Passing or fancy? New Skincare & Haircare on Trial: Autumn 2016

Skincare & Haircare Trial from January is still highly favourable post on my blog. And I can see why. It's easy to read, informative, loaded with different products and it's a quick fix when you're doubting about any new product on the market. Shall we dig into another pile of new haircare and skincare?

Hottest New Skincare Right Now: Ren, Lancôme, Caudalie, Nuxe...

Wanna know what's new on our beauty market? Well, I've gathered a pretty big bunch of newly released products for face, lips and body. Some being instantly purchased after the release and some being kindly sent out to try. If you want to be updated, then you should keep on reading.

SLO

Želite slediti novostim na našem kozmetičnem trgu, pa je prevelika poplava izdelkov? Brez skrbi, jaz vam bom stvar olajšala s to objavo, kjer sem nabrala le najbolj zanimive in večinoma naravne izdelke, ki ponudijo le najboljše za nego obraza, telesa in ustnic. Jaz sem nad nekaterimi enostavno presenečena in bilo bi škoda, da se kateri od njih po pomoti spregleda. Če ste pripravljeni na negovalno raziskovanje, pa le nadaljujte z branjem.

Lancôme Énergie de Vie Liquid Moisturiser (around 30-35€ for 30ml, Lancôme counters) is a freshly released skincare for busy women, who need to add glow to their skincare regime. Lancôme refers the effect as a post-gym glow, that natural inner radiance, visible directly on your skin. Liquid Moisturiser is a Korean kind-of-thing as it's meant to be a liquidy, lightweight moisturiser that sinks into the skin in seconds. No more heavy-duty formulas for summer, bye! It's filled with antioxidants like goji berries and lemon balm oil, while you can easily layer other day creams or SPF protection without heavy filling. As of now, I can only report it's pretty lightweight liquid, that instantly sinks into the skin. I will report more after I thoroughly test out this energy gem.

Lancôme Énergie de Vie Tekoči Vlažilec (okoli 30-35€ za 30ml, Lancôme prodajna mesta v Muller, Nama, Maxi in Kompas Shop) je čisto sveže lansirana novost, najverjetneje o Lancôme Énergie de Vie tudi prvič berete. Linija je namenjena vsem mladim ženskam, ki imajo popolnoma zapolnjene urnike in živijo stresno življenje. Sam fokus linije je na antioksidantih kot so goji jagode in limonski izvleček, saj preprečijo staranje kože. Obenem pa Énergie de Vie podari koži naraven sijaj, kot bi ravno končali s svojo najljubšo telovadbo. Tekstura tega Tekočega Vlažilca se zgleduje po trendni teksturi iz Koreje, saj se v kožo takoj vpije, hkrati pa zagotavlja dovolj vlage kot naravna krema za obraz. Super inovacija za poletje, saj lahko odvržemo težke teksture in potenje. Kljub temu, se lahko čez izdelek zlahka slojijo še dodatni izdelki, če imate potrebo po bolj hranljivi negi. Čudovita inovacija izpod rok Lancôma. Več vtisov sledi kmalu.

Who doesn't want to be fresh like a lemon in summer? Nuxe outdid themselves again, as their organic Bio Beaute line got freshly squeezed products. Nuxe Toning & Nourishing Satin-touch Oil (17,50€ for 100ml, pharmacies worldwide) applies like a dream, as it's satiny dry on the touch and smells like a lemon-vanilla sorbet. Yum! Definitely my kind of scent, sweet but slightly sour like lemons. It should hydrate, nourish and tone your body with verbena extract from Corsica. Bio sesame oil gives satin touch and it's also good for your body and soul in Ayurveda (yes, I'm slightly broading my horizons). This dry oil doesn't leave greasy film and it's filled with vitamin E. It already won a prize from Vorte Beauty magazine, which is always a good sign. Nuxe 24hr Refreshing Deodorant (8,50€ for 50ml, pharmacies worldwide) has the same lemony-vanilla scent with a touch of herbs (I see sage, rosemary and verbena high on ingredient's list). It's in a roll-on form, which is not my favourite as I have to wait with my clothing. I could easily detect the scent of the deodorant all day, which is another good sign in natural deodorant department. It's not the best at protecting but it does minimise odor through the day. Which is understandable, as it's paraben, aluminium salt and alcohol free. Only thumbs up for now.

