L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil: Review, Photos & Swatch

Hey lovelies :)
Today's review is going to be all about a product that I have been loving a lot lately. This is the L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil which is my absolute favorite product to use in the shower. Keep reading if you want to know what I think about this product :)

♥ L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil. 

The Almond Shower Oil is a shower oil that transforms into a lavish, softening foam that gently cleanses your skin leaving it with a satiny softness. I absolutely love how soft, moisturized and pampered my skin feels after using this product and it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy at all which is a huge plus.

The Almond Shower Oil is also a wonderful product to use for shaving your legs. The razor glides so smoothly over my skin, leaving it indescribably soft afterwards. I didn't experience any irritation at all which is really good. The Almond Shower Oil is suitable for both men and women.

♥ L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil.  

The smell is one off the things that I love and adore about this product. It has a divine flowery almond scent that is soft, subtle and feminine and it lasts on my skin for hours after I have stepped out off the shower. It’s no wonder that this product is one of L’Occitane’s bestsellers.

If you have dry skin like me, this will help keep it soft, moisturized and hydrated. The packaging allows you to control the amount of product you want to use, that way you wont waste any off your precious product. 

♥ L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil. 

The Almond Shower Oil comes in three different sizes. 2.5 fl.oz ($8), 8.4 fl.oz ($24), and 16.9 fl.oz ($48). I have the 2.5 fl.oz which is their travel sized one. If you want to try out this product but you don't want to spend too much money on it before you know if you like it or not, I highly recommend that you pick up the travel size. You get 35ml off product which is quite a lot off product. I have used mine several times and I still have a lot off product left in my bottle. The great thing about this shower oil is that you don't need to use very much as it foams and lathers beautifully. This is a product that is going to last you a long time and its definitely worth the money :)

I'm so in love with this product and I hope L'Occitane never stops making it. I would love it would if they made a body spray or perfume with the exact same smell as this shower oil, I would totally buy that :)

Sigma Beauty Cleansing & Polishing Tool: Review & Photos

Hey Sweeties, how are you guys doing today? :) 

The Cleansing & Polishing Tool is from Sigma Beauty's Think Pink Collection. It comes with three brush heads, carefully designed to exfoliate and polish your skin to be perfectly smooth and flawless before and after your makeup application!

I like how easy it is to use. You just add a small amount of your favorite facial cleanser directly on to the brush head and then apply it to your face. Click the little pink button in the center once and you get regular speed. If you click it again, you get high speed. The brush head rotates, massaging the product into your skin, exfoliating dead skin cells and exposing fresh healthy skin. Remember to keep your entire exfoliation process under one minute. Once your finished, apply your favorite moisturizer. 

♥ The soft brush head is recommended for daily facial exfoliation for normal skin and occasional exfoliation for sensitive skin.

 ♥ The medium brush head is recommended for daily overall body exfoliation and occasional facial exfoliation for normal skin.

♥ The firm brush head is recommended for deeper body exfoliation of dry areas such as the elbows, knees and heels.

I like the packaging off this product a lot. It comes in this pink plastic case which is very handy for traveling and for storing everything when your not using it. The only thing that I don't like about the case is that its difficult to get the brush heads out of the slots. The tool feels quite light and it fits perfectly in my hand and it has enough weight to it that it doesn't feel cheaply made.

When it comes to the product itself, I don't recommend using it on your face if you have really sensitive skin like me. Its way to rough, to the point that it almost hurts a little. But I do like it for exfoliating dry areas on my body such as my heels. Another thing that I don't like about this product is that the brush head rotates so fast, making splashes everywhere. So don't stand too close to your mirror or you have to do some mayor cleaning afterwards. 

The Sigma Beauty Cleansing & Polishing Tool is water resistant and it requires two AA batteries. The batteries are not included so you have to buy them as well. 

Cleansing & Polishing Tool is  $39 on Sigma Beauty's website. I think its a reasonable price for this product but I wouldn't have paid any more for it. My skin is just too sensitive for this product so its not for me but keep in mind that just because I don't like it, doesn't mean that you wont. Everyone is different :)

If you don't want to go all out and spend your money on a Clarisonic Mia, this isn't a terrible choice. Sigma have released a kit called Spa Solutions which contains three unique attachments for your Cleansing & Polishing Tool. One off the attachments is an Extra-Soft Brush which is made for gentle cleansing of extra sensitive skin. It might work much better than the soft brush head that comes with the Cleansing & Polishing Tool.

The Body Shop Vanilla Body Lotion: Review, Photos & Swatch

Hey Cutie Pies, how are you all doing today? :)

Tonight I want to share my favorite body lotion with all off you. This is the Vanilla Body Lotion from The Body Shop. It is a lightweight body lotion that includes notes off vanilla, lemon, plum and jasmine blended together to create a sweet, warm and velvety vanilla fragrance. It also includes Babassu Oil and grape seed oil which moisturizes the skin and restores moisture and smoothness. Its a very light body lotion that quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it feeling softer and smoother for hours.



 


 This is one off the body lotions I have tried that doesn't leave my skin feeling super greasy. I can't stand the greasiness that some body lotions have. I get this urgent need to take a shower or wash my hands after I have used a greasy body lotion, do you get that feeling too?

