Beauty of a Lemon: lushchristmas

Lush Christmas Products 2019

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...

Happy Shower Gel

Vonj me spominja na Bubbly gel za tuširanje, ki je bil lansko leto tudi omejena izdaja za Božič. Medtem, ko je Happy morda če bolj "kisel". Vsebuje olje sicilijanske limone, grenke pomaranče ter nerolijevo olje. Ekstrakt irskega mahu pa daje občutek vlažilnosti.

Tuš gel izgleda galaktično z bleščicami in modro zeleno barvo. Prav zabaven je za uporabo. Vonj je precej kisel, spominja me na kisle bonbone, kar mi je res všeč. Ni preveč vpadljiv vonj in mi naredi tuširanje bolj zabavno. Zelo odišavi kopalnico po svežem, vendar se mi zdi, da s kože kar hitro zgine - to je precej značilno za takšne citrusne vonje.

Right away this scent reminded me of Bubbly shower gel (last years limited edition shower gel for Christmas). That one smelled like oranges, thought this one smells even more sour, like sour candy. It contains juicy blend of lemon and sweet wild orange oil. Carrageenan Extract gives you a hydrating feeling.

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€).

Lush Christmas Products 2018

body

Živjo punce.

Najprej se opravičujem za malce pozno objavo, saj imam te Lush izdelke doma že kar nekaj časa. Ker se Božič bliža ekstremno hitro, pa je čas da govorim o teh prazničnih dobrotah. O izdelkih iz prejšnjih božičnih kolekcij si lahko prebereš tukaj (nekateri so letos spet na voljo).

Hi girlies.

First of all, I have to apologise because this post is so late this year. I've actually had these products for quite a while now and because Christmas is approaching fast, it's time to talk about these festive goodies. You can also read all Christmas posts from previous years here (because some of the products are available also this year).

Sleepy - Naked Shower Gel

Sleepy oziroma Twilight vonj je meni že dobro poznan saj sem Twilight tuš gel imela že kar nekajkrat v lasti. Sicer se mi zdi, da se vonja kar hitro naveličaš, ker je tako specifičen: prepletata se sivka in tonka (ki daje sladek vonj). Sicer mi vonj po sivki ni najljubši ampak s tonko dobi tako prijeten slajši pridih, ki spominja na piškote. Gel za tuširanje brez embalaže ni milo. Ima enako sestavinsko strukturo kot klasičen tuš gel, s tem, da so ga s postopkom (z dodatkom posebne sestavine) spremenili v trdo obliko. Na otip ima precej kremasto, malce mastno teksturo. Tako se tudi speni v kremasto peno in je res enostaven za uporabo. Ne občuti se kot milo, temveč bolj kot tuš gel.

Hraniti pa ga je najboljše na kakšnem podstavku pod tušem. Na vrhu je tudi vosek, tako, da lahko tam tuš gel brez problema primeš in prestaviš.

Meni sta koncept in uporaba všeč, je pa res, da se moreš navadit na drugačen tuš gel.

The Sleepy (Twilight) scent has been one of my favorites for a while. Though I think I overused the Twilight scent. The scent is a mix of lavender and tonka. I'm not a fan of lavender scents, however because this one is mixed with tonka, it gives it a touch of sweetness which is nice. It almost reminds you of cookies. This naked shower gel is not a soap. It has the same ingredients as a normal shower gel but they add an ingredient to solidify it. When you touch it, it feels creamy, almost a bit greasy. And under water it creates a creamy foam and is quite easy to use. On the skin it doesn't feel like soap, but really like shower gel. I don't think it makes my skin dehydrated. On the top you've got a wax bit where you can touch it without getting your handy greasy. In the shower I store it on a soap dish.
I really like the concept and the use, even though it takes a few tries to get used to it.

Naughty Elf Bubble Bar

Ta prikupen škrat je peneča kopel. Ima prijeten svež, citrusen vonj z rahlim pridihom cvetlic. Penečo kopel lahko uporabiš za večkrat, zato sem jaz prvič odlomila samo tretjino in v bani se je naredilo veliko mehurčkov. Vodo obarva v nežno rdečo kar meni izgleda zabavno - božično. Peneče kopeli so res super, ker se splačajo, saj jih lahko večkrat uporabiš.In jaz imam najraje veliko pene, da se komaj vidi vodo.

This cute Elf is a bubble bar. It has a nice fresh, citrusy scent with a touch of violets. You can use it for multiple times, so for the first use I crumbled up a third. It made a lot of bubbles and colored the water into a red: fun and Christmasy shade. These bubble baths are very nice because you can use them for many times and I personally love the huge amount of bubbles where you almost cannot see the water. It's fun and relaxing !

