    Not a very exciting month of UUs:

    1 x Bottle of 3% Hydrogen peroxide which I use as mouthwash
    1 x Bottle of glycerine 1 x Bottle of rosewater, used for toner mixture
    Braun satin tape floss


    More exciting ins to add to stash:
    2 x Superdrug Naturally radiant hot cloth cleansers
    Palmers Exfoliating facial wash - excited to use this as there are no microbeads
    1 x Superdrug Naturally radiant micro polish
    1 x Bubble purifying + charcoal face mask sheet - GWP

    I've also invested in a Panasonic waterpik, which is quite messy experience so far and I'm still getting used to.

    I pledge to do better next month!

    I gave my WaterPik to my son, it nearly drowned me. The Philips Air Flossers are so much better. Mine is working to rule, debating buying another as they are not cheap, and the last one was free to review.

    No ins, other than an eyeliner. Some conditioner enroute, to review.

  • Didn!!!8217;t keep track of INs and Outs that well this month but I think I had even so remain at about 130. I can blame this on receiving a gift set and sunscreen.

    I love my Panasonic irrigator, no sore gums from delving around trying to remove debris anymore:D:D

    UU : 17
    Declutter : 6

    Where I could replace items the total value is £151.60


    I spent £91.98. Out of that sum £28.00 was spent on unnecessary items : LUSH bubble bars, back up No 7 cuticle cream and No 7 sponge.

    There are some items I'll need next month still :-

    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
    Primer (ordered)
    ABC body lotion
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Great challenge. Don't mind if I join this.

    I basically still have some Bath and Body Works Sets that were given to me as a gift. I don't exactly love them but they will do for now. Finish everything then buy something!
