L’Occitane is a bath & beauty company from southern France that was started in 1976. They have a good following and has been around for some time now. Anything French to me is worth checking out. But I have not tried any of their products because everything is so expensive! Once in a while I do like to spurge on beauty products just to see if I’m missing out on anything.

So I tried the Amande (Almond) Shower line. It includes the Amande Delicious paste, Amande soap, and Amande Shower Oil. I have only tried the shower oil and the paste. I like the paste as it’s in a jar and has ground almonds in it. It works like a body scrub and leaves your skin soft and smooth. It has a nice almond floral scent too. Most floral scents are too much for me and could trigger a headache, but this one was on the lighter side.
The shower oil was more like a cream that takes forever to rinse off. I didn’t use the shower oil with a puff, but applied it with my hand. There weren’t any bubbles at all. The fun thing about showers for me is the bubbles, even small ones. I then decided to use it as shaving cream for my legs. This worked great as the almond oil created a smooth glide and is very moisturizing.
