Živjo punce.
Čas leti in kar dva meseca je minilo odkar sem prejela čudovite, lično zapakirane Caudalie balzame za ustnice, v leseni škatlici. Razveselila sem se tudi zato, ker mi je Caudalie znamka res pri srcu. Vmes pa sem prejela še toliko izdelkov, da enostavno nisem imela časa pisati o njih, prav tako pa sem jih želela dobro preizkusiti. Balzami so rahlo obarvani, s prijetnimi vonji.
Hi girls.
It's been two months since I've received this gorgeous wooden box containing new Caudalie lip balms. Caudalie is one of my favorite skincare brands and I get excited every time I test something new from them. French Kiss lip balms are supposed to be lightly tinted lip balms which add shine and enhance beauty of your lips.
Sestavine:
Sončnično olje, polifenoli iz grozdja, čebelji vosek, izvleček listov aloe vere in pigmenti.
Na voljo so kar trije odtenki: Innocence - neobarvan (vonj pomaranča, vanilija), Seduction - rahlo roza obarvan (vonj vanilije), Addiction - nežno rdeč (vonj jagodičevja). Odtenek Innocence naj bi bil nežno roza, vendar na ustnicah ne pusti nobene barve. Seduction je res nežno roza in na mojih ustnicah pusti nežen odtenek, tako, da izgledajo olepšane in bolj negovane. Addiction pa na ustnicah izgleda nežno "češnjevo" rdeče. Imajo zanimive vonje, saj je Innocence res zelo svež, citrusen in bi bil super za poletje, Seduction pa je tako prijetno sladek, da bi ga pojedel.
Tekstura je malce gostejša, svilnata in je potrebno balzam nekajkrat preizkusiti, da se prebijete skozi vrhnji sloj, da se malce zmehča. Balzami niso lepljivi, niti mastni ter se mi zdi, da zaradi gostejše teksture ostanejo dlje časa na ustnicah. Zame so ravno dovolj vlažilni za vsakodnevno nego, vendar ne morem reči, da so dovolj za zelo suhe ustnice.
Embalaža balzamov je res luštna: plastičen lonček z lepim lesenim pokrovčkom se občuti posebno (izgleda lepo tudi na fotografijah). Sicer takih balzamov ne vzamem s seboj v torbici, zaradi higiene, ker jih moreš nanašati s prstom. Jih pa rada uporabljam doma ali preden grem od doma, saj redko na ustnicah nosim šminke. Tudi sestavine so dobre, bolj naravne.
Na ustnicah pustijo le rahlo obarvanost, tako da če iščete več pigmenta, morda niso za vas. Sicer pa so dobro negovalni, super za vsak dan in bolj za razvajanje, saj so tudi vonji izredno prijetni.
Cena: 12,49€ / 7,5g (na voljo v lekarnah in na spletu)
Innocence
Seduction
Addiction
Ingredients: castor and sunflower oil (moisturizing), polyphenols (anti-oxidant), beeswax (nourishes, protects), aloe vera extract (soothing, repairing)
French Kiss lip balm comes in three different shades: Innocence - natural pink/colourless (vanilla-orange scent), Seduction - light pink (vanilla scent), Addiction - raspberry red (red berry scent).
To me Innocence leaves no color, while Seduction leaves a slight pink shade which looks like "My lips but better" color. And Addiction leaves light raspberry red shade. They all leave some shine. Plus the smells are interesting, while Innocence has a really refreshing scent, the Seduction is so sweet, it will make you want to eat it (thought they don't taste like chemicals if you lick them off).
Texture is a bit thicker, however nicely smooth (they describe it as ‘crème brûlée’), so you have to use it a couple of times, so it softens a bit. After that it's lovely and not greasy or sticky. But because of thicker texture, they seem to last on the lips for a bit longer. They are moisturising, enough for daily use, however if you have really dry lips, these won't help you.
Packaging is absolutely stunning: a plastic bottom with a cute, "instagrammable" wooden top. It's something different and special. Though because the balm is in a pot, I wouldn't carry it around with me since it can become quite unhygenic when applying it with not so clean fingers. So, I love using them at home or just before I go out, since I don't wear a lot of lipstick. I do appreciate that it contains many natural ingredients.
All in all, these are very lightly colored, so if you're looking for more color, these won't be for you. Other than that, they're very pleasant, nourishing and feel a bit like pampering. Also the scents are lovely.
