It seems like an awful lot of stuff. I'd take some mufti-taskers. I WOULD stock up on some great French product while over there, including Serge Lutens perfume and LaRoche Posay skin care.

Except for the Clarisonic of course. I don't think they're available here, but if and when they are they will be more expensive.<br /><br />Regarding the Filorga "Sleep and Peel" cream: I bought a jar because my dermatologist said she thought it was an excellent product and her ab-so-lute-ly gorgeous assistant who is in her late 40s uses it every day. However, my dermatologist, when asked, for the perfect creams, always mentions Eucerin in first place.<br /><br />I am more than happy with the Eucerin; it's considerably less expensive. I don't plan to re-buy the Filorga. The Eucerin with my Retin-A is the magic formula.Tish Jetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865177127050648489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-62720766702339623562012-03-09T18:47:48.787+01:002012-03-09T18:47:48.787+01:00As always interesting.

Recently I decided I had to have one. I looked around for a new one but found very few options, none I could afford. So I turned to Ebay, and got a dark green croco-patterned leather one for $25! Tres chic IMO.

I've been using it for more than 20 years and truly, it's brilliant.<br /><br />Some women can't tolerate it even at lower doses, but I've never had a problem with my 0.05. I use it every night.<br /><br />Good luck. I think you'll be very pleased.