Snow Fairy Body Conditioner

Balzami za telo so hitra odrešitev, ko nimaš časa, da bi čakal, da se losjon za telo vpije preden se lahko oblečeš. Namreč uporabiš ga na mokro kožo ter na hitro spereš. Ustvari sloj zaradi katerega potem voda kar zdrsi iz kože. Ko pa si kožo posušiš, je ta mehka in navlažena ter sploh ni mastna. Balzam za telo brez embalaže je kot nekakšna ploščica in je tako kot tuš gel brez embalaže popolnoma enak klasičnemu izdelku, s tem da so mu odvrgli plastiko. Primeš ga v roko in ga uporabiš kot sem zapisala. Samo drugačne oblike je kot tisti v lončku. Hraniš pa ga na podstavku za milo. Meni so takšni balzami izdelki zelo všeč, čeprav nimajo tako ekstra vlažilnega učinka kot klasičen losjon za telo ali masažna ploščica. Snow Fairy balzam ima seveda tisti značilen vonj po čigumijih ali bonbončkih, ki pa je meni še vedno zelo priljubljen.

This kind of body conditioners are very handy when you're in a hurry and cannot wait for that lotion to sink into your skin. It's used like a hair conditioner. You simply apply it onto the wet skin and then shower it off lightly. When you towel dry yourself, your skin is left with a soft feeling and looking a bit more hydrated but not greasy at all. This bar of lotion and has the same ingredients as the one in a pot but it's just in a solid form. So it's handy to store it on a soap dish. I like this body lotions because I'm quite lazy at moisturizing my skin and when I do it in the shower like that, it's just easy and quick. Plus I can always dress up quickly. Though I have to mention that it doesn't have the same hydrating effect as massage bars. The Snow Fairy body conditioner has that distinct bubblegum, sweet scent which I've loved and still love through all those years.

Holly Berry Massage Bar

Lusheve masažne ploščice so super za razvajanje ter nahranitev kože ali pa masažo. Sicer znajo biti kar mastne, ko jih pogreješ med dlanmi, vendar sama uporabim manjšo količino in pustim da se olja ter masla lepo vpijejo v kožo preden se oblečem v pižamo (ne priporočam uporabe zjutraj ali čez dan preden se oblečete v najljubše kavbojke). Holly Berry ploščica

Lush massage bars are pure heaven and amazing for pampering. They are basically made out of pure butters (ilipe, cocoa and mango butter) and oils (coconut oil). When you rub it between the hands it starts to melt and it feels oily. So I rub it directly onto the skin, not using a huge amount because a little goes a long way. Then I massage it with hands into the my skin and wait for it to absorb. Because it doesn't absorb right away, I recommend using it at night before slipping into pyjamas. And your skin will smell lovely even in the morning. Holly Berry smells lightly fresh but it doesn't have a strong distinct scent.

Satsuma Soap

Obožujem vonj po svežih pomarančah. Kisli, citrusni vonji so moji najljubši, ker me spravijo v boljšo voljo ter me po njih ne boli glava. Milo je oblikovana kot majhna pomaranča, kar je ekstra luštno, v sredini pa vsebuje sloj kakavovega masla. Res je, da je običajno Lush rastlinsko milo, vendar ima božanski vonj po pomarančah.

I love the smell of oranges. Fruity, citrusy scents are my favorite because they are uplifting and don't give me a headache. This little soap is shaped like an orange which is so cute and would be a nice gift. And in the middle you've got a little bit of cocoa butter. It does feel like any Lush soaps, however I love it because it has an amazing scent of oranges.

Cranberry Fizz Lip Scrub

Enostavno obožujem Lusheve pilinge za ustnice. Nekateri bodo rekli, da si tak sladkorni piling lahko nardiš kar sam doma, vendar ima Lush posebne okuse. Tale praznični piling diši po kislih bonbončkih. Vsebuje pa olje brusničnih semen, olje brazilske pomaranče in limetino olje, s pridihom kančka ingverja. Res je njami. Sicer se mi zdi, da so kristali sladkorja malce majhni, vendar jaz ustnice hkrati podrgnem z vatico. Lepo odstrani odmrlo kožo ter pusti mehke ustnice. Kako uporabljam piling za ustnice si lahko podrobno ogledaš tukaj.

