L'Occitane - Shea Butter Nail and Cuticle Cream

September 4th 2006 06:19
Never shop under the influence of alcohol


Sucked into another consumer market frenzy, I happily trodded to the Westfield Bondi Junction VIP Night where shoppers were fed an endless array of free fondues, cupcakes, and champagne. As the sugar and alcohol level is our bloodstreams were adjusted to the optimal level, the shops opened their doors and bombarded us with sales signs of every colour. Oh the glitter blinded me. So why I ended up spending next week's lunch money on a belt still puzzles me.


L'Occitane en Provence of course, wouldn't never miss out on this crazed promotional frenzy. They had set up their own little stall where shop assistants greeted with those eerily jovial smiles plastered across their happy cheeks but with eyes which beg to be let out of this late night hell hole. But hey, they offered a free hand massage with a heap of products to smother all over your hand. So I smiled back.

After throwing a basket of goods at me, my hand has been lathered, massaged, scrubbed, rubbed, and even painted, before I'd forgotten which glob came out of which tube. The product which stood out however, was their shea butter hand and cuticle cream. The shea butter is derived from the shea nut apparently, and Africans rubbed it on their babies. From memory, African babies had pretty nifty skin when they're well-fed. So this thing is worth a try I suppose.




At $34.00, it's not such a bad price considering the tiny amount you need every time. On a cotton tip with a delicate touch, a teeny bit can be placed at the bottom of each nail and rubbed in until absorbed. All those horrid winter flakes disappeared and my nails almost smiled back a thank you.

Well my friend is and she dragged me along.
But they don't check for ID, so you can just saunter in. It's really very liberal

I didnt know they do that... sounds like fun times!

I hate spending money on beauty products but that sounds like a must-have, particularly with my cuticles!
