I suffer from moderate dehydration. As my body rarely sweats, it doesn't know if it needs water or not. The end result? My lips feel like they're about to split off of my face. I used to buy petroleum-based lip balms, and I would eventually develop a tiny rash on my upper lip. It wasn't visible, but I could definitely feel it, even with my fingers. It wasn't until I found EoS lip spheres in a local pharmacy that it all changed.

My favorites range from Honeydew, Summer Fruit, and Sweet Mint. They're all amazing, and all have the same effect. I've tried other organic lip balms, and it feels like they all just sit on my lips, rather than soaking in.

A little of this lip balm goes a long way, and applying too much may cause it to melt off of your face. By too much, I mean like half the sphere. It's very thick, and it is waxy, but it not only protects your lips from the elements, it soaks right into your lips, plumps them up, and makes them just luscious. Please note that only the Lemon flavor has SPF protection, the others don't.

The flavor is a bit intense. You can smell it the moment you put it on your lips, and sometimes it doesn't mix well with food. However, it doesn't take long for you to get used to it; I don't find it over-powering or unpleasant. I actually really like it.

I know a lot of people who don't like this lip balm, but I can't figure out why no one is in love with this stuff. It's a little on the expensive side, but I beg you, if you're just "okay" with your lip balm, please give EoS a try.

It has everything my lips need, everything that I want, and it's absolutely amazing. Though, it contains stevia as a sweetener, which may cause you to keep licking it off your lips. A lot of people do this and don't realize it; the end result is you having to reapply it, which makes the lip balm seem ineffective.

One more note: I've noticed a few people complain that the lip balm doesn't seem to have a lot of "flavor." The extracts used in EoS's line of Lip Spheres and Sticks are natural fragrance (extract) in an oil base. When mixed with a sweetener (stevia in EoS's case) it triggers your brain to believe you're actually tasting the flavor. All it is is a sweet taste with a scent.

This is the only lip balm I will ever buy, use, and have on me. It's everything that I have ever wanted in a lip balm. If I don't have my EoS on me, I get cranky.