I simply love Lush lip scrubs. Some people tell me that you can make it yourself at home, however Lush ones are unique with interesting flavours. Plus if I would make it with sugar and honey it would be sticky. This festive edition smells like sour candy. Contains peach kernel oil, fair trade shea butter which will hydrate the lips. The scent and flavour comes from brazilian orange oil, cranberry seed oil, lime oil and ginger absolute. So it's very yummy, like some candy. The sugar crystals are a bit smaller so they don't hurt your lips as much but are still effective. The scrub really exfoliates the lips, removing all the dead skin while leaving them super soft. In the winter this is a must. How I use lip scrubs, you can check here.

Lush: Christmas Favorites 2017

bath

Živjo punce !
Božični čas je še bolj poseben z Lushevimi prazničnimi izdelki. Res je še hitro za to, vendar pri Lushu vedno hitro lansirajo izdelke, saj vsi komaj čakamo na njih. Vsako leto je nekaj novega, zanimivega in me običajno ne razočarajo. Ta Božič so vsi izdelki na voljo tudi brez embalaže, tako da se sami odločate ali jih kupite z ali brez embalaže. Sama pa imam vsako leto rada sveže vonje in tudi kakšnega posebnega. Danes Vam bom predstavila moje tri letošnje najljubše, čeprav imam veliko priljubljenih. Objave o lanskih božičnih izdelkih, ki so še vedno na voljo, pa si lahko preberete tukaj.

Hello girls !

Christmas is really something special with Lush festive products. They're unique, nice smelling and mostly never disappoint me. Lush has gone completely naked this year and by that I mean that they are offering every single product in a form without a packaging. You can choose to buy it with or without.

Once Upon a Time losjon za telo brez embalaže

Lushevi losjoni in masažne ploščice so moje najljubše in vedno bodo zaradi odličnega vlaženja.

Tokrat pa so ustvarili losjon v trdi obliki. Izgleda kot ena oblika masažne ploščice, vendar gre za klasičen losjon, ki ga lahko kupite v lončku, vendar so ga uspešno strdili. Na pogled morda izdelek ni tako zanimiv, vendar izgleda kot majhen lonček. Shranjevanje spet ni tako praktično, vendar ga sama dam kar v papirnato vrečko, ki jo dobite v Lushu. Tako je lahko losjon masten, vendar ne boste zmastili okolice. Vonj Once Upon a Time je preplet poparka jabolk, grenivkinega olja, limoninega olja ter limetinega olja, ki skupaj tvorijo svež, kisel ampak malce cvetličen pridih. Losjon sestavljajo kakavovo maslo, karitejevo maslo, murumuru maslo, ilipe maslo, jojobino olje ter mandljevo olje. Sama to "ploščico" nanesem s potegom po telesu, ter jo nato odložim na suho površino. Nato pa vsebino vtrem v kožo. Deluje kot olje za telo, zato se koža sveti in potrebuje nekje 1 uro, da se vpije. Potem je koža zelo mehka in navlažena. Losjon je res zelo hranljiv ter kožo lepo nežno odišavi.

Mene je vonj očaral, saj imam rada sveže vonje, ta pa je zame nekaj novega.

Cena: 11,95€ / 100g (Več o sestavinah tukaj.)

Solid body lotion sounds just like a massage bar and yes it works just like that, however there's only a difference that you could have it in a liquid version, so they just solidified this one. It is not that cute to store, but I love that it has the same shape as a pot. Even better option to store it, is in the paper pouch which you usually get in the store because it gets greasy, but stays fresh inside.

This one is scented with apple infusion, grapefruit oil and lemon oil, so it's nicely fruity and zesty but with a little twist of floral scent. The moisture comes from cocoa butter, shea butter, murumuru butter, ilipe butter, jojoba oil and almond oil. It starts to melt when being held, so it's very easy to apply and rub onto the skin. I apply it in single motion and put it onto a dry surface and then rub into the skin, so it absorbs better. I apply it before bed and because the oils just melt into your skin, you need to wait for an hour to completely eliminate shine. It leaves your skin super soft and very hydrated.

I absolutely love the scent and am probably going to buy the one in a pot as well.

Twilight gel za tuširanje

Spominjam se kako so me spraševali po Twilight vonju, ko sem še delala v trgovini. Mini tuš gel pa je bilo možno dobiti le v enem darilnem paketu. Sprva nisem bila tako očarana nad vonjem, vendar mi je bila Twilight kroglica za kopanje prečudovita. Sama nisem ljubiteljica tradicionalnega vonja po sivki, vendar je Twilight vonj res poseben. Poleg sivke, vsebuje še ylang ylang ter tonko, ki mu doda prijeten sladek vonj. Tako je vonj sproščujoč ter malce sladek in zelo topel. Tekstura tuš gela pa je ob stiku z vodo zelo kremasta in prijetna na koži. Vonj na koži ostane nekaj časa, vendar ni tako močen kot na primer Snow Fairy tuš gel. Na vrh pa lahko dodate še Sleepy losjon za telo ali tudi nov Twilight sprej za telo.

