Thanks for the tips @ruby_eskimo and @VALM - I shall add it to my spreadsheet so I know when it arrived, but not count it as an actual IN, but if I ever finished it (or even a shade in there), 100% will count it as a UU!Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400

Have a UU to report:
Garnier Oil-Infused Micellar Water - love this stuff, although it isn't perfect at getting off all my waterproof mascara, it definitely helps and is the best one I've tried so far. Bought 2 while they were on offer at Lookfantastic so have moved one of those out of the stash.
Really need to sit an update my inventory spreadsheet at some point - I don't want to have one but I love tracking things. I'm really hoping that by the end of next year the skincare and toiletries side of things will be back to almost nothing, and that the makeup will have been decluttered. That's the goal anyway!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20174 -

I spent some time last night going through my nail polish box. Most are creams so still seem ok however I pulled out two glitter polishes, OPI Goldeneye and OPI Coalmates. Goldeneye had gone gloopy so I threw that away and I intended to try Coalmates but on application this morning decided I didn't want to keep that either. It went on really streakily and then when I removed it, it left a glittery mess all over my fingers. Gone.
