Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

I have loved Palmer's as a brand for many, many years and recently with having my skin turning dry this sounded like the perfect product to help that out. This is a dry oil which can pretty much be used anywhere on the body, including the face. This oil aims to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, dry & damaged skin and uneven skin tone. Due to it being from the brand Palmer's it smells absolutely incredible therefore I love putting it on my skin.

This oil is fast absorbing so you're not left feeling sticky or unable to do things after you've applied it. This works super duper well on my dry patches I have on my knees and ankles and really soothes them. This also helps the dryness on my face and I tend to apply this more in the evening and leave it on overnight. Simply because I find it then has longer to absorb into my skin and work whereas in the morning where I'm rushing I may not have enough time to apply this. It's not the quickest product to use ever but it's definitely worth it.

As mentioned it aims to improve many areas of the skin and I find that this does slightly help with the scarring I have on my face from my blemishes. It doesn't make a massive difference, like they're gone completely, but you can tell the difference if applied enough. It does say to apply this product three times a day which I do find excessive and something that can be hard to do if you work full time like me. So I will normally just apply this in the evenings, every evening, and then I can see a difference.

Overall this is a great product and such a huge sized bottle that will last a life time! You barely need any product so it really will last ages. I'd definitely recommend this if you have any dry patches and/or scarring you would like to sort out. Let me know if you've tried this product and also what your favourite Palmer's product is :-)

Palmers Eventone Dark Spot Corrector

Firstly I'm just going to put it out there that I'm trying to become one of those 'organised bloggers' and this is my very first (would you believe it) scheduled post so fingers crossed I've done it correctly and it works! I can't believe I've never done this before as it seems too easy if I can keep on top of it.

Anyway onto the review, I picked this up a while back from Feel Unique when they had their sale on. The first thing that drew me to this product was the claim that it targets post acne spots in aim to clear them up. Unfortunately along with having blemish prone skin, my skin is also prone to scarring from the spots which is an absolute pain in the bum. The scars never seem to banish and it's months and months down the line before they start to fade. So this product really appealed to me from that sense.

The second thing that drew me to this product is that it's a lazy, easy to apply product. It's basically a serum/moisturiser which you can just 'slap' on, if you will. So even on those really rushed/late for work mornings I still have time to apply this product. There's no indication on the product as to how many times you can apply the product; sometimes I go for morning and evening, if not then just the morning.

Now I can't say I was expecting fast acting miracles from this product but it definitely has helped reduce my spot scarring on my face without a doubt. I've always loved every product I've ever tried from Palmer's and this one is no exception. The product glides on effortlessly, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth. This doesn't strip your face or leave the scars dry or irritated. I think continuous use of this product and it will improve my scarring even more than it already has done. As with all of Palmer's products it has the gorgeous cocoa butter staple scent which I absolutely adore.

Overall this product is a winner for me and I can't wait to see (hopefully) even better results whilst I continue to use this. This product retails for around £9.99 and you can purchase from Feel Unique here :-)

Feel Unique Haul

A while back Feel Unique sent me an email all about their sale and all I can say is that I'm a sucker for a beauty sale. I tell myself I'm just going to browse and then days later a parcel arrives at my home, I don't know how it happens! Although I was able to restrain myself, slightly, and only picked up these three items.

The first thing I picked up is the Palmers Eventone Dark Spot Corrector. This was a total random purchase but I have always loved everything from the Palmers cocoa butter range so was drawn to this one too. The reason I wanted to try this is it claims to target post acne/spot scars which I have many of, unfortunately mine don't disappear so quickly. This stuff smells great and I'm sure I'll do a full review on it soon.

Next I picked up a different pack of the Yes To cleansing facial wipes and these ones are from the blueberries collection. I really enjoyed the last pack so wanted to try some different ones and these ones happened to be in the sale so I thought I would try these. These are aimed for age refresh but also to cleanse and moisturise. So I'm hoping I like these ones as much as I liked the other ones I tried which I reviewed here.

Finally I picked up the Real Techniques Stippling brush which I have actually wanted to try for quite some time so I pleased when I found it in the sale. I have many other brushes from Real Techniques which I love therefore I wanted to add this one to my collection. I haven't tried it yet but am super excited to and also to try it with different products. Again I'm sure I'll let you know how I get on.

And that's it for my small Feel Unique sale haul, I'm pleased with the bits I picked up and soon I'll be putting full reviews of all the products featured on my blog. I hope you enjoyed this haul and I'd love to know if you've tried any of the products I purchased and your thoughts :-)

Palmers Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Body Lotion

What beautiful weather we've finally received in the UK! It's the first proper sun that we've seen in a very long time but obviously, as with any weather, we were unprepared. The fact that I've literally had to live in summer dresses, shorts and vests without showing off an indecent amount of skin has meant that I've actually got myself a little bit of a tan going on, hallelujah! But before this all came about I purchased this lovely product and it's been my savior for my pasty legs.

I love the Palmers range, especially the cocoa butter, the smell is absolutely divine I cannot get enough of it! The fact that this product contains cocoa butter and vitamin E means that it's totally moisturising on the skin and makes it super soft. It's easy to apply, I just use my hands and make sure I wash my hands properly afterwards. Although this did leave slight trouble once leaving me with slight orangeness on the side of my finger nails (nasty looking) but that may have just been me. There is also the option of using a mitt obviously but other than that one time I haven't had any trouble using my hands.

The actual colour of the bronzer is fairly natural on first application and considering it's a gradual bronzer a lot more colour comes out than I'd imagined it would. It's still natural looking and not dark but just more colour than other gradual tanners. After a couple of days after application I'm left with a nicely built up natural looking tan which I love. You can obviously apply more for a darker looking tan, I tend to apply this once every other day as that way I find I get it more natural due to washing/showering in between applications.

Like I mentioned the application is easy and streak free as long as you make sure it's all rubbed in properly (stating the obvious) but I did find application hard around my ankles. You definitely need to spare the product around more 'difficult' areas. The smell is lovely but I find it does stick around for quite a while, not that it's all that bad as it smells of cocoa which is lovely. But I know some people may find this annoying. It also sinks into the skin pretty quickly so there's not too much drying time. Also this product is only around £5 something then I'd say it's definitely worth the price tag.

Overall I really like using this product and without a doubt when I need a top up tan I know I will get that from this. I think it's suitable for all skin tones simply as the colour control is in your hands (literally). This product takes minimal effort which is again something I love as after a shower you can just whack this on and voila! A lovely summer essential for those not so sunny days :) I'd love to know your thoughts on this product if you've tried it, if not then go purchase a bottle!
