The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 10 January 2023 6 Comments

A cheap-thrills lemming for National Bittersweet Chocolate Day: Vaseline Cocoa Butter Lip Therapy, promising "an appealing cocoa and vanilla scent" (do comment if you've tried it). $5.99 for 17g at Amazon, probably even cheaper somewhere else, and also sold in a regular lip balm tube.

Otherland has two candle collections out for the holidays: Adorned and Gilded. From the Adorned set ("inspired by the downtown discothèque, where the silhouettes shimmer with soul, diamonds duet to disco, and glitzy golds galavant with glee....a celebration of a winter wonderland in the grooviest of ways"), Dessert First, with notes of gingersnap, black cardamom and milky tea. $36 for 277g at Otherland. (A number of these collections are reissues. You can see Kevin's review of Black Velvet, Fallen Fir and Old Fashioned, all in the Gilded collection, plus you can still get others he reviewed from older collections: see Rattan, Kindling, Cardamom Milk and Tapestry.)
