L’Occitane Immortelle Pillars Collection

If you are a fan of L’Occitane, then the Immortelle Pillars three-piece collection* is one you absolutely need and it is live on QVC from 9pm, so grab it whilst stocks last!

The collection consists of three products the best-selling Overnight Reset Serum, alongside the iconic Divine Cream and with it comes the brand new Divine Eyes & Lips Contour. This collection is described as being a celebration of the Immortelle Flower; a strong and resilient flower that maintains its golden hue even after being picked.

The Overnight Reset Serum (£50) is a product I’ve have repurchased twice since I was introduced to it a few years back and it is simply divine when your skin needs some TLC after a week on back-to-back Zoom meetings, shouting obscenities at Twitter and generally just feeling absolutely urgh!

This Overnight Reset Serum is described as being a powerful trio of active ingredients which are suspended in this innovative, dual textured serum to ‘reset’ skin overnight. The use of Immortelle Overnight Reset Serum results in a satin smooth finish with instantly hydrated skin. It features three potent active ingredients which are - Immortelle Essential Oil, Acmella Oleracea Extract and Marjoram Extract, all of which are suspended in thousands of golden bubbles within an innovative dual textured serum, working together to deliver one visibly glowing reset result.

The second product is the Immortelle Divine Cream (50ml/£79).  This cream has the most wonderful, almost Cashmere-like texture to it and it feels just incredible on the skin.

Described as being a face moisturiser that fights against visible signs of ageing: wrinkles, loss of firmness, radiance and uneven skin tone, it contains a high concentration of Immortelle essential oil to help protect the skin from environmental aggressions. This cream is said to harness the power of 600 Immortelle flowers and their exceptional everlasting longevity. Immortelle Super Extract which is said to be gentle 100% natural alternative to Retinol, its job is to support the skin’s architecture and help increase skin’s density. Then finally we have Immortelle Essential Oil, a natural antioxidant as powerful as Vitamin E and it protects the skin from external aggressions such as pollution.

The final product within this collection is Divine Eye & Lips (15ml/£55). Described as being a complete youth care that reduces fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and dark circles.

Boasting 97% natural-origin ingredients, Divine Eye & Lips Contour is an incredibly lightweight, soft-as-satin texture on the skin. It infuses your skin with a subtle aromatic scent as it captures the essence of the warm scrubland of Corsica, where Immortelle is found.

As you might expect, this product has the inclusion of Immortelle Super Extract, a natural alternative to retinol, the three-patented Immortelle Divine Eye & Lips Contour is described as being a complete youth care, helping to defy the signs of aging and making your skin look as young as you feel. After use, wrinkles such as crow’s feet, under eye and laugh lines will be smoothed, and sagging, droopy eyelids visibly reduced.

Together, L'Occitane are presenting to you, the perfect skincare trio to give your routine the ultimate spring awakening! Worth an incredible £184, the collection is available here on QVC for just £79.98, a saving of over £104!

The Aroma Active Laboratories Sleep Collection

Aroma Active Laboratories is new to Boots and comes from the lab responsible for Aromatherapy Associates. Anyone who loves Aromatherapy Associates as much as I do (Support Breathe especially), then this is a brand you need to own absolutely everything of! I am making my way through some of the products the brands has to offer, but in the meantime, I am going to share a selection of the Sleep products as Boots currently has 25% off*!

Within the Sleep collection there is four products - a Sleep Mist, a Sleep Pulsepoint Rollerball, Sleep Soak Salt and a Sleep Overnight Recovery Facial Oil. Each one of these products range in price from £8 to £15 making them very much affordable, more so with 25% off.

I am a huge fan of bath salts, they are such an underrated products, so with 25% off, I bought the Aroma Active Laboratories Sleep Salt Soak (£15 for 500g) and they are described as being a relaxing salt soak to calm your body and mind for a good night’s sleep.

These bath salts, which does dissolve in the bath water, are designed using a relaxing blend of essential oils which are known for their calming and centring effects. 

• Lavandin contains Linalool and Linalyl Acetate which together are known to promote relaxation.
• Buddhawood which is known to have a calming and centring effect, promoting balance and harmony.
• Valerian which I’ve used on many different products and it is known for its calming effect, widely used to promote good quality sleep.
• Ylang Ylang which is known for its sleep benefits, as we as its properties to fight nervous tension and stress.

These bath salts are simply incredible, as soon as you open the inner foil package, the scent which comes through is just wonderful and it becomes even better as it mixes in with the steam vapour of the bath water. Incredibly relaxing and just wonderful to use.

The second product is the Aroma Active Laboratories Sleep Over Night Recovery Face Oil (30ml) and if you are a fan of facial oils, you will find it incredibly hard to not love this.

