Eggsnogg...

#Blogmas

On the second day of christmas...
My true love should have bought for me:
EGGSNOGG lip balm by LUSH
(How festive!!!)


Creamy Christmas Cocktail Kisses
£5.95

This REALLY excited me when I was strolling around LUSH because it is SO festive and I absolutely love the name...Eggsnogg - hilarious.

This would make a FANTASTIC stocking filler or gift for your mates, a girlfriend, a sister or just yourself!
LUSH says: 'Eggsnogg contains a luxurious mixture of butters and nut oils to make a lip balm that's soft, yet protective for winter lips. Vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of lemon oil all go together to make a flavour that's truly scrumptious, and sure to make you the most popular person under the mistletoe.'

I say: 'I'm not crazy about the smell but I'm not a huge fan of the smell of eggnog in general so I should have seen that coming. I do however love how this balm makes my lips feel, it's like a kind of lip scrub/ balm with sugary crystals and it leaves my lips looking beautiful and very snog-able.

Like I said I'm not the biggest fan of Eggnog. The other day I had an awful moment regarding this. I was in Starbucks and the man behind the till suggested an eggnog latte (he was clearly told he needed to shift them) so he massively hard sold me an eggnog latte and being the weak person that I am, I cracked and bought it. He told me if I didn't like it, I could return it and he'd give me any other drink in return but of course I felt so bad that I couldn't bare to! It was honestly the most disgusting drink I've ever had!! - The closest I can come to describe it is the flavour of the butterbeer remake they make at Warner Bros Studios for the Harry Potter Tour...
You make like it but it is not for me!



It literally ruined my day haha. I was SO sad. One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made haha. Next time I'll opt for tea - safe bet.
I have heard the gingerbread latte is good though...
I've never had it, let me know if you like eggnog, it's not a big thing over here in England so let me know if it's good...and if it actually has egg in it because if it doesn't then that's just confusing!