Kdo si ne želi biti svež kot limona na vroč poletni dan? Nuxe je zopet prekosil samega sebe, saj je Bio Beaute liniji dodal novo iztisnjene poletne izdelke, ki vsebujejo citronko s Korzike. Nuxe Satenasto Olje (15,75€ za 100ml, na Sophia ali v lekarnah) se nanaša božansko, saj je resnično lahkotno kot suho olje in hkrati zelo žametno na dotik. Sam vonj je neverjeten, saj spominja na limonin kolač z vanilijo. Kljub sladkemu vonju, je koža še vedno osvežena. Večji del bio sezamovega olja pa poskrbi za čutila, telo in duha - vsaj po ajurvedskih načelih. Obenem nahrani, navlaži, gladi in tonira kožo. Satenasto Olje je komaj dodobra prišel na kozmetični trg in je že pobral nagrado francoske revije Votre Beaute, kar je vedno dober znak. Novost je tudi Nuxe 24hr Osvežujoči Dezodorant (7,65€ za 50ml, na Sophia ali v lekarnah), ki ima enak vanilijev-limonin vonj s primesjo vodic žajblja, rožmarina in citronke. Deodorant je v tekoči obliki s roll-on kroglico, ki meni ni sicer najljubša oblika. Kljub temu, deodorant lepo zakrije neprijeten vonj čez dan, na žalost pa ne prepreči potenja. Kar je vsesplošna slabost naravnih deodorantov, saj ne vsebujejo aluminijevih soli, parabenov in alkohola. Zaenkrat pohvale za oba produkta.

Weleda Evening Primrose joined Weleda family for a reason. Primrose is known for it's healing and protecting abilities, making it great for your skincare. It nourishes, protects and gives natural glow to the skin, that's why I became really interest in their Night Cream (23,95 for 30ml, Feelunique) and Cream for Eyes & Lips (22,95€ for 10ml, Feelunique). It's actually meant for more mature skin, but that didn't stop me from achieving perfectly radiant skin. Both have a strong floral scent that's typical for Weleda but they're superb in texture department. It should also re-activate your skin cell metabolism to increase natural glow and toned skin. A lovely natural, organic alternative to combat first lines and achieving radiant skin.

Kaj je novega pri Weledi? Poleg nove slovenske spletne strani, se je njihovi organski liniji pridružil tudi svetlin, ki je že dolgo časa poznan po sposobnosti globinskega vlaženja, obnavljanja kože in povečanja naravnega sijaja kože. Linija za nego obraza je sicer namenjena starejšim ženskam po 40.letu, katere potrebujejo dodatno spodbudo pri delovanju kožnih celic. Kljub temu, me je izjemno pritegnila zmožnost povečanja sijaja, kar je vedno dobrodošlo na moji dokaj suhi koži. Nočna Krema s svetlinovim oljem (23,95€ za 30ml, Tamaschi ali Muller & DM) je obogatena tudi z incha inchi oljem in oljem pšeničnih kalčkov, ki kožo krepijo in bogato nahranijo. Linija ima značilno močan cvetlični vonj in vedno lepo mazljive teksture. Prav tako je zanimiva Krema za okrog oči in ustnice (22,95€ za 10ml, Tamaschi ali Muller & DM), ki učvrsti in minimalizira videz drobnih gubic.

Belweder are plant-based lipbalms (4,75-6,60€, pharmacies) made in France. Belweder is fun, youthful, energising and trendy. I adore their packaging and I'm stunned looking at the ingredients. They have a perfect balance of pleasant texture, lovely scents, cute packaging and amazing ingredients, no kidding. Each sort has a different scent, that is pretty much subtle but really yummy. For example, Antioxidant Lip balm is a perfect example of orange creamsicle. Lip Glow smells like vanilla strawberry and gives a tint (similar to Dior Lip Glow), while push-up lipbalms are just as good as EOS-looking sphere balms. I'm in love so be prepared for an indepth review in the near future. If I'm not mistaken, they are widely available in Nederlands, Germany, Poland and France.

