Basically, this lip balm comes wrapped up in a little plastic film to protect the quality (and safety) of the lip balm. It's a little egg-shaped container that comes in bright colors. Mine was Strawberry Sorbet which came in a pretty pink color. Upon unwrapping I noticed the shell was very soft to touch; almost velvety smooth. Unfortunately because of its material it does pick up link so be wary where you place this in your purse, particularly if you're a smoker like myself. I tend to have shavings of tobacco leak out of my cig pack from time to time and guess what attracted that...the casing. It was pretty difficult to keep clean after that. The casing doesn't really allow for wiping off lint with your finger.

The egg has EOS printed on the top and bottom of the casing. There's a seam that runs down the middle horizontally where you twist to open the egg. Inside the egg is a round ball of lip balm. There are two ways you can use this lip balm: #1 rub it with your finger then apply to your lips or #2 rub the little ball around your lips like a regular chapstick. I chose option #2. There's no allure to get my fingers sticky. I imagine, however, after much use when the little ball starts to flatten out option #1 will be the only choice.

The balm is very aromatic and tastes yummy as well. The balm isn't sticky or clumpy it is essentially a good quality lip balm with a few modern quirks and a yummy smell/taste. It's all together unique. On the downside on EF it is on the overpriced side. This could be found at any local pharmacy or superstore for less than half the price on EF. Alternatively purchasing this online may be convenient for those who live a bit further from civilization to go into town a whim for chap stick. I really do like this lip balm for two reasons. #1 It smells and tastes so yummy. #2 It's shape is so unique!
