L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil

Given description: Transforms into a lavish, softening foam--original and unique in texture--that leaves a satin-like softness all over the body. Rich in almond oil and nourishing lipids. Cleanses gently to impart a delectable perfume.

Use daily during the bath to maintain its skin firm; ideal for the shave. Layer the delightful aroma of sweet almond by following with moisturizing Almond Milk Concentrate




Seeing as this was called an oil, i was expecting something really oily and thin, but to my surprise, this turned out to be more like a really thick shower gel.

Doesn't really feel like oil, and doesn't 'foam' up, but acts just like a normal shower gel, only thicker.


It was easy to wash off, and left my skin feeling smooth and definitely not dried out.


What i like best about this product is the scent. After washing off, there was a very pleasant light almond scent left on my skin, and my skin feels smooth.


Get this at any L'Occitane outlets, its about 250ml.

Yardley English Lavender Moisturizing bath foam


There isn't any description of this bath wash, but i guess you shouldn't need one.
I really like the lavender scent in this one. Actually, most people think that the scents in all lavender products are the same but nope, they aren't. This one compared the the Crabtree and Evelyn one i reviewed a few posts back is better. I prefer the scent here, though i actually haven't used this in the bath. I've used it as a shower foam though!
The consistency of this bath foam is more runny then the C & E one and smells fresher. I have no idea why.
I bought this at some pharmacy in Oxford, England.

Crabtree and evelyn Lavender Bath & Shower Gel


As you know, im a big fan of Lavender. This is a great body shower gel, though nothing spectacular. Consistency of the gel is good, fragrance good too. Doesn't leave an overpowering scent on your skin when you're done.
I recommend using this more in a bath then in the shower, because then you get to fully maximise its great power to product bubbles and soak in the scent of Lavender.

L'Occitane Verbena Shower Gel




Given description:
Fresh, clean body shampoo loved equally by men and women. Each squeeze of the non-breakable plastic bottle releases the crisp, citrus scent of L'Occitane verbena. Essential oils of verbena, orange, geranium and lemon tree smooth and nurture even the most sensitive skin, and permeate the room with a winning aroma.





What caught me most about this product was the scent. This body gel smells extremely fresh, like lemongrass, citrus fruits, and lemon.




When used, my skin was left lightly perfumed and invigorated. I like the consistency of this gel too, light but not too liquidy. What was good about this was also the fact that it can be easily washed off and really refreshes you. Would be good after a long day perspiring and sweating under the sun.




The scent of this product is also pretty unisex. Guys can definitely use this without the fear of smelling too sweet like a woman.

L'Occitane Honey & Lemon Foaming Jelly



Given description:
This hair and body shower gel is enriched with pure honey from Provence that gently cleanses the skin, leaving it deliciously perfumed. Lemon essential oil makes hair shinny and radiant.





I totally love the bottle that has such a sweet honeycomb design and lovely golden colour, but what impresses me the most about this product is the scent, which i am very particular about.





This product has a very light honey scent, not much of a lemon smell though. It is not too overpowering, and seriously smells so sweet bees could eat you.




Another great thing i love about this product is that not only can it be used as a body wash, but you can also use this as a shampoo and its moisturizing for both your skin and your body! Doesn't leave it feeling taut and too squeaky clean. I don't like feeling squeaky clean because it feels like moisture has been stripped out of your skin.




This product is great cos if you love the scent (and i'm very sure you will), you can have both your hair and body smelling the same way. It kinda sucks when your body smells weird, due to all the different smells and in the end you just smell like you came out of the washing machine. Okay i think this is a rather weird example.





Soo anyhoo, i really like this body gel, in fact it is one of my favourites.




Rating: ♥♥♥♥ Kudos to L'Occitane for making such a great product again! Never fail to disappoint really.

-Helps Eliminate Skin Aging Dead Cells & Impurities
-Leaves Skin Refreshed & Smooth
-Instantly Restores Luster, Tone & Suppleness To Dehydrated Skin
-Enriched With Natural Cucumber Extract To Soothe & Soften
-Contains Seaweed, Seagrass And Kelp





Honestly, that really is the colour of the gel. I find it really horrible, like a murky yucky green.



When i first used it, i squeezed the shower gel onto my palm and i was wondering why it looked so icky and when you tilt your hand it doesn't flow down your palm, it slides down. It has the consistency of hair conditioner. However when you smooth it on your body it glides on, so the consistency isn't bad. I really dislike the smell however.



I thought it was rather smelly when i first used it, but then i got used to it so i didn't mind the smell that much. However, as the days go by, it seems to smell worse and worse. I don't know why.


I wouldn't recommend this product. I didn't much change in the smoothness of my skin so there really is nothing remarkable. Some other shower gels i've used don't really have much effect either on my skin, but they do smell so much better.


Retails at USD 14.50, not cheap for a shower gel. I got this in Marshalls in New York, so im not sure if there are H20 boutiques in Singapore.

Rating: ♥♥ I've come across a lot better shower gels, and for the price, you can definitely get better ones.
