L'Occitane Spring Cherry

Today I received a lovely unexpected surprise from the postman. He handed over a parcel from the wonderful French beauty company, L'Occitane. I'm a huge fan of their hand creams (you know the ones) but I haven't yet tried anything else, so I was super excited when I discovered the gift set contained goodies from their new Spring Cherry collection.

It was all beautifully presented and I even felt bad opening it. Unfortunately the sticker didn't quite make it, but hey ho!  

This exact collection isn't available to purchase on their website, but each product is linked below to buy individually.

Spring Cherry Iridescent Shower Gel - £13

Spring Cherry Moisturizing Gel - £20

Spring Cherry Eau De Toilette - £32

Spring Cherry Hand Cream - £8

Spring Cherry Soap - £3.50

I can't wait to try everything out. I've already spritzed the Eau De Toilet and it's love!

It's a shame this collection is limited edition as it's so lovely. Looks like I'll be stocking up next time I pass a L'Occitane counter ;)

Space NK Goodies!

The Sunday Telegraph teamed up with luxury British skincare and spa brand Elemental Herbology and beauty boutique Space NK to give every reader the chance to claim a free 30ml tube of one of its best-selling products, Cell Plumping Facial Moisturiser, worth £25. I'm not a regular reader of The Telegraph, but I was more than willing to pay £2 to get my hands on a tube of this stuff which claims to contain pearl extract and royal jelly to help improve skin hydration.

 Elemental Herbology - Cell Plumping Facial Hydrator SPF 8

Plump up mature or dry skin, in all the right places. This lightweight yet super-hydrating daily moisturiser is brimming with antioxidants  anti-ageing marine actives and botanicals to protect against environmental aggressors and the elements. Skin collagen is boosted, leaving a healthy glow.

This couldn't have came at a better time. All the central heating and harsh weather conditions has started to take a toll on my skin. My face is dry and sore and is in need of some serious TLC. 

Before I even tried the product I noted it has SPF protection. 1 point to EH! However, as soon as I opened it I couldn't help but notice the smell. It's a pleasant scent, clean and fresh, but seriously overwhelming. If you're not one for strong scents I wouldn't even consider this. I don't mind so much as it's agreeable and doesn't irritate my skin at all.

The product itself is lightweight which is absorbed quickly into my skin and doesn't leave much of a residue or shine. I have only used it a handful of times but it's done a great job at soothing and rehydrating my tired dull skin. 

This seems like the perfect daily moisturiser for anyone who needs a radiance boost but doesn't like anything too rich or heavy. 

Nuxe - Reve de Miel

An ultra concentrated natural formula for instant healing. Soothes, repairs, nourishes, softens and heals chapped lips whilst reducing fine lines of the lip contour area.

After all the love and praise this product received from EssieButton I just couldn't stop myself from buying it. And lemme tell you, this has certainly lived up to every expectation I had. It has such a unique consistency which has me constantly reaching for more. It's thick yet still manages to sink it extremely quick. It smells delicious, of citrus and honey. It comes in a luxurious glass jar. It's perfect!

I will, without a doubt, be giving this little gem pride of place on my bedside table.

Did anybody else make use of The Telegraph promotion this week?
