L'Occitane Shea Butter Fabulous Oil

L'Occitane Shea range must be one of their most well-known ranges (along with the Almond and Cherry Blossom ones). This amazing range of nourishing products has recently been added a new bit – a beauty oil, no less.The moment I saw it arrived in my nearest L'Occitane store, I literally ran into the store and tried this oil on my skin. Oh my word. I knew I'd get it and I included it on my official Beauty Wishlist. It was more than a week after its arrival when I purchased it. I surely made an impression. Now I'm using it for a while and I must say that it's one fine beauty oil. Just look at the packaging. Alright, it could have been a wee bit smaller glass cylindrical bottle and if it was a tad smaller, you'd be able to carry it around. In real life, this bottle is too big and heavy to be toted around. That sort of is a small flaw but I do know that some women don't like to carry too much in their bags to start with. Some women, I'm sure that there exists such a representative of the female species….I'm just not one of those women (unfortunately). The Shea Fabulous Oil by L'Occitane is a rich, silky oil that is suitable for use all over the body and even on your hair. It combines shea oil with 2 rare plant oils from Africa (baobab and
desert date palm) to help moisturize, protect and soften body and hair + it's also formulated with a blend of sunflower and carrot oils.

L'Occitane Karite linija mora da je jedna od najpopularnijih linija ovog brenda (uz Badem i Tresnjin Cvijet). Ovoj poznatoj liniji hranljivih proizvoda za njegu koze je pridruzen najnoviji proizvod – beauty ulje o kojem cete zasigurno cuti jos od mene. Istog trenutka kada sam krajickom oka uhvatila da je taj novitet izlozen na L'Occitane policama, utrcala sam u radnju i isprobala ga na kozi. Prva pomisao – ah, kako je krasno. Znala sam da cu ga nabaviti i ukljucila sam ga na svoju zvanicnu Beauty Wishlistu. Proslo je nesto malo vise od sedmice od tog prvog upoznavanja kada sam ga kupila. Definitivno je ostavilo dojam na mene, koristim ga vec neko vrijeme i nemam nista lose reci za njega. Pogledajte samo pakovanje. Da, mislim da je moglo biti mozda malo kompaktnijih dimenzija kako bi bilo pogodno za zensku torbu. U biti, ova staklena bocica cilindricnog oblika, je previse velika za ponijeti sa sobom. To bi bila jedna manja mana no znam da postoje zene koje uopste ne nose mnogo toga po svojim torbama…Sigurno postoji neki primjerak zenskog roda tako prakticne prirode, samo sto ja nisam jedna od tih zena (nazalost). Karite carobno ulje  je bogato, svlenkasto ulje koje je pogodno za koristenje kako na kozi tijela, tako i na kosi. Kombinuje karite ulje sa dva rijetka ulja iz Afrike (ulje baobab drveta i ulje pustinjske datule). Ona pomazu u hidrataciji, zastiti i omeksavanju koze i kose + u mjesavinu su ukljucena ulja mrkve i suncokreta.

This oil has a strong atomizer and it spritzes out  quite a quantity of oil. It's not a light spritz a la Avene thermal water – this is one strong atomizer, let me tell you. Oh, but the moment this fabulous oils flies through the air…mmm….it smells so divine, so out of this world. It is very fragranced so people who avoid heavily fragranced products should avoid this oil as well. Those who do enjoy a beautiful scent (such as myself) will greatly appreciate the ultra potent perfume trail it leaves behind. It's of a musky, powdery smell that makes me think of babies, baby powder, floral perfumes, ylang-ylang and clean skin of a woman. Truly beautiful scent that will exclude the need to wear a perfume. And the texture? It's superb. This is not the watery type of oil. It's quite thick but it somehow has a dry texture that leaves a satiny finish. It's exquisite and as a testimonial of its efficiency with treating dry skin issues – it greately helped me with my dry elbows. When used on hair you can tell by touching it that hair is intensely nourished but that dry-touch formula translates on hair as well. It doesn't drag it down but it isn't a light oil either. It leaves a very peculiar feeling on the hair. When I feel my hair is frizzy I apply one spritz into my palms and distribute it on my ends only. Recap – this was one excellent purchase and I would repurchase this oil – it's that good.

Bocica ima dosta jak rasprsivac koji istiskuje prilicnu kolicinu ulja (vidjeti cete na fotki koliko iznosi jedan spric). Nije vrsta rasprsivaca kakav ima Avene termalna voda – ovo je zvijer. Trenutak u kojem kapljice ovog ulja prolete kroz zrak automatski ga oboje svojim mirisnim notama. Dosta je jakog mirisa tako da sam sigurna da bi osobama koje izbjegavaju parfimirane proizvode ovo ulje bilo isuvise intenzivno. U slucaju da uzivate u lijepim mirisima i nemate nista protiv parfimiranih beauty proizvoda (u tu se grupu ubrajam ja), onda ce vam upotreba ovog ulja predstavljati istinski uzitak. Opisala bih miris kao mosusan, puderast miris koji mene podsjeca na miris beba, pudera za bebe, cvijetne parfeme, ylang-ylang i cistu kozu zene. To je prekrasan miris uz koji vam nece biti potreban parfem. A tekstura ulja? Vrhunska je. Ovo nije neko razrijedjeno ulje koje vise asocira na vodu nego na uljnu mjesavinu. Dosta je gusto te na neki neobican nacin ima suhu teksturu u dodiru sa kozom i ostavlja satenski sjaj. Posebno je a koliko je efektno za suhu kozu govori cinjenica da mi je pomoglo oko problema suhih laktova. Po pitanju ovog ulja u kosi, na dodir se primjeti da intenzivno nahrani i zagladi kosu no ona suha na dodir tekstura se i ovdje osjeti. Ulje ne otezava kosu no ne bih ga mogla nazvati laganim. Ostavlja specifican efekat na kosi. Kada god je naelektrisana, jedan spric rasporedim na dlanove, malo ga ugrijem u rukama i rasporedim samo po krajevima kose. Kao zakljucak cu reci kako je ovo bila odlicna kupovina koju bih ponovila.
