Loccitane TSV 13/01/19

[Vienna]

Wow 86 quid for a foaming face wash, a tub of cream, 5ml (a teaspoon ) of serum and 3 teaspoons of eye cream.

 

[Sazza]

I think you are spot on. The whopping p&p of £7 says it all. That said I will still go for this as I rate both face and eye products highly and it does represent good value...something you can say on fewer and fewer occasions these days!

Recent Decleor TSV postage was cheaper than this and it will have been heavier than this and worth more!

Blimey, this is expensive. Luckily I don't much like Divine, and am currently using up the tiddler which came in the M&S advent calendar. Money safe! It's my birthday today but I won't be using that as an excuse to treat myself to it, so it's all good!

Have a great birthday.

Online now for those interested

I was interested until I saw the price and the p&p so it’s no from me and I am sticking to it this time.

I feel the same way, not buying after all.

Belated Happy Birthday Mazza.

I remember L'Occitane giving free small pots of Divine, I got a good 3 weeks out of it. It was a nice moisturiser but that is all I can say about. Most certainly not £80+ worth of nice.

I found the Devine cream a bit drying I think its got a retinol ingredient in it. I much prefer liz Earle super skin

I don't think they have any products with Retinol

I don't think they have any products with Retinol

I was wondering if they use a plant derivative because I when I use retinol it dries out my skin like the Devine cream does. a bit like an exfoliant but no grains...

I don't think the divine has retinol in it. The closest derivative may be retinyl palmitate, but for me that doesn't count, as it really doesn't do anything as the weakest form of Vit A. Retinyl Palmitate has been around for absolutely ages, doing nothing.

I'm confused as to why the Divine would bother/dry your skin as it's very rich, but I would add that it's rather perfumed, so maybe your skin didn't like that. The fragrances in LE are more natural & there's less of them - zero in the original SS .

Pure retinol dries/irritates almost everyone's skin. You have to be slow, patient, careful with it, & reconsider your whole routine whilst using it, for example lay off the acid if that's something that's regular to you (whilst using ret.)

Well the one last January sold out so it sold well. Even if it did have lower quantity of stock to start with compared to their other TSVs it did sell well.

Just correcting myself.......It was not last year, it was January 2017, they didn't have a Divine TSV in 2018.

 

[Silver Fox]

This is just too expensive they are talking of it lasting 3 months and the new serum is only a sample.Have they reduced the p&p to ONLY £5.95 thought it was nearly £7?Bargain?! Chloe & Alexis are in overdrive, I’m out.

Yes they have reduced the postage from £6.95 to £5.95

not for me get more comfort from the lidl organ oil night cream. now thats Devine. like it with the Decleor Iris oil in the TSV over Christmas

 

[Dream Girl]

Have only seen first few minutes of the launch.
Liked it Not! how they had all the cluttered little bits with the TSV items.
A plinth display to make the sample serum look a larger sized container.
All the tiny vases with floral sprigs to help bulk out the contents on display.
Didn’t convince me to part with the cash.
Would have had a lot more respect and thought all was needed it they had just put all the items plainly displayed with a flower bunch to either side.

To quote Alexis on her L`Occitane facebook page "Divine by name divine by nature, its not just a cream and has definitely helped me keep youth on my side, worth £167".
Well Alexis that` a matter of opinion love ...
