Review: Herbio Cotton Seed Shower Gel

Hey Beauties!

I've already spoken a little about Herbio, which is Slovenian skin care brand based on traditional herbs. I've already reviewed their Cream Kalei and AHA Fruit Peeling Mask. You'll love their products if you're looking for something a bit more natural and definitely sensitive enough. 


I got their Cotton Seed Shower Gel on an event that Tatjana and I organized - Pomurje Bloggers. In all honesty, I don't get super excited about shower gels. Yes, they smell nice, but most of those just irritate my skin. Especially in colder months I get allergy on my back and I have very dry flaky skin. Aggressive perfumed shower gels just tend to make my skin even drier and flakier. The only shower gel that I used up to now, was Balea Med shower gel with PH 5,5. Now, I can happily report that I found another alternative for my sensitive skin.

It comes in a plastic bottle and apparently all their packaging is recyclable. They've also changed their design. It's simplistic and artsy. It costs 8€ and in it is 200 ml of shower gel. You can buy it here. Here you'll also find the ingredients list. 


The top is actually a screw on top and it goes off the packaging completely. Not like those pop up tops. This is inconvenient. It usually happens that I can't screw it back on while showering, so I just do it after I'm finished. The bottle has a fairly firm plastic, but you can squeeze it out with no problem. 


It has a rather interesting texture compared to others. It's like a gel,  feels thick, but it's still pretty runny. It has a slight green tint to its transparency. You actually need less of it than you'd think. It doesn't leather like most shower gels, because it is more natural. That doesn't bother me at all. It actually leathers better than I expected it too. The proof is on the photo. It's by no means hydrating (because to be honest, there is no such shower gel), but it definitely doesn't dry out the skin or leave it squeaky clean.


It has a gentle almost sleepy smell. The smell reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it.

This is one of the rare shower gels that doesn't irritate me. Most shower gels cause red patches on my skin after the shower and itching. This one doesn't do any of this. It really is mild and sensitive skin approved. I have to say that I agree with everything that Herbio says about it. 

I would recommend this especially to those who have a dry, itchy, sensitive skin and have hard time finding shower gels that don't irritate their skin. It's also a nice shower gel for everyone else that has a bit more sensitized skin especially in colder months and for those who like to put more natural products on their body.

O Herbio izdelkih sem že govorila na mojem blogu. Ocenila sem že Kremo Kalei in AHA sadno masko. Njihove izdelke boste vzljubili, če so vam všeč bolj naravni izdelki in če imate občutljivo kožo.

Njihov Gel za prhanje Bombažna semena sem dobila na dogodku, ki sva ga organizirali s Tatjano - Pomurje Bloggers. Po pravici povedano me noben gel za prhanje ne navduši preveč. Ja, lepo dišijo, ampak večina teh iritira mojo kožo. Še posebej v hladnih dneh, ko dobim alergijo na hrbtu in imam na sploh zelo suho luskasto kožo. Agresivno parfumirani geli za prhanje samo še dodatno iritirajo mojo kožo in jo naredijo še bolj suho. Edini gel za prhanje, ki sem ga do zdaj uporabljala je bil od Bale iz Med kolekcije z PH 5,5. Zdaj lahko veselo poročam, da sem našla drugo alternativo za mojo občutljivo kožo.

Gel za prhanje ima plastično embalaža in vse njihove embalaže se lahko reciklirajo. Pred časom so tudi spremenili dizajn. Je preprost in umetniški. Gel za prhanje stane 8€ in v njem je 200 ml izdelka. Izdelek lahko kupite tukaj, kjer boste našli tudi seznam sestavin. 

Pokrov se do konca odvije od embalaže. To ni praktično. Večinoma se niti ne trudim zapreti gela med prhanjem, ampak to naredim po prhi. Embalaža je iz srednje trde plastike, ampak še vedno z lahkoto iztisnem izdelek.

Tekstura je gel. Malo gostejši, a vseeno dokaj tekoč. Je transparenten, vendar ima dodano zelenkasto barvo. Potrebujete ga manj kot bi si mislili. Ni tipičen gel in zato se tudi ne bo penil tako kot večina drugih. Mene to sploh ne moti. Še vedno se peni bolj kot sem pričakovala od naravnega izdelka. Kot dokaz sem priložila fotografijo. Vsekakor ni vlažilen (če smo iskreni, noben gel za prhanje ni). Prav tako ne izsuši kože ali je pusti "preveč" čiste. 