Belweder so rastlinski balzami za ustnice (4,75€-6,60€, na spletu in kmalu po lekarnah v Sloveniji), ki so ravnokar vstopili v Slovenijo. Francoska znamka, ki se lahko kosa z opevanimi EOS balzami. Še bolje, teksture so lepše mazljive, vonji prečudoviti, sestavine naravne in embalaža izjemno ljubka. Vsaka barva ima svoj namen in svoj vonj: Oranžna kroglica balzama je polna antioksidantov in diši kot jugoslovanska pomarančna lučka. Medtem ko roza sferica Lip Glow doda malce naravne roza tinte (podobno Dior Lip Glow). Vsi balzami na potisk imajo podobne vonje in okuse, razen to, da so v veliko bolj priročni embalaži kot standardni balzami. Vsi dišijo božansko, kljub temu, da so vonji dokaj naravni, prijetni in nevsiljivi. Več o teh ljubkih balzamih si lahko preberete v prihodnjih objavah. Trenutno so na voljo v ljubljanskih lekarnah, se pa počasi širijo po ostalih lekarnah po Sloveniji.

Ren Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial (40€ for 40ml, online or Ren counters) or overnight miracle worker easily deserves to be on my top skincare list. Easily as that, Ren never disappoints and I can 100% guarantee you'll be surprised with all of their products. They're simply the best, still (I've been raving about Clay Cleanser here). Their prices are not so pocket-friendly but they'll deliver with amazing results on your skin. Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial gives instant results in the morning as it exfoliates with AHAs, lactic and glycolic acid. Skin is resurfaced and acids help to get rid of melanin and skin blemishes. Omega oils and sodium lactate rehydrate and heal. Skin looks plump, radiant, refined and smoother than before. I treat myself to this night cream every 1-2 times a week, treating this wonder like a pure diamond. Note, that the acids sting a little when the night facial is applied. On top of all, REN doesn't test on animals, it's 100% plant-based and has fantastic ingredients.

Ren Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial (40€ za 40ml, na spletu in Muller) bi lahko oklicala kar nočni čudež. Z največjo hitrostjo se je povzpel na lestvico mojih najljubših negovalnih izdelkov, kar ne preseneča, saj je Ren ena izmed najbolj zanesljivih znamk na tržišču. Britanci še kako dobro vedo, kaj delajo, saj vsak Ren produkt preseneti z rezultati v minimalnem času. Zato tudi 100% jamčim za njih, ker me še nikoli niso razočarali (o Ren sem že pisala tukaj). Čeprav so cene primerne sami kakovosti, vedno rade volje kupim kakšen njihov izdelek za sijaj kože. Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial dokaže učinkovitost čez noč, saj kožo obnavlja in izboljša s AHA kislinami ter mlečno in glikolno kislino. Obenem jo intenzivno navlaži, izboljša in nahrani. Kremo uporabljam kot redek diamant - enkrat ali dvakrat na teden je popolnoma dovolj, da se znebim nepravilnosti in mozoljčkov, obenem pa spet pridobim zdrav sijaj kože. Čisto normalno je, da izdelek malce zapeče ob stiku s kožo. Kot češnja na smetani je Ren prav tako 100% rastlinska znamka, ne testira na živalih in vsebuje neverjetne sestavine.

If you're already annoyed with bugs and other creepy insects that suck your blood, L'Occitane might have the au-naturel solution. L'Occitane Verveine Outdoor Body Spray (12,70€ for 100ml, online & L'Occitane stores) is a newly added thingy to protect you when you're discovering outdoors. Not only it smells refreshingly citrusy and sour, it also has essential oils of geranium, lavender, eucalyptus, verbena, lemongrass and mint. Not everyone's cup of tea but it's a pretty neat solution to avoid unpleasant bugs. Scent kind of reminds me of dog collar repellents, while still being much more fresh, juicy, sour and bitter like verveine itself.

Če se že jezite nad motečimi žuželkami, ki se rade poslužijo vaše krvi, potem ima L'Occitane au-naturel rešitev za vas. L'Occitane Citronkina Meglica za Telo (12,70€ za 100ml, na spletu ali L'Occitane trgovine) je nova pridobitev že skoraj tradicionalne Citronke. Je čudovita meglica za uporabo v naravi, saj ima dodana eterična olja sivke, geranije, mete in evkaliptusa. Mešanica deluje kot odganjalec mrčesa, še vedno pa boste dišali po osvežujoči citronki. Priznam, da me mešanica na hitro malce spominja na pasje ovratnice za odvračanje klopov, vendar je vonj še vseeno subtilen, sočen, osvežujoč in prijeten na koži. Poleg tega sem opazila, da težko prenašam toaletne vodice drugih znamk, odkar sem se privadila na bolj naravne dišave L'Occitane. Zanimivo.

