This body cream is an excellent moisturiser that contains a subtle
shimmer. It is perfect for those lovely summer dresses that show
a lot of skin as the shimmer really highlights your tan and gives
you a lovely glow.
Make sure you smell the product before purchasing as the smell is
what bothered some of our panellists.
I
was really excited to try this cream with shimmer. It
was very creamy but it was absorbed quickly into the skin
not leaving it oily. It made my skin very shimmery and
left a light tan, so I found it best to use on my legs.
It had a lovely coco smell, leaving the skin silky smooth.
I will defiantly be buying this product again. For a shimmer
cream I give it a 5 Star rating.
Personal Rating:
This
moisturiser looks pretty similar to the other Palmer's
products as the container is similar and the size of the
gloss is very generous for the price! It is very easy
to apply, smooth and not greasy and very comfortable on
the skin and no clumps with the shimmer.
The colour is shimmery and I think it is too shimmery
for me in daytime. Probably it would be better for night
use. The texture was very smooth and the smell is not
too strong and really pleasant. I find some Palmers products
are too strong in the smell of cocoa butter but this product
was surprisingly pleasant . Personal Rating:
It's
a standard 'body glow' product using glitters. I associate
Palmer's with their typical cocoa-scented body lotions.
A very summer-y looking product. I find the application
to be effortless, just like a standard body lotion. The
shimmer/glitter was very fine so I couldn't really tell
the areas that I've missed, which is good in a way. It
is quite subtle. You would have to wash your hands afterwards
to avoid glittery palms.
The lotion itself is colourless, however the glitter particles
are silver-ish. I would personally prefer a gold-ish glitter
as it will go better with my skintone and lend some warmth.
I think silver will be good for paler skin, though. The
glitter is fine and non-gritty, and as such is not too
obvious and looks 'teeny-bopper'ish. The smell is a faint
yummy cocoa, which doesn't bother me. The lotion is a
good consistency, not too runny/ gluggy.
It spreads well. This would be a good product to have
particularly in summer to enhance my tan and in the evenings.
I would purchase this again. Personal Rating:
I
noticed it was a very generous size. Unfortunately, as
soon as I opened the lid I wasn't too fond of the scent.
I found it quite overpowering. It is very similar to the
cocoa butter scent of the other Palmer's products, which
I don't like either. The product was easy and quick to
apply but it did leave a very obvious glittery/shimmery
mark on my hands which didn't wash/rub off very easily.
The glimmer was quite nice when applied - ideal for a
flirty night out (or in).The texture was very nice, it
dried quickly and wasn't sticky. Like I mentioned before,
the smell was not to my taste, but if you like the cocoa
butter scent of the other Palmer's products you would
enjoy this. I would give this 2 stars due to the overpowering
scent and the glittery remnants that get left on my hands
after application. Personal Rating:
Unfortunately
I was not impressed with this product at all. It was like
so many others on the market. I didn't like the smell
at all I didn't feel good applying it to my skin.
