No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2025

Welcome Maisiealbert and you're very welcome about the Naturally Thinking- I absolutely love their oils!

@VALM hmm, aside from what I'm about to list below, I think I have two more items I'll be finishing this month- my l'oreal concealer- it's on it's very last legs, and my face SPF which is cut in half n I'm scraping it out!

• IUNIK Black Snail Restore Cream: Love this, will repurchase once I finish up the Purito Sea buckthorn moisturiser that’s in my stash.  Has a thick but bouncy consistency that I really like, and my skin has been looking really good recently, so am sad one of the products that must have been helping is done!
• Hidden Forest Hand Cream - Amber and Patchouli: Smelt really nice, this was my work hand cream. Quite non-greasy.  I think this might have been a Christmas gift as I don't recall buying it myself!

And I hit pan in Unearthly Cosmetics Not Normal Eyeshadow palette in shade Gemini (pastel/light sparkly lime green shimmer), and this morning I hit pan in a blush which was exciting!!!  My Odens Eye Solmane blush in B102- Warm Sun (peachy orangey)- I bought this in November 2022 and use it quite frequently so very long-lasting!

Nope, finished the extra items on payday, so they counts as Junes UUs, so my month totals are as follows:

INS: 10 (£86.19)
OUTS:  17 (16 UU, 1 throw away)
DIFFERENCE:  7 fewer items in my stash!

Overall I'm still on target for my average of £50 a month- this was month 5 so should be £250 spent, and so far I've spent £255.16 for the year so I'm really pleased with that!

Boy did I struggle this month though.  Almost bought eyeshadow about a thousand times (Unearthly and Bella Beaute Bar) - was calling me real bad, but somehow I managed to resist.  They had sales on, so would have saved a chunk, BUT you know what isn't a saving!?  Buying eyeshadow when you've been having to transfer money OUT of your savings every few days at the end of the month because you've run out of money for food!!!!!!!!!  I was pleased I managed to resist but oh man was the urge so strong, almost clicked pay so many times!
