L'occitane Amande (Almond) Bodycare range 

Almond Shower Oil
Basically a body wash but in oil form, very soothing but doesn't lather up very much (its not designed to) which takes some getting used to as I expect bath products to create bubbles. I do find that I have to use quite a bit of product which isn't that great considering the price point but OMG the scent makes it worth it, its totally indescribable so I won't even try but… wow. The only thing I would say is that neither the moisture or the scent seem to linger on the skin for very long which is quite sad.

Almond Milk Veil
I bought this as a cheaper alternative to the Velvet Balm, it is instantly moisturising, its ultra light and soaks in straight away, again the scent doesn't really linger for very long and of course this is a lotion so its not heavily hydrating, just a light moisturiser. It is also worth noting that this has tiny little glitter particles in it.

Almond Delicious Soap
I love love love this, it has the same beautiful scent of course, it contains crushed almond shells which exfoliate the skin and leave it super soft, getting rid of dead skin cells and stimulates the skin microcirculation. This is quite an intense exfoliator so if you prefer something gentle, this isn't for you, but it is amazing and this little bar lasted a really long time too.

Supple Skin Oil (sample)
This is a very lightweight, almost dry oil which literally leaves the skin feeling so soft, dries in well so no worries about transfer on clothes or anything, and best of all the scent actually stay on the skin with this product.

Velvet Balm (sample)
This is literally as described, its a cream/balm in the tub but once it goes onto the skin it turns into velvet, leaves the skin feeling soft and smelling great all night.

Have you tried anything from the range? I highly recommend everything I have tried so far.

I was in my local TK Maxx recently and there seemed to be such great brands on offer, they had the Nails Inc Alexa Chung sets of 6 for £24.99, Bare Minerals 8 piece set for £24.99, loads of different haircare and skincare bargains, individuals products by brands such as Shiseido, Essie, O.P.I, Illamasqua and more so I ended up leaving with a pretty big load, heres what I picked up.

L'oreal Volumetry spray £2.99 (rrp @10.99)

Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover £3.99 (rrp £7.99)

James Reed Clear Bronzing Mist £6 (rrp £24.99)

Just to give you a quick idea of how amazing the savings are here, my total spend was £51.91, the total RRP was £172.91, so the total savings are £121. How impressive is that? If you haven't been to your local TK Maxx lately, it is definitely worth the trip.

Burberry Flesh Glow Highlighting Luminous Pen shade 01 Nude Radiance £25

As soon as I spotted these babies on instagram I knew upon launch date they would be mine, I actually decided just to order the Highlighter pen but I am going to pick up the contour pen too now. This is a lovely new addition to the already perfect Burberry Beauty range, this, a contour pen (in 2 shades) and the Cashmere Concealer launched last month and I was only too happy to give this a try since I have recently picked up the liquid primer version which is super natural healthy skin in a bottle and I love it.

This is practically the exact same thing but in solid form, I read one review which said it was basically a waste of money because it was almost undetectable, but I actually think that is the point here, this is not for the strobing queen this is just for those girls who like a subtle highlight that looks natural and youthful and I think this is great, it really reminds me of the Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Duo 4 Candlelight highlighter in cream form, very similar effect. I think although this is subtle you can still immediately see the difference upon application, it is ultra easy to apply because of the stick form and blends perfectly without upsetting foundation (I wouldn't use after powder just incase- I never know how girls get away with doing the liquid/cream after powder thing???). Its pretty pricey but that is what you expect for high end, the packaging is gorgeous of course and to be honest you do actually get a fair amount of product when you consider how much you actually use at one time, it should last a good while. I really like this product and if you are someone with oily skin or just someone who doesn't want to much glow, this is perfect.

Have you tried any of these items?
