Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Lotion Review, Indian Beauty Blog

Palmer’s Firming Butter is dermatologist tested; contains no irritating essential oils and is Paraben and Phthalate free.

MRP: Rs.520/- for 315ml

Ingredients:

I started using this Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Lotion when I was on bed rest for about 1.5 months. It was important for me to atleast try and tone my skin as much as I could, when I was immobile and not allowed to move at all, as muscles were not at all being used and went loose.

Also when you loose weight, the fat is quite loose and not at all firm or toned. Cellulite issue is also very common amongst women, especially on the thighs.

I love cocoa butter and lotions containing cocoa butter and shea butter, they are perfect for moisturizing dry skin. Coming to this Palmer’s Lotion, I love the pump packaging. It is very convenient and easy to use, though not travel friendly. There would be smaller sizes available which would be suitable for travel.

It smells amazing…the warm caramel cocoa smell is out of this world. I love how hydrating it is, also this huge bottle lasts really long! It is very light in texture. Skin does feel a bit firm and it did not loosen with the muscles. Also it is very smooth and soft and I did not have to reapply the lotion even in winters. I can’t say the skin was completely firmed or toned as it takes a lot of time to show results.

Overall, I would say, I loved the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Lotion. I love Palmer’s products in general and they have never disappointed me. This is now an addition to my favourites list.

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Review

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Review


I had mentioned about the new Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow launch here.

What the Company claims: New Vaseline Total Moisture with Stratys-3 technology infused with Cocoa Butter not only works from within to give you an inner glow but also nourishes every layer of your skin. It gives your skin the multilayer moisture therapy infusing moisture at the top, core and deep down layers of your skin leaving your skin feeling healthy and glowing.

Ingredients:

MRP: 300ml for Rs 150, 100ml for Rs 65 & 40ml for Rs 30

I liked the fact that it comes in 3 sizes and one can buy it according to one’s convenience..I love the small packs whenever I am travelling for a few days as they are perfect to carry and do not occupy too much space too.

What better than the warm cocoa butter smell in winters ! Plus a whole day of moisturisation. It does stay on the whole day and skin does not feel dry or stretchy at all even at the end of the day.

Its a cream colored lotion..not too thick..spreads and absorbs super quick and does not leave the skin greasy.
Pros:

1. Texture is perfect..not too thick..not too runny.
2. Gets absorbed in seconds.
3. Skin does not feel greasy at all.
4. Comes in 3 sizes.
5. Smells awesome..well who can resist the cocoa smell.
6. Economically priced.
7. Travel friendly.
8. Keeps skin moisturised the whole day..even in harsh winters.

Cons:

1. Contains methyl paraben.
2. It has a hint of coconuty smell..I am not much of a coconut smell fan..I would have liked it more if it had pure cocoa smell.

No other cons as such…This is perfect for winters and a must try. I surely recommend this..whether you have dry skin or not..you will love using this.

Vaseline Lip Therapy Cocoa Butter Review

Vaseline Lip Therapy Cocoa Butter Review



What the Company claims:

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs. 100/- for 4g

The cocoa butter lip therapy..has this brown and white normal twist up packaging..its a clear balm..and not tinted..and one major difference is its not too thick..but waxy..like a thin layer would spread on the lips..and you can easily wear this under a lipstick…the lipstick would not slip..or the color would not change..

Pros:

1. Easy to use and carry around.
2. Its not tinted..so you can wear it anytime anywhere…even when you feel you want to avoid colors.
3. Easily available everywhere..including pharmacies.
4. It has a soft cocoa butter smell..I like..
5. Can be used under lipsticks as its not too thick or gooey.

Cons:

1. I wished it was more moisturising. Though its good for daily use..but it does not heal my chapped lips in these harsh winters.

No other cons as such..overall its good…but for the winters I would prefer something more moisturising.
