    It's a cocoa butter and walnut body scrub. Makes a mess in the bath but it leaves skin really smooth.

    I used to have a tub of this, it lasted aaaages and it did mess up the bath/shower something serious!!!!! :rotfl: WIBA: NO.

  • I finished my small tube of l'Occitane hand cream a couple of weeks ago so here's my review.

    Product: l'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream, 30ml

    Price: £7 (I paid approx. £3)

    Why I Had It: free gift with InStyle mag

    Pros: nice packaging, nice smell, I felt good about using a 'posh' brand

    Cons: wasn't very effective for me so I used this up alongside other, more effective, hand creams

    WIBA: No. Well, maybe if it was very cheap, as a 'vanity' purchase. :D

    we can still see it in the small font size ;)

    Saw the bodyshop offer and had to resist, I began thinking to myself if I order this to get free postage and then that takes that off this which leaves that and then in a seperate order I'll get this and that and this in fact I'll swap that from first order because then that will be free with this and cost this...blah blah blah and the thinking about it all started to hurt, so I closed the body shop website and reminded myself that when i run out of face wash, cleanser, toner etc it will all still be there and there will be similar offers on
