Original Coke: Lip Refresh, €9, Lip Pop, €7 and Lip Splash, €9
Pootling about Boots last week, me and Aisling came across their very clever 'new in' stand, which is of course designed to make you buy every single thing on it. Resting happily on said stand were several Steam Cream designs which we duly admired, the much-hyped about Nanoblur, which we bypassed based on the fact that we already both own about 5,679,000 silicone-based doohickeys to smooth out fine lines and wrinkes, craters and Grand Canyon-style facial cracks.

But there was something else on the stand that caught our retro packaging loving eyes: these Coca Cola Lip Happiness balms, glosses and gift tins, adorned with old-school Coke advertising and in a variety of flavours and tints. So I got busy the next day in order to discover more. Cos they're soooo cute!

Vanilla Coke: Lip Refresh, €9, Lip Pop, €7 and Lip Splash, €9
You can buy three lip offerings for each flavour: Lip splash is a gloss with a light tint and is infused with Vitamins A and E. Lip Refresh is a balm that's soothing and cooling and good for thirsty lips - it also has a light tint of colour. Lip Pop comes in a tin and has sparkle! Oh yes! Vitamin E and jojoba seed oil are also included to moisturise and care for your lips.
The tins are pretty stand-out. There's one available per flavour - above you're looking at Oringinal Coke, €23, and they save you a couple of quid on buying the products individually. And they're going to make a really nice stocking filler too.

FYI: currently, there are only two Boots stocking these, Liffey Valley and Dundrum, so if you can't get to one of them, then what about these Fanta and Coke Lip Smackers we blogged about recently which are at Penneys branches for a mere €1.99?
