    Salt of the Earth Deodorant - I think the scent was cucumber and mint, I liked this and WBA.

    I've ended the month with no ins and 11 uu and 3 TA.

    My TA's were an Avon Eyeliner in Golden Fawn, loved the colour in the past but too sparkly for me now, an Essence liquid eyeliner and a No7 Eye crayon in Coffee Bean which was just too red toned for me.

  • @dolly84 well done on zero INS- that's so impressive!!

    My stats this month, not so good....
    • IN: 18 (£160.80 - 11 replacements, 2 new product types, 5 unnecessary items- mostly my three eyeshadow palettes )
    • Out: 21 (18 x UUs- I just broke even! 3 x throw away. All UUs were full size, 4 were sunscreen :lol:)
    • Balance:  3 out
    It's my busiest work month of the year, and although the bulk of my INS were replacements, I did treat myself quite a bit with those eyeshadow palettes. I've been loving them so it wasn't a waste, but it did mean I spent a lot last month.

    Feeling a little like I have lost my no-spend mojo, but also its better than it used to be, so it's still a win for me.
