I got this a gift but ended up only using it twice. The smell was quiet strong for a body butter and lasted for such a long time it made it impossible to wear perfume without being a smelly monster, but not long enough for it to smell nice all evening. The smell is of the type that you get tired of really quick, at least I did after just two tries. And I met several people who disliked the smell. It did not seem to moisturize my skin and it did not seem to absorb well. I prefer body butters that are not body shop, although I do find the coconut butter from the Body shop a bit better than this one. Had it been a great product the price would have been worth it, but not as it is now. -

I love this perfume. It is one of my favorites! The smell is wonderful and perfect for spring, summer and autumn. It is good both as a perfume for day time and for going out at night. The bottle is extremely cute and makes me smile every time I look at it. I get loads of compliments when I wear this perfume and it has smelled great on my friends that have tried it too. The bottle lasts for a long while. -

I bought this in the hope of finding a moisturizing cream that would work for my sensitive skin. When I tried the cream in the store before I bought it, it felt nice on my skin. However after using it for a few days this cream made me break out and my skin got irritated. Instead of reducing the redness as it promised it increased it. It did everything wrong but itch. It took just a few days for my skin to look awful. If this cream didn't advertise being for super sensitive skin I might have rated it higher, but I reacted worse to this cream than I have to many regular creams. It took me quiet some while to calm my skin after I had used this for a while. And that for a product that is supposedly hypoallergenic. In addition to this the cream is quiet expensive considering the small amount that is in the bottle.
On the positive side the cream is free from alcohol, fragrance, and preservatives. I love that it comes in a pump bottle. The small sized bottle also makes it easier to take traveling. However there is no way I will put this cream on my face again. I love L'Occitane but I am sticking to non facial care products from the brand.
Granted I have difficult skin that is very sensitive but this cream advertises to be perfect for that type of skin. At least not make it irritated, break out AND increase redness!

I was really disappointed with this mascara. It doesn't double my lashes at all. In fact I see little improvement to my lashes other than the colour changing a bit. It has a tendency to clump the lashes together. Not sure if that is what Clinique meant when they promised that the lashes are thickened but it is most definitely not an effect I was after. Several coats can make the mascara look nice but it doesn't help as this mascara ends up leaving mascara smudges all under my eyes in no time. Never had a mascara run this much. I know it is not waterproof but still...I look better not wearing the mascara then have it all over my face. It is so not worth the money in my opinion. -
L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
This is my favourite hand cream. I love that it works so quickly and that a little goes a long way. It works very well for dry hands and doesn't leave a greasy feeling.
