Palmer's Cocoa Butter Body Gloss with Subtle Skin Illuminators Review
This is a product I've actually had before a few years ago. Except for going crazy tanning 24/7 when it is sunny here in London, I also feel a need to be super shimmer lol! I randomly remembered this body lotion and went on a hunt to purchase it- couldn't find it in Boots and I couldn't find it in Superdrug. Eventually I remembered I had seen it recently in my local hair shop and bought it from there for £3-£4 I think.
I actually don't use Cocoa Butter since it contains a lot of Mineral Oil and I find it kind of sticky and weird. If you want the effects of Cocoa Butter you can just buy pure Cocoa Butter and use on your skin (which I do). However- this formula is a lot better than the normal one. It does contain both Silicones, Parabens and Propylene Glycol but the two latter are very far down in the list. As you can see below in the pictures of the consistency- it is very thick.
My thoughts on this? It is a heavy lotion, closer to a body butter with loads of gorgeous shimmers. It really is like a highlighter/illuminator for your skin and I would use this on a really sunny day, just on my arms and legs.
Have you tried this product?
What do you think of Shimmer lotions, & what do you think of the normal Palmer's Cocoa Butter?

ReplyDeleteIm glad hun!! :) I tried to comment back on your blog or google plus but i couldnt see any posts on google plus and your blog said "only open to invited readers".. hope u see this anyway x
DeleteI've only tried this brand once, but I think the consistency is a bit too thick for me :( xx
ReplyDeleteOwwwwww Ahhhhhhh, nothing like a bit of shimmer in the summer sun, I you said that you couldnt find this is Superdrug or Boots, so I was wondering if other than your local hair shop did you know where I can get this is looks so nice for a holiday.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post and it looks really nice on you :) I'd probably use it on my legs if it was warm enough to actually get them out! xx
ReplyDeleteI used to love using this! It gives such a gorgeous shimmer.

love Palmer's, you're right about the ''heavy lotion'' part judging from the contents and pictures. But this looks like something i would use for my legs only.
