Empties #2

Time for another 'shit I'm throwing out' post. Just incase any of you were curious as to what I am throwing in my bin this week.

 First item thats going in the bin is my old eyelash curler that I just bought at Daiso. Nothing too special about it. I have naturally curled lashes so I don't often use my curler too regularly and this was just getting old and I need a replacement.

 

All of these lipsticks either make my teeth more yellow than they are, or have no colour pay off and thats the reason why I am throwing them out.

 

I've had this for about a year and its just gone rock hard. As you can see in the picture you can see where I've forced my nail into it. Into the bin eyeliner.

 

I got this about 2 months ago to do one job, sharpen the pencils. It broke one cause its just not a very smooth operating sharpener.

 

Finally onto products I've actually used. I used this Moisturizing Day Cream by Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula and one it smelt delightful and two it left my skin feeling so good.

 

I had a love hate relationship with this mascara as you can read from my review here. The top lash mascara was difficult to use, and the lower lash mascara was easier to use. It has started to go clumpy so I'm throwing it out.

 

I am in love with this mascara. Its hands down one of my favourites by Essence just behind the (Big Lash Effect?) You can read my review on it here.

 

This product came in my first ever bellabox and to be honest...I tried using it but I'm just not feeling it. It tastes like crap and the colour just isn't pink enough. Its too red.

 

These are my Holy Grail wipes. I buy them all the time and will most likely buy them again. (Unless WotNot is cheaper....)

 

I was sorting through my drawers one day and found this, I had honestly forgot I had it. These wipes are fantastic, and - actually I did a review on them, here ya go

So there! Thats all the junk I'm throwing in the bin.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Moisturizing Day Cream Review

As you guys know, I recently recieved this in my current Bellabox and let me just say I love this alot.

The scent first off, has the signature Cocoa Butter Formula scent. Mixture of Chocolate/Cocoa and sweet, sweet goodness. Its almost too good for your skin!

Now the moisture part of it. I always find I somehow put on too much. You really do not need much, and it leaves your skin feeling so good.

All in all I find this a really good moisturizer and I would buy the full size of this.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Enzyme Mask Review

Last week I went shopping and the number one thing I wanted to buy was a face mask because I just needed to cleanse my face. So I picked up the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Purifying Enzyme Mask and I must say this was delightful.

The mask claims to purify, exfoliate and smooth skin and I must say it does do all of that. I had a few zits coming on my face the day I used it, and the next day they were just about gone.

It uses a natural Kaolin Clay to cool the face during application and Papaya Enzymes to smooth the skin after application and my face felt like a babies bottom after.

The consistincy of the product was also very thick but in a good way, not much was needed to cover my whole face, and my face is pretty round and chubby. Its also white and it does resemble clay.

Another good thing I found about this mask was that within the 10 minutes of having it on my face, it did not harden. Which I found good and made it easier to remove.

So just like all other Palmer's products, this was just great. And I would go back out and buy it in a jiffy.

A Review (Finally!): Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula; Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes

Hey all!

About time for a review hey?

Well last year I got sent a box from PR filled with goodies from Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula, and I will be giving some of that away in a 50 follower gift pack....when I get there and if they are in good condition still....I'm only halfway there!

But I fell upon some wipes they sent me when I was cleaning out my makeup drawers and decided "Hey! Lets do a review on these!" Cause I personally have never seen these in Priceline or other stores. (Mainly Priceline, I live in the damn store.) So lets get on with it!

The Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes, Which I'm going to call wipes from here on out (I'm just lazy) have a texture to them, meaning they aren't just flat. they have little bumps on them. I didnt get a picture of them because i didn't want to waste a wipe, but they do have bumps on them.

The wipes are insanely moisturising. Which is a good thing as when I remove my makeup, my face feels dull and dry and I need to, well, moisturise my face.

It also claims to remove waterproof mascara, and I have tested this and I can say its certainly true but you need to scrub a bit at first for it to start the removal process.

The packet contains 25 wipes and retails for $7.94 (iHerb.com) Which I personally think it needs to contain more, as I would use up to 3 wipes to fully remove my makeup.

It claims to have a 'Fresh White Lilly' Fragrance, But I cannot smell any scent at all.

It contains cocoa butter (duh) and Chamomile.

Its made for sensitive skin - I have oily/combination and it works fine for me.

Its alcohol and paraben free.

It contains Vitamin E - Sorry for those who are Allergic!

And like all Palmer's products - it isn't tested on animals (Wow I spelled Animals as Amils. Well done Brontie you need sleep.)

Overall, would I repurchase? If on special, maybe. I can be fussy with my wipes.

I hope you all enjoyed this review!! Working on more as we speak!

Keep Smiling,

Review: Palmer's Cocoa Butter; Massage Lotion for Stretchmarks.

Hey Beauties,

So. Ever since I began turning into a teen, I got stretchmarks.

It never really phased me until this year when I was on a med that I had a major reaction to, and I got stretchmarks almost everywhere. Including my breasts, from my shoulders, to elbow on each arm, my waist all over my butt, down my thighs, all the way past my knee. I hate it that much that I have pretty much changed my entire wardrobe to covered clothes.

Due to this I lost a whole lot of confidence. I began to use some Bio Oil. And I finished an entire bottle of that, and noticed 0 results. I was very annoyed by this seeing as Bio Oil is a very raved about product and I was expecting to see some results. Mum then gave me some of this Stretchmark lotion by Palmer's Cocoa Butter. And my God. I haven't looked back.

Not only does this product smell fan-fucking-tastic, I have noticed a difference. My marks are slowly, beginning to fade. And I'm beginning to get some confidence back. It probably too around 3 months to start noticing major results, but since using the first bottle I have bought another one. Then not long after buying that bottle, I was contacted by Palmer's to try a bunch of their products, so I have a ton of things to review for you all.

If you want to see a photo of my stretchmarks, check out my instagram where I have posted an image of them. (I have been inactive there due to personal reasons)

I would 100% reccomend this to anyone.

I wasn't paid to review this, though, I have been sent products by the company to try for free. Product shown in image above was bought with my own money.

Keep Smiling,
