Pink. Peonies. Pink. Jem. Yup, that makes a total sense! When I recently had an opportunity to collaborate with L’Occitaine, my heart is set on their Peony Perfecting Collection. Not only is it pink but because peony is a velvety petal suitable for a perfect-looking skin.

More than Just Peonies
I am also in love with these two other products from L’Occitaine. I love shower gels but I’ve never tried shower oil before and hey! it only makes sense since my skin has always been so dry and it doesn’t help that I am not a big fan of body lotions (I know… I know…).
Almond Shower Oil (Retail CAD for $24): Silky textured shower oil that hydrates and tones the skin. It foams up when in contact with water, creating a luxurious lather and gives the skin a satiny softness and a delicious, sugary scent.
Next up, this limited edition Verbena Eau de Toilette (Retail CAD for $58). Among all the aromatic herbs that grow along the paths of Provence, there is one whose lemony freshness revives the body and mind. Its name is Verbena. When baskets are piled high with freshly harvested green verbena leaves, its distinctive fragrance fills the air around the markets of Provence. Enriched with an organic verbena extract from Provence, the Verbena Eau de Toilette is a sparkling fragrance with a universal freshness.
Inside Scoop
These products are so lovely and smell irresistible. Depending on your skin type, you may need to use more or less. I’ve tested this and I need to alternate the scrub every other day and the toner daily. However, to some people they may need to use this daily. The collection is meant to hydrate your skin so be sure that it isn’t drying your skin out. If it is, you’ll see it immediately and you just have to adjust your usage.
Tempted to try it? Head over L’Occitane.ca for more collections. They currently have web exclusive: global favourites promo for only $20 with any $45 Purchase. Simply use code: Chouschous.
*Update: They’ve added two new items to the peony collection to purify and mattify your skin. This two I haven’t tried so I can’t speak for it.
