L'Occitane Candy Cooking Contest and new X-Mas line

L'occitane had a great marketing idea for launching their new X-Mas 20ll limited edition line.  Provence". Since the new line's scents are inspired from the delicious old sweets they decided to launch the line with a Candy Cooking Contest!

The event was held in Terrace Grill restaurant in JW Marriot hotel which was reserved entirely for the event.

The place was nicely decorated with, what else, candy of course!

After a quick presentation introducing the new X-Mas 2011 line, we were invited into the kitchen where the candy making would start.

Those who wanted to participate had to put on aprons and chef's hats. We were also handed out printed papers with recipes for Marshmallows, Macaroons, Jujubes Candies, and Glazed Strawberries.

Then the chef's began demonstrating the candy making for the contestants.

The smell was out of this world I tell you. Bubbling sugar, readily prepared dessert thingies.

I'm guessing these are the macaroons.




Look at the marshmallows! I am not a fan of marshmallows but how can you resist them when they look that way? Like goblets of sugary bliss?

The contestants began to cook their own candy by then since the chef's made it look so easy.

By then Bu Tootee was salivating and I wasn't going to risk the temptation to ruin his diet so we had to flee before the candy was ready to be consumed. Not before we were given a L'Occitane goodie bag though.

If we cannot eat candy, then the least we can do is indulge as much as we can in its scent! Inside the goodie bag there were a selection of items from the new L'Occitane X-Mas line.

The first scent "Fig Tree Leaf" scented candle.

Then two shower jellies scented as "Citron & Clementine" and "Rose & Violet". Both had an amazing scent and a luscious texture! My favorite is the Rose one, so yummy!

and last but not least a home perfume diffuser set, the kind that I adore with the little sticks, with the Fig scent.

What a lovely goody bag. We truly had a great time with a unique experience! Thank you L'Occitane and Ms. Shayma Bakhesh for your kind invitation
