Palmer's Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula (with vitamin E) Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter was an impulse buy but I have absolutely no buyers' remorse!

First up, the scent. It really does smell like a dark chocolate peppermint chocolate!!!! Palmer's cocoa butter products always smell so yummy.

Second, lets see if the statements on the packets are proven to be correct. According to the packet the lip butter is suppose to soften and soothe lips as well as adding a subtle gloss - I would definitely say this was true! It feels instantly smooth but not sticky when you apply it and slowly sinks into your lips leaving them feeling moisturised and unlike other glosses, once it has worn off it doesn't leave your lips feeling dry which is obviously a good thing! After a week of wearing this gloss the condition of my lips is great so we can also tick the box next to 'softens lips'.

And according to the packet it can be worn under or over lipstick for a natural and glossy look. Is this true? Yep although most of my lipsticks are pretty glossy themselves although I did try it under a Revlon LipButter and it worked great. It is a clear gloss so you are unlimited in regards to how you want to use it. I will be wearing it under some of my drier lipsticks.

Overall impression of this gloss is that it is a great gloss as it is very versatile, feels great on your lips and there is not a single bad thing I can say about it. And did I mention it smells great? Hahaha

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Overall score: 8/10

Weekend Haul

Okay so it's Wednesday evening and I'm only now just getting around to my weekend haul post! I'm a very bad blogger I know!!!! It's not that I don't love love love blogging but I had to cut my nails super short and I am trying to get them healthy so I can't pain them :( so sad!!!!! But anyway, I managed to do quite a lot of shopping over the weekend and even started my Christmas shopping. This is like the earliest I have ever started my x-mas shopping, I'm so pleased with myself. Okay, okay I only got one present but hey, it's not the day before Christmas........yet.



 Anyway, my weekend haul:

• Palmer's Purse Essentials (included mini body lotion, daily facial lotion SPF 15+, Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter and hand cream). This was being sold for 'below cost' at Target for $5.83 which I thought was a wicked awesome price considering the lip butter alone sells for $4.79 
• Essence Nail Polish (old bottle) in princess prunella 
• Essence Breaking Dawn Part 2 Trend Edition 'A piece of forever'
• Sun Sense SPF 30+ Sunscreen 
• Sun Sense Daily Face SPF 30+ invisible tint finish

 So I will be testing out all of these products and getting back to you. Literally, ten minutes ago I put on some of the lip butter for the first time and wow - it really does smell like peppermint.

I totally forgot to take photographs of the sunscreen but I have photos of the rest of the haul. Not much of a haul I guess but I'm pretty happy with it!

Thanks for reading,
cheers
