So you can obviously tell where I’ve been shopping lately, but I’ve been really desperate to try the L’Occitane Bonne Mère range.
The range
The range is marketed as Everyday Gentle Skincare, for even the most sensitive skin and completely paraben free. It has two variations: the first is the traditional soapy scent, and the other adds a touch of honey. I can’t argue with it being more for everyday, as the prices are fairly low, for L’Occitane that is. You can buy over half a litre of the body wash in a pump dispenser for £22, it’s huge.
The line-up also includes a moisturiser for face, body and hands (I wouldn’t be too keen on using it on the face, in all honesty) at £14 and a creamy liquid hand soap for £13.
I have their enormous L’Occitane Bonne Mère soap (see below), which lasts truly forever and has a gorgeous, traditional soapy scent.
The Gentle Bathtime Collection
So I bought the beautiful gift pictured at the top, the Gentle Bathtime Collection, for just a tenner when you spend £25 in store. Seeing as I’d gone into the L’Occitane store to get Mother Manface’s Immortelle Divine Eyes, I thought I’d take advantage of this super offer.
It comes in a mini tin bath, which I’ve not decided how I’m going to use yet, but needless to say it’s going on display. Firstly you get the L’Occitane Hand Cream. I don’t really need to say much about that, other than, if you’ve not tried it before, try it. There’s then both the Milk and Honey body washes as well as the Bonne Mère Honey Soap.
The body washes
The L’Occitane Bonne Mère Honey Body Wash is thick and creamy, lathering into a beautifully smooth, well, lather. L’Occitane’s honey scent has always been one of my favourites; it has a sort of incense undertone to it, turning what can sometimes be an overpowering and sickly sweet scent into something with beautiful subtlety and depth. Your skin is left feeling squeaky clean but not dry and dehydrated. The soap is very hard milled, so doesn’t soften and disintegrate in an instant, but soaps up and has the same delectable fragrance to match.
The Bonne Mère Milk Body Wash has that great soapy scent while being slightly sweet and light. Again it gives a delicious lather and a great feeling of clean.
If you want to try this out, get yourself into a L’Occitane store and grab this offer. Just as I was, you may be treated to a little Verbena tea while you find what to spend your qualifying £25 on (that won’t be hard, trust me).
