Živjo punce.
V Božičnem duhu vas danes čaka še ena objava o prazničnih izdelkih. Tokrat sem preizkušala Lush izdelke. Tudi Lush naredi praznike prav čarobne s posebnimi praznično obarvanimi izdelki. Vsako leto se jih razveselim, saj ustvarijo (izumijo) kaj novega, ki me pritegne. Večina izdelkov je letos tudi brez embalaže. So pa njihovi izdelki super za obdarovanja ali dodatek k darilu. Sem prepričana, da bi se jih vsi razveselili. Pa poglejmo kaj sem preizkušala in kako se mi zdijo izdelki...

Hi girls.
In a Christmas spirit, today we have another christmassy post. This time I also tried some new Lush Christmas products. Christmas at Lush is actually quite magical. They have so many festive products and in stores everything feels so joyful. This year also most of the products are without packaging. I feel like you cannot go wrong with their products are Christmas presents (as long as you know what kind of scents the person likes). Either you buy a whole present or just an added bonus to your main gift, I'm sure you could find something interesting at Lush. Also some products are quite fun to use. So let's see what I tested this year...



Shower gel looks galactic with lots of shimmer and bluish green color. It's so fun to use. I love the sour scent because I'm all about fruity scents. It definitely scents the whole bathroom. However on the skin it doesn't last for a long time - that's usually the case with citrusy scents. I would love to use it in the summer.


Butter Bear Soap

Milo v obliki medvedka ima kremno sadno sladko dišavo (ylang ylang). Naj bi sicer dišalo malce bolj čokoladno. Mene spominja na vonj bele čokolade, vendar ni pretirano sladek. Vsebuje ricinusovo olje ter kakavovo maslo, ki ustvarita kremno peno. Sama zadnje čase uporabljam samo trda mila, ker so brez embalaže!, jih imam za dolgo časa, ter so super tudi za pranje čopičev. Zdi se mi tudi super darilo, ker ni le navadno milo, je ročno narejeno in ima prijetno dišavo.

This soap is supposed to smell chocolatey and after a few uses it does start to smell like white chocolate but with a bit of a fruity undertone. It's a gentle but comforting scent. I use it for washing my hands and it lathers up very well. I like Lush soaps because they don't leave your skin much with a dry feeling. A bear shaped soap is really nice to use because its size is like my hands. And then I also end up using Lush soaps for cleaning my brushes.

Yog Nog Solid Body Conditioner

Diši po keksih s cimetom saj vsebuje olje nageljnovih žbic (klinčki). Res je taki vonj za pojest in popolnoma ustreza božičnemu vzdušju. Kožo navlažijo karitejevo maslo, mandljevo olje, ilipe maslo. 

Tip izdelka mi je dobro poznan, saj sem lani preizkušala Snow Fairy vonj. Gre za balzam, ki se podrgne po mokri koži ter nato rahlo spere. Je super za nas "lenobe", ki se nam ne da vedno mazati z losjoni ter čakati, da se vpijejo. Tako ta balzam vzame samo par sekund. Sicer je za shranjevanje pod tušem malce masten (in tudi tuš postane masten), zato priporočam uporabo podstavka za milo. Ampak, ko se stuširaš in posušiš ne pusti mastnega ali lepljivega občutka. Na vrhu ima posute bleščice, katere priporočam, da kar hitro sperete, ker boste drugače bleščeči in zlati kot božičen okrasek. Hkrati je mogoče oblika balzama malce nerodna za uporabo, ampak se navadiš. Učinek morda naslednji dan ni isti kot pri navadnem losjonu, ampak je meni dovolj vlažilen.