It is described as being a restorative facial oil which helps you to relax and unwind for a peaceful night’s sleep and then when you wake up, you should have fresher, plumper looking skin.

As with the bath salts, this facial oil is also formulated with ingredients to promote relaxation and it too includes a relaxing blend of

• Lavandin which is known for its ability to create relaxation
• Valerian, known for its calming effect,
• Ylang Ylang which is known for its ability to help reduce stress and tension as well as
• Buddhawood which is known for its ability to promote balance and harmony.

When these ingredients and oils are combined they make for a very calming and centring effect. For me, my evening skincare routine is something I find quite relaxing and there is something quite calming about taking your time to look after your skin, whether it is five minutes before your head hits that pillow, to a good hour before bedtime.

I have become quite the fan of pulepoint roller balls and I have a few from many different brands, which I use for all kinds of issues.  From Aroma Active Laboratories, we have the Sleep Pulsepoint Rollerball (6ml)

Described as being an on-the-go solution to instantly calm and release tension before sleep, I use this rollerball when I am feeling slightly anxious and need to distract myself. Laying on the sofa or even in bed with my Kindle, rolling this metal ball onto my pulse points is really calming and of course, it smells just absolutely delightful.

The ingredients within this rollerball, you won't be too surprised to find also comprises of a

relaxing blend of Lavandin, Valerian, Ylang Ylang and again Buddhawood and together they work and use their properties to calm, centre, relax and just give you time out to wind down. As the rollerball is rolled over the pulse points - think behind the ears, the wrists and some also use the centre of the elbow too,take a few minutes to saviour the scent by inhaling with a count to five and then exhaling for the same time, an action you can repeat a few times over and over.

The final product within this collection is the Aroma Active Laboratories Sleep Mist (75ml) and if you have used a sleep mist before and liked them, then you will love this one.

Described as being a calming and relaxing mist to induce and improve quality of sleep, as with the rest of the products within this range, it features the very same ingredients, which are described as being a relaxing blend of Lavandin, Valerian, Ylang Ylang and again which when combined promoted their calming, soothing and centring effects.

Using this spray, the advice is to spray it onto your pillows and bed linen roughly 15 minutes before you want to drop off to sleep.  I tend to air spray it as well, just in the hope sleep does come.  As a scent, it is definitely, for me, one which is relaxing and soothing, more so as I am a bit of an insomniac and anyone who watches my instagram stories will notice I am awake at all kinds of hours.

As a range of products, I can't believe the price point. I am obsessed with the bath salts and the rollerball, but both the sleep mist and the facial oil are just a delight to use when creating a sleep routine.

Mother’s Day Gifting with Temple Spa

Mother’s Day is just a few days away and if you are still wondering what to get for yourself or for that person you lovingly call Mam, Mum, Mom, Mummy etc... Temple Spa have quite the gift offerings and I am sharing two of them with you today -Spa Retreat and My Essence.

The first gift is called Spa Retreat and it is one gift that absolutely everyone will love, it is described as being the Temple Spa top-to-toe skincare kit which includes the brands spa favourites. 

It’s aim, is to help you create a spa wherever you are. Including some of the brands favourite cleanses, masks, exfoliators and more award-winning exceptional skincare. Pretty much everything you need in one beautifully presented gift box.

This gift set contains nine of some of the best Temple Spa products I have used to date:

Contents

• IN THE BEGINNING | 15 ml - a nourishing deep facial cleanser that thoroughly cleanses and gently exfoliates leaving a clean, dewy complexion.

Whether you are a fan of the brand, curious to find out more or want to treat yourself or that special lady in your life, this is one amazing spa kit and it is priced at just £40 here.

The second product from Temple Spa is a recently launched product in the form of an Eau de Toilette. My Essence is described as being inspired by the warmth and vibrancy of the Mediterranean.

As a fragrance, I was expecting to find something that was more akin to the scent of a spa, but that wasn’t what I got at all. 

This fragrance has some beautiful notes which includes the zesty top notes of bergamot & petitgrain, blooms which opened the fragrance with quite the zing and one you immediately notice, then as it begins to settle, the heart of jasmine, neroli & rose absolute comes to life to give this fragrance the most wonderful rich floral aroma whilst not totally dismissing the citrus notes. Finally, it rests on a base of cedarwood and amber which are warm, rich, comforting and add depth to the fragrance. 

On the skin and clothes, the longevity surprised me because I wasn’t expecting it to be long lasting at all, but it does give you at least 6 hours wear time before the need to re-apply. Impressive for fragrances these days - though of course it does depend on how the fragrance sits with your own skin oils.  Priced at just £45 for 50ml here, it is a scent with a difference and definitely not one you would expect!