Ima nežen skoraj zaspan vonj. Spominja me na nekaj, ampak se nikakor ne morem spomniti na kaj. 

To je en izmed redkih gelov za prhanje, ki ne iritira moje kože. Večina gelov na moji koži povzroči rdeče madeže in po njih me vedno srbi koža. Ta pa nič od tega. Res je zelo nežen in primeren za občutljivo kožo. Moram povedati, da se strinjam z vsem kar Herbio pravi o tem izdelku. 

Ta gel za prhanje bi priporočala predvsem tistim, ki imajo suho, srbečo, občutljivo kožo in ki s težavo najdejo gele za prhanje, ki jih ne bi iritirali. Je tudi dober gel za vse tiste, ki imajo rahlo bolj občutljivo kožo predvsem v teh mrzlih mesecih in tistim, ki na svojo kožo raje dajejo bolj naravne izdelke.

Review: La Roche-Posay Hydreane Riche Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin

Hey Beauties!

A while ago I was a lucky winner and won this La Roche-Posay Hydreane Riche moisturizing cream for sensitive skin on Sandra's blog The Puzzle of Sandra's Life. I never thought I would like this cream so much, but then again La Roche-Posay is an amazing brand, so it's no surprise. 


It's a cream for sensitive skin and it's suppose to soothe, hydrate and moisturize your skin. It's meant to be as a daily care to make your skin feel comfortable and reduce any skin sensitivity. Texture of the cram is enriched with shea butter. It also contains hydrolipids and La Roche-Posay thermal spring water. 

It comes in a plastic squeezable tube and it's one of the most hygienic packaging for a face cream. The prices are different from one store to another, but it costs around 14€ and you get 40 ml of product. 



Here is the ingredients list.


As I've mentioned a few times, my skin is more on the combination side and pretty oily in the summer. However, the winter has done it's job, so I'm religiously using rich creams to insert some life into my skin. This cream is a rich version, but they have light version as well. It's for dry skin. The texture is pretty light for a rich cream. It's not thick, not runny, something in between. It's very smooth and spreads on the face with no problem. It does feel pretty rich once you start to massage it in. It has that slippery feeling of butter mixed with cream. That being said, it soaks into the skin really fast. It leaves behind surprisingly matte finish, but it still feels like it's locking in the moisture underneath the skin surface. Skin feels amazingly soft afterwards. The texture surprised me. Most of the rich creams are very greasy and leave that finish behind, but this soaks in and almost gives you a matte finish, incredible. The skin still gets the moisture and it looks pretty plumped. 



I also have a pretty sensitive skin and this cream worked great. No red patches, no itchiness. It does have a subtle smell to it, but for some reason it doesn't irritate my skin at all. It's a really good cream and I've been using it every day. Now I'm kind of afraid I got addicted and will need to buy one, when I use this one. It's not the cheapest, but it's a really good light moisturizing cream for mixed or dry skin. If you hate rich greasy creams and have sensitive skin that needs moisture, than I highly recommend this one. 

Review: Green Line Clear Active Micellar Cleansing Water

Hey Beauties!

A few weeks ago I got this new Micellar Cleansing Water from Green Line. They send it to me and some face cream, which I'll review separately. Green Line is Slovenian brand, but I think it's also available in some other countries. I've been using this product every single time, I needed to remove my makeup, so I tested it pretty well.


The micellar water comes in a plastic bottle with a screw on top. It's pretty practical in my opinion. There's a little hole on the top. Through it goes as much product as you want. I usually squeeze it a little, while I'm pouring it pout on the cotton pad. The hole is also small enough so that I can put my cotton swab next to the hole and get it wet (if you've seen my cleansing routine, you'll know which step is that). 


Here is the ingredients list for all of those interested.


Now on to the micellar water itself. First thing is the smell, which is pretty strong and very floral. It contains orange flower water. I'm not big on smells in skin care, but I don't mind them either. I love the fact that it doesn't contain any paraben, mineral oils, silicons or alcohol. It's transparent and of course has consistency of water.

The thing I really liked about it is that it really is gentle. I have a pretty sensitive skin and after using this micellar water I didn't get any red spots, irritations or itchiness. It does remove makeup nicely. I think that you'll need a lot in order to get all of your face makeup off, but I like to use micellar waters for eye makeup removal only. I did try it on the entire face as well and it did the job well. It's sensitive enough for the eyes. This product also promises to moisturize and it does. Right after the use the skin feels a bit sticky and then it mattes down. It does feel a bit moisturizing, but I always wash micellar water off and don't think that anyone would use it for moisturizing purposes. The good thing is also the no alcohol ingredients list, which can make skin dry out. 

