Day 1
Almond Shower Oil
This indulgent Almond Shower Oil transforms into a light, milky, foam that cleanses the body gently and lovingly, without drying. Enriched with almond oil, it is moisturising so perfect for normal to dry skin. It also leaves the skin delicately scented with almond – truly mouthwatering.
Review
I used to go in this shop a lot to purchase their perfumes, got offered a job once in their Glasgow branch ~ considered moving there but didn’t in the end. Never tried their other products as I’m a perfume junky.
Looking forward to trying out their range in this calendar.
Put this with my shower product collection to get me through Christmas.
Really like this as it rinses off easier than I thought it might.
Guess the oil hydrates your skin.
Almonds are good for nails and skin.
The fragrance is really lovely, might be a new favourite.
Day 2
Perfumed Body Lotion
Neroli and orchid glow with citrus brightness, softening into a creamy veil of vanilla.
Take in the aroma of iconic neroli as you moisturise and soften skin with an infusion of shea butter in this luxurious body lotion. The lightweight texture and bright notes of citrus, florals and sophisticated orchid elevate any beauty ritual.
Discover our sophisticated Néroli Orchidée Body Lotion (Neroli Orchid), redesigned with a new, modern and minimalist look that reflects the cultural heritage of Maison L’Occitane en Provence.
Apply a small quantity of the product on clean hands. Massage into the skin with slow, circular movements.

Review
Realising L’Occitane has a unique fragrance style.
I think you would wear this if you are going somewhere sophisticated, possibly where ladies drink tea from tea cups and saucers.
I quite like this experience.
I’d wear it when I was in London or Paris visiting Art Galleries and Expensive Cafes and Restaurants.
Pure Pampering Luxury.
Day 3
Enriched with moisturising Shea Butter, soothing lavender essential oil and anti-inflammatory arnica extract, this rich cream smoothes and softens skin while relieving tired achy feet. Apply daily after showering.
Will try this overnight with my TU Sleep Socks.
Review
Really enjoyed pampering my feet.
Worked well with the socks.
(Have to say the socks are supposed to be for wellingtons, I can’t wear them as I have narrow feet. Got some like this one year from a Bayliss and Harding gift set. If you take the label off and put it with a foot cream product no one will no anyway ~ but have a lovely treat if they like this sort of thing or a lovely treat for you.
Really easy to use ~ great formula.
Haven’t pampered my feet since the July foot pad detox, overdue this treat.
Day 4
Fleurs de Cerisier (Cherry Blossom) Perfumed Shower Gel
Cherry blossom petals caught in a sunlit breeze of freesia and blackcurrant.

Discover our iconic Fleurs de Cerisier Shower Gel (Cherry Blossom), redesigned with a new, modern and minimalist look that reflects the cultural heritage of Maison L’Occitane en Provence.
I love the fragrance but just noticed they have changed the packaging ~ preferred the un minimalist packaging ~ that was what drew me into the shop to be honest.
Hopefully it will go back to being un minimalist.
The calendar isn’t unminimalist the designs are out of this world.
I used to buy Amber though and that was minimalist design ~ love that one, in fact I forgoed the designer packaging of the other products for the fragrance of Amber, don’t usually do that.
Suppose it doesn’t matter lol!!!
This is my favourite so far will try it tonight.
Decided to use up all my calendar products first, then I have some more in storage and presents to get me through till the post starts again.
Review
Love this fragrance ~ gorgeous.

It would make a good Challenge for you in the slimming calendar.

Conclusion
After getting a calendar for normal to dry skin and teenage skin last year it is a relief to get one that suits my skin type this year as it means I can try the product range.
As I love spa day hopefully find some new favourites.
Will load up the next 6 days next week, then store in a Nostalgic Christmas File on Pinterest for you if you fancy a browse.
Enjoy!!!
