No buying toiletries in February challenge!

Oh yes, you don't want to look like you've been tangoed!

Right - you have greasy skin, so the first thing is - crazy as it sounds - you don't want to use anything too harsh on it as this will just encourage oil production. Be careful starting anything new between now and Tuesday - it may well encourage your skin to break out and, I'm sorry to say it, but you are not going to make a major different to the oiliness of your skin between now and then. Sorry! Honestly, the makeup artists will have seen FAR worse skin than yours many, many times before, so try not to worry about it and concentrate on enjoying the experience - it all sounds very exciting! :T

ps - my skin is combination - I have a greasy forehead and chin, with dry cheeks which is a pain. I cleanse using a wash-off cleanser as I find my skin only really feels clean with water. That means I don't use a separate toner as the water fills that role. I then use moisturiser. In the morning I use P&P serum as well. That's it. Don't be tricked by the manufacturers into thinking you need to invest in a host of different products - introduce things one at a time and see what you're happy with.

OK, so here is the bulk of my stash. There are lots of little things I haven't yet had the chance to post, but if I don't do it now, I never will. I can't believe how much cleanser and eye make-up remover I've got! :eek:

Wow, Pickle, that's some stash!
I think I will try to relist my stash on Wednesday, depending when I get home.
I have a cunning plan though, I have 2 mini Trevor sorbie straightening minis, shampoo and conditioner. I also have straight hair and no straighteners. I'm going to my sisters on Sunday and she and her SDD both use straighteners, so I can use them there and then leave them for her to use up and rid!
Is that allowed?

Oh yes! I gave away one tube of body lotion (the grapesickle one) as I really couldn't bear the smell, and someone else could use it. It stops waste and means that someone else doesn't have to buy that product, so I look on it as a win/win situation.
