L’Occitane‘s inaugural L’OcciBox was a very hot commodity that sold out pretty quickly after it was released. As I expected, there were several bugs and setbacks, and everyone whose order got canceled had to re-purchase their boxes with adjusted non-stackable coupons, and fixed shipping price, if they still wished to do so. From what I read on some blogs and forums, a lot of people were so unhappy, they swore to never buy anything from L’Occitane again. As for me, I’ve been a customer for 15 years, and built up some brand loyalty, so ditching them at this point is not going to happen, unless they do something really drastic [akin to those rumors about Revlon’s CEO]. But I digress…

To create their first ever sampling box, L’Occitane collaborated with ELLE Magazine and their resident illustrator, who designed prints for the nail file, four mini hand creams, and the Limited Edition makeup bag. In addition to that, all boxes contained sample sachets of Immortelle Divine Cream, and travel-sized versions of Almond Supple Skin Oil, Shea Butter Body Milk, Immortelle Precious Cleansing Foam, and Arlesienne Hand Cream from the brand’s newest collection. One hundred randomly selected boxes came with a special surprise – a one-year subscription to ELLE Magazine. Unfortunately, I was not among those lucky ducks this time around, but there’s always next quarter.
