Coca Cola Flavoured Lip Balm

Today whilst in the queue at Primark I spotted a Coca Cola lip balm. I was very intrigued and seen as I have an unhealthy lip balm/gloss/stick addiction, I thought I would give one a go and purchase one. I tried the balm immediately and I have to confess I love it already! It tastes of cola flavoured push-pops, which I loved as a child, and provides the lips with adequate moisturising protection to face the cold, wet British weather. The balm also comes in a variety of other flavours including Fanta Orange, Sprite, Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke. Will it replace my favourite Rose Vaseline for use on a daily basis? Hm, maybe not as the Vaseline is tinted as well as flavoured, but I do like it very much.

Let me know your thoughts on the Coca Cola lip balm.

March -The Month of Magazines.

Ok, so I have to admit that I am a bit of a magazine addict, and this month is like one in which I haven’t encountered for a while. The newsagents shelves seem to be stacked with monthly glossies all featuring brilliantly exciting gifts; it’s a magazine addict’s haven! First off I purchased Marie Claire; a personal fave. This month Marie Claire is giving away 100ml size bottles of Cowshed body lotion. In the past I have received shower gel of this brand from the same magazine. I quite liked the shower gel, but body lotion is so much more exciting! I picked the Wild Cow lotion, which is infused with essential oils of lemongrass, ginger and rosemary. It claims to awaken the senses and sharpen the mind. It did smell lovely, mainly of lemongrass which reminded me of my brief time spent in lush Thailand. Not bad for a free gift from a magazine which I would have been buying anyway.

Today I couldn’t resist the pull of Glamour. It is celebrating its 10^th birthday this month, and in celebration is giving away a free Clinique gift. Oh the joys! The only problem is there is a whooping 10 different products to choose from; where to begin? I literally stood at the magazine rack in WH Smiths for 20 minutes staring at the fabulous gifts, deciding whether I wanted the lip-gloss or the 7 Day Scrub. I eventually opted for the face scrub, but I am hugely tempted to go purchase another copy just so I can have the lip-gloss too! Oh the choices.
