I am back with my second Palmer’s review! Last year, I talked about their new richly moisturizing cocoa butter line. You can read the review here if you missed it!
Today, I’ll be talking about Palmer’s cocoa butter skin therapy line AND giving away the products to THREE lucky readers! Keep reading for the giveaway details!
Palmer’s cocoa butter skin therapy line is a gentle, simple and affordable line suitable for a wide range of skin types. I have been really loving and incorporating oil cleansers a new moisturizers into my routine lately. I find that my skin gets dehydrated pretty fast, so using an oil cleanser is richer.
The cleansing oil is a very gentle cleanser. I found it did an okay job in removing an entire face of long lasting powerful makeup, as it didn’t completely clean everything off the first round.
However, I do find that most drugstore products either need to be used more than once when wearing an entire face of makeup (my primers are super powerful) OR they are over drying. So, for the price of the cleansing oil, it does a good job.
I also really liked the scent of the cleansing oil! It comes in a rose hip fragrance and I am a sucker for floral scents.
Moving on to the skin therapy oil, this is a moisturizer to be used after cleansing. As I’ve mentioned before, my skin has been pretty dry lately and I’ve found that many of the creams I’ve used are not doing the trick.
I found this oil to be moisturizing, but not as much as I needed it to be. Two months ago, this would have been great but it’s frustrating how my skin type is constantly changing. Since last May, my skin type has gone through the ENTIRE spectrum so certain products that I loved in the past do not work as well now. I’m hoping this is only temporary and I’ll go back to my ‘normal’ skin type which is oily! I am also taking many steps to make my skin less dry 🙂
All in all, I enjoyed using the two new Palmer’s products and think they are great for their super affordable price range.
Now for the giveaway! I am giving away THREE of these duo sets. This giveaway is open to those with a Canadian mailing address and will on June 27th at 11:59 pm PST.

Yay!
Starting off with the anti-acne treatment lotion, this is the star of the new line. It is clinically proven to help treat and prevent recurrent and occasional acne. The lotion contains a higher dose of salicylic acid, which is a super-power ingredient to kill and combat acne.
Last but not least, the purifying pore tightening lotion! It is definitely more of a toner than a lotion though. Unfortunately, this lotion did not work AT ALL with my skin. It felt very harsh on my skin and also stung, which is probably due to the alcohol inside the product. Immediately, I washed it off because I knew my skin would over-dry and feel leathery if I left it on. My skin was stinging for about 15 minutes after I removed it =(
Here are the three shades I ordered! For the super shock eyeshadows, ColourPop has six types of finish – satin, matte, metallic, ultra-metallic, pearlized, and pressed pigment.
Here is one of the looks I created using the eyeshadows. Look how pigmented it looks, and I didn’t even use that much of the product!
Here is another look I created using all three super shock eyeshadows. I am also wearing ColourPop’s Lippiestix in the shade dalia. I plan on doing a separate review for the Lippiestix!
