No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2025

Probably the final UUs for September
25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum - Paula's Choice - a really nice Vitamin C serum to use but too expensive wnbaSuperdose Vitamin C Bio-Vitamin Brightening & Firming Body Lotion - Beauty Pie - loved the smell and texture of this. A good selling point for this is that the pump gets virtually all the lotion out. There was about 1 tsp left in the bottle when the pump would pump no more. Impressed! wbaNordic Hydra Oat Milk Oil Cleanser - Lumene - nice cleanser but I prefer a creamier texture, it was very runny wnbaPeptide K8 Power Cream - Kate Somerville - lovely to use and I think it made a difference but not enough to justify the price tag wnbaUse it up, wear it out, make it do or do without1 -
Last UUs for the month:
- 3 x M&S Discover Women's Fragrance Discovery Set little sample tubes- Fresh Mandarin, Warm Neroli, and Midnight Blossom: all nice, but wouldn't purchase full size.
INS
Really weird INS, not sure what happened, I was possessed by a ghost or something - I just googled spooky makeup, found these, clicked pay, and paid..... like I was in a trance!! At least they are v pretty and also inexpensive, because there was no real thought process going on other than 'ooh, pretty'!- Spooky Glow-Holographic Highlighter : Highlighter with pink-blue shimmer. In a spooky compact with a spider n web embossing which is very fun! Couldn't resist, and I bought one for a friend who had been eying Fenty Diamond Bomb, so will surprise her with this- a lil bit of sparkle without the pricetag!
- Profusion- Rituals Candlelight Frosted Highlighter in Full moon: Highlighter with pink shimmer. Very pretty, I just used it on my eyes to zhush up a basic look and it's lovely- very happy with this for ONE POUND!
Month Tallies- INS: 11 (£111.89)- aside from the two highlighters, everything else was replacements.
- OUT: 16 (15 UU, 1 x throw away)
- Difference: 5 items out of the collection!
