I love everything about this body cream. The texture is rich, buttery and deeply nourishing, yet it melts into the skin beautifully without any stickiness or tackiness. My skin feels instantly comforted, soft and hydrated for hours, even overnight!
The scent is sophisticated and subtle; present but never overpowering which makes it feel truly luxurious and perfect for daily use. The packaging also deserves a mention; a heavy glass jar that feels elegant and indulgent every time I open it.
Bonus points for the refill option which makes repurchasing even better. This is one of those products that turns a simple routine into a treat. Worth every bit.

I’ve been using the Express Multi-Action cream for a few weeks now and I’m honestly impressed by how much it simplifies my routine. The texture is creamy but lightweight, it absorbs quickly and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated without any greasy residue. I like that I can use it all over - face, neck and even around my eyes which makes my routine so much easier.
I’ve noticed my skin looking a bit plumper and more even and my makeup sits nicely on top without pilling. The only thing I’d mention is that it does have a noticeable fragrance, which might not work for those who are sensitive to scents. Overall, this has become a go-to cream for me when I want something effective and streamlined.

I absolutely love this mist! The almond scent is soft, comforting and not overpowering. It lingers beautifully on both hair and skin without feeling heavy or sticky. It’s perfect for refreshing throughout the day or layering with other almond products from L’Occitane for that signature cozy scent. I especially like that it works on hair too; it leaves mine lightly fragranced without drying it out. The packaging is sleek and travel-friendly, making it easy to toss in my bag. If you love warm, slightly sweet almond scents, this is a must have!

The texture feels rich but absorbs beautifully, giving my skin that instant plump, cushioned feeling without being greasy. On days when my skin looks dull and feels tired, this cream really helps bring back that bounce. My skin always look healthier and dare I say firmer in the mornings.
That said, I’ve noticed it can pill under certain sunscreens and makeup so I find it works best as a night cream where it can really do its job without interference.
Overall, it’s a decent pick if you’re looking for a great evening moisturiser to support elasticity and general skin health.

I wish this came in a bigger bottle! It’s such an amazing body oil and the scent is heavenly.
Initially I was worried that the oil was filled with glitter but the shimmers were soft, sophisticated and made my skin glow like no other. The shimmer didn’t transferred onto clothes which was a huge bonus. The oil itself was super lightweight, hydrating and absorbed quickly into the skin.
I am addicted to this body oil and highly recommend it to everyone!

Absolutely love the formula! It’s thin, blends like a dream and gives an instant brightening effect. It doesn’t crease nor does it highlight my fine lines. The finish is very natural, and there are days I get away with only using this.
Now to the con, I HATE the packaging. The brush/wand picks up too much product and creates wastage. The tube gets messy after a couple of uses. I wish Vasanti has a better packaging for this.
In short, amazing formula but terrible packaging.

A little background on my hair type; it’s short, chin length virgin hair. I don’t use styling products, just leave in conditioner or hair oil.
My biggest problem with this shampoo was the lather felt flat. I do understand it’s a creamy lather and sulfate free but I have been using sulfate free shampoo for many years and none fall short as this. It didn’t clean my hair well or at least not to my satisfaction. I train martial arts 4 times a week so I wash my hair almost every day andI have to use twice as much with this shampoo. Often I have to wash my hair twice to feel clean.
Sorry OGX, I loved your other range but this was a dud.

This was another dud to me. Everything about this hair serum sounds promising and I was excited to use it. First off, the gel texture made it hard to disperse evenly to the hair. Secondly, it has an odd silicone-y feel to it and left my hair feeling weird, there was a coating on and all I wanted to do was it off.
Unfortunately this was not for me.

A little background on my hair type; it’s short, chin length virgin hair. I don’t use styling products, just leave in conditioner or hair oil.
This was an okay conditioner. My hair feels smooth after rinsing and drying. I felt I had to use lots of product to properly condition my hair. For some reason it doesn’t really feel like anything when applied on wet hair.
I will finish this bottle but won’t repurchase.

What a cute duo! First off, love the hair quiz, super easy to answer and the recommendation is pretty spot on.
Let’s talk about the positives. I appreciate the container as it made storing and drying the product without any mess. There are holes at the bottom which so the bars are dried and stored properly in it. I wish all bar haircare comes with something like this.
I also love the shampoo, it lathered really well and did an amazing job at cleansing my hair. Bonus, it rinsed off easily!
Now to the not so good part, I am not a fan of the conditioner. It was really tricky to use. I tried running it under water in between my hands and it felt like nothing. Then I tried rubbing it through my wet hair and it also felt like I’m not getting anything. What I was successful in was dropping the bar onto the shower floor 3 times. So this was a no for me. I’m sure there is a better and easier way to use this conditioner but I’m not a fan so far.
Will purchase the full size in a heartbeat but the conditioner is not for me.
