Quite possibly my favorite brand for Body & Bath, L'Occitane is one of those product lines that you always hear about, aren't quite sure about--but always wanted to try. With a cult following that "begins in 1976, in the hills of Haute-Provence… a region of southern France that lies between the Alps and the Mediterranean," L'Occitane uses traditional Provencal techniques to create natural beauty products like body lotions, soaps, fragrance, skin care and best-selling Shea Butters. If you've ever had the pleasure of stepping foot inside one of their gorgeous
retail locations, you've surely noticed the impeccable take on French country design with abundant natural woods and calming hues. If you're unfamilar with the brand, I highly suggest picking up the
Limited Edition Provencal Sample Set. For just $3, you'll get the following:
•Shea Butter Hand Cream Sample
•Ultra Rich Body Cream Sample
•Ultra Rich Face Cream Sample
•Immortelle Precious Fluid Sample
•Immortelle Precious Cream Sample
•Immortelle Eye Balm Sample
•Mini Honey Lemon Hexagonal Soap
•Mini Lavender Soap With Seeds
•Cade After Shave Balm Sample
•Aromachologie Repairing Shampoo Sample
•Aromachologie Repairing Conditioner Sample
•Jasmine Eau de Parfum Sample
•Honey & Lemon Delighful Cream Sample
•Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate Sample
•Almond Milk Concentrate Sample
Worth every penny!
I never pass at the chance to sing L'Occitane's praises, so when I came across a super-cute gift set at beautysak.com, I couldn't wait to tell you all about it. The Try Me Shea Kit ensconces best-selling products like the shea butter shower cream (1.1 oz.), shea butter body lotion (1.1 oz.), shea butter shampoo (1.1 oz.), shea butter conditioner (1.1 oz.), milk shea butter face soap (1.7 oz.), and shea hand cream (0.5 oz.) within the cutest little travel pouch. I don't now about you, but I'm a sucker for makeup bags of all shapes, colors and sizes, and really do think they make great gifts. Plus, I think this set would totally please a plethora of mommy-types--from the crunchiest granolas to the biggest brand name whores.
