    Another UU Perfance clay mask from Etsy. I think I have one left. 

    My totals
    15 UUs (7 makeup/fragrance items, 8 skincare).
    1 IN Elf concealer.
    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!

    • Elf Hydrating Camo Concealer Satin Finish- Fair Rose: the lightest of the 3 I had.  WNBA, don't like them.  One more to go!

    Month tallies

    • IN: 12 (eek, £93.12)
    • Out: 35 (25 full size, 10 samples)
    • Balance:  23 items gone!

    Not the best month for INS.  7 items were replacements inc sunscreen, soap and deodorant.  2 were new ingredients I wanted to try to help when I had my breakouts earlier in the month.  The remaining 3 were my totally unnecessary Superdrug makeup purchases! :tongue:

    Next month I'd like less than 10 INS (should be possible!!) and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less than almost £100 spent!
