Trend Edition che NON vedremo in Italia: Essence Ice Ice Baby [press release]

o meglio...

Here is Ice Ice Baby, a trend edition that won't be released in my country. Actually I found a display in Slovenia at the end of December, but it was almost empty ç_ç and I just bought the (last) hand balm.

I try to console myself thinking that the colored polishes were really pretty, but maybe too sheer for my liking.

Please don't tell me the opposite :D

Ecco la Ice Ice Baby, un'altra trend edition che (al momento) non verrà distribuita in Italia. Magari non tutto è perduto, la Metal Glam è arrivata qui con fortissimo ritardo rispetto al resto dell'Europa, però essendo la Ice Ice Baby marcatamente stagionale, dubito ce la presentino ad aprile-maggio.

Comunque, tanto per riderci su, a fine dicembre ero andata in Slovenia e appena messo piede in uno dei DM ho visto l'espositore di questa trend edition. Non ho avuto neanche il tempo di emettere un gridolino di gioia: il cartone era praticamente vuoto.

Erano rimasti uno smalto bianco (ciao!), un ombretto bianco (doppio ciao), una clip per cuffie (non avevo ben chiaro cosa fosse, magari mi sarebbe stata utile) e una crema mani.

Dalla disperazione (e anche perché i primi ingredienti non parevano male) ho preso la crema, ma se mi fossi trovata davanti gli altri tre smalti...Sarebbero di sicuro stati miei.

Mi consolo con il fatto che dagli swatch che ho visto i colori erano davvero poco coprenti...Magari mi sarei pentita dell'acquisto :-P

Considerazione finale: ma non era meglio saltare la Kalinka e avere questa????

My purchase/il mio acquisto:

ICE ICE BABY 24h hand protection balm

I'm using it a lot lately (hello Winter), it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave hands greasy or oily (anyway I won't rely on it for a 24hrs protection). 

It's not a 100% organic balm and it leaves a sort of "plastic smooth" feeling on my hands, but Essence is not Lavera after all, and I'm ok with it.

About the smell: I don't like it very much (kind of floral), but it's so light that it's not annoying, moreover it's just a matter of taste (I'm the one who loved the smell of Essence Strawberry polish remover :-P).

La sto usando spesso in questo periodo: si assorbe abbastanza in fretta, senza lasciare le mani unte o appiccicose (anche se dire che poi per 24 ore sono a posto è esagerato/assurdo); comunque ha un che di "plasticoso", ma per essere una crema industriale (senza pretese eco-bio) non è male!

Il profumo (floreale) non mi esalta particolarmente, per fortuna è leggero (e poi è questione di gusti, dice quella che ama l'odore di solvente alla fragola).
