Have you seen these cute little spheres of lip loving goodness? My sister introduced me to these little things and I am so glad she did. I have been searching for a great lip balm that is organic, goes on smoothly and tastes good. Too many of the ones I have tried lately are too clumpy or thin or taste a little funny. EOS has created a fantastic lip balm that is free of all of the yucky stuff (paraben, petrolatum, and phthalate-free), smells great and is easy to apply. I love the shape too! They are so easy to find in your purse and when you open them up to apply the lip balm it goes on easily with a wide surface area. They come in 5 yummy flavors- summer fruit, lemon drop spf 15, honeysuckle honeydew, medicated tangerine and sweet mint
Don’t tell them but I got some of these for my tween daughters stockings this year. They keep asking to use mine and I know they’ll enjoy having their own. If you want to get some for yourself you can find them at Ulta, Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and more.
