Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Body Gloss

First Impressions Now I am a huge fan Palmer's regular cocoa butter body lotion. I found that the scent, texture and results were fantastic. Therefore when I discovered this body gloss sitting on the shelf slap bang next to my usual product, it seemed buying it was a natural transition. My first impression of it was one of trust. Since I adored the body lotion I was ale to sub-consciously transfer my faith to this one as well. This was no doubt heightened by the similarities in packaging with the traditional and prestigious looking Palmer's emblem proudly displayed. In general the packaging is aesthetically pleasing. It is a tube form as opposed to a bottle ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved the smell of anything chocolate like and remember the first time I spotted a bottle of palmers cocoa butter on my mums dressing table as a child, someone had bought her some back from America. I remember clearly the delight when I opened the lid and that wonderful smelled filled my nose and I have been hooked every since. I was delighted when one day I noticed the palmers body gloss in boots and it was in my basket quicker than a cat up a tree and I was desperate to get home and cover my body and find my inner and outer J-Lo glow!. ====Palmer's ===== Palmer's as a skin care brand was actually developed in 1840 ...  Read the complete review

As a big fan of the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula in general, I liked the idea of having a body lotion with a hint of shimmer in it for special occasions. This seemed like a great idea, especially as I love using the original body lotion (see previous review for more details on that). ***The Body Gloss*** Like the original body lotion, this is yellow, but the addition of the gloss makes it a lot more shimmery. It is pretty easy to rub into the skin, although the shimmer wasn't immediately obvious after I had done so. It is definitely there though as my fingers had a lot of glittery residue on them after applying it! As with the original, you can smell ...  Read the complete review

I'm definitely a cocoa butter lover. I love the normal Palmers cocoa butter formula and I also use the concentrate product. So when I saw this new version of my favourite product I instantly brought it. I was also off on hoiday soon afterwards, so I wanted something that would help maximise the look of my tan. Unfortunately I was left disappointed. The body gloss comes in a squeezy tube and looks lovely when it comes out. It is of a light brown shimmery colour and looks very promising. However, this is where it ends. When you put it on it is super THICK, its an absolute nightmare to rub in and just seems to end up smearing across your body. This ...  Read the complete review

I have been using palmer cocoa butter for ever, It seems to help ease the unslightly scars that I seem to get. When I saw the body gloss I though that would be useful to go on holiday with as the big bottle didnt fit in my wash bag. In anycase i thought that i better test this new body gloss out before leaving home and I was expecting a mere shimmer but i looked like a little slimey fairy with way to much fairy dust stuck to her. The gloss seem to be slippery and felt slimey on the skin and stupidly i had put it on my face so that made matters worse as i spent most of the day glowing as i couldnt seem to get all the lotion washed off before starting work. I dont know ...  Read the complete review
