This was my first experience with a concentrated product, so I'm a newbie - but definitely considering the switch to more concentrated selfcare products! First of all, I like that you get more actual valuable skincare-relevant ingredients in the product than just paying for water. I didn't feel like I needed moisturizer afterwards, the shower concentrate was really soothing and nourishing to my skin. Secondly, Everist is obviously committed to the cause of sustainability and not just greenwashing like many other brands unfortunately are... That's a huge factor for me personally, as I value their honesty and transparency as well as the consistency across the product formulation, packaging and other products that are offered. The fact that they include the metal key and don't expect consumers to buy their own is also helpful, as I have given other products with metal packaging a try before and got quite frustrated with the difficulty to use it without waste - so my compliments to the person who decided to include it, a very small detail but much appreciated as a consumer! As for the smell, I found it to be very subtle - perfect if you're sensitive to overpowering smells, but personally for my liking it should either be stronger or completely scent-free. That's probably the one thing I hope Everist will change and add to their selection - a completely scent-free option without any essential oils so their products are suitable for little ones! As a mom I'd love to be able to make the switch to an entirely sustainable shower routine, and I love the nourishing benefits for my skin so I'd assume it would be fantastic for my baby, just not an option as long as the products are scented. Other than that, I am beyond impressed with the shower concentrate and the konjac sponge. That's another huge change for my routine - I tried loofah sponges and hated how harsh they felt, a bunch of other natural sponges just didn't feel right to me. This sponge is nice to squish and has a bouncy feel to it, soft on the skin, lathers the product well - so it's safe to say that this will definitely be repurchased!

There are many reasons why I love this milk concentrate - let's start with the smell: I love the amande product line because the almond scent is so sophisticated yet slightly sweet, and it lasts long. Same as the long lasting hydration you get from this cream - I apply it in the evening and my skin is so soft when I wake up! I couldn't believe my skin is that soft, truthfully I haven't had any skincare product show such effects. The formula is great for my skin - it's not drying like a lot of lotions, and not greasy like body butters, it's a lightweight cream that absorbs fast and provides deep nourishment. Lastly, I personally really appreciate L'Occitane's commitment to nature and planting almond trees in the provence.

Shower time just got a luxurious upgrade with this shower cream from L'Occitane!
The whipped almond shower cleanser transforms your shower into a summery-sweet almond field, leaving your skin nourished and soft!
If you’ve tried any of their products from the 'amande' series, you know the irresistible smell i’m talking about - if you don’t know what i’m talking about, get yourself this shower cream, you won’t be disappointed. The almond oil leaves your skin so soft and the smell will linger on your skin for hours! I do have sensitive skin and haven't experienced any reaction to L'Occitane products, on the contrary - I feel like they're formulated for me. My skin is always left smoother and feels softer than before, and their scents are gentle and not overpowering!

YSL loveshine candy glow in ‘pink sunrise’ is a lovely light pink shade that has slightly cool undertones and works great with a pastel make-up look. It’s on the sheer side so your natural lip colour will come through a little bit, which i personally love with a lighter colour because it looks so healthy and natural! -
I love how the formula is pigmented and yet buildable to achieve the desired look. It melts into your skin or foundation without looking cakey or emphasizing impurities. As I have textured skin, I sometimes struggled with creme or liquid blushes... +
I love how the formula is pigmented and yet buildable to achieve the desired look. It melts into your skin or foundation without looking cakey or emphasizing impurities. As I have textured skin, I sometimes struggled with creme or liquid blushes, but this one did not accentuate my imperfections - it looked dewy and healthy for a long time! Additionally, I love the applicator shape - I like to add a tiny bit of blush on my nose and the tip of this applicator is perfect to do so. Overall a wonderful product, I am going to buy more shades for sure! -

Being in an interracial relationship, I constantly left make-up stains on my husband's dark skin - and we were both tired of it! I tried so many products and they never held up the promise of being transfer proof, until I finally tried this one: we put the product to the test and it did not leave a mark on his skin, so I can finally wear a full face without worrying that he will be left with patchy pale marks of my makeup... It's also sweat-proof, which we tested during our recent move - I wore a full face during 25+ degree weather hauling boxes around and it did stay in place! Since it passed such hardcore testing conditions, I can assure you this product holds up what it promises!

I'm approaching my 30s and wanted to work on preventing my eyes from getting wrinkly and show signs of aging. I've tried other eye creams before without much effect - they were hydrating but I didn't feel like my skin got firmer and wrinkles disappeared. Luckily, this eye serum is lightweight and works well for me! It looks like the small wrinkles I have are already fading which is fantastic, so I will keep using and repurchasing this serum to prevent signs of aging around my eye area. Since this product is working so well for my eyes, I'm planning on trying the other products in their anti-aging line as well, hopefully the great ingredients will work well for the rest of my skin too! -
