Hi guys!=)
So today's review is about a body cream from 'L'Occitane'.
So today's review is about a body cream from 'L'Occitane'.
L'Occitane is famous with their shea butter products. I've tried a few of their products in the past but not much. I bought this body cream in a whim because I was actually thinking of buying 'The Body Shop Body Butter' but the scent that I like is always out of stock so in a fury, I went to L'Occitane and did some damage there. I usually prefer to spend my money at 'The Body Shop' than L'Occitane is because L'Occitane products are way too expensive. Anyway, I spent quite a lot of money on that trip to L'Occitane, this is one of the item that I bought.

Skin type: all skin types

Consistency/texture: butter-like consistency
Smell/scent: shea butter scent
Feel: very moisturising
Application/how to use: massage on body after bathing or showering, or anytime skin feels hot, dry or tight

Packaging: big and bulky but very sturdy. Can be take to travel.
Sizes: one size 200ml
Whole product lasted how long: 15 days
Product life span: 12 months

Personal experience using it: I like this body cream a lot but compared it to my beloved 'The Body Shop Body Butter', I personally still prefer TBS body butter because the consistency is very similar and it's way cheaper than this one. It is a highly moisturising body cream but the scent is not to my liking. It has a very very rich shea butter scent and I personally dislike the scent of shea butter. I used this every single night after I shower so usually my body creams ran out pretty fast. Usually a 200ml body cream will only last me 2 weeks so it wasn't a surprised that I finished this in 15 days. This body cream doesn't absorb instantly so if you can't wait then don't buy it. Overall, I would recommend this to those who have dry skin like me and have the patience to wait for it to absorb before wearing your clothes.
Would you repurchase: maybe (too expensive lol)
Product value/price: RM186
Where I bought mine: L'Occitane store, Malaysia
