AFRODITA Secret Garden Cream Shower Gel

Romantic Peony

I've never bought an Afrodita shower product before because I don't like any of their scents, but this one appealed to me. It's a nice creamy shower gel-cream that foams ok and doesn't feel too thin, however, it's not like Dove's shower gels and I notice I have dry skin after use like at most regular gels. It smells lovely, not classically floral, but already almost fruity, I swear I smell pear. I smelled all the scent from this Secret Garden Collection in the shop and liked three out of four, only rose really isn't my scent (I hate classic rose scents). The sweets line is a total miss for me though in terms of scents and I usually adore candy scents. I've already used almost an entire bottle and it's the most used shower gel in the bathroom.

SUBRINA Shower Gel

Cuba Libre 

I hear Subrina shower gels aren't that popular, at least among bloggers I know. I kinda get why, but if you're not fussy about shower gel (I like Balea's for example and there aren't many who truly love them), these are just fine. It's a basic, clear shower gel that more on the thin side and it's a bit light on the foam for my taste, but perfectly fine. It doesn't nourish the skin at all, so moisturiser is needed afterwards if you have problems with dryness. I picked this one because it smells exactly like Haribo Coca-Cola gummy sweets, so it's something for those with a sweet tooth, personally it's right up my alley. I smelled all of the showers gels from Subrina and really loved all of them apart from the oriental one, so for my taste they have a better selection of scents than Afrodita. They're basic, like Balea's or Dusch Das, but smell really nice and that's the most important thing to me when it comes to shower gels.

*SUBRINA Shower Gel

Tropical Escape 

This is actually the newest addition to the Subrina shower gel line and I'm not sure if it's even sold already in all the shops. I had write about this one separately even though it's in the same line as the previous one, but the formulas as quite different. This one is creamy, already more substantial that Cuba Libre and it foams ok. It smells similar to Escada's Taj Sunset fragrance, meaning it's not a classic very fresh tropical scent, instead it's a deeper mango scent that's very sweet, but I also smell some bananas and pineapple.

DVOREC TREBNIK Tropical Cocktail shower gel

Apparently I can't walk past a tropical shower gel, though actually if I were picking again, I'd pick the shea butter one. This has a fresh fruity tropical scent, they say it's mango and I think it's a mix of fruits. What I'm not impressed by is the formula. It's very thin and liquidy, so it doesn't foam all that well and looking at ingredients, they aren't that different from both Afrodita's and Subrina's version, so why such a difference, I don't know. I'd make it thicker, then I'd like it. Like all the previously mentioned shower gels I notice those dry little flakies on my skin after shower, so lotions are recommended after use.

AFRODITA 100% Spa Sugar Scrub

I heard many very positive reviews about this, so I was excited to try it, since there aren't many good drugstore scrubs around here. I've tried a lot of scrubs in my life and I like very harsh ones, so my favourites are L'Occitane's Honey and Soap & Glory scrubs (which are awesome!), I have to say this Afrodita's one kind of failed to impress me. You know what this is? It's a homemade sugar scrub. It feels exactly the same as the ones I make at home, it even smells about the same. It's sugar, lots of sunflower oil, shea butter and some vanilla fragrance. It's very, very greasy, something that unfortunately put me off. I make it a lot less oily for a reason, but I assume they had to use that much oil to prevent it from clumping (mine always clumps after a week). It's very harsh, that part I like a lot, but as I said its regular sugar, however, the oiliness it excessive and you end up greasy as a pig in the oven, it's basically necessary to use a regular soap after because shower gels just don't cut it. It smells vanillary not in a cookie way, but in a typical scented way. It's not bad, but I wish it was more like Soap & Glory's.

DVOREC TREBNIK Shea Butter Cream

Looove this! I did not expect to like this product as much as I do and that's why I only took the 50 ml travel size. It smells exactly like The Body Shops' Shea Butter body butter, a scent I adore. It's nothing special - clean, a bit nutty and creamy, but I love it. The texture is as the name says a cream, not a thick butter, so it's not as greasy and it doesn't take that long to sink in, but it's nourishing enough for moderately dry skin, though sometimes I feel I need more. I think I'll buy a full size one day, but mostly because of the scent.

