Palmer's Eventone Suncare Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Sunscreen Sheer Spray SPF 30

Hello Everyone!


Here's my second post about Palmer's suncreen line. I'll link the first post I wrote yesterday night near the end of this post. I wanted to do these closely together since both products help provide protection from the sun's harmful rays.

DESCRIPTION


Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Eventone Suncare contains active ingredients and natural moisturizers Cocoa Butter Shea Butter and Coconut Oil to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun and help you maintain a youthful even skin tone. CocoaPlex™ Technology helps to prevent dark spots, uneven skin tone and premature aging.
Eventone Suncare Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Sunscreen Sheer Spray is a quick and convenient continuous spray that makes for easy application on the go.

PABA Free • Paraben Free • Phthalate Free

KEY INGREDIENTS

Cocoa Butter: a natural moisturizer that leaves skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest areas into buttery soft skin. Rich in Cocoa Mass Polyphenols which help to combat free radical damage- the main culprit of premature aging

Shea Butter: deeply moisturizers and soothes dry skin while acting as a moisture barrier to keep skin hydrated.

Coconut Oil: rich in lauric acid, as well as poly and mono saturated fats to hydrate deeply- giving skin a natural glow while helping to improve absorption and counteracting any white, pasty residue


My Thoughts

The first thing I noticed that this sunscreen smells like cocoa butter and sunscreen. The sunscreen scent is tolerable, it's strong, but not too overpowering. The sunscreen is sheer and absorbs well into my skin quickly. The claim is true, there isn't any white residue after I apply this sunscreen. I like how this sunscreen makes my skin feel really soft and it gives my skin a healthy Summery glow. I've received so many compliments on how glowy and radiant my skin looks. The sun tends to make my skin feel dry at times, but the I can tell how the shea butter in this sunscreen soothes my skin and keeps my skin hydrated. This is a definitely a must have for Summer!

Palmer's Eventone Suncare Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30

Hello Everyone!


*Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post by Palmer's. I want to thank Palmer's for sending this product to review. All opinions are 100% my own.


It's almost Summer and with that being said, today I'm going to be sharing some information and my thoughts on this moisturizing sunscreen lotion from Palmer's. Even though you should protect your skin all during year against the sun's rays, this especially important during the hotter months.


DESCRIPTION


Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Eventone Suncare contains active ingredients and natural moisturizers Cocoa Butter Shea Butter and Coconut Oil to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun and help you maintain a youthful even skin tone. CocoaPlex Technology helps to prevent dark spots, uneven skin tone and premature aging.

Eventone Suncare Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion provides 80 minute water/sweat resistance and UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum protection while leaving skin with a natural, healthy glow without any white, pasty residue

PABA Free • Paraben Free • Phthalate Free


KEY INGREDIENTS

Cocoa Butter: a natural moisturizer that leaves skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest areas into buttery soft skin. Rich in Cocoa Mass Polyphenols which help to combat free radical damage- the main culprit of premature aging

Coconut Oil: rich in lauric acid, as well as poly and mono saturated fats to hydrate deeply- giving skin a natural glow while helping to improve absorption and counteracting any white, pasty residue


My Thoughts

The first thing I noticed that this sunscreen lotion feels thick, but applies very smoothly on my skin. I really like how this suncreen doesn't leave any white residue on my skin, it feels like I'm using a regular lotion, just with suncreen added. This sunscreen lotion smells more like cocoa butter than sunscreen and has SPF 30. My skin feels so hydradrated and soft throughout the day. Unless I'm being exposed to sun most of the day, I really don't have to reapply this suncreen lotion. I've tried other suncreen lotions, but this one has to be my favorite! If you're planning a day out in the sun I suggest you pick up this suncreen lotion! This lotion really came in handy this week with it being in the high 90's and even 100 degrees! So you can just imagine the heat index soared past 100°! It's safe to say it's been pretty scorching hot in South Carolina!

Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Skin- Transforming Powder

Hello Everyone!


To wrap up Maybelline review week, today I'll be discussing my thoughts on the this new Maybelline's Superstay Better Skin Skin-Transforming Powder.




I tried to find some information to share about this product like I normally do, but there wasn't much that I could find. I looked on Maybelline's website as well and I didn't see any information. I'm assuming that they'll have some information about this powder in the future?!




Here is the information that was provided on the back of the package



- Our 1st Salicylic Acid that wears all day

- improve skins look reduces the appearance of imperfection pores and uneveness

- dermatologist tested for safety. Non-comedogenic

Swatches


Without Flash 


With Flash


My Thoughts

I like that this is a Salicylic Acid powder since Salicylic Acid is supposed to help prevent acne. I don't have too many issues with acne, but I did noticed that my complexion looks more even toned. Sometimes I can get a small uneven dark blemish on the side of my cheek due to skin allergies and pms, but I noticed that is looks less noticeable. Now that I see this powder works to prevent that issue, I'll definitely be using it to help clear my skin when needed. I picked up Rich Tan (80) in this powder and it matches my skin tone very well. I forgot how many shades were available at Walmart, but I did see several different shades.

I that this powder will be good to use for the upcoming Summer since it's sheer and lightweight. I've only worn this powder twice, but it doesn't wear all day. I don't really have a problem with that since it's so hot, but if you're looking for a full coverage powder you may want to skip this one. Like I said I like it so far, and I'm content with the meduim coverage this powder provides. I found this powder at my local Walmart for $8.94.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

Hello Everyone!


I've been on the hunt for a new face primer and since I've noticed my pores have been a little more visible lately I decided to give Maybelline's Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser a try. I've heard so many good reviews on this product, so I wanted to see what all the hype was about.


About the Product

Bye-Bye Pores!
One second away from smooth, poreless skin.

  

Why You'll Love It
 
Insta-blur technology visibly smoothes pores away.
Can be worn alone or under makeup.
Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free.

For Best Results
 
Smooth a thin layer under foundation for a smooth-looking finish. Or use alone for flawless-looking skin, smoothing onto areas with visible pores.







My Thoughts

I really like this primer! I use it on my nose, cheeks and forehead. My foundation applies smoothly it doesn't matter if I use liquid or a foundation stick both apply very well and my makeup looks fresh most of the day. I have noticed that my pores look smaller since I started using this product. I can definitely tell a difference around on my cheeks. Like I said I don't have many issues with my pores being large, but when I do this is my new go to product.

When I first applied this pore eraser to my face, I noticed it felt a little greasy which concerned me. I used a small amount on my face an the greasiy feeling went away so that was good. I'm thinking that this primer feels greasy or at least to me because it has a silicone texture? It only takes a small amount to achieve a reduction in making your pores looking smaller. I wear this alone, and I throughout the day my skin looks flawless. I also wanted to mention you only need to use a small amount if you use this product as a face primer. I purchased this at Walmart for about $6.00 which was a pretty good price. If you're looking for a new face primer or want to reduce your pores I think that you should give this product a try.
