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,

2015 Blog Aim

Okay. So. Let me just start off by saying, the last 12 months of my life haven't been so easy.

I've been flat out, I got a part time job and I've been busier than usual.

And to be quite honest, I really, really, miss blogging.

So I have made a deal with myself to make a blog post atleast once a week.

Along with that, I will be editing my blog theme a bit too as I don't quite like it much anymore seeing as I no longer have long hair.

I have so much to review, and in this coming week I am going to be reviewing a Chi Chi product.

It will be up by Tuesday, I just need to edit the video that I made to go along with it.

Thank you all for sticking around, and thank you all for the over 7k views. I never expected that.

Review: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

Hey everyone.

So, getting back into the swing of blogging again, I thought I'd start off with one of my must haves in my collection. There are many reviews of this product out there, but I have yet to voice my opinion on these.

I'm pretty sure if you watch YouTube, you would know all about these, but just incase you don't know, I will try to explain what they are.

They can be used for multiple things. Most people in the beauty community use it as an eyeshadow base all over their lids, and some use it on their waterline. And I found last year that it was good for creating this look:

Pro's About the Product:

• Creamy, rather easy to blend
• Soft on your lids, and glides on.
• Pigmented, only one swipe and its on.
• Excellent for a pop of colour on the waterline
• Can be buildable*
• Variety of Shades

Cons about the Product:

• Requires a big sharpener - I just use a cheap Essence one.
• Can stain lids (Happened to me - whoops)
• Can smudge easily, I suggest doing eyes before you do your face.
• Pricey in Target in Aus and NZ. Cheaper on Ebay.

Shades I Have:

Milk

Milk is one of the most well known shades from the line. Its a white eyeliner and it really does stay put. I personally only use this if I need my eyeshadow to be more vibrant as the white makes the colour on my lid really pop. You don't need to apply much either as it blends pretty far.

Pots and Pans

Excuse the horrid packaging Pots and Pans I haven't used that much yet, but when I do use it, I use it as a base for a silver eyeshadow for a smokey look, as it makes they eyeshadow last longer. It is metallic and obviously a silver.

Peacock

I rarely use this pencil, but I got it mainly because of the colour. Its a shimmery blue. Well, more metallic than shimmery. When I do use this I use it on my waterline for a pop of colour, but, I have found that when doing this, it smudges during the day and makes me look like I had a terrible night sleep.

Overall:

I think the product is great. It is something I like to have in my collection all the time.

Have you got one of the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils?

OMG HAI!! + Amazing Service!!

HAI!

Did you all miss me?

Probably not because I'm such a new blog but oh well

So since I've been gone, I celebrated my 20th birthday and started my job at Vinnies, and got into a car accident on the way to work.

Freaking hate slip lanes and 4x4's.

I'm fine, had a sore neck, but apart from that I'm A-O-KAY!

Tonight I'm preparing posts for the upcoming weeks and such.

But, I wanted to state in this post.

I placed and order through Chi Chi Cosmetics a few weeks ago, and my order should've been here last week but was still in Transit.

So as you would do, I contacted them via email.

And, I have to say, amazing customer service. I have never been happier.

They tried to resolve the problem, but couldn't. So sent me another palette (I bought the Elegant Palette) in express post with a credit voucher to reimburse the cost.

Which I was...flattered.

With other companies they have been all "Oh thats not in our control. Here have a $5 voucher"

And I've been like "Bro. I spent over $25 on you and you just give me $5 to spend on your shop. If your service and postage is crap I'm not coming back"

But Chi Chi, they are different.

I just got a knock at the door from the postie and what was in his hands?

Both parcels.

THANKS AUSTRALIA POST FOR KEEPING ME UPDATED -.-

So I sent an email back to Chi Chi being honest about what happened and am waiting to hear back on what to do. Giveaway? Present for a friend? Send back to them? Dunno.

But I discovered Chi Chi through the glamourous Shannon Harris (She a baaaae)(omg I'm hyper) Who is also known as Shaaanxo on YouTube.

I wasn't a familar fan with Chi Chi, I had some makeup by them, but was just 'eh' about them. Shannon changed my views on them and now I want everything.

Anyway, I've gotta go guys, I'll keep you updated more on whats happening, and yeah. I am going to be revamping my blog soon and probably changing the theme and everything.

So please note: I am no longer affiliated with LHI due to them not contacting me or sending me boxes to review

Peace!

Keep on Smiling,
