L’Occitane Skincare Giveaway

L’Occitane En Provence is not your average beauty product company. That’s because not only are their products natural and made with organic ingredients, they give you the full story about where each of these ingredients comes from. For instance, the Ultra Comforting skincare products, what we’re giving away here, are made with organic shea butter harvested just for L’Occitane in Burkina Faso. Women’s collectives gather and prepare the shea butter, while L’Occitane sees to it the women receive fair pricing and even child care. L’Occitane provides the true story behind all their products, including video, so customers can see for themselves the processes involved. (See this video on harvesting of shea butter.)

L’Occitane is offering one lucky dkMommy Spot reader $98 worth of their Ultra Comforting line! Included in this set is one Ultra Comforting Cleansing Milk ($22 retail), one Ultra Comforting Serum ($38 retail), and one Ultra Comforting Cream ($38 retail). The Ultra Comforting line is perfect for normal to sensitive skin and has minimal ingredients, no perfumes, colorants, alcohols, or preservatives.

3 Ways to Enter:

1.) Leave a comment after visiting the L’Occitane site. Tell me about a product there that interests you, or you can tell me something you like about the site in general. (Winners are chosen at random, but if the first winner selected does not claim the prize, the second winner is chosen based on comment originality. So have fun with your comment!)

2.) Subscribers are automatically entered into this and all future giveaways. Just click here: Subscribe to dkMommy Spot by Email (Please make sure to verify your Feedburner subscription by responding to the email they send you. If you don’t receive it, check your junk mail.)

3.) Blog about this giveaway on your blog with a link back to this post.

Do all three, and you’ve got three entries to win! You have until midnight EST on Thursday, June 19, 2008, to enter.

Melanie Lee:

I absolutely love the A-Z listing of ingredients! They have a drawing of the particular plant species, a little traditon, its properties and the uses. If you see a product on their site with an ingredient like Angelica you can look it up and find out some interesting facts. I found this under the listing:
Legend has it that the Archangel Raphael brought an angelica root to Charlemagne, emperor of the Occident, to save his army which was ill with the plague. It was also thanks to angelica powder that Paracelsus, a doctor of the Renaissance, succeeded in stemming the major plague epidemics of 1510.
Sounds like pretty powerful stuff!
This is a very nice option to have right there on the site.

Shea Butter Extra Gentle Soap - Verbena 8.8 oz
$10.00

I didn’t have far too look. Know how I met this soap? A friend stayed in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and brought me back the little room gifties. I have been addicted to Occitanes Verbena shea butter soap ever since. Of course, the hotel only gave little bars, and I love the huge 8.8 oz ones that last for MONTHS. Hey, I have a dinky apartment with a shower in the kitchen, but when I use my fancy soap, the one that every visiting movie star uses at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, I have five minutes of glamor in the water.

I used the shower gel one morning before breakfast and it smelled like lemon cream pie. It smelled so good it made me hungry.