Caudalie Vinosource got brand new quadruplets for moisturising young skin. Pink is never a wrong answer and the entire line looks like an ombre of pinks. Ombre goes from ultra light textures and mattifying properties for combination/sensitive skin up to ultra rich formulas for very dry, dry and normal skin. I got the second darkest tube, which is Moisture Recovery Cream (28,35€ for 40ml, online) for dry skin. For now, it's pretty moisturising and nourishing. Oils from boraga and grapes are replenishing, while polyphenols from grape seeds and hyluaronic acid gives that extra kick of moisture and protects from free radicals. As always, texture is utterly pleasant and easy to use in the morning and evening.

Caudalie Vinosource liniji se je rodil nov četvorček nege obraza za mlado kožo. Roza barva ni nikoli napačen odgovor, zato so celotno linijo preoblekli v pravo pink ombre simfonijo. Formule se razlikujejo glede na barvo in potekajo od svetlo roza za mešano/mastno kožo pa vse do fuksije in vijolično roza za suhe, normalne in zelo suhe tipe kože. Jaz sem dobila 2.najtemnejši odtenek, Vinosource Obnavljajoča Krema (28,35€ za 40ml, Vivaderm ali Muller), kar pomeni, da je primerna za suh tip kože. Zaenkrat je krema prijetno vlažilna in hkrati malce gostejša. Olje borage in grozdja še izdatno nahrani kožo in zadrži vlago, medtem ko polifenoli grozdnih pešk poskrbijo za zaščito pred prostimi radikali. Hialuronska kislina prav tako lepo veže vlago za mladosten sijaj. Krema je primerna za dnevno in nočno nego.

Weleda covers all family members & Nail Care Giveaway

Weleda as a multi tasking brand easily takes care of all your family members without any harsh or irritating chemicals. If you cherish your health and health of your loved ones, then don't look any further. Weleda is not only looking sunny bright with colorful packaging, but it rather delivers with lovely textures and effective ingredients. I'm more and more impressed with days of testing and I truly fallen in love with their body and face creams. Along with regular Weleda products, they recently released two new lines and a basket full of festive Christmas sets in their best selling scents like wild rose, sea buckthorn, almond and pomegranate.

SLO

Weleda s svojo vsestranskostjo poskrbi prav za vsakega člana družine, brez nevarnih ali škodljivih sestavin. Če radi poskrbite za svoje zdravje, hkrati pa želite v tem prazničnem času obdariti s sončno obarvano kolekcijo nege, potem je Weleda pravi naslov. Tega ne trdim izključno po prvem vtisu embalaž, ampak sem iz dneva v dan bolj očarana tudi s samimi teksturami znotraj ličnih produktov. Sicer mogoče ne bodo vsi izdelki pisani na kožo čisto vsakemu, vendar z gotovostjo verjamem, da nega za obraz in telo ne bo razočarala. Poleg rednih izdelkov, ki jih lahko odlično zapakiramo zaradi zunanjih škatlic, Weleda tokrat ponuja tudi praznične sete izdelkov za prhanje in losjonov za telo v njihovih značilnih vonjih vrtnice, granatnega jabolka, mandlja, sivke in rakitovca. Vse sete, ki so na voljo v Sloveniji, lahko naročite in jih podrobno raziščete tukaj. 

Natural fragrance for hard-working mom and grandma

Weleda perfumes Jardin de Vie (about 19,99€ at 50ml) are a pretty recent novelties on Weleda shelves. Inspiration came from live gardens and their popular lines of rose, sea buckthorn and pomegranate. I admit, scent is pretty unknown to my scent buds and the intensity is really strong. Rose, a cheerful natural interpretation of Chloe, and Agrume, a sparkly citrusy sugared scent can definitely cover a more younger and also mature generation. They are both fresh with a lovely herbal twist that's almost unnoticeable. Moms and middle aged women will be thrilled. On the other hand, Grenade is a much more mature scent with neroli, orange, vanilla. It's for older women with more grace and more sharp taste. It's nothing like pomegranate but rather a herbal mix of citruses and neroli.

