EOS Organic Lip Balm in Summer Fruit (Yes, I caved.)

Trends come and go in the beauty blogger community: from pearl paste, BB cream, OCC lip tar to R&R blushers...I have seen everything and (I would think) held on to my wallet pretty well without jumping into too many bandwagons but this time...I simply had to cave in because...OMG A BALL SHAPED LIP BALM!?

Nah, I got it because CVS gave 3 extra care bucks for the purchase of this lip balm...which made this costing only around a quarter. I guess it's OK to cave when you don't have to pay (in full)?

Retails for around 3 dollars, EOS (Evolution of Smooth) lip balm is a 100% natural, 95% organic lip balm that's packaged like a ball with rubberized plastic(the texture somewhat reminds me of that of Nars cosmetics.I wonder if it will collect dust like them as well...)Anyway, let's get back to the product itself: 

Ingredient List of Eos Lip Balm
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil , Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil , Beeswax , Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil , Flavor , Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) , Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf , Stem Extract , Tocopherol , Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) See Oil , Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract , Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Fruit Extract , Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract

 There are already several brands (Do you know that Burt's Bees now has mango and acai berry chapstick? Is that totally awesome or what?) butter and doing Organic lip balms so I personally don't think there is anything wow-worthy when it comes to the ingredient. Performance wise,I would say this doesn't do much to my lips either when it's all dried out and peeling (when my lips are in decent condition, this does makeup them softer). Just FYI, chapstick/wax-based balms in general don't do much on me(I prefer a gel gloss or moist balm).

So is there anything special about EOS lip balm beside the shape (which totally looked like a peeled lychee when it's opened)? Yeah. First, it has that delicious, fruity/candy sweet scent that I couldn't get enough of (for a week then I got tired of it) and then the ball shaped...Wait, did I talk about it already?

Anyway, as a person with mild OCD...EOS is actually bugging me a bit that the dome part that's in contact with skin (with surface area around 7 times that of a normal chapstick) collects way more dead skin cell and other junks...I feel like the constant need of wiping it clean. That's not it, I also don't like it when I use it, I has to purse my lips to avoid smearing it allover my mouth. I mean, if duck face is your thing...I guess this gives you more excuse to make it?

Verdict: It looks rather cute, smells great and should be a perfect stocking stuffer for little kids. The product itself doesn't outperform those cheaper ones with "chemicals" and I personally still prefer Burt's Bees when it comes to organic lip balm.Overall, I don't like it nor hate it...

Repurchase? If it costs 25 cents, why not?
