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 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 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.
