Alustan kohe nobedalt testeripostituste sarjaga, sest mul on nii palju testereid, ja blogist on hea pärast lugeda, mis meeldis/ei meeldinud, ja miks. Ja ehk on teistelegi abiks.
Paar asja mida silmas pidada testerite puhul. Laias laastus on neid kahte sorti - sachet-tüüpi, kus on reeglina 1-3 kasutuskorra jagu toodet, ning delux size, millest siis olenevalt suurusest võib jaguda paljudeks kordadeks. Sachet-tüüpi testrite proovimine on selles suhtes mõttetu, et nt seerumi või näokreemi puhul sa ilmselt ühe korraga aimu ei saa, kuidas sulle see toode mõjub. Minu jaoks on nende eesmärk selgitada välja, kas toode tekitab mulle ärritust/allergiat, kas ta lõhnab meeldivalt, kas ta on meeldiva konsistentsiga. Selle tõttu kui ma kirjutan, et mulle see kreem ei meeldinud, siis see tähendab, et mulle ei meeldinud/sobinud esmamulje sellest kreemist, ja ei tähenda kindasti seda, et ma ei julgustaks teisi seda ise proovima.
Lavera Repair Care Shampoo, Odylique Repair Lotion, Dr Hauschka Acute Care Potentilla, Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler CC Cream, Erbaviva Hand Cream, Inlight Superfood Mask |
* Lavera Repair Care Shampoo, täissuurus 200 ml, hind Loodusperes €6.29 - jätkus mulle üheks korraks (poolpikad juuksed). Mittemidagiütlev. Lõhn oli okei, vahutas normaalselt. Ei jätnud juukseid ei eriliselt õhuliseks ega eriliselt raskeks.
Kas ostaks? Ei.
* Odylique Repair Lotion, täissuurus 200 ml, hind LoveLulas €23.59 - kasutasin ühel kindlal ärritunud kohal umbes 6-7 korda. Ei märganud kahjuks mingit erilist efekti (paljud inimesed kirjutavad Internetis, et mõjus juba esimese korraga - kindlasti mitte mul). Väga kahju, sest mulle meeldib Odylique kui bränd, selle taust (perefirma, tooted tehakse käsitsi farmis), nende koostisosad väga. Siiski soovitaks proovida inimestel, kes kimpus ekseemiga, sest väga paljud kiidavad.
Kas ostaks? Hetkel pigem ei.
* Dr. Hauschka Acute Care Potentilla, täissuurus 20 ml, hind Lovertes €15.50 - Med-sari paistab olevat üsna uus Hauschka tootevalikus, ja tore, et Loverte ka nüüd Hauschkat müüb. Ostsin huvi pärast pisikese testri ja kasutasin mitmeid kordi (üle 10 kindlasti) sõrmel, kus mul on pikemat aega nahaärritus. Tundub, et aitas küll, sest ärritus kadus peaaegu täielikult.
Kas ostaks? Jah, kui põhjust on (nahaprobleemid).
* Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler CC Cream (toonis Hell/Light) - see tester tuli mingi ajakirjaga ja huvi pärast proovisin, kuigi Eucerin ei ole ei roheline ega vägivallavaba bränd. Okei katvusega CC kreemi kohta, aga kohutavalt tehislik lõhn (ma ei ole enam üldse harjunud nendega) ning koostisosade nimekiri paneb pea huugama.
Kas ostaks? Kindlasti mitte.
* Erbaviva Hand Cream, täissuurus 75 ml, hind Erbaviva e-poes $17 - väga mõnus magusapoolse apelsinilõhnaga kätekreem, niisutab hästi, aga ei ruttaks tellima, kuna tegemist USA firmaga ning väiksema hinna eest saab ka teisi häid kätekreeme.
Kas ostaks? Ei.
* Inlight SuperFood Mask, täissuurus 50 ml, hind Naturisimos £45 - paljukiidetud kallis mask, mis sisaldab huvitavaid koostisosi nagu spiruliina, roosiseemneõli ja porgandi juure ekstrakt (äkktõlge :D). Välimuselt roheline, teraline (seega ka koorivad omadused) ja loodusliku lõhnaga. Minu nahka pigem ärritas kui niisutas ja mul on hea meel, sest ma tõesti ei vaja veel ühte €50+ näomaski oma wishlisti :p
Kas ostaks? Ei.

I
will start with my sample series right away because I have sooo many samples,
and it will be good to keep track of what I have liked and why/why not. And
maybe others will also find it helpful.
A
few things to keep in mind in case of testers. Generally they can be divided
into two types – sachet-type, which contains 1-3 uses of a product, and the
delux size, which depending on the size an last for a long time. Trying out
sachet-type testers is pointless in the way that you probably will not be able
to say after just one use whether that serum or face cream is a match for you.
I use sachet testers to figure out whether the product causes me irritation,
whether it smells pleasantly, whether it has nice texture. So when I write that
I did not like that cream, it means I didn’t like the first impression of it,
and it does not mean I discourage others to not try it.
* Lavera Repair Care Shampoo – there was
enough product in the sachet for one use (shoulder length hair). My impression
was meh. The scent was okay, it foamed normally. Did not leave hair
particularly light nor heavy.
Would I buy? No.
* Odylique Repair Lotion – I used it
on one specific irritated spot for about 6-7 times. Unfortunately, I did not
notice any particular effect (people write online that it worked on them with
only one use – definitely not the case with me). I am really sad because I like
Odylique as a brand, I like its background (family company, the products are
hand made in a farm), I really like their ingredients. Still, I would recommend
people who have eczema to give this a go because many people praise this
product.
Would I buy? At this moment, rather no.
* Dr. Hauschka Acute Care Potentilla – the
Med-line seems to be quite new in Hauschka’s offering of products. I bought a
small tester (3 ml) out of curiousity and tried it on a finger that I had been
having an irritation for longer time already. It seems to have helped because
irritation disappeared almost completely.
Would I buy? Yes, if I was suffering from skin
problems.
* Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler
CC Cream (shade Hell/Light) – this tester came with a magazine and I
tried it out of interest, although Eucerin is neigher cruelty-free, nor a green
brand. The coverage was okay for a CC Cream, but it has this awful synthetic
scent (I am not used to these anymore) and the ingredient list gave me a
headache.
Would I buy? Hell no.
* Erbaviva Hand Cream – very nice
hand cream that smells of a sweetish orange, and moisturized my hands well.
However, I would not rush to order because it is an US company and I can buy
other good hand creams for lower price (this one is $17 on Erbaviva web site).
Would I buy? No.
* Inlight SuperFood Mask – a
well-received expensive face mask that contains some interesting ingredients
like spirulina, rose seed oil and carrot root extract. The appearance of the
mask is green, grainy (so it also has exfoliating qualities) and smells of
nature. It rather aggravated than soothed my skin and I am kind of happy,
because I really don’t need another €50+ face mask in my wishlist (this costs
£45 in Naturisimo) :p
Would I buy? No.
