Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil vs L'Occitane Shea Butter Cleansing Oil

Hey everyone! I am a big fan of cleansing oils and they do a great job at removing my makeup at the end of the day! I wanted to take the two that I currently have in my bathroom and put them to the test!


Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil: This was great to use and the packaging feels very luxurious! It did a great job at breaking down and removing my makeup. It broke down my liquid lipstick as well as my longwear, waterproof foundation no problem. You want to massage the product into the skin for 10 seconds and then rinse off with warm water. The directions advise you to use a quarter sized amount of product. It has a very light scent to it that is rather pleasant.


L'Occitane Shea Butter Cleansing Oil: I was actually very impressed with this product! I love that you can lock the pump when you are traveling or just not using it. I did have to use quite a bit of product to take off my makeup but that didn't deter me from using it because this product does a great job at removing everything on my face! It felt skin-like when almost every trace of makeup was gone and barely any makeup came off on my makeup wipe that I use after cleansing my face. It has a nice light shea butter scent to it and I would agree that it is a silky formula. It does in-fact transform into a milky lotion while you are cleansing your face and you are supposed to massage the oil into your face first. Then you go in with the warm water to get that milky lotion consistency. 


There is 5% shea butter in the formula and this is a great foolproof makeup remover. It is perfect for those long days or long nights for when you want to grab a product that will do the work for you and effortlessly remove your makeup. It easily breaks down eye makeup, removed my long wearing liquid lipstick instantly and took off both my drawn on brows as well as my longwear, waterproof foundation with ease. 

This is definitely one that you can count on and it did not make my face feel greasy afterwards. I am extremely oily and my face felt fresh as well as clean after using it. There was no excess oil whatsoever and my face did not feel tight. This would be a great product for those of you with dry skin out there! The only con is that there is an extremely short shelf life on this bottle as well as the full sized version which is 3 months. Basically, you have to stick to using this product fairly regularly and not leave in the back of your cupboard otherwise, it will expire resulting you to throw it out.

Where To Purchase & Size
You can purchase Tatcha on the Sephora website and it comes in two different sizes. The travel sized version is 0.8 oz/24 ml that retails for $18 and the larger size has 5.1 oz/150 ml of product going for $58. The Shea Butter Cleansing Oil is sold at L'Occitane and you can purchase a 200 ml bottle for $28 either online or in-store.

Which Product Wins?
I honestly enjoyed using both of these and they are equally as effective. They do most of the work for you and I could use these interchangeably. I would be happy to use either one but if price is your main concern, just know that Tatcha one is most expensive but  they do have an amazing program in place. Tatcha has partnered with the Room To Read Girls' Education program and if you purchase a skincare item from the brand, your purchase will go towards a good cause to help these girls have a brighter future.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

L'Occitane Free Gift Trio

Hey everyone! I stopped in at my local L'Occitane store yesterday and wanted to share with you what I received inside my little gift box!


They are having a promotion for those who signed-up online to receive their newsletter (there was an 8 day window from February 1st-9th.) If you already received your email, you can redeem your own box in-store that contains 3 travel sized items! The best part is that you were able to refer friends as well as family members to spread the love! They also gave me a unique code for $10 off my next purchase of $35 or more which was unexpected but appreciated. I posted my unique code here for whoever wants to save $10 off their next order. The first person to use it gets it!


What's Inside?
- Shea Cleansing Oil with 5% Shea (30 ml)
- Shea Butter Hand Cream with 20% Shea (10 ml)
- Immortelle Divine Cream (4 ml)


I have used their Shea Butter Hand Cream before which I really do like and their Divine Cream is luxurious as well as great for the skin. I have never tried their Cleansing Oil and I am excited to try that out! This is honestly a great incentive to be a subscriber to their newsletter and in-case you didn't know, the 30 ml hand cream alone retails for $12 on the L'Occitane web site!


If you already received the email, make sure to redeem your free gift by February 28th because that is the cut-off date. There are only a certain amount of gift boxes allotted per store as they operate on a first-come basis so keep that in-mind! You can only redeem your gift box at the location you pre-selected and you need to show ID (driver's license, health card, etc) in-store. They will ask you a few simple questions while you are there such as your date of birth as well as your phone number, and then you get a free beautifully packaged gift! It is one per person and each person has a unique gift code. You can either print off the email or show it to the sales associate on your mobile device. I redeemed mine in Canada as this is a Canadian offer and I'm not sure if the USA is doing this as well. 


Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
