If someone asked me for a L'Occitane recommendation – as someone who is loyal to the brand for many years, I'd always recommend their Almond range. One of my first blog posts was about a product from this range – L'Occitane Almond Beautiful Shape, body-firming lotion. Next I reviewed L'Occitane Almond Milk Hand Cream (perfect, sticky-free for Summer) and L'Occitane Almond Shower Scrub leaving Almond Delicious Paste as the only scrub I still haven't tried which is a sacrilege (I will have top rectify myself with this one!). One of my absolute favorite shower products ever is the L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil. I've gone through countless bottles of this stuff. The only body oil which rivals my love towards Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (body-wise), is the L'Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil. And we finally get to my top pick from the range – L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate.
Almond Milk Concentrate is the only product along with Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse which I constantly go back to.And the following body product is a reincarnation of my beloved Milk Concentrate. L'Occitane Almond Milk Veil (250ml | $40) is a Summer-friendly version of the concentrate in many ways and if you are someone who immensely enjoys the scent of almond blossom – just grab a fan because you're gonna faint!
Almond Shower Scrub and Almond Beautiful Shape have a somewhat different almond blossom aroma as there's a bit of apple thrown into the mix. Almond Milk Concentrate and Almond Milk Veil smell identically and they both provide equally fast-absorbent, light moisturizing effect, leaving skin the smoothest that it has ever been. Texture-wise, I'd say that the Concentrate is a bit more gel-like while the Milk Veil is a lotion + it contains such delicate, discrete shimmer that even people who usually detest body care with shimmer (such as myself) will succumb to its charms. The subtle sparkle adds a gorgeous glow of radiance making arms and especially legs pop! The pump is very practical.
L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil (250ml | $25) is, as I've previously mentioned, the best shower oil out there – Balea shower oil is a good budget option and the Nivea shower oil is actually a standout, a product that holds its own ground although ti reminds me of my L'Occitane love. This is an oil that turns into a milk in contact with water and it just does wonders for my dry skin with psoriasis and it makes shaving a breeze. L'Occitane Almond Delicious Soap (50g | $5) is a bar of soap with bits of crushed almond shells to gently exfoliate, that scrub away while you wash. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling wonderfully fresh and clean without making it dry. I do, however, reserve it for my body, hands and feet.
“It's not cheap but it's worth every penny” is what I always say about every L'Occitane Almond product!
- Ako bi me neko upitao za preporuku L'Occitane proizvoda – kao vjerna, dugogodisnja korisnica proizvoda ovog brenda bih uvijek najiskrenije preporucila Badem liniju. Jedan od mojih prvih postova na blogu je bila recenzija L'Occitane Badem Beautiful Shape losiona za ucvrscivanje tijela. Potom sam recenzirala L'Occitane kremu za ruke sa bademovim mlijekom (idealna za koristenje trokom ljeta) i L'Occitane Badem piling za tijelo sto ostavlja Badem Delicious Paste jedinim pilingom koji nisam imala priliku koristiti a, za L'Occitane zaljubljenika, to je veliki propust (jednom cu i njega pridodati svojoj kolekciji!). Jedan od uopsteno najdrazih proizvoda za tusiranje mi je L'Occitane Badem ulje za tusiranje. Potrosila sam bezbroj bocica tokom godina. Jedino ulje za tijelo koje je rival mom voljenom Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse je L'Occitane Badem ulje za podatnu kozu. I dolazimo do ultimativnog, meni najdrazeg od svih Badem proizvoda – L'Occitane Badem mlijecnog koncentrata.
- Izdvojila bih Badem mlijecni koncentrat uz Nuxe multifunkcionalno ulje kao mazalice za tijelo kojima se iznova vracam i koji mojoj kozi tijela najvise odgovaraju. A proizvod o kojem pisem u nastavku je reinkarnacija mog voljenog mlijecnog koncentrata. L'Occitane Badem biserni mlijecni veo (250ml | 59KM) je ljetna varijanta koncentrata a ako inace mnogo volite miris badema i latica bademovog cvijeta – biti cete odusevljeni!
- Badem piling za tijelo i Badem Beautiful Shape losion imaju malo drugaciji miris u odnosu na ostatak kolekcije jer je u njega dodan miris jabuke. Meni je drazi miris Badem mlijecnog koncentrata a poput njega identicno mirise i Badem biserni mlijecni veo. Mnogo su slicni i po pitanju djelovanja jer su jednako lagane teksture koja osvjezava kozu, nema tezine i izuzetno se brzo upijaju. Hidratacija je lagana ali meni dovoljna, cak potaman jer koza odmah upije proizvod i nema ljepljivosti sto znaci da se odmah mogu obuci. Koncentrat je mozda vise nalik laganom gelu dok je biserni mlijecni veo vise poput losiona i sadrzi tako delikatan, diskretan shimmer. Cak i osobama koje inace zaziru od shimmera u mazalicama ce biti tesko ostati imun/a na sarm mlijecnog vela. Ove sjajne cestice su jako sitne a cine da koza naprosto sija (noge i ruke djeluju fantasticno namazane ovim losionom). Pumpica je mnogo prakticna.
- L'Occitane Badem ulje za tusiranje (250ml | 35KM) je, kako sam ranije spomenula, najbolja ulja tusiralica na trzistu. Isprobala sam Balea ulje za tusiranje i za tako malo novca nema boljeg ali mi je Nivea ulje za tusiranje za dvije klase bolje, iako se ne moze porediti sa L'Occitane uljem. Ovo je tip ulja koje se u dodiru sa vodom pretvara u mlijecnu emulziju, njezno je spram moje suhe koze sa psorijazom + olaksava brijanje. L'Occitane piling sapun od badema (50g | 7,50KM) sadrzi mljevenu bademovu ljusku i te cestice njezno pilinguju kozu pri koristenju (i lako se sapiraju vodom). Sapun lijepo pjeni,kozu ostavljajuci divno osvjezenom i cistom bez isusivanja. Koristenje ipak sam ogranicila na tijelo, ruke i stopala.
- “Nije jeftino ali vrijedi svakog ulozenog novcica” je nesto sto kazem za svaki L'Occitane Badem proizvod!
