New! L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening Skincare : Skin brightening with the Gold of Corsica

April 19, 2013 Paris B 34 Comments

l'occitane immortelle brightening new products

I learnt something very interesting when I attended a L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening workshop a little while ago. I learnt that the Immortelle flower, which is a little bright yellow flower that grows on the Mediterranean island of Corsica is used in cooking there. Cooking! I’m afraid culinary factoids stay in my head longer than any beauty facts I may come across 😛 Sorry.

But the flower is called Immortelle because it doesn’t fade even after being plucked, and the oils derived from it is found to increase skin elasticity and healing wounds and scrapes. If you are as enthralled with tv and movie productions about ancient times, you could just imagine someone hunting down this bright yellow flower to make a poultice for a wound, couldn’t you? No? Ok, just me then 😛 Yes, I have a wild imagination.

But poultices, wounds and cooking aside, the brand most famous for using the Immortelle flower oils in their skincare range is probably L’Occitane. I know that the L’Occitane Immortelle range (in the deep blue packaging) is very popular with many people who want something anti-aging, but I’m also told that it is more suitable for those with drier skin. I haven’t used their creams and potions but one of the earlier skincare product I’d used from L’Occitane was the Immortelle Foaming Cleanser. I really liked it!

Well if you didn’t already know, L’Occitane has an Immortelle Brightening skincare range which is targeted (you guessed it!) at helping you get more radiant skin. What can I say, its the 1st quarter of the year here in Asia and whitening/brightening products get top billing. 3 new items have been introduced to the range and I’ll run them down quickly for you.

New! L’Occitane Angelica Hydrating Skincare Introduces 3 new items

October 19, 2012 Paris B 22 Comments

Some time last year, I told you about a new range of skincare from French brand, L’Occitane who we tend to associate more with bath and body products. (And don’t those smell delicious and feel so lovely? 😛 ) The range was Angelica and it is a range of skincare products targeted at hydration.

l'occitane angelica skincare

I’d tried the Angelica Face Toner, as some of you might recall. I used to even use it as a quick face mask, and I went through 2 bottles of them. It was quite lovely and I sort of liked that fresh green scent. I also tried the Angelica Hydration Cream but it lacked that certain je ne sais quoi.

This year, the range was expanded further to include a couple of new items, notably the Exfoliating Gel and Instant Hydrating Mask. There was also an inclusion of a Hydration Face Mist, which was limited edition. I know, limited edition – I did raise my eyebrows when I was told. Maybe they are testing the market 😉

Bathing Beauty: The L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is my luxury shower treat!

May 11, 2012 Paris B 63 Comments

The L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is, I believe, one of the hidden gems in the brand. Ok, maybe not so hidden because I know of many who are great fans of it. Its been around a while, and I’d heard a lot about it, but it was only relatively recently that I actually tried it.

I picked up a bottle when I walked past a booth last Christmas (Goodness! Has it been that long?!) and I love it! This is what I keep as my luxury shower treat (because its so pricey I nearly fainted handing over money at the cashier 😛 ). Its really a fascinating product and by now, you should be familiar with my penchant for oils – body oils, face oils… and now shower oil! 😀

The L’Occitane Angelica Face Toner Also Doubles Up As A Hydrating Face Mask

September 22, 2011 Paris B 16 Comments

So, earlier today, I told you that whilst the L’Occitane Angelica Hydration Cream was a pretty decent moisturizer, it didn’t quite tick all my boxes. I’m not quite sure why myself. I’m usually a lot more forgiving 😛

But there is one product in the Angelica range that did tick all the right boxes – the L’Occitane Angelica Face Toner.

l'occitane angelica face toner review

This is an alcohol free face toner infused with the Angelica water and Angelica essential oil which as we learnt earlier this morning, has hydrating and skin repairing qualities. Like the Hydration Cream, this toner smells green. I swear its like a cucumber-parsley mix which isn’t unpleasant but is very green. To me, the scent isn’t as strong as that in the cream and does not linger on the skin.

Part of the reason I like this toner after trying the tester size that was provided to me, is because it does not dry the skin. I wet a cotton pad and wipe it over my skin and it feels refreshed, and clean and not drying at all. The other reason I like this is because I can also use it as a mask! 😀
