I love the Palmer's cocoa butter products but had sort of stopped using them during pregnancy and with young babies because i find the scents pretty strong and i wasn't sure if the babies would mind the smell (I quite like the original cocoa butter smell myself but it's a bit strong for bubbas, perhaps). This product however has that lovely thick moisturising quality that I love from this brand but without as much of a scent so I'd be happier to use it around breastfeeding and pregnancy etc I think. I don't think anything is actually proven to reduce stretch marks but regular moisturising is good for so many other reasons and this is a nice product for that.

This is my new favourite cleanser for regular use. I pick it up when on sale for better value for money and have been using it happily for several months along with the lotion afterwards. I love that it is thin and smooth with basically no smell (I dislike most fragrances) It doesn't leave any stickiness and hasn't caused any issues with skin reactions. I don't have particularly sensitive skin though so take that with a grain of salt I guess. This seems like a great brand with some quality products at fairly reasonable prices, I'm probably converted to continuing regular use of their face products for the time being.

I love this simple classic cleanser from QV face which is a brand I trust for gentle yet effective products for sensitive skin at an affordable price point as well as readily available at chemists. There is basically no odour which makes it my preference over the QV ceramides cleanser which I've also used and liked. No sticky residue or weird soapiness. I picked this up when it was in sale to give it a try and I think I might be converting to using it regularly or at least in my top 2 (I also like the Cerave cleanser).

If you love Palmer's cocoa butter products and you love the smell of coconut in things then this is the product for you. I got a sample of it from Chemist Warehouse and was keen to try it out after a day at the pool. It has the classic thick but not sticky moisturising goodness of classic cocoa butter with a fresh coconut smell. I'm not the biggest fan of coconut and will probably stick to the original Palmer's product if i buy from them but if you like the smell of coconut then i reckon this will totally be worth a try. Yum.

I love the dry shampoo by this brand and have long been a user of the original version, it saves me many times when my hair is overdue for a wash but I just need to leave the house! Great for shift work and travel too. Got a freebie in this tropical scent and am happy that it seems to work just as well as a dry shampoo but unfortunately the scent is just too much for me, it's fairly strong and I'm a bit sensitive to odors in general. I think it made me cough as well as taking a few hours to fade away in general. I'm sure this is mostly a personal preference and the product definitely works as well as its original version which is the main thing, but I think I'll stick to the original one for me

I usually love the Body Shop products but the British Rose scent is sadly just not the one for me. I tried this product as well as the dedicated hand cream, which both work fine as the products that they are for moisturising but I found the scent was more than 'subtle' and lingered longer than I enjoyed, as it was a bit of a sickly floral scent that just isn't my cup of tea. No complaints about the quality in any other way, I'm usually super happy with products from this brand. Will have to just stick to other scents and continue exploring the rest of the range.

How has nobody reviewed this flavour yet? I LOVE the satsuma body butter from The Body Shop, it's probably my favourite of their body butters that I'd used recently. Was given this as a gift and so happy about that as I don't think I would have picked it not being sure what scent to expect. Love the slight citrusy tang with the classic deep moisturising effect I'd expect from any body butter from this classic local brand. My skin felt nice and moisturised afterwards, without any lingering stickiness. Would buy again!

Is it a rite of passage growing up in Australia to receive The Body Shop products as gifts in various different fruity scents? I reckon I've been through a fair few of them over the years and some of the scents bring back memories of teenager years and Christmases at the beach. Like this mango body butter! I love the smell and I like that it goes on easily without leaving any sticky residue or overpowering smell after the first half hour or so. Maybe less. Leaves my legs feeling soft and moisturised, and I've never had issues with skin irritation afterwards. A classic.

These are a clever little invention of a product to hopefully help stop you from accidentally poking your ear drums with cotton buds. I'm sure we all know we're not supposed to stick anything in there at all but I also know how many of us find it hard to follow this rule! At least these baby cotton tips from Swisspers have a wider base that limits how far you can poke it into your to make sure it stays well away from the drum... though if you read the instructions I think they don't actually suggest putting them in your ears at all anyway ;) They still do a good job of cleaning baby belly buttons and the helix of the ears the outside bit, not the inside bit!) they seem to stay together pretty well too

Last Christmas one of my presents was a fabulous set of pink grapefruit products from The Body Shop including both the shower gel and the body butter. I love the citrusy scent of these two products, especially in the shower with this shower gel as there's never any concern that the smell will linger too much after getting out of the shower. I don't always love super fruity smells but this citrusy one is a great combination of sweet and citrusy. Used with or without the body butter after the shower, this is still a winner. Love the portable little sizes for taking away with me on weekend trips.