I'm such a sucker for products that smells good! Sometimes that can be the whole reason for buying a product. Crazy huh, but I bet I'm not the only one out there? :)

The warm Vanilla scent is one off the reasons why I love this body lotion so much. The scent is a little strong but that only makes it last longer on the skin. When I get out off the shower, this is the body lotion that I reach for. I absolutely love how soft it makes my skin feel, its definitely one off the best body lotions that i have tried.

The packaging is very simple but still cute enough to have out on display on your bathroom shelf. The bottle is a little too hard to squeeze and it can be difficult to get product out off it. I think that a pump would be much more practical, maybe they will change that in the future. The consistency off the body lotion is just right, not to thick not to thin!

I paid $23 for this body lotion which is a little expensive but I have had this 200ml bottle for a while now and I still have quite a lot off product left in the bottle. How long a bottle is going to last you depends on how much and how often you use it.

I remember using this body lotion a few years ago but they stopped selling it in here. I recently saw it back in the store and I just had to pick one up for myself and my mom as well. Let's hope they still have it when I run off it. If you love sweet scents, I highly recommend that you check this one out :)

Where to buy?
I recommend that you check out your local The Body Shop store to see if they have it. Its available on their UK website, you can find it here. I also managed to find a seller on Ebay but he/she only has one left so if you want it, you have to hurry before someone else grabs it! Here is the link :)

Do you have any favorite products from The Body Shop? Any recommendations? Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Product Review: Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream

A good hand cream is something that I always have to have in my handbag. The winters here in Norway are really cold so my hands will get dry and chapped if I dont use one and that can be very painful sometimes.

I picked up the Hand Food Hand Cream by Soap & Glory a while ago and its been my go-to hand cream. It is a  non-greasy hand cream with shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow. I really love how soft and smooth it makes my hands feel and it absorbs so quickly into the skin leaving it non-greasy which I love. Im completely obsessed with the smell of this hand cream. The scent stays on the skin for a long time but its quite powerful so if you dont like that this might not be the right hand cream for you.









This is definitely the best, inexpensive hand cream that I have tried. I have almost used up this tube so I need to head out and pick up another one. This is the 50ml tube which is the smallest one available and its the perfect size for any handbag (same size as my Iphone).

This hand cream also comes in bigger bottles as well. I do have a 250ml bottle sitting in our bathroom which I use after washing my hands, its a life saver for dry hands. Wouldn't it be awesome if Soap & Glory released a body spray that smells just like this hand cream? I would definitely buy it :)

Where to buy?
You can find this product at Boots & Sephora. Check out Soap & Glory's website for more information as well :)

Review: MAC Cosmetics Complete Comfort Cream

About The Product:
A moisturizer formulated to instantly rehydrate the skin and provide immediate and ongoing relief from redness and irritation. Ultra-creamy, provides high-comfort wear while providing sensitive skin with the soothing benefits associated with its calming plant-and marine-based formula.






My Opinion:
The Complete Comfort Cream by MAC Cosmetics has been my go-to moisturiser for over five months now, I just love and adore this product so much. I love how my skin feels after using this. Its much softer now than before and the redness on my face has toned down a lot since I started using this product.


I like to use this every morning and night after I have washed my face. As you can see I dont have much product left inside off the box, so I need to get another one. This product is $32 on maccosmetics.com which is quite expensive for a moisturiser, but its cheap compared to the $60 I had to pay for it in the MAC store. I dont understand why the products are more expensive in the store than on their website?

A little goes a long way when it comes to this moisturiser. Im pretty impressed that this has lasted me over five monts, because this is only a 50ml tub. I love how this smells, to me it smells fresh and clean. I have said this in so many off my reviews but I will say it again, how a product smells is very important to me. If a product has a horrible smell, I wont pick it up and use it again. I prefer products that has a clean and fresh smell, so when skin care products have a bad smell, I lose interest in them.

Where to buy?
I bought this at MAC Cosmetics in Trondheim. If you are from the US, you can buy this at maccosmetics.com for $32. You can also find this at Ebay, click here to go to the product.

Review: Lush Bubblegum Sugar Lip Scrub

About The Product:
This one will make your lips smell like our best-selling Snow Fairy shower gel. Bubblegum is made with exfoliating castor sugar and our delicious vegan flavour to gently scrub away rough skin, keeping your lips smooth and kissably soft with the help of jojoba oil.

♥ Bubblegum Sugar Lip Scrub:



My Opinion:
I haven't tried many products by Lush before, but one off the products that I love is their Bubblegum Sugar Lip Scrub. I bought this from the Lush store in Trondheim months ago and I always reach for this product when my lips need some exfoliation.

First I just apply some water to my lips and then I take a little amount off the product on my fingers and gently start with the exfoliation. After the exfoliation, I always apply my favorite lipbalm which is the EOS Summer Fruit. It makes my lips feel super soft, Its such a good combination. If you have both off these products, you need to try it out and let me know what you think :)


I cant stop sniffing this product, it smells so amazing. I have had this products for months now and as you can see I still have a lot off product left inside the jar. This is going to last you a long time and its definitely worth the $8.95. I use this once a week or when I feel like my lips need a little exfoliation.

Where to buy?
You can find this product and many more over at lush.com. You just pick your country and your ready to shop :)
