At the end of fall in search of a gift for the colleague I came into lovely little shop of L'occitane, chose fragrant set on care of a body, and received two samplers of balm for lips as a gift. Each of 2 gr, i.e. in the sum is full stik balm. With such arsenal it is not terrible to enter in frosty and windy winter months.
Now one stik on an outcome time to open for the second therefore I am ready to share the impressions with you also came.
In spite of the fact that it pass the version, packing practically does not differ from the original. A white futlyarchik with registration in a dark zelonom color. Everything is simple, laconic and stylish. But here all necessary information holds: the product is manufactured in France and contains 10% of oil to the carriage. Well and of course, structure:
- octyldodecanol (fatty alcohol; acts as emulsifier and the stabilizer, fixes aromatic additives and has the conditioning effect on skin; in general is not hazardous to health)
- hydrogenated castor oil– the hydrogenated castor oil (softens skin, promotes keeping of moisture and creates a protective plenochka, at the same time it has a number of advantages before usual castor oil and is often used in cosmetics)
- butyrospermum parkii (shea butter) – shea butter (carriage) (That important costs high on the list ingredients! (smoothes skin, humidifies, intensively feeds, eliminates dryness and feeling of tightness, accelerates healing of cracks and inflammations, protects from harmful effects of UF, saves from chapping and frostbites)
- candelilla cera euphorbia cerifera candelilla wax is kandelilsky molochayny wax (replaces beeswax, creates dense texture and contains a set of nutrients, gives firmness to cosmetics)
- hydrogenated palm kernel glycerides is the Hydrogenated glyceride of palm oil (vegetable emolent, antioxidant, improves activity of lipidic exchange in cells of skin, reduces visibility of small mimic wrinkles)
- cera alba beeswax is beeswax (matts, helps to keep moisture content level, disinfects, increases elasticity and elasticity of skin)
- Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil is jojoba oil (looks after the dry and cracked lips, softens skin, feeds and eliminates painful manifestations and inflammations)
All components quite reliable are also designed to keep health and beauty of female lips. By sight lipstick of a yellowish and creamy shade with the pleasant aroma playing honey, vanilla and candy notes.
When drawing a certain heterogeneity of means as if at the time of preparation not all soft particles stirred is felt. However, it does not prevent lipstick to be distributed and lay down well on the surface of lips. It is worth noticing also one more nuance: balm "does not work" at low temperatures, i.e. at small minus stik becomes firm and unpleasant to use.
In general, L'occitane balm with the carriage performs all the functions on a firm four. Middlingly feeds and protects lips during bad weather, and here drawings it under decorative lipstick in general it seemed to me very uncomfortable as if something alien was on lips. So, it just wash preventive option for every day, but in the future I do not plan to buy. I involuntarily compare it to other options at more favorable prices. And this French miracle, for a minute, costs about 550 rubles.
Whether to choose to you such lip balm - solve.
