Bottega di Lungavita Winter Haul
Winters are almost here which
means it was time to buy me some winter essentials. So I headed out to buy me
some goodies from the Bottega DiLungavita store which I had been eyeing for a while. I had already fallen
in love with this brand after trying out a few samples of their face and body
products while on my weekend stroll at the mall. READ ABOUT MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH BOTTEGA DI LUNGAVITA PRODUCTS HERE.
This was the perfect time to own some full sized products that I would be
making full use of in the coming winter months.
This is what I got…

Firstly, I got two creams to
beat the dry flaky skin problem in the winter months. Anti-wrinkle Face Cream from the Vita-Age In line and the Primavera Romana Body Cream from Armonie D`
Italia line. Matching with the body cream was the Armonie D` Italia Primavera Romana Perfume
which had the same fragrance as the body cream. The last but not the least thing
I got was the so talked about Acqua
Micellare Cleansing Solution and Eye,
Lip, Face Makeup Remover from the Vita-Age Aurum line. All the four
products I bought felt so luxurious to use because of their texture and smell.
Both the face and body creams are thick and velvety soft and they get absorbed
into the skin like a dream.
The
Anti-wrinkle Face Cream from the Vita-Age In line is an off-white
colored thick cream which looks and
feels amazing. It is housed in a stout tapered heavy glass jar (feels like 200
pounds, seriously!) and although looks pretty but has an extremely smooth
exterior and very prone to being dropped. So you gotta be very cautious with
handling it. I use the cream everyday, morning and night. The first time I
applied it on my face I particularly felt that this cream had an immediate
firming, plumping and softening effect and this is one those products which I
was so impressed with in a few days that I even got a back up of it so I don’t
have to run to the store to buy it or wait for my online order to arrive. I
don’t think I can feel comfortable the day I am not wearing it. The fragrance is a soothing mild floral one
like most Bottega products.

The Primavera Romana Body Cream from Armonie D` Italia line is a thick
white lotion which is housed in a tapering
tall white plastic bottle which is very prone to toppling but otherwise has a
unique design. The lotion can be pumped out from the bottle nozzle in one
smooth swift attempt. The nozzle has a pretty shape which makes the bottle look
attractive. It is very easy to control the amount of product with this nozzle
design. Depending upon how much you press it, you can either extract a pinhead
sized, peahead sized or coin sized amount of the product. I already mentioned that the product seeps
into the skin like a dream and leaves a velvetty smooth texture on the skin.
But I also noticed a very very slight amount of oiliness persisting on the skin
surface which I think is good in winters but if you are still bothered then you
could easily dab a tissue over it to absorb the persisting oil. The fragrance
is a very strong powdery floral one with a prominent Italian-European feel and
almost smells like an intense Eau De Parfum
so if you prefer light fragrances
then this lotion may not be your cup of tea. Although the fragrance is heavenly, it is
very strong and quite overpowering with the floral component dominating.

Matching with the body lotion I
also bought the Armonie D` Italia Primavera Romana Perfume which smells exactly like the
body cream but all the more intense. It is very strong powdery floral fragrance
housed in a transparent glass atomizer bottle which doesn’t have a lid as such.
The nozzle has a plastic stopper to prevent it from being accidently pressed. The
lasting power is just as intense…more than 24 hours I would say. I could even
smell a hint of the fragrance from washed and ironed clothes.

Next I got the Acqua Micellare Cleansing Solution and
Eye, Lip, Face Makeup Remover from the Vita-Age Aurum line which I had read and
heard about a lot. I was out of makeup remover and needed one so it was the
best time to indulge in it. I tested it out on a waterproof eyeliner swatched
on my hand at the store and it worked beautifully. The bottle is of white
platic which looks big and sturdy. The lid when twisted open spins like a spintop
on the bottle neck which I find very amusing J. Its quite
easy to open and close. The top is flat with a small round opening from where
the product can be poured onto a cottonpad when the bottle is tilted. The
consistency of the product is just like water but when touched with the hand
has a very light slippery feel but definitely not oily. The absorption power is
intense. The smell is light floral and can be identified with that of most luxury
makeup removers in the market. The product works really well in removing all
sorts of makeup from the face and it didn’t even burn my eyes or leave an oily
feel. Infact the instructions at the back of the bottle say that you do not
need to rinse it off which would have been perfectly fine if the product didn’t
have a really bitter after taste. I obviously came to know of this when I
removed my lipstick at night and thought it was OK not to go and wash off my
skin since the area was thoroughly cleaned. But, as soon as I licked my lips
after having some ice cream in the night I got to experience the most unpleasant
bitter aftertaste. Ohhhhh it was horribly bitter so I suggest you better wash
it off if you are using it on your lips to remove lip products.

So this was my Bottega Di

products but the only hitch is their high
price. I bought and will definitely be stocking up on the Face Cream and the
