Lip Balm - if you live some place hot, you need it. If you live some place cold, you need it. Basically, you need lip balm. Like so many other things we take for granted as a need in our daily life, it gets ignored. Sure, your local drug store has like five billion kinds of lip balm, but they are either flavored to taste like candy that's over powering and doesn't do a damn thing for your lips, or they work amazingly and taste like cough medicine.

EOS is onto something here. First of all, this does not taste like licking the bottom of a bag of sugar, which is nice. Most lip balms, specifically ones marketed to women, taste like candy mixed with syrup, sprinkled with a fine coating of powdered sugar, then rolled in cane sugar. It's just so mind numbingly over powering. I suppose the idea with those balms is then people will want to kiss you, but if I wanted to make out with a dessert tray I would, and then be arrested, but I'd fucking do it if that's what I wanted to do. This Organic Lip Balm has just the softest hint of flavor, a sweet kiss of strawberry, not toxic chemical sludge like most others. It also doesn't taste like I am making out with a pharmacy trash can either, which most lip balms that actually work do.

My girlfriend uses this daily, and since she has started using it, her lips are much brighter and fuller thanks to it, and by proxy (read all the kissing I mentioned before) so are mine. Now, I need to inform you that lip balm for me is normally only used when my lips are so cracked and bleeding kissing me is like licking a scab, so this is a vast improvement. (If your lips ever get to that level, Bag Balm, the product for cow udders fixes them over night, true story)

I have only ever actually applied this to my lips just once - for this review. This is how much I love you people, because I wanted to talk about the applicator. My girlfriend assured me that the round ball it uses is really, really nice. I have no idea. I didn't wear lip stick even in my goth phase and I am terrible at using any sort of lip stick type device. I seem to think the process is smash it to my lips, then make that pop sound and be done with it. With this, even my makeup application deficient man brain got the concept. Make a kissy face and gently rub the ball along your lips, freaking simple. Trust me, I figured it out, it's simple. Without even having to ask or anything.

I think by now you've probably guessed I don't have a purse, but if I did, this would be really easy to find in it because it's round. If you have a lot of round things in your purse, then maybe not, but it's not likely that your purse is your golf bag. I've had to fish around in the black hole that is my girlfriends handbag and retrieve this for her, and was successful at least eighty percent of the time. Considering all my other purse missions fail tremendously, this is an impressive statistic. I think this goes well in a purse.

All in all, I am really happy with this lip balm, so much I may even buy one for myself to put in emergency "in case of zombies kit," because chapped lips are the last thing you want to deal with in the damn apocalypse.

It's really great, I'm honestly impressed how much this does for my lips just from transfer usage, and the care and maintenance it's done for my girlfriend is indeed noticeable. Not that I had problems kissing her before, but it's nice. Hey and it's organic so, there is that.
