also water. But mostly sleep! 😉
I often suspect YR is just repackaging their products to keep things looking fresh. I wouldn’t be surprised if they launched a new tea-based micellar water in a few months. 😛
The Life Brand masks are usually benign! This is the first one that I’ve suffered actual pain. I’ve not tried the Rexall ones yet – might have to try one.

You know, when I was using the Sekkisei cleansing oil, I was thinking that you’d probably like it! 😛 Maybe you can find it at Winners. Or redeem points at Shoppers for it.
I did a search for that ingredient and I saw that The Ordinary has quite a few products that includes triethanolamine! I did a search on beautypedia so you can see what else contains this ingredient:
https://www.beautypedia.com/skin-care-reviews/?N=4294966879&No=0&Nrpp=96&Ns=p_num_days_published%7C0&Ntt=Triethanolamine
Obviously it’s not an exhaustive list but it has a lot!
That Smashbox primer did give a pretty bronzey glow – it was especially good with foundations that were a bit pale for me in the summer months. And, it did prime my skin nicely. 🙂
