2 UU Elf concealer and REM Cosmic eyeshadow.
I have thrown away the following
Huda Beauty Amythyst Palette - not a fan of purple looks
MAC Babe in Charms Paint pot - ditto
Too Faced Gingerbread palette - too old
Colourpop Flagstaff "paint pot" dried up
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!

Had two surprise UU's this morning:
Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum Mini - WBA, really liked this and think it's helped contribute to my skin looking pretty good recently *touch wood*. Have another mini BoJ serum to use up, then a couple of my usual Byoma ones, but then I'll probably buy the full size of this, in the new year 😂
Perfume Sample - No idea what this was as got it in the Escentual blind boxes they did ages ago. Was a gourmand scent so going to say it was probably Angel or something similar. Not my kind of thing, I prefer fruity scents but need to work through them. I am determined to get through all my samples before I buy another perfume. So on to the next one in the box.
And with that I have now UU 400 items this year 🤯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 20171 -
@ruby_eskimo UU'd 400 items? woah that's amazing, well done!!
I fell completely off the wagon this month and bought a couple of eyeshadow palettes in the sale- ones I have wanted for a long time and not just pure impulse, but did I need them? No. Oh well, they'll be arriving at the end of October so I will just have to enjoy them when they arrive!
27 INs and 28 OUTS (24 UU, 2 throw away, 2 gave away), so at least I am one item downPalettes aside it wasn't looking too terrible and then I remembered I ordered 2 of my face spf and a couple of eyeshadows for Halloween (NOT the palettes, these are separate loose eyeshadow pots
).
MUST DO BETTER IN OCTOBER! If for no other reason than I need my money for other things, not just toiletries and makeup- NEED A NEW FRIDGE FREEZER AND KITCHEN NEEDS PAINTING!!!!!!Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400

Yep don't know how I managed it but somehow there's 400 UU on the spreadsheet for this year already.
