L'Occitane Shea Winter Walk Collection

 L’Occitane’s iconic Shea collection has undergone an exquisite festive transformation this year.

Say hello to the sumptuous limited edition Shea Winter Walk Collection.

 

Presented beautifully in an elegant signature L’Occitane gift box you’ll find four hero products to pamper and delight this Christmas.

This gorgeous gift brings a comforting warmth along with a delicately scented-touch to the heart of winter.

 

Infused with delicate notes of fresh, aromatic fig, sparkling mandarin accents and comforting, woody sandalwood plus musks, it is one of those limited edition lines that you so wish would become a full time staple.

Expertly curated to delight, comfort and hydrate your body while calming your mind, the set comprises of the following;

 

Shea Winter Walk Soap

This delicate yet decadent soap has been enriched with skin loving shea butter to offer a gentle yet effective cleanse without drying your skin.

 

Free from palm oil, the soap lathers into a host of plentiful soft bubbles that effortlessly cleanse your skin, leaving behind an invisible veil of understated yet refreshing fruity green scent.

Shea Winter Walk Shower Cream

This sumptuous shower cream contains both shea extract AND butter to deeply condition and nourish your skin while offering a gentle cleanse.

 

Rich and thick in texture it comforts your body, protecting your skins natural balance while enveloping your senses in its chic, sophisticated notes.

Shea Winter Walk Ultra Light Body Cream

This luxurious, lightweight body cream is one of my favourite items from the entire collection.

 

Whipped into a mousse-like texture and formulated with 5% shea butter, this airy cream gently melts onto your skin, quenching dry skin without leaving it feeling claggy or sticky.

Quickly absorbed, it instantly nourishes dry skin to leave your skin feeling soft and comfortable

Shea Winter Walk Light Hand Cream

No L’Occitane gift set would be complete with their jewel in the crown, which of course is their hand cream.

 

Featuring a similar lightweight, whipped texture to the body cream, this surprisingly rich hand cream effortlessly banishes dry skin and cuticles without leaving your hands feeling greasy or oily.

It soothes dry cracked skin and offers long lasting protecting against the elements to keep your hands feeling wonderfully soft.

 

This elegant gift set is available to purchase now and costs £50 which is a bargain considering the total value of the products if you were to purchase them separately comes to £65.

The L’Occitane Shea Winter Walk Collection is available now and costs £50.

L'Occitane Delightful Rose Shea Hugs and Kisses Gift Set

I don’t particularly buy into the whole ‘Valentine’s Day’, because frankly I think that you should show your love for someone every day of the year, not just on Feb 14^th.

That said I’m also not a total scrooge when it comes to the day and like most people, am always happy to receive a small token of love from my Mr.

Chocolate is lovely and flowers are great but sometimes it’s nice to receive something a little different so this V-Day why not point your other half in the direction of L’Occitane.

This year they have created two beautifully presented little gift sets featuring two of their best selling products. Two products that as it goes, you’ll never find me leaving the house without; lip balm and hand cream.

Available in either Delightful Rose Shea Hugs and Kisses (pictured) or Shea Butter Hugs and Kisses for £16 you’ll find their award winning Shea Butter hand cream and Natural Shea ultra rich lip balm.

These lovelies are the perfect size to pop in your hand bag and will ensure that your hands stay soft to hold and lips are kissably smooth not just on Valentines day but all year long.

L’Occitane’s Shea Butter and Delightful Rose Shea Hugs and Kisses sets are available now and cost £16 each.

L’Occitane Shea Butter Limited Edition Whipped Collection

I’ve always been a HUGE fan of L’Occitane’s super popular Shea Butter products thanks to their super hydrating and nourishing properties and this year L’Occitane celebrates 25 years of using fair trade shea butter from women’s co-operative in  Burkina Faso.

It seems fitting that to honour and celebrate this occasion that they have created a limited edition pampering bodycare line.

Say hello to the Whipped Shea Butter range.

Inspired by traditional methods of production in Burka Faso which would see the women whip the shea butter paste into a mousse like texture, L’Occitane have created their own whipped collection.

As light as air, the range still retains all the high concentration of shea butter, with their hand cream (£8) featuring 25% and their body butter (£18) 10%.

I adore the texture of this whipped butter. It looks like frothy, gooey marshmallows and is silky and light to touch.

The body butter gently melts from the light mousse into a super hydrating cream which leaves your skin feeling soft and pampered.

The hand cream is just as fabulous as their original range but features a star shaped nozzle so when the cream is dispensed, it comes out looking like decadent Chantilly cream!

Im gutted this is only a limited edition range as i think its absolutely gorgeous!

L’Occitane’s shea butter limited edition whipped collection will be available in boutiques later this month.

L'Occitane Hugs & Kisses Gift Sets

It’s not often that I write posts about Christmas Gifts or gift ideas, but I was so taken by this one that I had to share.

 The Hugs & Kisses  gift set from L’Occitane are one of the most gorgeous, practical  and affordable luxury gift sets I think you’ll find. 

 Available in 4 different fragrances, Jasmine, Violet, Rose & Shea Butter, they comprise of a 30ml hand cream and an organic lip balm.

 

 For anyone that has ever come across L’Occitane, you’ll know that their hand creams are to die for!

 They’re thick, super nourishing and not at all greasy. Did I mention that contain 20% shea butter and are award winning too?

L'Occitane Jasmine Hand Cream

Their lip balms are gorgeous as well! Containing 10% organic certified shea butter, they melt onto your lips from a semi solid state, into a divine, glossy balm that keeps your lips feeling soft and nourished throughout the day.

L'Occitane Jasmine Hand Cream

My favourite fragrance in these gift sets is the Jasmine.

 

L'Occitane Jasmine Lip Balm

It is light but sweet and delicately floral, a fragrance I love being able to smell when it’s on my lips!

For £16 I think this is a perfect little gift set for someone special. 

L'Occitane Jasmine Lip Balm

 It won’t break the bank but it contains two must have hero products to help you through the cold winter months. Trouble is, I love it so much, I’m not sure I could bring myself to give it to anyone else for Crimbo!

All 4 variants of the Hugs & Kisses gift set range are available now from the L’Occitane website.
