The Best of L’Occitane Collection

Calling all L’Occitane fans, allow me to introduce you to the crème de la crème of their Christmas gift sets.

Weather you fancy treating yourself or a loved one, the Best Of L’Occitane Collection will not just benefit you or your recipient.

Featuring a selection of L’Occitane’s best selling products this generous gift box is donating £10 for every sale to the charity Sighsavers.

Sightsavers is a wonderful charity that works with some of the poorest, most rural communities in India to improve lives by offering and strengthening eye health care.

What a fabulous charity and what a generous gift from L’Occitane.

So, by giving this gift you’ll not only be putting a smile on the face of your loved one, you’ll actively be helping others to be able to see the smiles of their own family members too. 

This fabulous collection contains:

Shea Butter Hand Cream 75ml

Undoubtedly one of the brands most iconic and most loved products, this cream is enriched with a whopping 20% of shea butter along with a blend of nourishing almond, honey and coconut oil.

Never oily or greasy, this beautifully scented cream with notes of jasmine and ylang-ylang smells like heaven and leaves your hands feeling baby soft and smooth.

Shea Butter Foot Cream 30ml

Feet are so often neglected when it comes to maintaining a beauty regime, but this no longer needs to be the case with this wonderfully rich cream.

Containing 15% shea butter, lavender oil, arnica extract and an antiseptic this cream works to reduce redness and irritation while soothing and relieving tired, sore tootsies.

Almond Shower Oil 250ml

This shower oil is my all time favourite L’Occitane product!

When it comes into contact with water the rich aromatic oil transforms into a milky, softening cleanser.

Enriched with almond oil it smells like heaven and it is so gentle that it’s even suitable for my super sensitive skin.

Lavender Foaming Bath 100ml

Ultimately, what I want from a bath (apart from getting clean!) is a relaxing experience and they don’t come much more relaxing than this bad boy.

This beautifully rich foam possesses a wonderful, delicate lavender fragrance to gently cleanse your skin while encouraging your mind to switch off and your body to relax.

Terre de Lumiere EDP 5ml

This decadent scent is L’Occitanes first gourmand fragrance and boy is it a good one!

Fresh and yet warm, I adore the sweet edible notes which leave the fragrance reminding me of  the aroma you might be confronted with upon entering a luxury patisserie.

Top notes of amber and pink pepper offer a freshness before mid notes of honey and lavender offer a deeper, sweeter, richer experience.

The fragrance closes with base notes of acaia and sumptuous tonka bean, creating a delicate and addictive warmth.

Almond Milk Concentrate 100ml

If like me you love the Almond Shower Oil then you’re going to love the milk concentrate too.

It possesses the same addictive scent of sweet almonds and works to firm and soften your skin.

This best selling concentrate contains walnut seed and almond extract to help to protect your skins elasticity while stimulating cell renewal, improving the appearance of your skin.

It is a beautiful collection which would be both the perfect gift to introduction someone to the brand as well as being an awesome gift for long time fans.

Priced at £69 and containing over £80 worth of products its brilliant value for money and you can enjoy the satisfying feeling of knowing that by purchasing it you are helping someone else to see.

The Best of L’Occitane Collection is available now instore and online.

The Pamplemousse Rhubarbe Collection from L'Occitane

Ok so I’m basically in love with the new Pamplemousse Rhubarbe collection from  L’Occitane.

For those of you who don’t speak French, Pamplemousse means Grapefruit and Rhubarbe means, well Rhubarb, but you could probably have worked that out!

Its actually one of two new ranges created by L’Occitane founder Oliver Baussan and French pâtissier Pierre Hermé  who is renowned for his inventive flavour combinations.   

The two have come together to create the new limited edition fragrances which feature original and unique combinations that evoke memories of the lands of the Mediterranean and Corsica.

Now I’d never have imagined that grapefruit and rhubarb would work together so well but this collection smells uh-mazing!

There’s an Eau de Toilette (£46), Shower Gel (£14), Body Lotion (£20) and a Tantalising Collection Gift set (£55) which also includes a body milk and scented soap.

I’ve been wearing the eau de toilette for several weeks and have been complimented numerous times on it thanks to its sweet and zesty yet creamy and fresh scent.

Grapefruit is at the heart of this creation and its slightly bitter scent is offset by the green and crisp aromas of rhubarb while spices and woody notes of cedar round the fragrance off perfectly.

I really, REALLY like it.

Similarly the shower gel and body lotion both possess the same addictive and unique scent and together leave you smelling sweet and fresh for hours.

It’s a really lovely step away from more traditional scents that are released around Christmas time and I really hope its here to stay!

You can grab all the items from the Pamplemouuse Rhubarbe collection from the L’Occitane website now.

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Collection

 

Have you seen L’Occitane's gorgeous Cherry Blossom collection?

Delicate Cherry Blossom isn’t just a beautiful name for this new range but it also seems to describe the fragrance, if that’s at all possible!

While i love L’Occitane i can find that some of the ranges are a little too floral for my tastes. While some people may love this, im more of a sweet smelling girl myself.

Bath & Shower Gel £13 & Soap £3.50

 Delicate Cherry Blossom on the other hand, is the perfect blend of floral and sweet, with juicy scents of cherries but with a delicate floral undertone.

Yummy!

Hand Cream £13.50 and Shimmering Lotion £18

Perfect for mother’s day ( It’s this Sunday guys!)  Delicate Cherry Blossom is available in a generous gift box (£39) which any mum would be delighted to receive.

Petal Soft Body Cream £25

My favourite products from the range include the Petal Soft Body Cream (£25) which is deliciously rich yet soaks into your skin leaving it soft, smooth and moisturised.

Eau de Toilette, 50ml £29, 100ml £36

 I was pleasantly surprised by the eau de toilette (100ml £36)

9) which was delicately floral yet sumptuously sweet and i loved the solid perfume (£7.50) which allowed me top up the pretty scent throughout the day.

Solid Perfume £7.50

I also loved the Shimmering Body Lotion (£18) which left my skin silky soft, and due to the ever-so-slightly pearlescent shimmer within the lotion, left my skin glowing. 

The subtle pearly-glow created by the Shimmering Lotion, £18

 

The Delicate Cherry Blossom collection is available to buy now from L’Occitane.