SUBRINA RECEPT Anti-dandruff lotion

Whilst perusing the isles of Műller, I had the worst itch on my scalp, it hasn't been so bad in a while, so I was ready to buy anything that promises to work fast. I saw this had a discount and I just grabbed it. First use was a bit of a disaster because this is a liquid, like water and despite the great nozzle, this still runs everywhere if you're not careful, including in my eye (it has alcohol on the second place, so that was really fun), but it worked. The annoying itch was gone. The effect are very similar to Alpencin Forte that I've loved for years, but it's easier to find and a lot cheaper. Also it doesn't smells as intensively of schnapps, but it's not a pleasant scent either. I think I found my new scalp saviour. By the way, it doesn't help reducing the amount of dandruff, it just calms down the scalp.

*SUBRINA Clean & Fresh Dry Shampoo

I think this is the first Slovene dry shampoo and I've already seen it in Müller. I think it's rather good, but you know I don't have oily hair, so I can only say how well it refreshes the hair. It's white, I expected that, so if you have very dark hair like me, you will need to comb the hair well after use. It's got a lovely fresh, clean linens scent that's mixed with almost a perfumey floral scent and it's gentle, inoffensive and pleasant, so not like Balea's which made me basically choke. It leaves the hair very light, so there isn't much of the touchable residue despite the whiteness and unlike at for example Batiste, I don't feel like I need to wash my hair the next day, but it's just keeps the hair fresh and airy. It gives a bit of volume, though not as much as some other (mostly because it's lighter that those) and also not much texture. For blondes and other with light hair, it's really nice.

 AFRODITA Serum 10 in 1 Protection

When I was buying this, I missed the silicone on the third place, so I was under the impression, this is a mix of proper oils that I could use when my hair is really dry and as a pre-wash treatment. Well according to ingredients it's a regular silicone-oil, but with a smaller silicone content than most, since sunflower oil is on the second place. I've tried a lot of such products in my life and all work about the same, so I was convinced I'll never find a bad one. Well, I found one. Yes, this will be a classic Mateja's bitchy hair review, but the main problem of this oil is that it's trying to be something between a proper oil and a silicone oil, and it just doesn't work. It's got three layers with different densities and then you need to shake it well, so it mixes into one misty, yellow fluid. It's very, very light and the packaging is just wrong for such a formula, it should be a spray because now it just spritzes out with such force, plus it doesn't stay on the hand no matter how you try and you lose product. On the plus side, since it's so light, it mostly likely won't make any hair greasy. They say you should use it on damp hair, which I agree because on dry hair, it just sucks as it does absolutely nothing. On damp hair if I use a hair dryer after, my hair is a bit sleeker and more manageable, but other products do it better. They went in the same direction as a lot of companies, bragging about a million effects, which is plainly said very annoying, but among other it's also a heat protectant and that's one of the rare pluses I'd give to this product. It has this strange scent that like it's an oriental perfume, but mixed with a scent of rancid oil. 

I noticed a lot of Slovene bloggers got this oil at an event and there were no reviews after, so I should probably have taken this as a sign, but I was curious. Does anyone love this?

DVOREC TREBNIK Hand Soap Sweet Peach

I think it's clear why I got this - I honestly can't walk by anything with peach. But this is a massive disappointment because it's the most basic of basic soaps and one that's über retro feeling. Seriously, I get flashes of my grandmas bathroom back in 95. It doesn't smell anything like peach, just an old-ish clean herbal scent. I dislike that it's a square design because it's annoying to use and it's like any other cheap soap that  leaves that drying, squeaky clean feeling, though I don't mind that as much. If you like retro things, this might be for you.

