Let L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum help reset your skin while you sleep

If there’s an award being given out for prettiest serum on your dresser, I think the L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum will win hands down!

I mean, look at it!

The beautiful gradient colour on the luxe glass bottle packaging is both eye-catching and pleasing to the eye. I do have a little gripe that the tactile texture of the cap and pump do not feel as luxurious as the bottle looks, but it is one I will overlook. A little more attention to that detail for future iterations might be nice :)

But we all know that there’s little use in a skincare product looking good, if it does not function as well as it claims, so it’s time to see just what is it it claims to do, and if it does it as well as it looks.

The new L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Triphase Essence is a lovely way to soothe irritated skin if used as suggested

I’m currently the most out-of-touch beauty blogger in the entire universe of beauty blogging. I’m still only starting to use products that were ‘newly launched’ a year ago, and I’m not even doing full-on routines for a while now. I think the whole pandemic has gotten to most of us in one way or another, hasn’t it? At least, that’s my excuse.

But recently, I was gifted with a new product, the L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Triphase Essence, and I was intrigued enough to slot it straight into my routine.

Incidentally, there was a lot of interest in this, when I shared about it on Instagram, so here it is :) Incidentally, it’s one I suggest that you use as suggested, instead of being too clever about it and using it in a different manner, as I usually do :P

Luxuriate in the nourishing goodness of the L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil for soft, smooth skin

It’ puzzles me that despite my enjoyment of using body oils, the L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil has eluded me.

This body oil has been a crowd pleaser since the day it was released, and when it crossed my radar recently, I decided to finally have a go at it.

Unlike common misconceptions about using body oil, it doesn’t leave you slippery, greasy or oily. If you think about it in the same way as using a facial oil, it is about the same principle.

A good body oil should sink into your skin, nourish it, leave it feeling moisturized, smooth and soft, all without feeling sticky or greasy or, in the case of a dry oil, dry to the touch.

And does the L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil live up to those ideals? :D

Help! All this handwashing is drying out my hands : 4 hand creams I’m using

I said in my last post that I would keep calm and carry on blogging. And I intend to do so. But if I’m to be honest, my heart isn’t quite in it right now, purely because it appears so frivolous.

Yet, I have received a few kind messages from you that that bit of frivolity is what we need right now. A little bit of escapism from the mad mad world out there!

As much as I want to maintain a sense of normalcy in our life, the fact is nothing is normal, and if I’m to be honest, I do not want this to be the new normal. What is normal is for us to be able to move around freely, without that constant dread of meeting an infected person, and to shy away from people like they’re bearing the plague. That isn’t normal.

What is normal is meeting family and friends, holding them, hugging and kissing them, sitting down for a meal or a drink, being able to enjoy each other’s company. That’s normal.

But we keep our distance, and we stay home, and we try to ‘Flatten the Curve’, and one thing we’ve been cautioned over and over during this period, is to WASH OUR HANDS. And I don’t know about you, but my hands are washed raw. So, here’s some things that helped me.