Skratka, vonj je popoln za stresne dni ali seveda pred spanjem, za sproščanje. Mene pomiri in spravi v boljšo voljo.

Cena: 15,95€ / 250g (Več o sestavinah tukaj.)

When I worked at Lush, there were quite many people asking about the Twilight scent in a shower gel form because you could only get it in a certain gift box. I didn't understand it at first, however Twilight bath bomb was an absolute charm. I am not a lover of traditional lavender scent, however this one is different. Twilight scent is a mix of lavender, ylang ylang and tonka which gives it a sweet scent. I love that it's a bit sweet, however relaxing and it just makes you feel cozy. Shower gel is so nice and creamy on the skin. It's not overly scented, like Snow Fairy, so it's a bit more enjoyable. It leaves your skin soft and clean, plus it lasts on your skin for a bit. You can top it on with Sleepy body lotion which is amazing (more here). Also in regular line you can get Twilight spray. This scent is of course perfect before going to sleep or if you're stressed.

More about ingredients here.

Plum Snow peneča kopel

Zime ni brez vroče bane, polne mehurčkov, če le imate to srečo, da imate doma bano. Kopalne bombice so zabavne, saj v sebi skrivajo presenečenja, vendar lahko s penečimi kopelmi ustvarite ogromno mehkih mehurčkov. Plum Snow peneča kopel pa je tako velika, da jo lahko razdelite na 3 kose, če vaša bana ni tako velika.
Ima lušten, zimski vzorec snežinke, ter vodo obarva v čudovito vijolično. Vonj pa je svež in saden zaradi olja sicilijanske limone ter grenke pomaranče. Spominja me na vonj pomarančnega olupka, vendar v pozitivnem smislu. Definitivno priporočam, da povonjate tole ali katero drugo penečo kopel.

Cena: 8,95€ / 200g (Več o sestavinah tukaj.)

There is no winter without some hot bath, filled to the brim with bubbles. As much fun as bath bombs are, the bubble bars make many bubbles. And Plum Snow bubble bar is so big, you could use it three times if your bath is not that big, or just make an obscene amount of bubbles.
The design is cute and wintery. Crumbling up a third, still left a nice violet color to the water. And the smell is just amazing: very fruity and fresh because of mandarin oil. It shares it's scent with plum rain shower gel, however it reminds me of an orange peel scent in a very nice way. I definitely recommend you checking it out or any other bubble bars.

Christmas Kisses with Lush - Sugar Plum Fairy lip scrub

lips

Živjo punce !

Ob mrzlem vremenu se še pogosteje srečam s suhimi, razpokanimi ustnicami. Takrat vedno posežem po pilingu za ustnice, da odstranim nadležne "luskice" in se razkrijejo mehke, popolne ustnice.

Seveda se take zadeve dajo izdelati doma, vendar so Lushevi pilingi vedno posebnih okusov ter imam vedno na zalogi eno embalažo katero porabim komaj v letu dni. Ta v današnji objavi pa iz limitirane, božične izdaje in zna prekositi celo Santa's piling za ustnice, kateri je bil že dalj časa moj najljubši.
Piling za ustnice je lahko luštna ideja za darilce, saj ni le kozmetičen izdelek, temveč tudi služi kot "sladica".

Hi girls !
Festive season is coming to it's high peak. And before all the shopping will be over, I have another Christmas product to talk about. This lip scrub is perfect for winter time since lips get very dry or cracked. You can save them with this little yummy product. Of course lip scrubs can be made at home, however Lush does some special flavors, plus the whole pot lasts me for a year. The latest flavor is right at the top with Santa's lip scrub. Also it can be a cute cosmetics gift since it also serves as a desert.

Sladkorni piling sodi v linijo "Comforter", katero zajema vonj črnega ribeza ter pomaranče. Tako ima piling okus po jagodičevju s pridihom sladkobe (ja, užiten je in naravnost njami!) - na embalaži pa seveda ni napisano koliko kalorij vsebuje 😊. Okus je tak kot sadni bonbončki.
Sladkor dobro zdrgne utrujene, uničene ustnice ter odpravi odmrlo kožo. Jojobino olje pa poskrbi za mehak občutek. Po uporabi so ustnice kot prenovljene. Seveda po drgnjenju takoj nanesem balzam za ustnice, da zadržim vlago.

