Anyone remember Cremolia hand cream? sort of a translucent grey gloop that went into grubby looking rolls if you tried to massage it into your hands......like glue! It came in a screw top glass jar like goosefat.

I used Coty l'aimant perfume- and I think they still make it.

 

They do. I saw some in Boots recently.

Nivea cream

Yardleys lipstick

Rest cover girl

There used to be a shampoo in one bottle, but divided in yellow and blue parts, but i can't remember the name. Otherwise, used my mum's cosmetics so as she didn't notice. In the beginning i used soot mixed with nivea for mascara till i had money to buy some. Norman hartnell perfume, but that was a present.