Naravne dišave za mamo ali babico, kateri si zaslužita več kot poljub

Dišave Jardin de Vie (19,99€ za 50ml) so dokaj nove pridobitve na Weleda policah. Inspiracija se je črpala iz že obstoječih a trdno zasidranih linij, zakar smo priča trem naravnim dišavam divje vrtnice, rakitovca in granatnega jabolka. Priznam, da smo mi vonji popolnoma tuji v primerjavi z ostalimi sintetičnimi dišavami. So nekaj posebnega, zato priporočam da jih povonjate pred nakupom. Kljub temu vam lahko pomagam z nekaj iztočnicami po mojem okusu. Na lastno presenečenje sem najbolj navdušena nad divjo vrtnico, kljub temu da ne maram vonja pravih vrtnic. Spominja na Chloe parfume, obenem pa vsebuje bergamotko, geranijo, ylang-ylang in cedro. Vsekakor najbolj mladostna izbira. Obenem je tudi rakitovec dokaj svež in citrusen, osebno me spominja na citrusne šumeče tablete. Moji mami je neznansko všeč, meni niti ne tako zelo. Divjo vrtnico ter rakitovec bi lahko uporabljale mlade ženske ali tiste v zlatih srednjih letih. Nepričakovano granatno jabolko je popolno nasprotje od svežine - z nerolijem, pomarančo, davano in vanilijo je vonj malce težek ampak mogočen. Primeren je tako za zimske dni, kot tudi starejše ženske z močno izoblikovanim in prefinjenim okusom. 

Skin food for father's and boyfriend's scratches

Skinfood cream (5,69-11,00€) from Weleda is a herbal classic among many beauty enthusiasts. It takes care of every wound, scratch or cracked skin while it soothes with herbal extracts like marigold, chamomile and many others. Due to high percentage of herbal, it also has a distinct scent that's easily unisex. Actually, your boyfriend or dad will probably like the scent even more. Cream can be used absolutely everywhere - from knees up to elbows, lips and face. Dry skin with dry patches can also be fixed in the matter of days. I preferably use it around my nose area or through entire face when my skin is dry.

Hrana za očetove ali fantove praske, ki so jih neštetokrat pridobili le za vas

Krema Skin Food (5,69€ za 30ml) je Weledina klasika, ki je nikakor ne smete zamuditi. Poskrbi prav za vsak hrapav kotiček kože in vsako prasko, saj na osnovi zelišč pomirja in neguje suho, hrapavo ali razpokano kožo. Mačeha, kamilica in ognjič bodo varno zaščitili, hkrati pa dodajo kremi dokaj zeliščen vonj. Krema se tako rekoč lahko uporablja vsepovsod - od komolcev, kolen in obraza. Suha koža, ki se malce lušči, mi je še kako znana v zimskih dneh. Sama najraje uporabljam Skin Food na okončinah ali po obrazu - negovalna olja in zelišča še kako prijajo kot dodatna nega. Ravno zaradi zeliščnega vonja je Skin Food primeren tudi za moške in bodo še kako radi videli, da jim ponudite dodatno nego.

Gentle rose for older sister or young mom to maintain youthful skin

Along with other Weleda face moisturizers, is Wild Rose Smoothing Day Cream (about 16,78€ for 30ml) definitely the first pick to combat first lines and wrinkles. With soothing wild rose oil you'll bound to see success. It helps to reduce the appearance of ageing and smoothes out the skin's texture. It increases elasticity and keeps skin hydrated through the day. It's perfect for all women over 25-30 and I love to use it before my actual makeup application. It has a light yet creamy texture that's perfect for cold weather. Along with Wild Rose, there's also an option of Almond care for sensitive skin, Iris for hydration, Pomegranate for anti-age effect and Primrose for radiance.

