L'occitane & My Little Box

L'occitane is a brand I have been a fan of for a while now, especially their Bonne Mere range which I believe is highly under rated, My Grandma actually introduced it to me last christmas with a selection of the range.
I attended the event in which they had collaborated with the french company 'My Little Box', based in Paris it's a monthly lifestyle box subscription service which is a favourite amongst bloggers for its selection of items it sends each month. I personally like that they do something different not just the standard 5 or so beauty products.
I have to say I had kind of forgotten about L'occitane until this event, but I am very glad I was reminded of its presence! It has some absolute corker's in the range, there are obviously the cult classics such as the almond shower oil but the fragrance range has some hidden gems, my friend obsesses over the fig fragrance she blogged about it here.
The event was based in the beautiful little Covent garden store, which is well worth a visit if your around that area.

St Ives #brightskin

On wednesday this babe invited me to come with her to attend a St Ives skin care event. St Ives are predominantly known for their amazing and affordable facial scrubs, but the event placed emphasis on how important it was to keep chemicals and free radicals out of your skin care regime and to only put ingredients on your face that you would put in your body such as oats and apricots. 

Julie Montagu AKA The flexi foodie did a great talk on how to maintain great skin on the inside and the outside through eating well and incorporating natural  skin care. 

We made our own avocado face masks which consisted of one part Avo, one part hunny and a teaspoon of coconut oil, super easy to re-create at home.

I also couldn't keep my eyes off this purse, It's from whistles and the lovely Ashumi had it monogrammed. Definatly an idea I want to steal until I can afford This baby, she also has a beautiful blog! 

I also met Claudia who runs a blog, a lovely lady with the most flawless skin!

The evening was rounded off with a sketch of yourself by a very talented Zarina Liew.

It was lovely to meet so many beautiful and talented women whilst learning about skin care in the process!
