L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil and Milk Veil*
Summer is slowly rearing its beautiful head and I'm sure all you guys and gals are getting ready to enjoy the great weather. I've been paying more attention to my skin lately and have been making an effort to moisturise everyday. Dry skin is a big no no for the summer!

I've been testing out this duo for the past week and all I can say is that it's love. I can't stop stroking my arms because they're so soft (obviously in a non creepy way!). The shower oil turns into a milky consistency when it comes in contact with water and really softens the skin. You can also use this for prepping your legs before shaving as well. Works great that way! I'm not the biggest fan of almond scented products as it reminds me of marzipan but the oil doesn't have a strong scent of it and is quite subtle.

The milk veil is what makes the duo set complete. It's a light lotion and when applied, it has these micro pearls which makes the skin look shimmery. Not too shimmery to the point where you look like an extra in Twilight but enough to give you a glow. It applies really well and the pump application gets bonus points from me. I use this after I come out the shower and doesn't leave a sticky feeling afterwards.

When used together, it's a powerhouse of beautiful scents and soft skin. L'Occitane always has an amazing selection of products and this is fast becoming my favourite combination.

Are there any L'Occitane products you recommend for me to try out?

  1. I haven't tried these but I really really want to. Especially the shower oil.

    I quite like their hand cream too.

    1. The shower oil is lovely! For me, it's a little fiddly to use but it leaves my skin so soft :)

  2. I got these when I was in Paris back in Jan, I find it's a nice product but I don't think it's worth the hype it gets. But it's an easy way to keep moisturised =) xo

    1. It kind of pushes me to remember to moisturise. Like I remember to use the shower oil which means I need to complete the routine with the moisturiser :)
