L’Occitane TSV 20/11/22

[ClaireKelly]

I too am guilty of stashing away Aldi handwashes. Can't beat them in my opinion. I'm a bit sneaky and decant rhubarb and rose into an empty Molton Brown bottle!! The compliments I get On the smell!!!! I love all of Aldis scents apart from the Christmas one, don't do cinnamon or spice - is the mulberry one spicy Claire k??

No not spicy at all, just fresh and smells like a cold winters day…. It really is lovely. Give it a go!

Everyone raves about L'Occitane hand cream well, I found an M&S range Provenance 75mls £4 a tube. Rich, not greasy or tacky comes in 3 fragrances, Blood Orange, Greek Olive and another which I cannot remember. It is 97% natural, vegan has the bunny logo and 72 hours of moisture. I am very impressed with!

I will try Provenance. In the current, I am looking for good alternatives that don’t cost the earth.

I have a gorgeous Neroli one from M&S its gorgeous. The only little niggle was the cream was runny so a pain to bring out and about with me in my hand bag

 

[Cashers]

Does Alexis ever come up for air??? Dear god, does she love the sound of her own voice, to be honest, I don't know why I'm watching anyway, don't even like L'Occitane anymore!

Well this must be the most disappointing Loccitane TSV to date! I really don’t think QVC are offering any value! Really you’re looking a three products because the three smaller items you get better free/completely gifts direct from Loccitane with the baubles. Then they usually have 20/25% off full price items on Black Friday direct. Probably the reason they’ve scheduled this before. Plus you can pick everything you like in a collection. Its almost a £60 TSV when you take P&P into account. This would have had to be around £35/40 to represent value.

i think its a fantastic tsv & i know lots of others do too & most have bought at least 2 different options & great value & if i was in the market for buying them for mum there is at least 2 options i would of bought her too

It might be a good TSV for you but I don’t think it represents good value…just my opinion.

Not a patch on last years equivalent.
Even the stocking is inferior.

 

[Silver Fox]

It seems ‘Groundhog Day’? I do use l’Occ. handwashes and soap ( have enough of that to see me into the next century, when I won’t be using soap anyway) not interested in the hand cream. Great if you want to split up for gifts, value?Another brand I would never miss out on , now much more selective.What can I spend my money on, oh yes, gas & electric!

Did anyone see Jill Franks wearing the secret santa gift sack as a hat?
The bag looks like last year's TSV bag...
She won't be doing that with the really cheap looking stocking!

I agree, I can't watch her anymore. The only L'Occitane I use now is the hand soaps. I found the hand cream far too greasy.

Reviews on QVC saying the bag is not as good as last year's one.

The reviews seem very mixed on the TSV, the 2-star ones are back

Just read. Very balanced reviews stating clearly why they feel it’s a bit samey and a cobbled together TSV.

 

[Rowan]

I couldn’t stop staring at the multi coloured monstrosity Jill Franks was wearing. Where on earth does she buy these horrors?

 

[SisterBliss]

I am holding out for the Neom TSV, I am just hoping that is not a disappointment as well.

What? Another? What do you know?

Beautiful beginnings - the hills of Haute-Provence in southern France offered a great source of inspiration to the founders of L'Occitane and still provide a plentiful selection of natural produce and extracts to enrich its pampering range of beauty products.

Exception to the rule - L'Occitane has a Provence-only rule, but when it comes to special ingredients like shea butter, it makes an exception. The women of Burkina Faso have been using shea butter for centuries to pamper their hair and skin so L'Occitane have teamed up with them to create a fair trade supply chain that delivers supreme quality shea butter to your beauty routine.

All about almond - discover the power of Provencal almonds, renowned for their subtle, mouth-watering scent and skin-loving properties in L'Occitane's Almond Collection. Formulated with oils and milks from this phenomenal nut harvested from trees in the south of France, these rich and indulgent formulas are sure to refresh, cleanse and calm your body and mind.

I got the Vanilla Amber shower gel in our local L'Occitane shop a couple of weeks ago. I went in to look for some shower gel and commented on the smell,they had a diffuser going and it was a lovely warming smell.

Claude's OK. I think Alan has a softer side to him though when he doesn't just sack all the Apprentices on the first show. The contestants get more ridiculous every time it's on.

...And unpleasant.......deluded narcissists.

Speaking of.....DF reckoned she'd go on there once.

 

[Patsy]

I am sure that the easy pays will help but I am not tempted now, it does appear cobbled together and can't say am struck on the hand wash, don't think much of the scents i have tried and tbh get fed up of using one halfway through when they are 500ml will stick to my cheap Aldi ones and the little MB stash I have, might be tempted with the Harry Slatkin tsv instead

I buy the half litre bottles of hand wash from TK Maxx. £3.99 or £4.99 and I've had some really lovely ones.
Got my sister and friends Christmas presents and will pop one with each to balance the amount I budget for.

 

[SisterBliss]

Bum, took me ages to do the ml for ml, had email saying options worth £110 , £110 & £98.50 respectively.
I will leave ml for ml as is, it’s only slightly out, although that will probably bug me all day!
Hope no one minds.

Bum!!! Bum!!!

BTW, I mind! Haaaa!

Well SCW says it will sell well without the addition of a body butter. So all is not lost.

naughty.........

Sid James somebody on twitter said and he shared the tweet a while back

Strangely, the last series, AS had indulged in very very subtle filler of his deep furrows (see also G. Ramsey) Remember he has a Cosmetic Doctor business now.

I do enjoy your shopping recs, V.

The thing is, Mr CC does the shopping and not only does he not go to Aldi (he likes the Asda cafe) but even if he did the last thing he'd buy would be handwashes (just call him soapy). Is it time I did my own shopping? Hmmmm nahhhh, maybe? nahhhh

CC

Mr B does our shopping also. I take too long apparently.
Actually, we went to Waitrose once over lockdown, he waited outside with Obie. Obie likes to sniff in everyone's shopping as they exit the store & because he's a rather handsome ESS, he gets away with it. I digress. I got over excited in health & beauty aisle & spent £20.00 on toothpaste alone, & little on food -this was before mad inflation. He now does the shopping, At Aldi.

Strangely, there are a lot of ready to eat pie/pasty wrappers appearing in my runabout lately......
Candy, check the car hidey holes for biscuit/pie wrappers after Soaps (!) shopping trip. DYSWIDT?

No not spicy at all, just fresh and smells like a cold winters day…. It really is lovely. Give it a go!

Sounds nice. My problem is that if I buy a nice smelling hand wash Mr B goes nuts with it. He did this with the R & R one & gave himself contact dermatitis. This only happens with the washes that smell like food.
Just watch out for the SLS content if you live with a bear, like me. Make that 2 bears actually, including buttie guzzler Obie.

I love Lavender and miss the shay and blue Suffolk lavender. Off to have a look, thanks for sharing.
