Lavender Bounty

Hey everyone!

The Lavender fields of Provence have just finished a wonderful season. Capture the aromatic essence with L’Occitane’s Lavender Collection, and let the fresh scent transport you to the hills of the south of France.

Recently, I was sent the Lavender Eau de Cologne to try out and review! First off, this scent is amazing! I love how it balances out the lavender with citrus and woody undertones. It really does make this fragrance light and breezy perfect for year round wear! The staying power is around 4 to 5 hours, but it smells so good, I love to reapply it so that's not a problem!

Lavender Eau de Cologne ($52): Brightened by the radiant freshness of citrus fruits, this Cologne has a light, breezy scent, underlined by a woody, musky base with a captivating trail.

Lavender Foaming Bath ($34): This rich formula offers all the relaxing benefits of Haute-Provence Lavender. It generously foams in the bath, leaving skin supple, clean and fragrant.

Lavender Scented Candle ($25): The Lavender scented candle fills your home with a relaxing scent, creating a warm and inviting ambience.  

L’Occitane products may be purchased at usa.loccitane.com

Whitney

L'Occitane Immortelle Flower - Anti-Aging Skincare Divine Lotion

Hey everyone!

Since I am now aging into my 20's anti-aging skincare is starting to become more dominate in my routine. Recently, I was sent a sample of L'Occitane's new Divine Lotion from their Immortelle Collection. This lotion is packed full of anti-aging properties. I find that it absorbs quickly into my skin, without leaving behind a greasy residue. The scent is very light, and a little goes a long way to moisturize my skin. I haven't noticed a drastic change in my skin, but I hope that by using this product, I will keep it from aging quickly. My only compliant is that I wish the bottle came with a pump instead of a stopper.

Here is what L'Occitane has to say:

A super-charged toner that combines the unique anti-aging properties of everlasting immortelle flowers with the boosted effectiveness of 7 plant-derived ingredients. With its rich texture and subtle aromatic scent of fresh immortelle flowers, this softening lotion gives skin an immediate sensation of supreme comfort and leaves it feeling deliciously supple. Use before applying Divine Extract and Divine Cream. 

This product retails for $54.00, and can be purchased at usa.loccitane.com!

Whitney

L'Occitane Verbena Eau de Toilette

Hey everyone!

I love perfumes, in fact, I have a whole drawer full of new ones just waiting their turn to be used! Recently, I received a sample of L'Occitane's Verbena Eau de Toilette to try out and review. First off, let's just drool over the gorgeous packaging. This has to be one of the prettiest, yet simple perfume bottles I own. As far as the scent is concerned, I absolutely love it! It is fresh and flirty, yet perfect for all year wear. I know I'll still be using this in the winter months to come!

Here is what L'Occitane has to say:

A perennial favorite. Extroverted notes of Mediterranean verbena mingle with a rosy base of geranium and lemon tree. Elegantly presented in a glass spray bottled engraved with a verbena leaf. 

L'Occitane's advice:

Verbena is cherished for soothing properties, and yet exudes a zesty citrus scent. Its paradoxical nature makes it wonderful as a fragrance, and well-suited to skin and hair care uses.

Fragrance notes:

Top Note: Lemon, Orange
 
Middle Note: Verbena, Petit Grain
 
Base Note: Rose, Geranium 

This product retails for $52.00, and can be purchased at usa.loccitane.com!