Cena: 8,95€/ 25g (na voljo v trgovinah Maribor, Koper ter Ljubljana ali na spletu)

Kako sama pripravim ustnice:

- najprej s prsti po ustnicah podrgnem piling

- vzamem vatirno gobico, jo namočim z vročo vodo ter z njo podrgnem po ustnicah, da dobro odstranim vso odmrlo kožo

- ustnice sperem, jih malce obliznem, saj je piling zelo okusen

- nato pa jih navlažim z dobrim balzamom (moja izbira ponoči: Nuxe Reve De Miel)

Pred nanosom šminke, počakam vsaj 5 minut oz. si vmes naličim ves obraz, ter nato sledi nanos šminke.

The scent/line Comforter is not a newbie, but and oldie. It's scented with black currant and oranges. That's the inspiration behind this lip scrub as it's fruity, containing sweet wild orange oil and some other flavouring which reminisces of berries. A yummy berry flavor has also a sweet side to it which makes it extra yummy. It reminds me of some kind of candies. Being eatable definitely has it's priorities.

Besides that, caster sugar removes all the dead skin, while jojoba oil nourishes the lips and leaves them soft and rejuvenated.

My lip routine for soft, kissable lips:

- firstly I scrub my lips with lip scrub by using my fingers

- then I take a cotton pad which I soak a bit in hot water and then rub it all over the lips to remove all the dead skin

- I wash off my lips and lick them for a nice sweet taste

- next up, I apply thick nourishing lip balm

New from Lush Christmas 2016 - Snow Fairy scent family

body

Živjo punce.

Trio objav o Lushevih božičnih - limitiranih izdelkih zaključujem z verjetno najbolj popularnim vonjem: Snow Fairy. Letos so to linijo še razširili ter dodali regenerator za telo in FUN. Če še ne poznate tega vonja, v bistvu spominja na pocukrane žvečilke ter sladkorno peno. To sladko aromo mu daje sintetični mošus. Sicer nisem največja ljubiteljica sladkih vonjev, vendar je ta poseben in prisoten v moji kolekciji vsako zimo. Sladka aroma je res primerna za hladne dni saj te nekako pogreje in se počutim zelo udobno. Prav tako me spravi v boljšo voljo. Takšne izdelke ne uporabljam vsak dan, saj zna vonj bit kar močen. Tako jih imam tudi za dlje časa. Seveda naj še enkrat omenim, da so vsi Lushevi limitirani izdelki brez konzervansov !

REGENERATOR ZA TELO

body conditioner

Regenerator za telo je pameten izdelek saj omogoča preprosto uporabo. Naneseš ga na mokro kožo, nato spereš in losjon navlaži telo. Nekateri ga tudi ne spirajo preveč. Pri čemer ne pusti mastnega občutka, koža je hitro navlažena in se lahko takoj oblečeš kar je res odlično. Sama sem z losjoni včasih lena ali pa se mi mudi ter so mi takšni produkti zelo priljubljeni.

Snow Fairy regenerator vsebuje mandljevo olje, organsko jojobino olje, avokadovo maslo, mangovo maslo ter organsko kakavovo maslo, ki poskrbijo za vlaženje in negovanje. Tekstura je gelasta in omogoča hitro nanašanje brez packarije (v primerjavi z Ro's Argan, kateri je bolj tekoč). Slišala sem tudi pritožbe, da naj bi ta regenerator puščal voskast občutek. Z veseljem pa Vam povem, da pri sebi nisem zaznala niti voskastega ali mastnega občutka. Priporočam pa, da na kožo ne nanašate ogromne količine, morda bi lahko to bil vzrok.

Res pa je, da koža ni tako navlažena kot z običajnim losjonom (npr. Lush - Sleepy), vendar še vedno dobro deluje. Za seboj še dalj časa pusti vonj sladkorne pene, ki je milejši kot pri tuš gelu ter včasih tudi prijetnejši. Že sam tuš gel Snow Fairy zelo dobro odišavi kožo (preberi več tukaj) ter ga lahko izmenjavam z regeneratorjem. Skratka gre za odličen izdelek.

Posodico pa lahko recikliraš v trgovinah Lush (5 posodic=1 sveža maska).

Cena: 10,95€/100g & 23,95/240g (na voljo v trgovinah Maribor, Koper ter Ljubljana ali na spletu)

Lush's body conditioners are such a smart product (inspiration comes from hair conditioners). Very easy to use: you need only step into the shower, smooth the conditioner over your entire body and when you're ready, rinse off. Some even don't rinse off that much. It moisturises and softens the skin without any greasy residue. Great for when I'm lazy and/or in a hurry because the skin on my body is quite dry otherwise.

