Palmer’s Lip Butter: Beauty on a Budget at Its Best

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Butter Dark Chocolate & Peppermint ($1.99, www.drugstore.com)

Palmer’s cocoa butter skin products are second to none, in this beauty addict’s opinion. It’s that good, you ask? Yes. So good that my friends and I would always stock up on Palmer’s  during visits home before heading back to college overseas, where Palmer’s products were not available.

I still squeal with delight every time I cover my lips in Palmer’s Lip Butter. It provides dry lips with instant relief in the form of a velvety-smooth ointment that has a hint of shine to it. What else do I love about it? For someone who is so sick of the artificial strawberry scent so common in today’s lip treatments, it’s refreshing to finally see some  ‘grown-up’  flavors–Dark Chocolate & Peppermint and Dark Chocolate & Cherry.

Palmer’s Lip Butter is probably the most budget-friendly product StealThisDress! has reviewed yet. At $1.99, it truly deserves a rating of 5 luscious lips!

If I could have just one product in the shower (a horrific scenario, I know!), then SOS Spa’s Strawberry Chocolate 4 in 1 Body Wash/Bubble Bath/Shampoo/Conditioner is definitely the one I would pick.

The smell is sweet without being overpowering. And it doesn’t have that artificial smell that makes me think that I’m covering myself in all kinds of disgusting chemicals. It lathers well and leaves your skin and hair feeling silky soft.

It works pretty well on my hair, although it doesn’t have much detangling power.  But then again, I never really expect that from a 2 in 1 product anyway. When I don’t have a lot of time to mess around with different bottles, I use this magical potion. It is definitely a lifesaver on those “I can’t believe I overslept again” mornings.
