Advantages: Really works well
Disadvantages: It is expensive

I have been using L`occitane products for a while now, basically they are beauty products, they sell foot cream, shaving cream, bubble bath, soap and much much more, there stuff is really good. the one bad point though is that they are really expensive, (I get a discount as my sister in law is a mangeress in one off their stores.) She tends to buy the family birthday or christmas presents from her store, recently she got me Shea butter foot cream ...
...I am not sure off the price as it was a gift. Description The cream comes in a silver 150ml tube which in turn comes in a brown box and it has the L`Ooccitane logo on , the lid is a screw on one and is navy blue in colour. There is a slight smell from this cream but it is`nt strong and it is nice. Instructions for use Use both hands and in circular motion massage cream into feet, the box also states that the cream is for external use only and ... Read review

Advantages: Smells wonderful; leaves hands very soft
Disadvantages: Price, lid could be better

I love L'Occitane products for their gorgeous fragrances and natural ingredients, so when I saw the lavender hand cream, I just had to have it. THE PACKAGING I have long since discarded the box, but it was a lovely quality, thick cardboard in a creamy colour with a lavender coloured border and scrolly writing, as far as I remember. The tube inside is typical of l'Occitane's simple style. It is a silvery metal with a dark blue octagonal screw cap ...
...available mail order directly from L'Occitane (http://uk.loccitane.com). A comment on availability is that you might not get hold of it al year round because L'Occitane cycle their products according to harvests, so that you are getting a very fresh product. I always keep a spare tube in so have not found this a problem as it lasts so long! I am not really a hand cream person so I love the texture of this one, being so light. However, for anyone ...

Advantages: Great smell ,easily aborbed
Disadvantages: Costly and not really rich enough to be effective.

...generally a big fan of Clarins and took the opportunity to take a free sample when I purchased some other products. I kept it in my handbag and used it whenever I was out and about, I have to say it absorbs easily and smells great. On the negative side its rather expensive and doesn't seem to spread very far, which means that unlike many of their other products it doesn't represent very good value for money. So on the whole you could buy a supermarket ... Read review

Advantages: Moisturises well
Disadvantages: Screw top

This is a really good value cream that i use every day. It soaks in reasonably fast depending on the amount you use and is good for most skin types except oily. You can use it anywhere at all on your body, especially on dry skin areas. The smell is quite nice, but not fragranced, it leaves your skin silky smooth. You can use just a little or sometimes i like to It's available in different sizes so i will be taking smaller pots with me on holiday. ...
...that it's in a screw top tub so you have to put cream on the back of your hand and rub it in once you have closed the tub (not a very difficult thing to do but hopefully they will produce a dispensing tub soon) It's not expensive and is a great staple of my beauty routine. ... Read review

Advantages: They work, they stick, they do exactly what it says on the packet
Disadvantages: Only come in boxes of 5; quite expensive

...to get more of the Compeed plasters. They come in a very handy container, are relatively easily to apply - once you get the hang of things - and, most importantly, they stick!! Price wise, they were about middle of the road, comparing them to other brands of blister plasters, but I managed to get them on special offer in Superdrug. I've only been able to get them in packs of 5, so they are working out at not much under £1 for each plaster, but ...
...thing I would watch out for is that the instructions say you should wait for the pladter to fall off - this I do not recommend! They are so sticky, that can take some considerable time, and the blisters and broken skin below start to smell very unpleasant. I suggest you keep an eye on them! ... Read review