Nežna vrtnica za starejšo sestro ali mlado mamico, ki želi ohraniti mladostni obraz

Poleg vseh mogočih krem za obraz iz Welede, je Vlažilna krema divje vrtnice (16,78€ za 30ml) pritegnila mojo pozornost izključno zaradi predhodnih priporočil na spletu. Ker je nega dokaj hranljiva in vrtnica uspešno zadržuje vlago v koži, lahko omili tudi dejavnike staranja. Prve gubice so lahko majhna nadloga, vendar z redno uporabo olja divje vrtnice v sami kremi izboljša elastičnost in obnavljanje kože. Primerna je za vse nad 30.letom, kljub temu pa jo sama obožujem kot podlago za ličila. Ima lahko teksturo, hkrati pa odlično nahrani mojo suho kožo. Enostavno varna izbira, če pa obožujete vonj vrtnic, pa se lahko ponovno zaljubite. Za občutljivo kožo je na voljo mandelj, linija perunike bo poskrbela za normalno in mešano kožo, medtem ko granatno jabolko kožo napne. Vse linije za obraz si oglejte tukaj.

Magical sticks for sister's polished nails and cuticles

Pomegranate nail care is also a recent novelty among Weleda's family. It includes three products that will make your cuticles and nails shine. Nail Care Pen in particular is one of the products that caught my attention due to horrific cuticles on my sister's hands. They were painful, obvious and of need for extra care. Nail Care Pen sorted out her problems in no time, I can easily say within a week or two. The texture is light but oily and sinks into the cuticles in terms of seconds. It also smells like fresh orange or pomegranate, absolutely yummy. The other two, Cuticle Softener Pen and Shine Pen can be tested by you - just follow until the end of the post for a small giveaway.

Magične paličice za vedno urejene sestrine nohtke in obnohtno kožico

Tudi nega nohtov z granatnim jabolkom je svež vetrič na našem trgu. Oboževalke manikur in vedno urejenih nohtov bodo popolnoma očarane nad tremi izdelki (9,99-10,99€), ki sestavljajo linijo. S sestro sva potestirali Svinčnik za nego nohtov in obnohtne kožice, vam pa v nadaljevanju objave prepuščam test ostalih dveh paličic. Z čopastim aplikatorjem se je oljna vsebina zlahka nanesla na obnohtno kožico. Tekstura je enostavno fenomenalna, saj je oljnata, hkrati pa se v trenutku vpije in ne pušča oljnih sledi. Obnohtna kožica se je popravila že po nekaj nanosih in dnevih, sam zapeljiv vonj granatnega jabolka pa omami. Vsekakor dobi Svinčnik za nego nohtov in obnohtne kožice en velik plus za takšno učinkovitost in odlično teksturo. Ponavadi ne opazim sprememb tako hitro, ampak ta svinčnik je zlata vreden. Učinek lahko pripišem naravnim sestavinam kot so karitejevo maslo, olje granatnega jabolka in čebeljemu vosku ter oljem kokosa, soje, mandlja, jojobe. Le katera bi se lahko uprla urejenim nohtom?

Almond Care from Weleda

Weleda, a German favourite among many beauty enthusiasts, who appreciate quality and amazing performance. Weleda is not that kind of beauty brand, which instantly steals the show with packaging but rather slowly waiting for it's turn. It will not be your one night stand and it will not leave you disappointed. Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? Oppose to mind blowing textures and superb quality, Weleda is also natural organic, cruelty free, mostly vegan, biodynamic, whereas toxins, additives and mineral oil just won't do. It looks after the well-being of our planet and people and opts for fair-trade and holistic approach to fulfil your body and soul. Easily said, you can safely indulge into Weleda world, starting with their new Almond bodycare line that smells like a creamy marzipan...

SLO

Weleda, nemška kozmetična ljubljenka, je dobro poznana kot negovalna kozmetika mnogoterim lepotnim navdušencem in mojstrom ličenja. Weleda nikakor ni tista vrsta znamke, ki takoj pritegne poglede z bahavo embalažo. Nasprotno, le-ta mirno čaka na svojo priložnost. Weleda ne bo muha enodnevnica, niti vas ne bo pustila razočarane. Sliši se kot odličen partner za nežno kožo, kar tudi je, z odličnimi teksturami in krasno kvaliteto. Če vam na hitro predstavim novo ljubljenko vaše kože, je Weleda naravno organska, večinoma veganska, biodinamična znamka, ki ne testira na živalih. Obenem si prizadeva za dobro planeta, s pravično trgovino pridobiva sestavine in holistično poskrbi za telo in duha. Toksini, mineralna olja, aditivi ne bodo nikoli zadovoljivi. Enostavno povedano, Weledi se lahko v celoti prepustite brez skrbi.

