No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2022

Just updating with my last UU's of the year:
Lush Hot Toddy Shower Gel 100g: love the scent of this and always try to pick up one each year they release it
Lush Crystal Snow Ballistic: Really liked the scent on this (like a murray mint) and it definitely softened my skin
Roloxin Lift Face Mask: a sample that I've had for a while, didn't really notice a difference on the lifting side of things but it did hydrate my skin
Lush Snow Fairy Body Lotion: a free sample I got the last time I was in store and I really really enjoyed this. It made an actual difference to my skin and made it look and feel more supple
Garnier Ultralift Eye Sheet Mask: Used these while getting ready for Christmas day, they did the job of refreshing my eyes.
The next few were samples I used up while staying with family over Christmas - all were ok, but didn't get enough use to make a proper judgement:
Dr Jaart Ceramidin Serum
Dr Jaart Ceramidin Cream
Dr Jaart Ceramidin Liquid
Kiehl's Facial Fuel
Clarins One Step Cleanser
Aveeno Moisturising Creamy Oil: This was my HG body moisturiser but I think they've changed the formula slightly as it kind of pilled up on my skin.
Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist: Another face mist I've had open for ages and decided to use up while travelling. Liked the scent of it but don't think it actually does anything so not worth the extortionate price tag
Revolution x Sali Hughes Clean sheet Morning Cleanser: Got this as a sample in a little kit when I ordered from Revolution a few months ago for some more eye makeup removing pads. It was ok, but not great. Felt a little too vaseline like on my face and left a film.
Nivea Pearl Spray on Deo: Was ok, did the job.
Nars Afterglow lip balm in Orgasm: Love these balms, and loved the finish of this one and would repurchase if I needed to (I have way too many lip products to work through...)Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Total Mortgage OP - £36,666.15LISA 24/25 - £1670 / £4000 :: NSD September - 2 / 15 :: Moving Fund: £9938.53 :: Decluttering - 872 / 365 ⭐⭐Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20171 -
So my PP list for December looks like this
Nars Afterglow Lipbalm
4 Sheet Masks
UD Chopper eyeshadow
1 Perfume sample
Glamglow Thirsty Mud Mask
Pixi Glow Tonic
Avon Skin so Soft Dry Body Oil
The Body Shop Raspberry Whipped Body Butter
Apothaka Barrier Repair Serum
Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser
Which I think is pretty good progress!
My final tally for 2022 is:
287 UU's worth £2156.58
72 IN's worth £921.83
Again, pretty good progress I think!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Total Mortgage OP - £36,666.15LISA 24/25 - £1670 / £4000 :: NSD September - 2 / 15 :: Moving Fund: £9938.53 :: Decluttering - 872 / 365 ⭐⭐Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20171 -
