Palmer's - Cocoa Butter Formula - Lip Balm



This is a stick lip balm that works so well.

It is great for bed time.
It is easy to wind up and apply, has a nice faint cocoa butter scent, and creates a moisturising barrier.
It is also SPF 15 to protect your lips from sum damage.

PU1 even has one and likes it (and she doesn't like a lot of things).

Price: 4/5 ($3.69 for 4g)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Palmer's - Cocoa Butter Formula - Original Solid Formula


When I was looking at this to buy, I thought "Oh cool! A solid form of the lotion I love! This will be great!"

But to make it solid, it contains mineral oil and microcrystalline wax, things I like to avoid.
(Kind of wish I was shopping in-store, could have read the label prior to purchase)

This is like hard Vaseline mixed with the Palmer's lotion. I can make that myself if I wanted it.

It smells like Palmer's lotion but can't be applied to the body easily. I ended up using it up as a night time foot treatment.

Price: 4/5 (RRP $9.49 for 100g)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Palmer's - Cocoa Butter Formula - Moisturizing Body Oil


I love oils and this was great to slather on after a shower! It soaks in well and smells so lovely!

The only issue is every damn bottle (of different sizes and lid types) leaks! This is so infuriating! 
I love this product but (yet again) will probably never buy it again because of its STUPID PACKAGING!

C'mon Palmers, you can fix this!

Price: 3.5/5 (RRP $10.79 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4/5 (lost point for the leaky bottle)

Palmer's - Cocoa Butter Formula


I love how this smells! Cocoa butter smells really good to me.

I also appreciate how rich the formula is, but it doesn't just sit on the top of your skin, it soaks in well.

I can't really fault this product.

Price: 4/5 (RRP $9.99 for 400mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Palmer's - Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion

This seemed like a solution to my "getting lotion on my back" problem... it was not.

Instead of a fine mist, it came out in a line, making it look like I had silly string on my back :(
Also, after I got some on my hands, I found the can slipping out of my hands and I couldn't spray any more D:

However, the formula and scent were great, as one expects from a Palmer's product.

"I want lotion rubbed into my back" Solution:


Get a darling room mate (If you land Ryan Gosling, even better).

Price: 3/5 (rrp $9.99 for 200g)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Yarra Valley Chocolaterie - Chocolate Therapy - Rich & Decadent Cocoa Body Butter
I picked this up in Yarra Valley and it smells divine! 
It smells like chocolate topping and is so moisturising!
It contains actual cocoa butter and soaks into the skin quickly, leaving the scent on your skin for a long time.
This body butter came with me to America and was great for taking care of my travel-weary skin.

The jar has a quote on it, mine says "You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive." - Diana Vreeland
I want you all to remember this!

Price: 4/5 (rrp $14.50 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