If you like the smell of cookies and cinnamon, this one will be for you - actually a whole range. It contains clove bud oil, so it definitely smells like that and it is all christmassy. The shea butter, almond oil and ilipe butter hydrate the skin.
I was familiar with this product because last year I tried the Snow Fairy scent in the same form. It is a body conditioner which you apply onto the wet skin and then shower off a bit. It's great for anyone who's lazy with lotions (like me) because this one is quick and effortless. It can be messy to store, because the surface could get greasy, so it's best to keep it on the soap dish. It moisturises the skin but without feeling sticky or greasy when you come out of the shower and you dry yourself with a towel. The conditioner is sprinkled with shimmer, so it's best to quickly remove it if you don't wanna be gold and shiny like a Christmas ornament. And the shape might be a bit awkward to use, but you get used to it. The effect next day might not be the same as with a normal body lotion but I like it and it is hydrating enough for me.

Polar Bear Nose Shower Bomb

Tole pa je nov izdelek. Gre za bombico za tuširanje. Sicer imam sama kopalno kad, ta izdelek pa je namenjen predvsem tistim, ki je nimate in si želite enake izkušnje. To lahko storite pod tušem. Sicer se meni ne zdi enaka izkušnja, pa vendar mi je bilo tuširanje s to bombico zelo fajn. Ne stopi se takoj, tako, da sem jo sama podrgnila pod vodo, da se je začela peniti in jo nato podrgnila po telesu. Nato sem jo odložila in sem se normalno tuširala ter sem še vedno imela nekaj bombice na voljo. Na telesu je ustvarila kremno teksturo. Izgledala pa sem kot, da se tuširam z glino, ker je seveda črne barve. Z bombico sem si naredila nežen piling in normalno stuširala. Zdi se mi, da je pustila kožo lepo mehko. Ima vonj po mentolu in evkaliptusu tako, da je osvežilna. In pa z zemeljskim pridihom. Sicer se mi zdi takšno tuširanje drago (bombica stane: 4,50€) ampak je zabavno za enkratno preizkušanje.

This is a new product to me. It's a shower bomb and is great for people without bath tub. Though I own one, so I could compare the experience. And I have to say that it is not the same. But I think it's fun to have a shower with a shower bomb. It doesn't melt instantly, which is great. I put it a bit under water and then rub it onto my skin. It creates a nice thick foam and it looked like I showered with clay because it's black. The foam was really nice and softening and it made a bit of a scrub. I could use it twice, but I kept on rubbing it on. I shaved and showered like normal. It smelled like menthol and eucalyptus, so it was refreshing but with a bit of an earthy undertone. It was a fun experience, though not as relaxing as in the bath tub. And I do think this shower was a bit expensive (4,50€).

Živjo punce.

December je tukaj in čas je za božične, omejene izdaje lepotnih izdelkov. The Body Shop je eden izmed tistih znamk, katere Božič vzamejo resno in je verjetno njihov najboljši čas v letu. Letos imajo na voljo 3 posebne vonje. Sicer pogrešam vonj po jagodičevju in upam, da bo naslednjo leto spet na voljo. Pa vendar sta se mi priljubila dva nova vonja.

Hi girls.
It's finally december and it's time to write a bit about christmassy products and Christmas beauty lines. The Body Shop loves Christmas and each year they prepare some festive goodies. This year they introduced three scents. I do miss the berry scent and hope next year it will be available again. However, I found two new favorite scents.

Salted Caramel & Vanilla Reed Diffuser

Tega izdelka sem se res razveselila, ker imam rada sveče ter dišave. Žal pa meni ne ustreza. Spomnim se, ko sem pred leti imela Rituals difuzor, ki je bil sicer z vonjem po pomaranči in je bil kar prijeten. Zato sem mislila, da mi bo ta tudi ustrezal. Gre za dišavo, ki se skozi dan sprošča skozi palčke. Super je, ker je ne rabiš ugasniti tako kot svečo. Pri difuzorjih gre za "hit or miss", saj so včasih vonji tako blagi, da ga ne zaznaš. Ta pa je v bistvu odličen. Ko sem ga odprla in dala not kar vse palčke, sem takoj zavonjala dišavo: gre za sladek vonj po karameli (spominja tudi na vanilijo) z malce cvetličnim pridihom. Sicer je lep vonj, vendar je meni presladek. To sem ugotovila po parih urah, ko mi je kar naenkrat bilo slabo. Po nekaj časa se ne zavedaš, da dišav še kar vonjaš, ampak res odišavi ves prostor. Vem, da večini ustreza in tudi druge blogerke so ga pohvalile. Res je kvaliteten in odišavi tudi velik prostor. Sama sem ga zato kar zaprla in dala palčke na balkon, ki pa so se vonjale še 1 teden potem. Zdaj bo v njem uživala moja mama, ki ni tako občutljiva.

