L'Occitane Immortelle Collection - new additions and reformulation...

These products were kindly gifted to me, without obligation, however I buy as much, if not more than, I receive.

It's no secret here on the blog that I'm a HUGE fan of L'Occitane - bodycare, fragrance, skincare and more! I've been using the brand since 2006, where the love affair started with the Verbena range. If you are new to the brand, I would highly recommend buying one of their Advent Calendars because you get such a variety of products in there and the sizes are generous enough for you to figure out what really works for you. I have gone on to recommend the brand to so many people (who are also now massive fans), and love not just the products, but their ethos. They are committed to fair trade and sustainability.  All of the fragranced products instantly transport me to another time because they smell so authentic and I spent so much time with my Granda in his garden when I was growing up. He was a landscape gardener by trade and his garden encompassed between 3 and 4 acres, and he really did have the gift of green fingers and because scent is the sense that is strongest for me, I can relive my childhood and early adult years through the brand. I've posted previously about the Immortelle range, which is harvested in Corsica and the products are then distilled in Provence. It's through this distillation process that the unique super extract is extracted, which is used in the products. The Immortelle Divine moisturiser has been recently updated to be even more effective in terms of brightening the skin, collagen production and anti-oxidant protection. New products have also been added to the line. I want to share my thoughts with you today...

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask Review (and a discount code!)

This was kindly gifted to me, without obligation.

This post has been a long time coming, purely because my pigmentation gets worse in summer so I wanted to take a photo of my worst patch in Spring and another when Autumn was kicking in to give a full picture of the changes. I have seen a lot of people use the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask on Instastories and what always appealed to me was the shape. Some LED masks are very structured whereas this fits around your face and accommodates all face shapes and sizes, so when I was given the opportunity to try it, I jumped at the chance! This was very kindly gifted to me, but as with all of my reviews, my opinion is entirely honest and you will see the results in the photos. If you  want to buy this or any of the CurrentBody products, I have a 15% discount code for you - enter LYMINCB at the checkout to avail of this (I have my eye on a few other products for the eyes, hands and neck and with expensive products, it's always great to have a discount!).

My Autumn skincare switch up....

My Autumn skincare switch up
Anything marked with a * was kindly gifted to me, without obligation. I am part of the Dermalogica #skinfluencer programme and receive products as part of that.

I change my skincare seasonally to adjust to whatever my skin needs. I don't necessarily change everything at once but I do find myself gradually introducing new items as the weather gets cooler and the heating is turned on. As I write this, the weather is unseasonably warm but I have made some changes over the past 5/6 weeks and will continue to do so as I'm also testing other products. So, let's get into it...
