What delights shall I bring back from France?

In France, camping, it's raining. I'm going to cheer myself up with some beauty treats fro the pharmacy.

What delights would you bring back? Even the small pharmacies have La Roche Posau, Vichy, Nuxe, Bioderma etc.

I've just bought a some la roche Posay skincare (I'm quite oily but sensitive) which was cheaper than in the UK (e.g. my moisturizer is 9 pounds in UK, and here was 9 euros) and some avene sunscreen (spf 30 cleanance for oily face) because it was 20% off in Carrefour.

But both of these are products I buy anyway in the UK, just trying to get it a bit cheaper! Not sure what to recommend for you

More supermarket than pharmacy but I LOVE La Petit Marseillaise shower and bath products. Very reasonably priced

Confiture des Figues Violettes

Oh dear, sorry.

Haven't had lunch, as an excuse.

Will look for that brand curragh

Cattier pink clay mask, La Roche Posay Hydraphase mask and something lovely from Sanoflore (Aciana Botanica cleanser is my favourite, the body oil is also delicious). Ooh and Roger & Gallet hand cream/shower gel/moisturiser - I love the Fleur de Figuier & Bienfaits fragrances.

Oh yes, I forgot about me petit marseillais. I love their shampoo and conditioner and stock up whenever we go to France

I stocked up on retinol - much (much) cheaper than the private prescription needed at home. Not very glamorous though!

You can get a really nice 'trousse' or pack of travel sizes from Nuxe or Caudalie in a pharmacy, I get one every time I go to France, they're about EUR12.

Evian brumisateur spray is very cheap, you can get it in supermarkets.
