Whats with all the hand cream in TSV'S lately, we are not centipides Q another one I won't be buying.

 

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

wouldnt mind the 150ml hand cream for my mum for christmas but thats about it

The soap is not showing in the photos!

I noticed that too.

 

[Vienna]

No I`m not interested in this tsv. I love hand cream but have enough stockpiled and this tsv is a tad overkill on the stuff.

The brand has changed so much since it first appeared. I remember, before they had dedicated hours, there'd be an odd item during the "In the Salon" hours: the solid shea butter in a tin, the hand & foot creams and the hand peel which rolled off in bits (like Decleor's phytopeel). Followed by Alison, back-peddling on her ban on facial soaps when the L'Occy soaps needed selling!

 

[Mazza]

Those 10ml hand and foot creams are just a nonsense. They go so quickly it seems a complete nonsense to me to count them as individual items in the count! I use hand cream at least twice a day so am always happy to get some but these are hardly worth encasing in the tube!! I wish the Shea body lotion would make an appearance in full or super size, I love that!

I am sooooo easily tempted by L'Occy but I shall try to resist and hit their post Xmas sale again.

The tins looked gorgeous though!

its ok but why not put a body cream in full size rather than the samples/ also not sold on the bath stuff

 

[boffy]

also there was not supposed to be an almond tsv

Alexis said there would be no Almond TSV in 2015.

I also don't think she/they would class this as an 'Almond TSV' as it's only featuring an almond product.

I love L'Occitane, but I honestly don't think I will be getting this TSV. I don't need any soap, hand cream or shower gel - I have a lot of all of these already that I need to use up.

All of the products, in both sets, I use and some I really like the idea of i.e. the Almond hand cream, the shea foaming bath & the rose shower gel though. I love the tin too.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Would have liked a bigger Foot cream for starters.

Boring TSV, i wont be buying, People were moaning about the Elemis Tsv well this one has even smaller sizes (10mls) lol

 

[boffy]

i like it but not totally. the floral has shower gel rather than bubble bath in the warm collection

I am registered with L'Occitane as a VIP member (anyone can be just give them your email address). I bought 3 mens sets for my hubby and brothers for Christmas. Because I was a VIP I received a set for £15 that should have been a lot more. I also received 2 free sets. Then because they got part of my order wrong they sent me a lovely tin with 3 little hand creams in to say sorry. In total I was given (£15 extra spend)
-50 ml shea ultra rich shower cream
-75 ml Almond shower oil
- 50 ml precious cleansing foam
-Full size Bonne Mere Almond soap
- 2 x 10ml tubes Almond delicious hand cream
-50ml Tube Jasmin & Bergamote Body Milk
-7.5 ml Jasmin & Bergamote Eau de Toilette
-50ml Neroli & Orchidee Body Milk
7.5 ml Neroli & Orchidee Eau de Toilette
-8ml pot Precious cream
-8ml pot Divine cream
-10ml tube Arlesienne hand cream (the new one)
-10ml tube cherry blossom hand cream
-10ml tube shea hand cream
-yet another 10ml tube Almond delicious hand cream.
-4 free samples of my choice
-2 cotton bags in different designs and good quality.
-nice little tin for the hand cream

Not bad, eh! Oh and my husband's gift set had £10 off because of a voucher I had.

The mens gift sets are really nice too.I have to say the womens Christmas gift sets this year aren't very impressive online or in stores but just buying gifts for the men in my life gave me all of the above to treat myself with.

Suffice to say I am not going for the TSV this time. I got the Fleur Cherie gift set from Q though.

Edit: The gifts were obtained in 2 seperate orders online and one store visit using the cards they send in the post as a VIP member. I did not receive it all in one transaction but only a week or so apart.

i have been a vip member for many years and its great to get the discounts and cheap/free gifts. they do it randomly though but i love thier flash sales as you can stock up very cheaply on everyday stuff. you can collect at your local store so no postage to pay.

makes the tsv's less promising

I am going to treat myself to the floral version. I don't think it's a bad Tsv this year. I have redundancy looming on the horizon next year so am going to stock up on my favourites while I can afford them. I will have to be cutting back at some point so I may as well try and stock pile a bit.