Snow Fairy conditioner contains hydrating and nourishing organic cocoa butter, mango and avocado butter, jojoba oil and almond oil. Texture is gel-like and makes application very easy in comparison to runny Ro's Argan. The skin might not be as moisturized as with a usual lotion, however this conditioner still work greatly. Afterwards you're left with a cozy candy floss scent which is not as owerpowering as Snow Fairy shower gel can be sometimes. So I can switch between these. Still it has a nice staying power.

Price: £7,95/100g & £13,95/240g

FUN

Fun je večnamenski izdelek, ki ima teksturo plastelina. Zato morda ni običajen, vendar, ko se ga navadiš uporabljati, je odličen. Sama ga običajno zdrobim pod tekočo vodo ter si naredim penečo kopel v bani. Lahko pa ga uporabite kot običajno milo za umivanje telesa, las ter tudi za britje. Seveda pa ga lahko oblikujete, pri čemer so temu dodali krila ter palčko za izdelavo čarobne vile.

Fun se lepo speni, koruzna moka pa pusti mehak občutek na koži. Snow Fairy fun je tako odišavljen kot sladkorna pena ter močen vonj zavzame celotno kopalnico.

Embalaža zna biti morda nadležna saj je namenjena recikliranju, zato ga jaz hranim kar v črni posodici. Pri čemer se ne posuši ter ne stopi ob vodi. 10 penijev od vsakega funa pa Lush donira otrokom, ki so bili žrtve katastrofe na Fukušimi.

Cena: 8,95€ / 200g (na voljo v trgovinah Maribor, Koper ter Ljubljana ali na spletu)

Fun is a genious multi-purpose product. Some people may not like it but once you get the hang of it, it can be fun. I love crumbling it under hot water to use it as a bubble bath. Other than that, you can also use it as a regular soap, to wash your body and hair or even use it for shaving. Because it's texture is like play-doh, you can build things from it. That's why this one comes with wings and a wand to make yourself a little fairy. It foams up greatly and corn flour softens your skin. Snow Fairy one is of course scented like cotton candy which leaves you smelling nice and cheers me up.

Packaging is a bit annoying since it's recyclable, however you can store it in a normal pot to prevent it from drying out or melting near the water source.

And the best thing is that Lush spreads fun, while donating 10 penies from each FUN to children who have suffered from natural disaster on Fukushima.

Price: £7,95/200g

Get yourself to sleep easily: Lush Sleepy & Luxury Lush Pud

bathbomb

Živjo punce.
Če še morda niste zasledile, sem se to leto odločila testirati več novih Lushevih izdelkov za Božič 2016. V prejšnji objavi (tukaj) sem govorila o čudovitih svežih vonjih, danes pa Vam bom predstavila težko pričakovan Sleepy losjon. Ta ima enak vonj kot moja najljubša kopalna kroglica: Twilight. Gre za preplet sivke in tonke. Vem, da veliko punc ne mara sivke - tudi meni ni všeč, vendar absolut tonke (sladka aroma, podobno vaniljini - iz plodov sadežev dreves tonka) doda sladek, pudrast pridih kateremu se ne morem upreti.
V nekaterih darilcih pa je na voljo tuš gel Twilight, kateri me res zelooo mika. Poleg Sleepy losjona imate na voljo še Mr.Sandman puder za telo z bleščicami - z isti, vendar nežnejšim vonjem. Nazaj pa je tudi kroglica Luxury Lush Pud, ki ima enak vonj kot kroglica Twilight, vendar je barvitejša in malce bolj sladka. Vsi letošnji božični izdelki pa ne vsebujejo konzervansov.

Lusheve losjone obožujem, ker so res zelo vlažilni. Čeprav lahko za seboj pustijo masten občutek, pa mojo kožo najbolje nahranijo.
Sleepy losjon ima gelasto-kremasto teksturo, ki se enostavno razporedi po koži. Ker je zelo bogat z olji ter masli (madljevo olje, jojobino olje, organsko kakavovo maslo, maslo ilipe) je za vlaženje potrebna majhna količina. Ob nanosu velike količine pa sicer pusti malce oljnat občutek saj ga moja koža ne vpije takoj. Tako je čudovit za pred spanjem, saj se lahko namažem, oblečem ter me objame čudovit sladkasto pomirjajoč vonj, ki me spremlja še zjutraj. V lončku vonj ni tako ekstra saj se precej vonja sivka, vendar se ob nanosu na kožo zelo lepo razvije in dobi sladkast, pudrast pridih. Res je unikaten in poseben vonj, zato ga morate povonjati. Sivkina voda ter ovsena kaša pa poskrbita za pomiritev kože. Ne vem, če zaspim hitreje, kakor piše na embalaži vendar me vonj prijetno sprošča. Barva pa je nežno vijolično obarvana z majhnimi bleščicami, ki so bolj na vrhu. Tako malce spominja na vodo po kopanju z Twilight kopalno kroglico.

