L'Occitane Haul

So I finally got around to finding a local L'Occitane store here in Texas and went crazy, well as much as I could let myself. Just before I went and I sold a bunch of books and that left me with some spending money (this made my husband very, very happy.) So what all did I get?

L'Occitane Lavender Hand Cream

L'Occitane Lavender Hand Cream

I never heard of this brand before and I had reservations about the lavender smell. But I have found that is one of my favorite hand creams I have ever tried. It has a pleasant scent and it is not greasy at all. It absorbs into my skin really quickly and I now keep a tube in my night stand and use it nightly. I honestly can say I have fallen in love with this French company and I plan on going to one of their actual stores really soon. Hopefully I can visit one of the stores in France when we visit Paris next year.

Final opinion: I will be buying this and stocking up whenever I can!

CEW Insiders' Choice Beauty Box

This box is packed with so much stuff I couldn't actually believe it, not everything is high end product but most of it is stuff I wouldn't have tried just browsing at my local drug store. Several of the items included things I was really wanted to try but couldn't justify the price point (what if I didn't like it?) Other items I wasn't too sure about until I could try them. I think the best part of this box is that most of these items can be picked up at your local drugstore and the prices aren't too bad.

So here is what was in the box:
