No specific product recommendations, but I'd recommend Caroline Hirons' blog and youtube channel as a source of reviews and inspiration. There is also a resource on the blog which lists the various (chemical) names that things can be listed as, which can be useful. This was very helpful as I dipped my toe into the acid toners waters for the first time

There is a search bar on the right hand side of the page, but you'll have to scroll down to find it.

Many thanks for the suggestion, I will have a look at it

Another vote for CH's blog, the search facility is great I find.

I am of pension and bus pass age, and have been quite poorly for a lot of the the year, but I can truthfully say that my skin does not show this, thanks to double cleansing, acid toning, hydrating toning, etc. etc... I also have some problems with allergies/highly sensitive skin, but after following CH's advice and comments from her readers with similar problems, I now have an arsenal of products to fall back on which soothe and heal quickly:D

There is a different form of retinonal for acne available on prescription. These have different strengths compared to the one used for wrinkles. Speak to your gp or dermatologist as the better products could be more suitable

UU's
Lush sunny side bubble bar. WMBA only ever use this with big blue, full of glitter so takes ages to clean the bath after.

Big blue bath ballistic WBA I do like it, full of seaweed so only use this when I am prepared to clean the bath or actually put the bath bomb in old tights so I don't get the mess anywhere.

Lush deep sleep shower jelly WBA love the scent, pure lavender scent. Have another in stock.

Dolly's mixture shower gel in piña colada WNBA bought when they were really cheap, this was either 25 or 50p. Used mostly to clean the bathroom or to hand wash with.

UU LUSH Father Christmas bath bomb. It was ok, I much prefer bubble bars

I'm in the process of writing my big stash list. Not all of my cosmetics will go on it as I tend to only own make up I use. But I've noticed my perfume, shower gel and bubble bar stash are RATHER excessive of late so I will be addressing these for project pan.

I have some UUs from last week and some INs but I'll just be adding ins to my list as I haven't got them to hand right now

UUs
Lush Candy mountain bubble bar WMBA depends on my midi for sweet things
lush Rose queen bomb HG but disconned now, have 3 more in stash
Lush yoga bomb bath bomb WBA I loved this one!
Lush Golden wonder bath bomb WBA this one was from 2013!! :eek:
Lush sex in he shower emotibomb WBA but long ago disconned. I hoarded this for ages but used it before I went out to celebrate my 30th.
Lush Rock star soap GA as I have too many soaps to get through I'll buy this again when I need more soap.

I've also used half a rose bubble bar, other half is sat by the bath alongside two other PP bubble bars :j

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, ladies! I have a lovely time.

There were no INs (thank heavens, as I have enough to getting on with).

I just refilled my shower gel pump with Imperial Leather Limited Edition Spellbinding Shower Crème in Night Blooming Jamsine and Cotton Milk. (Is it me or is that name likely to last longer then the product?!)

I'll let you know how it goes! x

9. Anna Sui Sui Dream shower gel.
10. Ghost Eclipse 5ml sample

11&12 Sanctuary Spa brightening facial illuminating moisture lotion 15ml
TA - oily product that made me look shiny rather than bright :eek: I have combination skin, and even with selective application this did not work for me at all.

13 ange ou demon sample
not my cup of tea, WNBA

Just caught up on the thread - belated birthday wishes Pickle!

Another UU:

6/154. Soap & Glory Righteous Butter 200ml - final one of my sales bargain haul! WBA, I quite like the scent, it's very rich but absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling soft but not sticky. I have plenty of other lotions so no need to replace for a while - not planning to stock up again until the sales. Replaced with a Nivea lotion bought on glitch.