The micellar water supposedly cost something around 4 € and you get 200 ml of product.

I only use micellar waters for removing eye makeup. This Green Line version worked really nicely with my sensitive skin and I think it's a pretty good product. It smells nice, does the job and everything else that promises and is pretty affordable. A very good choice for anyone on the budget or looking for a nice gentle face product. Recommend :).


Thank you Green Line for sending me this product. I love the fact that Slovenian brands are reaching out to bloggers and hope to see more collaborations. 

Zdaj pa še kratek prevod za vse slovenske bralke. Green Line mi je pred nekaj tedni poslal njihovo novo micelno čistilno vodico. Embalaža je plastična in na vrhu je majhna odprtinica, ki omogoča enostavno doziranje izdelka. Vodica diši zelo močno cvetlično in je prozorna. Vodica dobro odstrani ves makeup. Najraje pa vodice uporabljam za odstranjevanje očesnega makeupa. Takoj po nanosu je koža rahlo lepljiva, kasneje pa postane mat. Zagotovo je na koži mogoče občutiti vlažnost. Vodica je tudi zelo nežna. Sama imam kar pecej občutljivo kožo in vodica nikakor ni iritirala moje kože. Nobenih rdečih madežev ali srbečice. Seveda si jo po čiščenju vedno sperem. Všeč mi je tudi to, da ne vsebuje parabenov, mineralnih olj, silikonov ali alkohola. V Sloveniji stane nekje okrog 4 € in v embalaži je 200 ml izdelka.

Vodica se mi je zdela zelo dobra, saj dobro opravi to kar obljublja. Še posebej mi je všeč to, da je zelo nežna. Sam vonj me niti ne moti, niti mi ne ugaja. Nekako nisem najbolj navdušena nad vonji v izdelkih za nego kože. Vodico vsekakor priporočam, saj je efektivna in dokaj poceni. Še posebej sem navdušena nad tem, da je slovenski produkt :).

Review: Dr. Scheller Jojoba Oil & Schisandra Soothing Intensive Serum

Hey Beauties!

Yet another product from my Ecco Verde purchase. This one has to be my favorite of the whole purchase. I was afraid of using oils, because my skin is combination to oily and thought that oils would just make me produce more oils or clog my pores. But then the oils are like so popular now, so I kind of decided to buy this one, which is also good for sensitive skin, like mine.

The Intensive Serum is a highly concentrated special skincare product for the soothing of sensitive skin. It effectively diminishes redness, offers lasting protection against the development of new skin irritations and strengthens its protective barrier. 

Here is the ingredients list: 


I really liked this serum. It's basically like an oil serum. The texture is pretty oily and somewhat opaque white. I use three drops for my entire face and neck. Now the smell. I admit it bothered me in the beginning. To me it smells like a natural smell of oil. I don't know how jojoba or schisandra smell, but the smell is very natural, therefore might be disturbing for those who like your products to smell nice. I feel like putting on olive oil, because olive oil to me also smells, and not nice. I got used to the smell, because of the benefits that I saw on my skin. Once you put the oil on the face, you have to massage it in quickly, because it completely soaks in the skin in the matter of 3 minutes. I love that. It leaves behind a slightly sticky surface, but not greasy. I can start putting on makeup or moisturizer or go to sleep without worrying of oil staining my bedding. I use it in the morning and in the evening. 

My skin feels a lot more hydrated. But what I really like about it, my skin is a lot less irritated. It really does ditch the redness in my face. Skin is not irritated, or red. I even squeezed out my pimples and put this one after the cleansing and I swear it reduced the redness on the spot of that pimple. I can't say anything more than exceptional product for moisturizing without feeling greasy and the best product for sensitive or irritated skin, prone to redness. 

The product comes in a glass dark bottle with dropper, so it's easy to measure the right amount of product. It contains 30 ml of serum and costs 11.89 €, which I think it's a fair price for a serum. It also lasts a really long time, since you literally need only two to three drops. 


Now I saw that their should also be a soothing moisturizing care in this range - like a cream. I think I should try it. If anyone has tried it, please let me know. 

Did you try any of the Dr. Scheller products and how did you like them?