AFRODITA Hand Cream Olive 2 in 1

I'm super fussy about hand creams and I rarely use them because I dislike most (I like Nuxe's, Weleda's and love those Balea's Pflegecremes). This is another one I dislike. I picked this one because it says it has an antibacterial effect, those they say the effect is mild and I don't recognise any of the ingredients as being antibacterial (I'm not that good at reading them). It's a light lotion, but it just takes way to long for me to absorb, a few minutes, and I'm a person who can't stay still for long. Once it's absorbed, I just feel that it's not enough, like it didn't really nourish my hands. The scent is ok, but not my favourite. It's a musty lemony scent. I'll give this one to someone else.

AFRODITA Secret Garden kremni gel za prhanje

Romantic Peony

Do zdaj sploh še nisem kupila Afroditinega tuš gela. Šla sem jih nekajkrat preverit, pa mi ni bil noben vonj pretirano všeč, vključno s tisto lansko cukrasto linijo (pa imam ponavadi zelo rada take vonje), ampak tale potonikin me je pa prepričal. Ima dobro kremno formulo in se v redu peni, je celo malo gostejši kot običajni geli, ampak ni tako dober kot od Dove in opažam, da imam po tuširanju suho kožo. Diši res lepo, ne kot prava potonika, ampak lepše, bolj sveže in celo malo sadno. Meni diši malo po hruški. Preverila sem vse štiri tuš gele iz te Secret Garden kolekcije in so mi bili všeč trije od štirih, edino vrtnica ni niti malo zame. V kopalnici se že valja skoraj prazna embalaža, tako da je kar priljubljen.

SUBRINA gel za prhanje

Cuba Libre 

Kolikor berem bloge in komentarje Subrina tuš geli niso ravno popularni, ampak če niste tako zahtevni kar se tiče tuš gelov (npr. meni so od Balee krasni, pa večini niso všeč), so čisto dobri. Tale ima bolj lahko, prozorno formulo in čisto spodobno peni, sem pa opazila, da niso vse formule enake. Res je, da nič ne neguje kožo, verjetno je ravno to problem tistim, ki jih ne marajo, ampak sama pač potem uporabim kremo, če jo rabim. Tega sem izbrala, ker diši enako kot Haribo Coca-Cola gumijasti bonboni, torej je nekaj za vse tiste, ki obožujemo sladkarije, ampak moram reči, da sem preverila vse vonje njihovih tuš gelov in so mi bili vsi všeč, razen Oriental. Je osnoven tuš gel, kot npr. Baleiini in Dusch Das, ampak imajo dober izbor vonjev, kar je meni pri katerem koli tuš gelu še najbolj pomembno.

*SUBRINA gel za tuširanje

Tropical Escape 

To je najnovejši vonj od Subrine in sploh ne vem, če je že v vseh trgovinah, moral bi že biti, ampak sem ga morala, dati narazen od Cuba Libre, ker se mi zdi precej drugačen od tistega. Je že bolj gost in se dobro peni, tako da je precej boljši, pravzaprav isti kot od Afrodite. Meni diši podobno kot Escada Taj Sunset, torej ne tipičen svež tropski vonj, ampak je bolj sladek mango, voham pa tudi še malo  banane in ananasa.

DVOREC TREBNIK Tropical Cocktail poživljajoči gel za tuširanje

Očitno ne morem mimo tropskih vonjev, čeprav če bi še enkrat izbirala bi se zdaj odločila za karitejevo maslo. Tropical Coctail ima nepresenetljivo svež, tropski vonj, DT pravi po mangu, meni se zdi bolj mešanica različnega sadja. Formula me ni navdušila, ker je enostavno preredek in se skoraj nič ne peni. Sestavinsko je čisto podoben Afroditinemu in Subrininem tako, ampak so teksture čisto drugačne. Če bi bil bolj gost, bi mi bil všeč in upam, da je tistih karitejevim maslom boljši. Tudi pri tem opazim suhe luskice po tuširanju, kot pri vseh ostalih.

