Savon de Marseille is great I stockpile it and get my French family to bring it when they visit 😍

I like the lip balm in the pot and the dry oil. The moisturisers are good as well.

I've just come back from france and have about 3 years worth of soaps, oils and lotions

I buy Nuxe L'huile prodigeuse d'or (the small 50ml gold oil) as gifts for my friends. All you need for summer makeup. They've just launched a pink version.

I love Embryolisse .... the eye stick is amazingly refreshing.

The 'brume' water spray sold in supermarkets is wonderfully. From cheap Lidl, to Evian and Avene. I keep bottles in every room.

Oh and Le Petit Marsellais products are cheap and very nice. They do a 'kitchen' liquid soap which really gets cooking smells off.

For something fancier, Fragonard perfumes are lovely and very reasonably priced, if you're in Paris. I go to the rue Boudreau store.
