Advantages: Smells nice (ish)

Disadvantages: Far too greasy, really light silver...not good at all for darker skins

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 would be fine if it wasn't almost silver in colour! You end up with hands covered in a silver coloured oily mess and your body feeling greasy and coated in what I can only imagine smothering yourself in lard would feel like. Rather than maximising my tan, I just looked slightly odd, like I'd gone a bit crazy on the body shimmer!

I was very disappointed as I really thought this product would be great, however it was a real let down...and at pretty much £5 a tube, I'd suggest just investing the money in a nice bronzer instead.

Summary: stick to the original
