I have combination skin with oily t zone and have used this for years. It has a very light gel like consistency. I do though use it in conjunction with the Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser which does as it says on the tin and keeps the oil at bay during the day. HTH. What is the deal?

Thanks Valm. I actually called it a good deal but not sure if it is really a good one as I'm not entirely knowledgeable of their product prices.

Below set of 4 is for £65 and I use/need to replace all soon anyway

Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 20g & Cloth
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 30ml
Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment 15ml
Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Mask (1 pair)

I know that 30ml of PCMC is £48. I've not used the SPF version though.

Another UU : Dove Purely Pampering shower gel. Dove still dries my skin out. Used the last of this to wash my makeup brushes. Have replaced with Soap and Glory Whipped Clean.

Wow, that's the exact type my dad used to use!

Thank you - i'm trying to cut my plastic usage, never thought about razors.

I need help with Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - do you think/know if it is suitable for combination skin? I will run out of day cream soon and Elemis has a good deal on Pro-Collagen set. As I haven't found my HG product yet, I'm thinking about trying Elemis.

I have combination skin and love this, but whenever I have some I use it as night cream as my day cream needs an SPF, I will try the SPF30 one once all my other creams are UU'd.

Is that on their site? They have a game you can play on there for freebies and discounts, it comes up at the scrolling ad thing at the top, I have got as far as £20 off £80 but they also have free gifts on there as well.

Not just me then!

I have had a good clear-out and this is my update:-

UU
Lancôme Bi-Facil Eye Cleanser 125ml HG
Primark Micellar Cleansing Wipes x 25 HG for make-up mistakes
L'Oreal True Match Powder HG
L'Occitane Bromelia Shampoo 300ml OK but nothing special
L'Occitane Citrus Verbena Shower Gel 500ml WNBA, not as moisturising as others
Oral B Toothpaste 75ml - Deep Clean - HG range
Lancôme Eau Micellaire Douceur cleansing water 400ml - HG
Yes To… Tomatoes Clear Skin Nose Kit 8ml - WMBA, did a better job than my normal pore strips if a bit of a fiddly 'part one' of two!

GA
Lancôme Eye Shadow Palette - Fresh Rose - This has never suited me, I got it as part of a Xmas gift set a couple of years ago.
Avon mark. Extralasting Inks Eternal Emerald, Bronze Gold, Enduring Iris, Raw Gold, Rose Gold - all the same sort of thing, didn't live up to the hype, tried applying so many ways and always looked awful or too pale to be noticed so I gave up!
Pixi Lift Max Sheen in Honey 1g - unopened part of gift set
The Body Shop All-In-One BB Cream - Light - Too dark, which is weird!
The Body Shop All-In-One Cheek Colour - 07 Amber - Bought for pennies in the sale for fun, not dark enough
The Body Shop Fresh Sorbet Blush - 010 Florida Sunstar, 020 Lychee Blossom, 025 Cuban Water Melon, 030 Tuscan Grape - again, bought for pennies for a fun way to try more blusher, these don't sit well on my skin, back to powder I think!
The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Velvet Stick - 10 Poppy Nude & Poppy Red - far too matte!

TA
Avon Glimmerstick eyeliner - Jade Metallic, Crackling Cobalt, Teal Waters, Ultra Violet - I've had these for a few years, they're all about half UU but not something I wear anymore and probably quite out of date now!
L'Occitane Delightful Rose Lip Balm 12ml - Half UU, had probably been open too long and started to feel and taste a bit 'off'

One UU this evening:

Skinfood Beauty in a Food Sheet Mask WMBA. This was nice and hydrating. A lovely watermelon scent

Thanks VALM and kadison. I've received it via email and i wasn't aware of the feature you mentioned kadison, I will have a look.

https://www.elemis.com/new/specialoffers it is also listed here.

1 UU - Botanics Radiant Youth Serum 30ml . I'm pretty sure I bought this after Caroline Hirons praised it. Very good value for money. I mainly used it on my chest to UU it and WBA. Although it shows as out of stock on Boots website, may be they discontinued?

An unexpected UU tonight:

Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA. My go to floss. I'm trying a different one at the moment but I'll go back to this.

LLM2018

1 UU this morning

Nair hair removal cream for legs. WNBA It was ok, difficult to get an even consistancy and left patchy in areas so had to use my razor. Also the smell is awful and strong. I will stick to the razor method for now. Tried it as I thought it would be quicker. Prefer the veet version to this anyway.

11 UU so far x

VALM

Another UU: 15ml Elemis PCMC. Have more in stash. Have only tubes of this left now which I decant into the pot.

Another UU from my PP here, Lancome hydra zen moisturiser 15ml not sure if I would deliberately go out and buy this, it was a gwp. I found it to be very basic for the price, it was hard to rub in leaving a slightly white cast on the face, was ok under makeup but I probably wouldnt wear it on its own.
