Since I'm heading away for five months next weekend (eek) and will be budgeting my savings from now on with nay a prospect of further payment becuase of a lack of services rendered I've needed to cut back on product purchasing and spending. My current cutbacks are as follows, from head to toe:
Hair:
Volumising Trésemme Shampoo and conditioner have been decanted from bathroom staples into small 100ml bottles to get me through my first few days in Thailand. I've switched from my normal Aussie Curl Hair serum for Boots Expert Serum.
Face (cleaning):
Clinique mild cleansing gel/various neutrogena face washes and exfoliators and Garnier Toner have been replaced by the L'oreal Scrublet Face wash. I will still bring my Clinique Spot cream! My Moisteriser will stay the same, Oil of Olay, but I'm adding a factor 50 to the mix too. My current eye maker remover, johnson and johnson two phase is just running out so I got a tub of the Boots Fragrance free pads so that I won't need to be messing around with millions of cotton wool balls.
Body:
St. Ives exfoliator and any Shower gel will now be a mini Sanex that I picked up in Superdrug for a pound and exfoliating gloves that I got for a Euro in Fuerteventura at Christmas!
An now to the face, make up wise:
My usual face is: Clinique Even Better foundation, followed by any heavy duty concealor, loose powder and Benefit's Coralista. Then my eyes would usually be nude, followed by mid to dark brown shadow and a brown line and brown Mascara (or black for going out with a Mac Red lip). This shall be downsized to Natural Collection tinted Moisteriser (€2.99!!), my current concealor, and a Lancome travel kit I got as a present from my cousin which has eye shadows, lip glosses, concealor, pressed powder, mascara and blusher all in one. I may throw in some colours from my FrontCover set to go with the sun but in a nut shell this is me.
Plus the all important factors 50 and 30 for the 30 degree heat in Thailand :)

Can't wait to read all about this. I'm recently unemployed too and feel foreign shores calling!
