summer glow!

full disclaimer that i received this product for review!
i'm quite familiar with l'occitane's almond shower oil- i love that their new body oil has a touch of shimmer & glow- it feels so lush and moisturizing for the summer! i will say, that just like the original, the almond scent is quite strong- if you're sensitive to scents then this will likely be too much to handle

I want to bathe in this!!

I’m Obsessed with this L’Occitane Almond Shimmering Oil. It really does absorbe quickly into the skin! Leaves my skin feeling so so nourished and so soft!! with a beautiful subtle veil of shimmer I will say I was expecting the shimmer to be less subtle .. I could use moreeee shimmer but it’s amazing for everyday as it’s not GLITTERY and in your face! NOW… THE SMELL.. THE SMELL IS AMAZING!! 🤤 I want everything in my life to smell like this!!

Glittery and nice packaging

The packaging is so pretty! It’s glass and feels like it’s made of good quality. You have to squirt some on your hands and then rub it and apply. I just squirt it directly on my skin and then rub which was a bit more messy.

Sparkle all day

I find this product to be very good! It looks very pretty in the bottle! It adds a nice subtle sparkle to the skin. The only thing is I would not recommend using immediately after getting a self tan because the oil that accumulated in my inner elbow was kinda coloured by my tan.

Soft glow, luxe scent, but slightly greasy

I was really excited to try L’Occitane’s Shimmering Almond Oil for that effortless summer glow. In the bottle, it looks absolutely beautiful — golden, radiant, and full of promise. On the skin, the shimmer is much more subtle. It catches the light nicely in the sun, but I was hoping for a bit more visible glow like what you see in the packaging.

The scent is lovely. It’s lightly sweet with that signature almond warmth. It isn’t overpowering and blends nicely with perfume, which I really appreciated.

The texture is where it fell short for me. While it does leave the skin feeling soft and hydrated, I found it a little too greasy. It didn’t fully absorb and tended to sit on top of the skin, which led to some transfer.

Overall, this is a luxurious product with a soft shimmer and a beautiful scent. It’s probably best for days when you want to feel extra pampered and don’t mind a bit of residue. Not something I’d use every day, but definitely a treat for the senses.

So pretty!

I didn’t give 5 stars because I wish the almond scent was as strong as the other products in their collection, but the glow on my skin is so pretty! It also feels great and non-greasy which I’m impressed with

Shimmer and Shinr

It's a great body oil that smells awesome and as a bonus gives your skin a beautiful shimmer. It comes in a spray bottle so it's easy to apply. I did find the bottle to be on the heavier side.

Very soft glow

I really love how soft and lightweight this glow oil feels on my skin. It gives me that nice, natural shimmer without feeling sticky or heavy. The scent is also really nice and not overpowering at all. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I wish the glow lasted a bit longer during the day, but overall it’s so good for that soft, radiant look.

Cozy and Comforting

Love the L’Occitane Almond line, it smells so good. The almond scent is not too sickly sweet or a true gourmand but a more balanced sweet, floral and cozy scent. It’s warm cozy and comforting!! I think it’s perfect for year round wear.

The oil absorbs into my skin fast, which is great because I don’t want the product transferring on to my clothes and staining it!

The oil leaves makes my skin soft, supp and hydrated and I love how the shimmer is very subtle and not overly dramatic. Makes my skin have a natural glow! However it does leave some glitters on clothes though.

New favorite body care

I loooove the almond body oil! The almond scent is fresh and light and comforting. This body oil provides my skin with moisture without being greasy, plus the bonus glow effect! My skin stayed moisturized for hours!
