Special Delivery #18 | #LipGlam

*I was sent this sample by #LipGlam, all thoughts and opinions are still 100% honest.

You can never ever own enough lip balms. Especially one that is multi purpose! #LipGlam is a natural long lasting, highly moisturising balm that can be used on dry patches, cuticles, rashes, you name it! It contains lanolin, a natural emollient extracted from sheep's wool, combined with natural botanicals, which absorbs really fast and leaves the areas moisturised. Not only that, it's also made in England.

#LipGlam is said to give 8 hours moisture. However, after applying this in the morning and getting on with my day, I did find I would have to reapply a few hours in. But if I applied before I went to sleep, my lips would still feel moisturised in the morning. I like how it's in a tube too, I hate applying lip balm with my fingers, it always feels really unhygienic.

The #LipGlam balm is not sticky, which means it's great for random dry patches on the body. I've used it on my cuticles after I've painted my nails, and they did feel moisturised. This multi purpose product would be really useful for nights out. (I once used my lip balm to soothe my dry hands, it did not work well, my hands felt so greasy!)

The only thing I dislike about this product is that it is really hard to get out of the tube. When I received the balm in the post, there was a sticker on it suggesting I put it in warm water for a minute to soften it. It's not ideal when I'm out and really need to use a lip balm, only I can't because I'd have to wait and warm it up in a pocket. For that reason I just end up reaching for another lip balm. I do imagine this would be different in the summer.

This is a really great lip balm, but I wish I didn't have to warm it up before using it. You can buy it here for £9.99.

Special Delivery #15 | The Tail Wagger Christmas box

In my Christmas guide for dogs post, I mentioned that I had ordered a Tail Wagger box for Freddie. It came today! I couldn't wait until Christmas Day to open it, so I opened it without Freddie around. He's already started sniffing the box, no doubt smelling the delicious treats in the box!

In the box, I received five treats and two toys:

The treats: Soopa Coconut chews, Alfie & Molly's Lamb Bites, Lucy's Carrot Crunchers, Leanlix in Run-a-way Frank, Veni-Dog Pure Venison Chew Stick, I will admit, I would not have picked these treats for Freddie if i'd seen them in a shop. I'm excited to try all of the treats out, but I'm also a bit worried as he's quite a picky eater. He will be more likely to taste the meaty treats first rather than the carrot biscuits and coconut chews.

The toys: A cuddly Rudolph toy and a Gor Flex Bouncy Ball. I've been meaning to get Freddie a bouncy ball for awhile, but I'm not sure about this one as it's rubber. The rubber picks up all the dirt on the floor, and although it'll be easy to clean, it's still a bit gross.

I can't wait for Freddie to open this on Christmas Day! First we'll go walkies in the morning, and I'll give him his box. He can open boxes by using his snout to lift the flap, so i'll let him do that and let him pick which treat he wants first.

What do you think of dog subscription boxes? Would you order one for your four-legged friend?

May Favorites!

Make-up
Maybelline Colossal Go Extreme Mascara
Aaaaaaamazing! Such a good product, I can't even.. just read my review here. So good. 10/10 would recommend over other mascaras.

Hair
Aussie Miracle Shine Shampoo
My hair and scalp have been a bit dry lately, so I switched shampoos and used the Aussie Miracle Shine shampoo to restore some kind of moisture to my hair. I know I wrote that it had made my hair greasy after a day of washing it, but I think it was because my hair didn't need that much moisture. So when my scalp became dry and flaky, this shampoo restored all the balance it needed! I will probably alternate this shampoo with other ones that I have.

Film
Bad Neighbours & Godzilla
Easily the best films that came out this month, although my boyfriend thinks that Godzilla sucked, I liked it! Bad Neighbours made me laugh so much, such a hilarious film with great actors. I really hope it ends up on Netflix so I can watch it again and again.

Snacks
Cheese puffs, white chocolate Lion bars, double stuffed Oreos
Oh my. I've gone through three packets of Oreos in two weeks. I can shovel a giant bag of cheese puffs in one sitting. The white chocolate Lion bar? Heaven. I love sitting down with a glass of milk, dunking the Oreos in. I never really buy Oreos, but these double stuffed ones are just perfect.

Smell
Our Own Candle Company - Blueberry Pie
This smells so good, literally like blueberry muffins, and even when i've blown out the flame, the smell still lingers for hours. Even if I haven't lit the candle in a few days, the blueberry scent is still in my room. The strawberries and cream candle doesn't smell as good as I had hoped, maybe when it hits the cream part of the candle it'll smell like cake.
