L'Occitane Melting Honey Collection

L’Occitane’s new Melting Honey collection has to be one of my all time favourite L’Occitane ranges.

For this collection L’Occitane have combined the fabulous benefits of shea butter from Burkina Faso with the soothing and protective properties of honey from Provence.

While I deteste the taste of honey I adore its scent and this range did not disappoint.

The guys at L’Occitane chose to blend their iconic shea butter with an organic, rare lavender honey from the Provence region of France. The bees spend their summer in aromatic lavender fields which create a beautiful and exceptionally special honey.

This honey combined with the soft, nourishing  properties of their shea butter creates a stunning, warming, treat for your body and senses.

My hero products from the range include the Ultra Soft Cream (£18) which contains 10% shea butter and leaves your skin feeling silky soft and smooth. The non-greasy, rich Hand Cream (£8) contains a whopping 25% shea butter and is a handbag staple while the Lip Balm (£8.50) melts onto your lips leaving a gorgeous sheen and smells delectable!

 

Also available is the Soft Shower Gel (£14) and Exfoliating Sugars (£22)  which do a fabulous job of buffing and cleansing your skin to silky smooth perfection while leaving behind a delicate and delicious hint of honey scent.

The final product in the range is the Solidarity Soap (£3) which is a little bit special. 

October 8^th is World Sight Day and every year L’Occitane sells a fund-raising ”solidarity soap” with the support of the L’Occitane Foundation,to finance NGO programmes aimed at fighting visual impairment in Burkina Faso, where their fair trade shea butter is produced.

100% of the profits from the sale of each soap will enable a person from the rural area of Burkina to have access to glasses and eye care.

Talk about beauty with a conscience.

The L’Occitane Melting Honey collection is available 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.

(And here's a little pic of me spreading the word about the Enchanting Cherry Princess Collection ahead of Mother's Day!)

L'Occitane Limited Edition Shea Butter Collection & Giveaway

L’Occitane  are one of my favourite brands. I know they’re slightly pricier than a lot of other brands out there, but you definitely see the quality in their products and you absolutely get what you pay for.

For a limited period L’Occitane has decorated its Shea Butter range with colourful and graphic patterns which have been inspired by the bogolan cloth, a traditional fabric from West Africa.

The three Limited edition ranges have drawn inspiration from three native flowers with delicate and natural scents and come in my three of my favourite items, their Ultra Rich Body Cream, Shea Hand Cream and Lip Balm.

The Cocoa flower which has a gorgeous, rich, sweet and milky scent with a hint of cacao.

Egyptian Hibiscus with its slightly floral, warm and sensual aroma which awakens the senses.

Desert Rose from Morocco which has a gorgeous, floral and unmistakeably delicate hint of rose scent. 

Limited Edition Cocoa Flower Body Cream

The body butter is luxuriously rich, calm and soothing on the skin- idea for dry skinned people like me! It soaks In leaving your skin lovely and soft.

Limited Edition Hibiscus Flower Body Cream

 

I don’t have a bad word to say about the hand cream and I am never without mine! Moisturising, non greasy and long lasting, it is one of my absolute staple products.

Limited Edition Hand Creams in Coco, Hibiscus and Desert Rose

The lip balm is a little odd. Despite being in a tube, I expected it to be a semi solid balm a little like Carmex I suppose. The balm is more the consistency of a gloss but without the heavy, sticky feeling. It is a clear, runny liquid which actually feels lovely on your lips and gives them a pretty shine. 

Limited Edition Lip Balm in Cocoa & Hibiscus

The collection is available from October 6th , the Body Cream retails at £16, the Hand Cream  at £7.50 and the Lip Balm at £8.

Alternatively you can enter my competition to win the Hibiscus Flower collection, which includes the Body Cream, Hand Cream and the Lip Balm.