Moj najljubši Lushev losjon je Dream Cream, saj je zelo vlažilen in tudi pomirja. Zlahka pa bi ga nadomestil Sleepy saj je približno enako hranilen, vendar je lepše odišavljen. Ta losjon je zares čudovit ! Z veseljem bi imela tudi parfumček z enakim vonjem.

Cena: 11,95€/95g & 20,95/215g (na voljo v trgovinah Maribor, Koper ter Ljubljana ali na spletu)

My love for Lush body lotions is huge, since they are so moisturizing. Eventhough sometimes they make my skin a bit greasy, they are the most hydrating product I've tried so far.
Sleepy body lotion has an interesting gel/creamy texture which spreads very easily onto the skin. It's enriched with butters and oils (almond oil, jojoba oil, organic fair trade cocoa butter and ilipe butter), so you only need a small amount. If you use too much it can leave a greasy residue - well, my skin doesn't absorb it that quickly. That's why it's perfect for before going to sleep. I simply put it on and slip into my pyjamas as the amazing scent makes me feel cozy and warm and stays there even in the morning. Lavender water and oatmeal infusion then also calm my skin.

The scent is just amazing. Not too strong but you can definitely notice it. I dislike lavender scented products as they can be quite overpowering and strong, however this one is really different. At first in the pot you can smell the lavender and then on the skin it develops as sweet tonka (Tonka absolute is a sweet, vanilla-like aroma obtained from the seeds of fruits from "Tonka tree") over rules it. It's not too sweet and not too lavenderish, so it's just perfect: powdery and sweet. I don't know if it makes me sleepy as it says, however the scent definitely relaxes me.

This has to be one of my all time favorites as it even beats Dream Cream, just because of the smell !

I would seriously love a perfume with this scent. I'd love to wear a perfume with Twilight scent (Mr.Sandman is just not strong enough). And if you feel like it, you can firstly bathe in same scented bath bomb (Luxury Lush Pud) and combine it with Sleepy lotion for extra goodness. This body lotion is just amazing to me and I definitely recommend it !

Lush Christmas 2016: Favorite Citrusy products

bath

Živjo punce.

Vem, da smo komaj novembra, vendar Lush vedno prehiti vse in ve kako polepšati božične praznike z limitiranimi izdelki. Vso leto verjetno čakamo kaj bo Lush ponudil: kaj bo novega in kaj bo spet na voljo. Ter da končno ujamemo kakšno stekleničko Snow Fairy tuš gela. Letos imam kar zajeten kupček popolnoma novih izdelkov (ekskluzivno izdanih letos) v najljubših vonjih, saj se jim ne morem upreti. Najprej bom začela s svežimi vonji, ki dišijo kot koktajl. Potem pa še 2 vonja, ki ju res ne najdem nikjer in sta zame posebna. Seveda niso pomembni samo čudoviti vonji ampak tudi to, da izdelki delujejo. Letos pa so vsi izdelki brez parabenov - odlično kajne !

Hi girls !

I know it's only november, however Christmas always comes early to Lush. And it's a very magical time of the year in their stores. After Halloween they bring out amazing limited scents and festive products which are available only for 2 or 3 months. So, a lot of lushies wait a long time to get their hands on Snow Fairy scented shower gel and other bath & body goodies. You never know what they'll bring out again next year or if they'll develop something greater. This year is also special because each of the product is paraben free - amazing ! So let me explain what is happening on my blog. This post will be all about my favorite citrusy Christmas products which smell like a coctail and then you'll also read about 2 special scents which are definitely not to be missed.

BUBBLY

Vonj sestavljajo: svež grozdni sok, olje sladke divje pomaranče ter limete.

Gel za tuširanje Bubbly ima gostejšo, "žele" teksturo. Tako za prhanje zadostuje majhna količino saj se tudi lepo speni. Vonj je poživljajoč, kot kakšen koktajl - res njami. Poparek lista vinske trte ter izvleček irskega mahu pa na koži pustita svilen, mehčalen občutek. Vendar pa vonj ni dolgo obstojen (po mojih izkušnjah citrusni vonji običajno na koži ne ostanejo dolgo). Kljub temu vonj zavzame celotno kopalnico in me spremlja še ob kasnejših opravilih. Ker je tuš gel samokonzervirajoč, so mu dodali malo več glicerina (na rastlinski osnovi), da se sestavine seveda ne pokvarijo. Ne gre za klasičen prazničen vonj, vendar mene osebno sveži vonji spravijo v boljšo voljo, tudi ob stresnih nakupovanjih v pričakovanju praznikov. Odličen je za jutra !