Almond Body Care line or should I say Mandel Pflege, is an extension of previously released Almond Face Care. It's exactly what I would call a marizpan dream as it has a true almond scent that's not overpowering or sickly sweet but rather a mild neutral version for everyone's taste. Almond line combines only the best out of one nutty almond world. Firstly, formula is extremely nourishing and rich to protect your skin from damage. Almond is also a miracle worker for all sensitive skin types as it nourishes and protects like it's shell (also the base for almond oil) protects almond core. Which actually doesn't mean that the textures are super heavy but they are light, comfortable and easily absorbed. I should also note that Almond skincare cares for balanced pH and it's perfect for those of you, who are sensitive to all kinds of skincare ingredients.

Mandelj linija za občutljivo kožo je novejši podaljšek že obstoječe Mandelj linije za obraz. Je točno to, kar bi lahko poimenovali marcipanove sanje, saj izdelki nimajo prisiljenega vonja, ampak poskrbijo za bolj zemeljski pridih mandlja. Ni presladek, ni premočan, ravno dovolj subtilen in nežen za občutljivo kožo. Mandelj linija zajema najboljše iz sveta oreščkov, saj je mandljevo olje poznano po negovalnih učinkih in lahki teksturi. Obenem Mandljeva linija obvaruje vašo kožo, kakor mandljeva lupina (iz katere nastane tudi 40-60% samega mandljevega olja) obvaruje jedrce. Je tudi pravi mali čudež za občutljivo kožo, katera takoj reagira na močne kemikalije in sestavine. Kljub temu, da je baza izdelkov mandljevo olje, še ne pomeni da je tekstura Mandljeve linije težka in neudobna. Nasprotno, sama sem bila presenečena nad lahkimi teksturami, ki se vpijejo v nekaj sekundah, a hkrati pustijo negovalen sloj lahkega, mandljevega olja. Obenem ne smem pozabiti omeniti, da Weleda ne spremeni pH ravnovesja v koži. 

Almond Sensitive Skin Hand Cream (50ml for 7,60-14,03€, also online) in particular, seems to be efficient but extra light in texture, which makes it perfect for daily activities without greasy leftover. Almond scent is just a step away from being perfectly balanced for all - those, hungry for marizpan scents, and those, who are extra sensitive to scents. In this festive time of year, due to easily absorbed formula with almond oil, you won't be experiencing any cookie crumbs sticking to your fingers. Scent lingers for about an hour and you will absolutely fall in love with the first touch.

Mandelj Krema za roke za občutljivo kožo (50ml at 7,60€, v drogerijah in na spletu) je prva stvar, ki se mi je takoj priljubila. Pri kremah za roke takoj opazim teksturo - ali je znosna ali pač ni za nobeno uporabo. Dejansko sem bila presenečena nad lahkotno teksturo, ki se takoj vpije v kožo, obenem pa ni zategovanja kože na rokah. Ne pusti mastnega sloja, hkrati pa je koža olajšana. Tudi sam vonj mandlja ali marcipana ni daleč od popolnega ravnovesja, saj poteši željo po marcipanu, hkrati pa je vonj dovolj nevtralen za vse uporabnike. Vonj se malce zadrži a tudi hitro izgine. V tem prazničnem času ste lahko prepričani, da se drobtinice piškotov ne bodo lepile na vaše prstke.

Almond Sensitive Skin Body Wash (200ml for 8,08-11,21€, also online) has a true, creamy white consistency with a bit more softer and cleaner almond scent. The true success hides in the final result: skin feels soft, subtle and without any traces of skin dryness. It's perfect, maybe not in the scent department if you're opting for strong scents, but truly helps with dry and sensitive skin. I could easily recommend this body wash for babies too. It also contains a fair share of almond oil. It's creamy and velvety but slowly transforms into a mild foam when rinsing.

