What I Say:
If you’re a regular reader of my little blog, you’d know
that I adore the products from L’Occitane en Provence, and these Shea Ultra
Soft Creams are no exceptions. They are available in three different scents,
Vanilla Bouquet, Rose Heart and Zesty Lime, and I’ve tried out the first two,
and have my eyes on the Lime version as well as I just cannot resist a zesty
citrus scented product!
Anyway, I don’t normally have particularly dry skin, but it
always tends to become a little drier during the colder months of the year, and
that’s when I particularly love to use the Shea Ultra Soft Cream.
The Creams come in cute metal jars with screw lids, and only
the colour distinguishes them, the vanilla one is yellow, Rose is pink while
the Lime one is green!
You might think that the cream is thick and heavy, but on
the contrary, common for all of them is that the cream is light, almost whipped
in consistency. This also means that the cream is easy to spread across the
skin and it absorbs super quickly into the skin, and leaving the skin soft and
smooth, and without any greasiness or stickiness. And the skin remains
moisturised all day long so there is no need to reapply. But what’s even better
is the creams leave the skin beautifully and lightly scented, and this scent
lingers on the skin for hours afterwards, while still being so subtle that it
doesn’t clash with your perfume.
Both the vanilla and the rose scents are gorgeous, although
my favourite of the two wold have to be the vanilla. Still, I have to admit
that I’m not normally a huge fan of rose scented products as I feel it can
sometimes smell a little like potpourri, or a little like grandma, if you like
– I have to admit that L’Occitane has got it just right, and even got the rose
scent just right and not too heavy, but rather ‘young’ and fresh!
Regardless of the scent, it is a beautiful body cream, and I
certainly wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again…especially that Lime version
which I’ve got my eyes on….
