No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2022

I have a couple of ins

Body Shop Cammomile Cleansing Butter - I bought this a bit earlier than needed to get the freebie they were offering.  Some of the items from the free gift are going into DD's Christmas hamper but I am keeping a mini pot of Shea body butter and a small face mask pot.  The other items were a sheet mask, hemp hand cream and a mini cleansing butter.

I've managed to jam another pot of this tightly shut.  Wish they would change the packaging.

I hit pan in another eyeshadow today- a shade called Summer from the Anastasia Beverley Hills Norvina palette.

Last INS and Outs of the month.  It 100% was not my best month with INS/spending 

UU

• Boots Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover: does the job.
• The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density 60ml: I did not use this as regularly as I should, so I'm not sure how well it worked.  I'm going to repurchase though, as my hair has thinned this year (age? covid? stress?) and I figure it can't hurt!
  

INS

• MUOBU Vegan Eco-Friendly Mica Pigment Powder 63 - Metal Orange: Naughty purchase alert!  Well, I've been looking for a replacement orange since my Sugarpill in Feral ran out a hundred years ago, and I haven't found a good one yet.  I was ordering some green slime makeup for Halloween (not listing on here as an IN, as it's part of my a Halloween getup, not actual makeup - I wouldn't put fake blood on here, so I'm not putting slime) and saw they had this on the same site, the colour looked great, so I wanted to give it a try.  It's a great colour, I really like it- wearing it today- Happy Halloween all!   They have a couple of different shades of oranges, so when I use this I'll try the others, but I have a feeling this one is for the win.
• MUOBU Vegan Eco-Friendly Mica Pigment Powder 19 - Green Unicorn: Been on the lookout for a greenish shifty highlighter, so going to try this as it was only £4.
  
• Sugarpill- Liquid Lip Colour in Dropout: A purchase for Halloween, buuuuuuut counting this one as it is just a liquid lipstick- despite it being a grungy green!
  
• Boots Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover: replacement for the one that ran out
  

Month tallies

My UUs and INS are neck and neck this month- 23 of each   

• INS: 23 (14 replacements, 1 new product type, 8 unnecessary items)- £128.61.  

This is less money spent than August and Septembers £££ and more items bought for that money, but it's still more money spent than I would like!  And definitely more volume of products coming in than I would like.

• OUTS: 23 (19 UUs, 3 throw aways, 1 gave away)

My aim next month is to keep my INS below a £100, and keep chipping away at reducing that each month.  I know that is still far too much money to spend on toiletries right now, but baby steps.

Won't make a dent in the make up stash will still last as I'm housebound, so hope to use up more face and hair products.