Mandelj Losjon za prhanje za občutljivo kožo (200ml za 8,08€, v drogerijah in na spletu) resnično preseneti z nenavadno, losjon teksturo, ki je na občutek zelo mehka. Vonj je sicer nežen, skoraj neznatno mandljev s kančkom vonja po bombažu. Vonj nikakor ni glavni atribut, sploh če uživate v močnejših vonjih. Kar me je najbolj pritegnilo pri celotnem konceptu, je vlažilen občutek po samem prhanju. Suhe kože ne zateguje, hkrati pa z žametno teksturo poskrbi za svilnato izkušnjo. Popolnoma lahko priporočam Losjon za prhanje vsem z občutljivo in suho kožo, saj prav tako vsebuje nekaj mandljevega olja. Losjon je kremen, žameten in se spremeni v nežno peno po izpiranju.

Almond Sensitive Skin Body Lotion (200ml for 16,22-19,67€, also online) has a lighter consistency than their hand cream, but that doesn't mean it's less efficient. In terms of texture, is pretty much what I would call a true lotion. Spreads super easy, it's light and comfortable yet it leaves almost an oily residue. It's hard to explain but in no where bothering or unpleasant to the skin. It's not something you don't feel after half an hour but retains nourishing effect entire day. Again, scent is not as strong as with hand cream but barely noticeable after application. Due to light, easy to spread texture, this will last for a month or two of regular use.

Mandelj Negovalni losjon za telo za občutljivo kožo (200ml za 16,22€, v drogerijah in na spletu) ima vsekakor še lažjo teksturo kot Krema za roke. Kljub skoraj tekoči formuli, losjon zadostno vlaži kožo, opazila pa sem tudi nemoteč sloj po sami absorbciji kreme. Le-ta občutek negovane kože se ohrani čez cel dan. Ker je Negovalni losjon tako redek a učinkovit, bo zagotovo zadostoval za mesec ali dva redne uporabe. Vonj je znova zelo nevsiljivo podoben mandlju in hkrati čist, a ponikne skupaj z losjonom. Losjon je enostaven za uporabo in primeren tudi za jutranji nanos pred vsakodnevnimi opravili. 

All in all, who can resist sweet baby pink packaging and almond/marzipan scent? The main card is actually within Weleda line: non-greasy and non-sticky texture that soothes sensitive skin. I wouldn't call myself as a particularly sensitive but it's a nice breath of fresh air after trying tons of highly fragrant bodycare. Safe skincare is also not a factor to be forgotten. I also need to bring out one more thing around natural organic cosmetics in general. We've probably all been there, where natural brands usually release a fairly rotten citrusy scents or utterly unpleasant textures - I'm talking in general. With Weleda, there's only top notch quality and lovely textures with soothing scents. You can find Weleda worldwide, in bio stores, drugstores or pharmacies. It's also sold online on Feelunique with a bit higher prices.

Le katera se lahko upre svetlo roza barvi in vonju mandlja? Univerzalna kombinacija, ki bo všeč vsaki ženski. Vsekakor pa ni to zmagovalna karta Welede, ampak polaga vse upe v koncept, kvaliteto in čudovite teksture izdelkov. Formula Mandljeve linije je nelepljiva in nemastna, obenem pa čudovito pomirja in neguje občutljivo kožo. Sama se sicer ne bi opredelila kot občutljiv tip kože, je pa Weleda vsekakor svež veter v moji veliki zbirki preveč dišečih in umetnih izdelkov za telo. Zdrava in varna negovalna kozmetika je prav tako vrlina Welede. Mogoče bi še opozorila na samo primerjavo z ostalo naravno kozmetiko. Namreč, ne dvomim da je tudi katera od vas že imela neprijetne izkušnje z naravno kozmetiko. Generalno, sem sama največkrat opazila zelo neprijeten, ponavljajoč vonj po zelo dozorelih citrusih ali pa se je izdelek svaljkal na moji koži. Tega pri Weledi ni, saj resnično meša kvaliteto z lepimi teksturami, kar lahko potrdi moje zgornje navdušenje. Na dlani še imam nekaj Weleda izdelkov za vas (kultno Skinfood in dnevno kremo Vrtnica), obenem pa se moja Weleda lista želja vedno bolj veča. Weleda izdelke lahko najdete v večjih trgovinah, bioloških trgovinah, lekarnah, na spletni trgovini Tamaschi in vseh DM in Muller drogerijah. Naj vas opozorim tudi na trenutne DM Bone ugodnosti za naravno kozmetiko, kjer lahko dobite -50% kartonček na vse tri Weleda izdelke do 12.12.2015.
