Crowes Cremine, a cold cream much used for removing theatrical make up. The product has been around for aeons, I have been using it for over 40 years and discovered it and used to buy it in Boots and at other chemist, but gradually it disappeared from High Street chemists. Now I can only get it online.

It comes in great big 200ml tubs that last for ages and each tub costs less than £10.

I found Colorsport lipstain. In Rose. It's only taken me 30yrs of looking.
When I moved house all those years ago I left the chemist behind where I could buy it. Even then it wasn't around much.

"Color-S Lipstains Gold. The Original 12 hour Lip stain. Longer-lasting than lipsticks and can maintain lip colour for up 12 hours.Developed by a chemist during the Second World War, Lipstains Gold have passed the test of time. "

My latest lovely find whilst waiting in my small independent chemist is ‘Anne French’ cleansing milk. Same iconic blue & white triangular shaped bottle. It’s so light, non greasy, (I’d forgotten how great it is!) it smells heavenly and after cleansing with it using cotton pads, I don’t use toner afterwards as the light milk is a semi moisturiser, ideal when going to bed after make up removal. My skin is looking marvellous & best of all it only costs around £3! I would thoroughly (re)recommend this old favourite product to fellow GN’s! Has anyone else found similar ‘old loves’ that we may have forgotten about?
