L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime Tinted Lip Balm in Rose Nude

The whole Pivoine Sublime collection looks to die for (the press pictures are perfection), but I think these lip balms generated most interest. The thing is that they look similar to the famous Fresh lip balms, though in my opinion they are even prettier. There are four shades available: Transparent, Rose Nude, Plum and Rose Amber. These have SPF 25.

I got the shade Rose Nude, which looks red in the tube, while on the lips it's gentle rose shade. It's a very cute colour for those who don't like to wear a lot of colour or want a natural look and it would be the perfect shade for a "no makeup" makeup look. Pigmentation is decent and I needed a few coats for the intensity on my pictures, though the lip balm is still quite new. In terms of nourishment they remind me of Labello (Nivea) lip balms, however, these feel smoother and less "wet" on the lips. These won't heal very chapped lips, but for me they are moisturising enough.

It smells divine, just as the moisturiser. It's a sweet floral scent, which is genuinely lovely and every time I either open the jar of the moisturiser or apply this lip balm on the lips, I thoroughly enjoy the experience. I should probably go check out their Peony fragrance next time I'm in L'Occitane. 

The packaging looks so glamorous. It's a metal tube, which has special closing system to prevent it from opening itself in the bag. This is the packaging you'll love to display on your office/school desk.

These are expensive at 16.30 €, but you know how I say, it's your money and you can spend it the way you want, either for this fancy tube or a cheaper tinted lip balm. It think these are cool and very luxurious looking, even though they're just tinted moisturisers. 

I also got Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Cream which is housed in one of the most stunning packagings I've ever seen. I've been using it for the past few days and so far I love it. I'll do a review when enough time will have passed.

Poleg obarvanega balzama sem dobila še izboljševalno kremo za obraz Popolna potonika, ki jo uporabljam zadnjih nekaj dni. Za zdaj mi je izjemno všeč, ampak bom spisala objavo o njej ko se mi bo zdelo, da sem jo že dosti dobro stestirala.

*Obarvani balzam za ustnice Popolna potonika SPF 25, 4 g. Naravno rožnati odtenek

Prepustite L'Occitanu, da naredi vizualno izjemno lepo kolekcijo, ampak Popolna Potonika je pa zame res popolna. V njej je kar nekaj novosti, se mi pa zdi, da so balzami za ustnice pritegnili največ pozornosti. Izgledajo kot v tujini zelo popularni Fresh balzami, s tem da meni L'Occitanovi še lepši. Na voljo so štiri odtenki: prosojen, naravno rožnati odtenek, jantarni in temnorožnati odtenek. Balzami imajo zaščitni faktor 25.

Sama imam naravno rožnati odtenek (Nude Rose), ki v stiku izgleda rdeč, vendar ima na ustnicah še malo roza pridiha. Je tak prikupen odtenek, sploh za tiste, ki niso navajeni nositi živih barv, ker se da intenzivnost odtenka počasi nadgrajevati. Za tak odtenek kot ga imam na slikah je bilo potrebno nekaj slojev, je pa balzam še nov, tako da bo morda, ko bom porabila zgornji sloj, še bolj pigmentiran. Kar se tiče hranilnosti me spominja na Labelle, ampak je občutek na ustnicah bolj gladek in ni tako "moker" (težko je drugače razložiti). Ne bo ravno pozdravil razpokane ustnice, ampak za povprečnega uporabnika je dovolj vlažilen.

Diši prekrasno sladko cvetlično. Odkar imajo parfum Potonika ga nisem še nikoli preizkusila in mi je zdaj zelo žal, ker če diši tako kot ta balzam in krema iz te linije, je to najboljši cvetličen vonj kar sem ga preizkusila, pa sploh nisem neka ljubiteljica cvetličnih vonjev. Embalaža izgleda preprosto elegantno. Je iz kovine in ima dober sistem zapiranja, ki preprečuje, da bi se sama odprla v globinah ženskih torbic. 

Cena obarvanih balzamov bo 16,30 € kar ni poceni, ampak odločitev ali si to ceno zaslužijo je vaša. Meni so zelo lepi in kar luksuzni, pa čeprav so le obarvani balzami (ampak njihovi drugi balzami za ustnice v tubicah so pol cenejši, okrog 8 €).

Kolekcija Popolna Potonika bo na voljo od 23.4.2015.