AFRODITA 100% Spa sladkorni piling

O tem pilingu so na nekaterih blogih praktično slavospevi in sem si ga res želela preizkusit, ker pri nas ni veliko dobrih pilingov za telo. Preizkusila sem že kar nekaj pilingov, trenutno imam še štiri druge v kopalnici in ta mi je žal najmanj všeč. Sicer imam rada zelo grobe pilinge, kar ta to je (moji najljubši so L'Occitanov z medom in Soap & Glory, ki so fantastični), ampak je pretirano masten. Je navaden sladkorni piling, čisto podoben tem, ki jih naredim doma, vsebuje pa sladkor, sončnično olje, karitejevo maslo in vanilijev ekstrakt kot najpomembnejše sestavine. Je izjemno masten in ko ga odpreš je kar kakšen centimeter olja nad sladkorjem, zaradi katerega je potem embalaža čisto mastna. Ko sama delam piling dam precej manj olja, ampak razumem zakaj ga je pri tem več, ker se ti drugače sladkor skupčka in je skoraj neuporaben. Všeč mi je, da je grob, ampak na koži ostane tak gost oljni sloj, ki ga je zelo težko odstranit če ne vzameš navadnega mila, ampak če ga pustiš si pa čisto preveč masten. Diši po vaniliji, ampak ne kot piškoti, bolj kot tipičen vanilijast kozmetični vonj. Ni slab, ampak si želim, da bi bil bolj kot Soap & Glory-evi.

DVOREC TREBNIK bogata karitejeva krema

Ok, tale mi je pa res všeč. Nisem pričakovala veliko, zato sem vzela samo 50 ml lonček, ampak mi je že žal, da nisem vzela večjega. Diši enako kot The Body Shop-ov Shea Butter maslo, vonj ki ga obožujem, čeprav ni čisto nič posebnega - čist, malo oreškast in kremen, ampak meni je tako dober. Ko ime pove je krema, ne maslo, tako da ni zelo gosta in se kar hitro vpije. Je dovolj za zmerno suho kožo, čeprav se mi včasih zdi, da bi rabila malo več.

SUBRINA RECEPT losjon proti prhljaju

Ko sem bila v Müllerju sem imela grozno srbečico na lasišču, res tako slabo ni bilo že nekaj časa, tako da sem bila pripravljena vzeti karkoli kar obljublja, da deluje hitro (torej ne šampon, ampak losjon) in tale je bil ravno v akciji. Ko sem ga uporabila prvič mi je tipično nerodno zame ponesreči steklo še malo v oko, ker je stvar zelo tekoča in ker ima alkohol na drugem mestu, si lahko predstavljate kako veselo je bilo. Ampak stvar je delovala in srbečica se je umirila. Deluje nekako kot Alpencin Medicinal Forte, ki je moj rešitelj že leta, ampak tega je lažje najti in še cenejši je (če iščete Alpencin ga v Müllerju že dolgo nisem videla, je pa na Salmi). Ta tudi ne diši čisto po žganju, čeprav tudi ni najlepši vonj. Mislim, da sem našla nov spodoben izdelek za srbečico, ampak kar se tiče delovanja na prhljaj, pa žal ne naredi dosti.

*SUBRINA Clean & Fresh suh šampon

Mislim, da je to prvi slovenski suh šampon in sem ga že videla v Müllerju. Meni je čisto dober, ampak kot morda veste imam zelo suhe lase, ki niso nikoli mastni, tako da ne vem kako dobro vpije maščobo. Suhe šampone imam jaz pač samo za osvežitev, parfum ter volumen in ta naredi vse tri stvari čisto ok. Je pa bel, tako da če imaš temne lase kot jaz, ga je treba potem dobro izčesat. Diši res zelo prijetno, kot čisto perilo, ampak že dosti vleče na lep cvetličen parfum, vonj pa je nevsiljiv, za razliko od Baleinega, ki me je skoraj zadušil. Lase naredi zelo lahke in nima veliko praškastega občutka zaradi katerega si moraš takoj drugi dan oprati lase, pravzaprav po nanosu si še dolgo nisem rabila oprati las (še enkrat - imam suhe. Je čisto drugače kot če se ti lasje mastijo). Da tudi malo volumna, ampak ne toliko kot tisti z več tega praškastega občutka, ker je veliko lažji. Blondinkam in tistim s svetlimi lasmi bo všeč, temnolaske pa sem vas opozorila, da je bel, se ga pa da enostavno izčesat.

