Review: Yves Rocher Les Plaisirs Nature Strawberry Shower Gel

Yves Rocher Les Plaisirs Nature collection features many different scented ranges, shower gels, body lotions, lip balms and even spray scents. The only range that truly appealed to me was Strawberry. Even though it isn't an obvious choice for me, there is something perfectly naive and childlike in the sweet strawberry scent captured inside this bottle. And the 400ml bottle is so economical, it lasts for ages. I find this shower gel to be perfect during summer not only due to its summer-y scent but due to frequent showers we all take during the heat, it is convenient not to run out of shower gel every other week. The only thing this packaging lacks is a pump of some sort. The twist-off cap with the Yves Rocher logo looks retro and chic but it is a bit tricky to pour out just the right amount of shower gel. Spillage was inevitable. During time, I have mastered how much I need per use and on which side to tilt the bottle without painting my shower cabin's floor red. It can be frustrating at times but the scent was enough of motivation for me.

Yves Rocher Les Plaisirs Nature kolekcija se sastoji od vise razlicitih mirisnih linija od kojih cete u svakoj pronaci tusiralice, losione za tijelo, balzame za usne pa cak i njezne mirise. Jedina mirisna linija koja me istinski privukla je bila Jagoda. Pored toga sto ovo i nije tipican miris koji bih odabrala, postoji nesto potpuno naivno sto podsjeca na dane djetinjstva u mirisu slatke jagode koji je zatocen u ovoj boci. I zaista, boca od 400ml je itekako ekonomicna jer meni jako dugo traje. Ova tusiralica je savrsen ljetni odabir i to ne samo zbog ljetnog jagodicastog mirisa vec zbog toga sto znate da se svi i vise puta dnevno istusiramo tokom vrucina. Olaksavajuce mi je bilo sto nisam morala svake druge ili trece sedmice da otrcim po novu bocu gela za tusiranje. Jedino za sto bih rekla da je mana ovom pakovanju jeste nedostatak pumpice. Poklopac na odvrtanje, ukrasen Yves Rocher logom, djeluje retro i sik no prilicno je nezgodno dozirati kolicinu gela po nanosenju.Prelijevanje iz dlana posvuda po tus kabini je bilo neizbjezno no vremenom sam savladala kako dozirati optimalnu kolicinu gela i na koju stranu nagnuti bocu bez da podnozje tus kabine obojim u crveno. Bilo je momenata kada me sve to frustriralno no miris je bio dovoljna motivacija.

The scent really is mouthwatering. If you're a strawberry fan you will LOVE this. I find that I don't go for strawberry scented products but this one appealed to me very much. I even contemplated purchasing the Strawberry EDT in July but backed off because I have accumulated quite a little fragrance collection and I didn't need to pile it up any further. To me, this shower gel smells of strawberry jelly gums but nothing to sweet or sickly. The texture is quite gelish, it foams up very nicely and this shower gel leaves skin scented in a supple way (for approx 2h). The type of lather (nothing too over the top), the gentle feel on the skin and the gentle way of perfuming the skin reminded me of a L'Occitane offering. Specifically, everything apart from the scent, was identical to the L'Occitane Cherry Blossom shower gel. I generally feel like these Les Plaisirs Nature are perfect dupes of L'Occitane shower gels. The best thing is that Yves Rocher shower gels cost less so you could end up saving some pennies at the end of the day.

Ovaj carobni miris je uistinu – poseban. Ako ste i prije ove tusiralice bili ljubitelj(ica) mirisa jagoda, onda cete ovu tusiralicu jako zavoljeti. Primijetila sam da ovo nije tipicni miris koji bih odabrala, ne preovladava (uopste se ne nalazi) u mnostvu proizvoda koje posjedujem no zbog nekih neobjasnivih razloga (vjerovatno nostalgija), ovaj odredjeni miris me ocarao. Cak sam razmisljala da nabavim i miris iz iste linije tamo negdje u mjesecu julu ali svjesna toga da kuci imam vec lijepu kolekciju mirisa i mirisnih vodica – odustala sam od ideje. Mene podsjeca na gumenaste bombone sa aromom jagode koje sam voljela dok sam bila mala i srecom, uopste nivo slatkoce ne prelazi prag tolerancije. Konzistencija je definitivno gelasta, lijepo se pjeni i ostavlja kozu delikatno namirisanom par sati. Vrsta pjene (uopste nije neka gusta pjena u pitanju), njezan osjecaj spram koze i blagi miris koji se zadrzava na kozi su me podsjetili na L'Occitane tusiralice. Konkretno, sve me osim mirisa podsjetilo na tusiralicu iz linije Tresnjin Cvijet. Bas sam pod dojmom da su tusiralice iz linije Les Plaisirs Nature nesto sto bi se moglo smatrati dupe verzijama L'Occitane ponude gelova za tusiranje. Ono sto bi najbolje iz ove price bilo jeste cinjenica da su YR tusiralice jeftinije pa bi vam ova informacija na kraju dana mogla ustedjeti koji novcic.

The gentle and feathery lather I love probably isn't as heavy-duty to tackle shaving under the shower. Jardins du Monde shower gels are more suited for that too and are true multitaskers. I find this strawberry shower gel a light and gentle option which is perfect during summer when our skin can get sore from the sunlight easily. This will not irritate the skin yet it will clean and freshen it up it thoroughly. No feeling of tightening was present nor was there an extra need to moisturize the skin than usually. You can use it up within 6 months after opening (due to natural ingredients) but I find that more than enough, even if you're alternating several shower gels. Wonderful product which I could easily recommend to anyone (except individuals sensitive to SLS). Have you tried something from the Les Plaisirs Nature range?

Blaga i paperjasta pjena koju ovaj gel proizvodi vjerovatno i nije najpogodnija za brijanje pod tusom. Jardins du Monde linija mi ima pogodniju i dosta guscu pjenu zbog koje su te tusiralice pravi visenamjenski proizvodi. Jagodica tusiralica je blag i lagan izbor koji ce najbolje pasati tokom ljeta kada nam koza moze postati osjetljiva usljed izrazenog suncevog zracenja. Ovaj gel nece iritirati kozu no istovremeno ce je detaljno ocistiti i osvjeziti. Nisam nikada osjecala zatezanje koze nakon upotrebe i nije mi bilo potrebno neko intenzivnije mlijeko za tijelo nego obicno. Mozete ga iskoristiti unutar 6 mjeseci od otvaranja (zbog prirodnih sastojaka) no to smatram i vise nego dovoljnim, pa cak i ako istovremeno koristite vise razlicitih tusiralica. Krasan proizvod koji bih uvijek preporucila vecini ljudi (osim osobama osjetljivim na SLS). Da li ste vi mozda isprobale neki proizvod iz Les Plaisirs Nature linije?