I got really excited about this product because I like candles and scents for home. I had a diffuser before (one from Rituals) which smelled like oranges and was pleasant. However this one was not for me. The scent is dispersed through wooden sticks. It's great because you cannot set anything on fire like with candles. Diffusers are kinda gimmicky because usually a lot of them you cannot even smell. But this one is quite strong. I set it up and immediately I smelled the fragrance. It is a sweet (but salted) caramel scent which reminds me a bit of vanilla but with a floral kick to it. The scent itself is nice, but way too sweet for me. After a few hours of smelling it in the living room I got a bit sick and then I figured it was this diffuser. When you've been smelling it for a long time, you cannot tell the scent is there but it really scents the whole room. I know a lot of people will like it and it is a great quality. But I can't use it, so I closed it and put the sticks onto the balcony, which smelled the same even for a week. So I passed it onto my mom.

Warm Vanilla Shower Gel

Verjetno se bo večina razveselila tega vonja po vanilji. Božiča brez sladkih dišav ni. In tudi vse blogerke so bile očarane nad tem vonjem. Samo jaz ne. Jaz sem popolno nasprotje in sem se razveselila vseh ostalih sadnih vonjev. Sicer pa tudi uživam v tem vonju. Gre za prijeten vonj po vaniliji, ki je malce cvetličen. Gel je gostejši in se počasi porablja. Lepo se speni in je prijeten. Sicer pa ni tako poseben. Sama kupujem TBS tuš gele samo zaradi vonjev.

Most of you will probably get excited about vanilla scent. Yes, there's no Christmas without sweet scents. It's just me that isn't that convinced by this scent. I mainly love fruity scents. But I still enjoy this scent. It's a very sweet vanilla scent with a bit of floral kick to it. The shower gel is thicker and you don't need much. It foams up nicely and it really lingers on your skin for a few hours. Though it's not that special. I mainly buy TBS shower gels because they smell so nice.

Juicy Pear Body Yogurt

Jogurti za telo so precej zanimivi saj imajo ekstra lahko teksturo ter se hitro vpijejo. Super so za nanos ravno preden se oblečeš, ker se hitro vpije in ne pusti mastnega občutka. Sicer bi takšen izdelek izbrala bolj za poletje. Pa vendar, imajo na voljo tudi maslo. Glavno kar je pri tem jogurtu je vonj. Sočna hruška je ekstra zanimiv vonj. Lepo saden, sočen vonj ampak ne pretirano kisel. Res diši po hruškah. Morda si omislim še kakšen izdelek.

TBS body yogurt is and interesting product. It has a light, jelly texture and on the skin it immediately absorbs. It's great when you're in a hurry because it doesn't leave a greasy or sticky feeling. A texture like this I would choose more for warmer months. Though they have a butter texture too. But what I like the most is this new pear scent. It's very interesting. Very fruity and juicy but not that sour. You can definitely smell the fresh pear. I might have to buy another product in this scent.

Rich Plum Hand Cream

In še zadnji božični vonj je: razkošna sliva. Gre za sadno cvetličen vonj. Krema za roke ima lažjo teksturo, tako da se hitro vpije v roke. Navlaži roke, vendar ni ekstra vlažilna. Zato za ekstremno suhe roke priporočam kakšno drugo kremo. Super pa je za v torbico saj je embalaža majhna.

And the last scent is: plum. This one is again nicely fruity but with a floral kick. The texture is light and it absorbs into the skin quickly. It hydrates the hands, however it's not extra moisturising. So if you have very dry hands, I recommend you trying something else. Though I really like it for my purse because it's so small.
