L'Occitane

Hello children! I managed to take an alright photo (bloody British weather makes it almost impossible to get a well lighted picture) but I'll hopefully get better as I use my camera more and more. You can read about my new camera here

I know with this post and my last one I seem to be approaching the genre of beauty blogger, but it's all relevant to stuff I'm interested in so I thought I'd tell you a bit about this gorgeous hand cream. I got this L'Occitane sample I got free with this month's Marie Claire. I had to repuff up the tubes for the picture so it looked like I hadn't used them (they're a bit worn down after I've used them to feed my addiction). It's made with 20% shea butter and it feels really creamy when you put it on the skin, leaving your hands really soft (and the cocoa flower one smells especially good). There's an article in Marie Claire about how L'Occitane source it, so definitely go out and buy the magazine to find out. It does the job and it's ethical - best of both worlds.
