New Palmers – Sneak Peek

Posted in Skin Care by

We have been big fans of Palmers Cocoa Butter since….I can’t remember, but a long time now. We use it mostly because of the delicious smell but also because it really works. It softens, smooths and relieves dry skin and best of all it helps prevent and reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Oh and it is super affordable.

We were recently treated to a sneak peek of a few new products by Palmers, that will be available in March/April. So put it in your diary because you will definitely want to snap these babies up asap!

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Calming Lotion – I did mention this one in a previous post so now I will let you know a bit more.  I am using this instead of the Palmers Stretchmark Lotion, that I used religiously for my first pregnancy. I have found that the Calming Lotion is just as good, because 6 months in and still no marks of any kind on my belly and my skin is so soft and smooth, bonus!

It contains cocoa butter, soy and oats as well as soothing lavender and chamomile. It absorbs really quickly and provides relief for irritated skin conditions and creates a protective barrier to retain moisture. For this reason I also use it on my feet before bed to keep them soft and summer shoe ready. Perfect for everyone it is hypoallergenic, paraben free and fragrance free.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Hydration Gel Lotion – Got sunburn? or is your skin just a bit dry from the summer heat (probably not if you live in Sydney) Well you need this! It is infused with aloe and cucumber for super-fast absorption and an extra hydration boost, perfect! It also has all the good stuff from cocoa butter but is a really light weight gel formula.

Palmers Ccoa Butter SPF 15 – By now you would all know how obsessed we are with sun protection here at The Makeup Case, so you could imagine our delight when we were able to try Palmers new SPF 15. In keeping with all Palmers products, SPF 15 has that signiture Palmers smell that is just delicious. The great thing about this product is that you are mosturizing and protecting your skin at the same time with just one product, so handy! I love to apply the lotion every morning before leaving the house to protect me from the summer sun. Every time I apply the lotion I get a great feeling that I am doing something good for my skin, thats what you want from a product right?

All of these babies will be available March/April 2012 from Priceline, Target, Kmart, Big W, Price Attack, Hairhouse Warehouse, pharmacies and supermarkets. In the mean time you can check out everything else Palmers on their website.

RRP $7.40 for 250ml.

My Pregnant Saviours

Posted in Eyes, Skin Care by

We mentioned recently that I am expeciting my second baby in May, so I thought I would share with you a few of the things that are making me feel better about my changing body and keeping me sane.

Because I am feeding an extra mouth not only do I get hungry all the time but I am also really really thirsty, and so is my skin.
It seems no matter how much water I drink I still need to moisturise, buff and polish all the time. So what am I using?

Clinique all about eyes, de-puffing eye massage. It has a roller ball and is really cooling when applied. I use it every morning for hydrating my eye area and also helps with my dark circles from lack of sleep as well.

Simple smoothing scrub. I am prone to breakouts around my jaw line but since using this my skin is clear, exfoliated and free from blemishes. Perhaps its the multi vitamin goodness, and a combination of toning and moisturising I follow the scrub with.

Palmers Cocoa Butter daily Calming Lotion. I have previously advocated that every pregnant lady should use the Palmers Cocoa Butter for Stretchmarks as I did for my first pregnancy. This time, I cannot stand the smell of the Stretchmark cream formula (just pregnant hormones) but I have been using the daily Calming Lotion on my belly and so far…..free from any marks. It is for severely dry itchy skin and is a blend of soy, chamomile and oats. Its new and due on the shelves in March/April so keep your eye out for this one. I imagine it would be great for sunburn too.

The Body Collection Spa Organics, soothing mint foot cream. I received this as a gift for Christmas and it is nearly all gone. It came in a pack with a pumice stone, foot scrub/exfoliator and the moisturiser. I use the scrub once or twice a week but I use the moisturiser at least twice daily. It is infused with lavender and tea tree oils and has an instant cooling effect. Great for my swollen ankles after a long day at work.
