One of my favourite Lush products is Angels On Bare Skin Cleanser and you can read what I wrote about it here. That is a universal cleanser and it has saved my face so I'll probably post again about it, because it surely deserves all the attention I can give it. Now we have a different kind of angels in the spotlight, noticeably different than the previous ones. If Angels On Bare Skin were the good guys, Dark Angels are the bad ones (for the dirt and germs that is). I needed a good scrub to get rid of the oil excess and the old skin buildup that was causing me blackheads and small bumps. Lovely Lush girls have been very generous and gave me a sample of Dark Angels which I am using for quite some time now. You'd be surprised that with these bad boys, a little goes a loooong way.
Jedan od najdrazih Lush proizvoda mi je cistac Angels on bare skin i sve sto sam napisala o njemu mozete da procitate ovdje.To je univerzalno sredstvo za umivanje koje mi je oporavilo lice pa cu najvjerovatnije da ponovo pisem o njemu posto itekako zasluzuje svu paznju koju mogu da mu pruzim. Ipak, ovdje imamo jednu drugu vrstu andjela u fokusu, znatno drugaciju od prethodnih. Ako su Angelsi on bare skin bili dobri momci, Dark Angels su losi momci (losi za bakterije i prljavstinu). Trebao mi je jedan temeljit piling kako bih se rijesila nagomilanih celija i masnoce koji su prouzrokovali mitesere i malene neravnine. Divne Lush djevojke su jako velikodusno ponudile tester Dark Angelsa da isprobam i vec neko vrijeme njihovo tesiranje traje. Iznenadili biste se kako malo ovih losih momaka moze da traje jaaaako dugo vremena.
This is a product for people with oily skin. It is a pretty agressive scrub that takes off every last bit of dirt and oil. It has a pretty crumbly texture, you chip off a bit of it and place it in your palm. Add few water drops and mix together to a paste. But this is not a smooth type of paste, here you can feel beads in your hands. Then you rub it on your face. I was warned that it can be messy and to be careful not to get it on clothes (eg.my PJs) because it has a strong, dark pigment. If you aren't crazy sloppy you won't have that problem. Everything that ends in the sink while rinsing it off your face is easily washed with water, so don't worry. You do look insane when you look in the mirror while still having it on your face. It's all black and you look dirty. Maybe consider it for upcoming Halloween?
Ovo je namjenski proizvod za masnu kozu. Prilicno je agresivan piling koji skida sve i najmanju cesticu prljavstine i masnoce. Ima prhku teksturu pa lako mozete odlomiti mali dio i staviti u dlan. Dodajte par kapi vode i sve pomijesate u pastu. Medjutim ovo nije glatka pasta vec bas osjetite malene kuglice kako grebuckaju kozu. Zatim sve utrljate njezno na lice. Upozorena sam da nanosenje moze biti neuredno i da budem pazljiva da mi se ne prenese na odjecu (npr. na pizdamu) iz razloga sto ima jak, taman pigment. Ako niste bas ludi prljavko i smotanko, necete imati tih problema. Sve sto kapa po umivaoniku nemojte da vas zabrine jer se lako sapere vodom. Doduse izgledate blesavo cudno i prljavo kada se pogledate u ogledalo dok sa njim cistite lice. Jako je crn pa nije mozda lose razmotriti ga za kostimiranje za Noc vjestica koja nam se blizi?
Dark Angels have a strong smell. It's pretty undefined, a bit charcoal-y but you can detect sandalwood there. Pretty strong but it goes away after rinsing with water. It is extremely efficient and you can feel how squeaky clean your skin is afterwards. But the curious thing is, no matter how a serious scrub this is you have a smooth skin afterwards, I figure those are the vegetable glycerin and avocado oil. I wouldn't say you should use it if you have extremely sensitive, extra dry skin or Rosacea but for normal, combo and especially oily skin, this is a perfect scrub! I would recommend to use it 1x a week because you don't want to irritate your skin with over scrubbing your face and with Dark Angels there's no need to since it perfectly polishes your skin in one scrubbing session. This tiny pot will be enough for more than one month, I'm maybe halfway through it (using it once a week) and I couldn't be happier with the results. Pores are minimized, blackheads gone (some are left on the nose but smaller than before) and I haven't spotted a shiny forehead,chin or nose for exactly how long I'm using it.
Dark Angelsi imaju jak miris koji je prilicno tesko opisati. Mozda ugljenast ali se osjeti i sandalovina. Prilicno je intenzivan ali cim ga saperete nestane. Jako je efikasan cistac i bas mozete osjetiti koliko vam je koza poslije njega cista da skripi pod prstima. Interesantno je da koliko god ovi andjeli bili ozbiljan piling, ipak vam je koza izuzetno meka nakon njih. Pretpostavljam da je to zbog biljnog glicerina i ulja avokada. Mislim da trebate dobro preispitati da li d ga koristite ako imate ekstremno osjetljivu kozu, ekstremno suhu kozu ili Rozaceu ali normalnoj, mjesovitoj i narocito masnoj kozi itekako preporucujem! Mislim da je jednom sedmicno dovoljno jer ne zelite iziritirati kozu prekomjernim pilingovanjem a sa Dark Angelsima za pretjerivanjem uopste nema potrebe jer u samo jednom koristenju ce vam savrseno izgladiti povrsinu koze. Ova malena posudica ce mi koristiti vise od mjesec dana, mozda sam dosla do polovine (koristeci ih 1x sedmicno) i ne bih mogla biti zadovoljnija sa rezultatima. Pore su umanjene, mitesera skoro da nema i nisam ugledala sjajno celo, bradu niti nos bas toliko od kada ih koristim.
