    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 🤯

  • @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 down  :D  Palettes 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  :s ).

    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!!!!!!