AFRODITA Serum 10 in 1 Protection

Ne vem kako sem zgrešila silikon na tretjem mestu med sestavinami, ampak sem bila sigurna, da je stvar samo mešanica navadnih olj in ga bom lahko uporabljala takrat ko bodo moje konice zelo suhe in kot intenzivni tretma pred pranjem. Ko sem doma dobro pogledala sestavine sem videla, da je klasičen silikon z oljem, čeprav je tukaj sončnično olje drugo na seznamu. Poskusila sem že kar nekaj takih izdelkov in vsi delujejo enako, tako da sem bila prepričana, da ne bom našla slabega - no, pa sem enega. Ja, to bo zdaj tista tipična moja super tečna ocena (ah, kot da ni splošno znano, da sem zelo zahtevna pri izdelkih za lase), ampak glavni problem tega izdelka je, da hoče biti nekaj vmes. Ni pravo olje, ni silikon in to enostavno ne deluje, čeprav sestavinsko izgleda zelo dober. Vizualno je zanimiv s temi sloji različne gostote, ki se potem zmešajo v motno, rumeno tekočino. Je zelo, zelo lahka formula in ta embalaža ni najboljša zanjo, ker ti špricne s preveliko hitrostjo, poleg tega ti pa olje kar zbeži z roke. Bolje bi bilo, če bi bil v spreju. Ker je tako lahko predvidevam, da bi bilo v redu morda tudi za lase, ki se hitro zmastijo oz. take ki jih večina stvari obteži. Priporočajo, da ga uporabiš na vlažnih laseh, kar se strinjam, ker na suhih ne naredi absolutno nič. Če ga nanesem na mokre lase pred sušenjem, naredi lase malo bolj gladke in ubogljive, ampak  drugi izdelki so bolj učinkoviti. Spet bom tečna, ampak moti me to pretiravanje z 10 učinki, ker večina stvari zveni kot seznam, ki ga je napisal Captain Obvious, ampak med naštetimi je tudi, da je toplotna zaščita, kar je eden izmed redkih plusov, ki jih dajem. Ima nek čuden vonj, ki je kot mešanica orientalskega parfuma in žaltavega olja.

Vem, da je veliko slovenskih blogerk dobilo to olje na nekem blogerskem dogodku, ampak potem nisem slišala nič o njen, kar bi si morala vzeti kot nek znak, ampak me je res mikalo ga preizkusit. A je komu všeč?

Mislim, da je dovolj očitno zakaj sem vzela to milo - resno ne morem mimo česarkoli z breskvijo. Ampak tole me je pa razočaralo, ker niti malo ne diši po breskvi, ampak ima nek starinski čist, zeliščen vonj. Je čisto običajno milo z zelo retro izgledom in obliko, ki je nerodna za uporabo dokler je ne porabiš nekaj in pusti tisti tipičen, suh občutek na koži.

AFRODITA Krema za roke Oliva 2 v 1

Kar se tiče krem za roke sem skoraj toliko zahtevna kot pri stvareh za lase in mi večina ni všeč (všeč so mi od Nuxe, Weleda in tisti mini kovinske od Balee). Tudi ta mi ni všeč. Vzela sem jo ker me je pritegnil ta antibakterijski učinek, čeprav piše, da je blag in med sestavinami ne prepoznam nič antibakterijskega (vseh sestavin pa tudi ne morem poznat na pamet). Je lahka, ampak meni traja predolgo, da se vpije, nekje okrog 3 minute, ampak jaz pač ne morem biti toliko časa na miru. Ko se vpije imam občutek kot, da ni dovolj in da ni dovolj intenzivno nahranila roke. Vonj je ok, ampak ni moj najljubši. Nekako diši kot malo hecna limona. Dala jo bom komu drugemu.