Žal pa letos ni na voljo losjon z enakim vonjem (Celebrate), ki je bil del lanske kolekcije. Enak vonj krasi klasično božično kroglico: Golden Wonder.

Cena: 8,95€/100g, 15,95/250g, 24,95€/500g (na voljo v trgovinah Maribor, Koper ter Ljubljana ali na spletu)

Bubbly is just what the name says. Uplifting, cheerful shower gel which is scented with fresh grape juice, sweet wild orange oil and lime. Just like a coctail on a Christmas day. Eventhough the scent doesn't last a long time on my skin, it takes up the whole bathroom and stays for a while. The texture is quite thick and you only need a small amount to make it foam up a lot. Vine Leaf Infusion and Caragenaan extract make it feel conditioning and soothing on the skin. Because it's SP, they also added a bit more glycerine. It's definitely not a Christmas scent but it can cheer you up if you're stressed from gift shopping and such. Also amazing for the mornings - totally awakens your skin and mind.

Unfortunately this year you can't get your hands on Celebrate lotion which has the same scent, however there is Golden Wonder bath bomb in the same scent.

NEVER MIND THE BALLISTICS
kopalna kroglica / bath bomb

Vonj sestavljajo: limetino olje, olje sladke pomaranče, olje kadilne bosvelije, sveže banane.

Tale bombica je kot bonbonček. Ne le da izgleda tako, ampak tudi diši pocukrano sadno ! Gre za kopalno kroglico nove oblike, saj je polita z roza hranilno plastjo, ki vsebuje kakavovo maslo ter bo navlažila kožo. Zaradi oblike in kako je narejena, se zelo dobro vrti v vodi in jo je zanimivo opazovati. Iz sredine pa curlja roza odtenek, ter dela linije po vodi. Na koncu se barve pomešajo in nastane čudovit, živo oranžen odtenek. Vonj je popolnoma poživljajoč in te kar spravi v boljšo voljo in zbistri glavo. Najbolj pomembno pa je, da mojo zelo suho kožo kakavovo maslo zelo dobro navlaži. Sicer se maslo na koži kasneje precej čuti, vendar mene osebno ne moti in počakam, da se fajn vpije.

Cena: 5,95€ (na voljo v trgovinah Maribor, Koper ter Ljubljana ali na spletu)

It's scented with lime and sweet wild orange oils. It will make your bath smell amazingly fresh and peachy on the nose. Also it's an exclusive type of bath bomb since it is dipped into moisturizing layer of cocoa butter. That's why it rolls around in the water while leaving pink traces behing from the middle. The end result is bright orange colored water. It definitely brightens up my mood and makes me smell amazing. But the most important part is that fair Trade cocoa butter really softens and moisturizes the skin. You can feel it on the touch and I just wait for it to sink in. I might need to stock up though !

JESTER večkratna peneča kopel / reusable bubble bar

Vonj sestavljajo: olja sicilijanske mandarine, tangerine ter bergamotke.

Ta kopel ima enak, poživljajoč vonj kot klasična Brightside peneča kopel, vendar je bolj zabavne oblike. Palčka je namenjena temu, da jo držite pod vročo vodo, pri čemer obarva vodo v megleno oranžno barvo ter naredi mehurčke. Ti niso največji, saj so te kopeli na palčkah trše teksture in delujejo malce drugače. Večje mehurčke dosežeš z drobljenjem običajnih penečih kopeli. Pa vendar mi je všeč, da lahko kontroliram koliko mehurčkov želim. Je zabavna zadeva saj ima na palčki tudi zvonček ter lahko z njo krožiš po bani (no dokler se kopel ne stopi in pade dol). Vonj pa te spravi v boljšo voljo

Cena: 9.95€ (na voljo v trgovinah Maribor, Koper ter Ljubljana)

It's scented just like regular Brightside bubble bar, with: Tangerine Oil, Sicilian Mandarin Oil and Bergamot Oil. You're supposed to put it under running water and swirl around in the water while the bells make some sound. It makes your water light orange shade while leaving a fresh scent behing. However with these products on the stick, I feel like I don't get as many bubbles out of it. I could use it for about three times. Though it is really fun to use.
