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.

Look Lush This Christmas.

It’s that time of year again – the snow is gently falling, settling prettily on the treetops, and Santa’s bells are jangling away somewhere in the distance. Almost everyone is in the festive spirit, and it can be difficult to remember that all the frost and wet weather causes havoc to hands, nails, elbows and sensitive faces.

Lush has the answer to ward off any unwanted dry skin and help remain cosily warm this winter.

Run a hot bath before bedtime and pop in a Bearded Lady bubble bar (£2.50) whilst the water is still filling up your bath. This cute festive face dissolves in the water creating masses of bubbles and releasing vital moisturisers into your bathtub, leaving you with soft, super smooth skin.

Use Glogg shower gel (£3.90) to wash away the stresses of the day. This warming gel contains orange, lemon, red wine, brandy, cinnamon and clove, leaving you with a wonderful spicy fragrance about you.

Remember that moisturising is essential in the winter months to ensure you are not riddled with dry skin. Lush have created two Charity Pots (£9.95) which contain gorgeous hand and body lotion, leaving your skin silky and crack free. What’s more, all the proceeds go to animal welfare, environmental and humanitarian charities, so you can sleep easy knowing you are well moisturised and have helped a good cause.

Lips are also important to look after during the cold weather. Sore, chapped lips are not only painful but wont leave your crush wanting to kiss you under the mistletoe either. Exfoliate away the dryness with Lip Dip lip scrub (£4.25). After they have been primed, smother them with Snow Fairy tinted lip balm. This extra moisturising balm is tinted pink, meaning lips will look luscious and kissable all winter long.

Lush products are eco-friendly, with 100% of products being suitable for vegetarians and not tested on animals, 76% suitable for vegans and organic ingredients are used where possible. So not only will you look fabulous, but you will feel fabulous knowing you haven’t harmed the environment.
