I didn’t plan buying any of the Essence Little Bakery winter edition 24h hand protection balms. I don’t like scented products and I’m usually not impressed with quality of their skin care products.
But when I spotted them in the store, I decided to check out the ingredients … just in case. I can’t say I was blown away with quality but this hand balms are actually pretty good. Coconut oil, she butter, moisturizers, vitamin E and C … Majority of hand creams available in Slovenia has way poorer ingredients. I bought Raspberry Chocolate Cookie and Vanilla Apple Pie balms.
I love smell of apple, cinnamon and vanilla, but Vanilla Apple Pie balm has an artificial smell that reminds me of those awful children toothpastes. On the other hand I hate the smell of chocolate but love the Raspberry Chocolate Cookie balm scent – fresh raspberry note prevails and I love using this hand cream.
Scents are not really that strong, so Essence gets plus from me for toning down the perfume in their hand balms.
Hand balms are very moisturizing and nourish hands very well while leaving only very slight film for protection in this cold weather. I had no irritation what so ever. I’ll have to buy backup for Raspberry Chocolate Cookie balm as it’s not likely I’ll find another good and cheap hand cream again in near future. And as I use really a lot of hand creams they can get pretty expensive.
Price: 1,29 EUR for 75ml (2.53 fl.oz.) of hand balm with expiration date 12 months after opening.

Želim ovu čokoladnu! Kreme za ruke obožavam, eto razloga za još jednu.
mislim da cu i ja kupit ovu cokoladnu kremu, imam njihov 2u1 balzam koji mi je super za ljeto, nadam se da ce mi ovo bit super za zimu :yes:
Tudi jaz razmišljam o čokoladni, ampak je še nikjer nisem našla
I bought the Raspberry Chocolate Cookie one and I also like it. The smell is nice and the cream works OK for ma dry skin. Good value for money if you ask me. :thumb:
I’m running out of the Essence yoghourt and calcium one and would love to get one of this. I’ll probably try the chocolate one. I actually seldom reach for my prescribed hand cream, which I end up using when my hands are in a really pitiful state but find myself reaching for the Essence one though, as it’s not very rich, buttery or sticky.
I too like the formula. It’s perfect for regular use. :thumb:
Ja do sad nigdje nisam vidjela ove kremice a želim ih isprobati :nervous:
Nego, nisam razumijela, kad dolazi Catrice Big City Life LE u Kozmo? :unsure:
Za HR ne bi znala. Najbolje bi bilo pitati vašeg distributera. :yes:
Jaz sem si kupila samo vanilijo in jabolčno pito … moram priznati,d a jim je zelo uspešno ratalo zakriti oba vonja. :wink: Res je tak umeten sladkoben vonj, ampak ne vem, ali sem se ga navadila ali pa me ne moti več, ker mi sicer krema za roke kar ustreza, jo uporabljam.
Sestavine so res fine, ampak vonj … sem se prav vrnila v otroštvo in spet vohala tiste nagravžne paste za zobe. :biggrin:
Čokoladno bi si takoj kupila, če bi jo kje našla – se mi zdi da so kar razgrabljene (ali pa jaz vedno prepozno pridem).
Sem dodala še kje vse bo na voljo Little Bakery TE. :yes:
Hvala :rose:
Mmmmm, Raspberry Chocolate Cookie sounds great! :sigh: I love their regular 12h repair balm but the scent is a little strong. Hope I won’t miss these winter balms again (as I do every winter).
You can still clearly smell perfume they used, but is not so overpowering anymore. :fju:
