Originally published in October 2020. Looking back at this post, the content still holds true for me. I love these skincare brands even today and the ones listed here are some of the best products I have used. Definitely recommend all of these to you!

luxury beauty products, skincare brands, kama ayurveda, loccitane, the body shop — Some of my Favorite Products!

Well, I have loved skin care and trying out new skincare brands and their products and will probably continue to do so though not with the same fervor. In my 20’s, I wanted to try out all the new things. Now, my life is settled into a more mellow pace and combined with my need to enjoy what I apply and to compensate for my laziness, my list is limited to only serums and body butters.

I have never been a big fan of applying too many products but I did practice it religiously for sometime. Later, I cut out creams from my routine, slowly got rid of exfoliants as they started hurting my skin and now I have not applied any face mask for probably more than two years.

I just wash my face and apply a serum. I have even cut out the fancy vitamin C and hyaluronic acids and everything, for me it is just an all purpose serum which I can apply anytime of the day. That’s why I like to splurge on a good serum and I would definitely like to try out the best ones in the world.

Beauty Products I would love to Repurchase

Swathy · March 22, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Are you a brand loyalist or you like to try out new products? If you ask me, the moment I get to know about a new brand or hear a rave, I want to try out all of their ranges which tempt me. But, then, over the years, I did come across a few products which I would like to repurchase or have either repurchased. So, here is my list of those products.

1. L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil – This featured in my luxury products list and I absolutely love it! I took almost a year and half to finish the bottle I got and I am in love with it. I want it again and I would definitely love to try out the other shower oils with the brand as well.

2. L’Occitane Shea Body Corps – After falling in love with almond shower oil, I had to try another bestseller from them. I am still half way on the first tub and this is amazing. I am not sure how well it will do for summers but for winters, this is the one I want. A disappointing fact about this product is that it is very medicinal, like betnovate ointment but I like it anyhow.

L’Occitane Immortelle 28 Day Divine Renewal Program

Which is your favorite international airport to buy beauty products? I have found that different airports offer different pricing and not all are cheaper. I got the L’Occitane divine renewal program at 100$ at Dubai duty free though it was priced at 140$ during that time on all websites.

L’Occitane Immortelle 28 Day Divine Renewal Program

Price: Rs 10,300 (~160$)

If you have been following me for long, I am crazy about facial oils and if you talk about something which is going to revamp the skin, I am all up for it. And, when it comes from an exotic flower named immortelle, it is more than difficult to resist the temptation.

I did the divine renewal program at the very same time last year. This post has been long pending. Unfortunately, my experience with the immortelle divine did not become immortal. The product has a lot of drawbacks for the expense it comes with.
