It's great that it's organic but it makes my lips dry and cracked most of the time. Be careful when you leave it in your bag because it collects dust and dirt over time.

I received the EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm in Summer Fruit flavour as part of a Christmas present, and was very glad to try this new lip balm since I had read a lot about it in various style magazines. While it has done the job of moisturizing my lips and keeping them from drying out too quickly in this winter weather, I haven't noticed any significant improvement in their condition as I have when using other lip balms. The best things going for this product are the lack of phthalates, parabens, gluten and petrolatum, the cute spherical shape of its container, and the ease of application (although you will need to use both hands to unscrew the lid).

I have eternally peeling lips. Personally, I dislike lip balms based on petrolatum, and the phenol smell of Carmex just turns me off. This eos balm works really nicely for me. It's colorless lip balm with packaging color-coordinated to the scent. Summer Fruit smells faintly of ripe peaches (which I like - both the faintness and the peachiness). Personally I really like the texture - it's smooth and glides on nicely, it's not hard, sticky, oily/greasy, slippery, or overly waxy. It goes on smooth, and the spherical shape allows me to apply to the area around the lips as well if I need. Also good as a primer under lipcolors. I formerly used Burt's Bee's Pomegranate lip balm, but the scent was too strong and cloying some days (and when it melts in the car, it leaks everywhere). The packaging is a screwtop, more spherical than egg-shaped, with a flat bottom and thumb-sized indentation, and has a satisfying click when fully closed; it is cute to look at, easy to find in a purse, though not practical for stowing in a pants pocket. I'm curious how easy it will be to apply when I get down to the bottom of this, though, LOL. I'd love to try the eos lip balm stick too.

EOS lip balms seem all the rage right now. But are they worth it? I have been using the EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm for while now. I have the pink one in summer fruit. It smells good, but it is not my favorite scent. You have to admit it is very cool looking. When you pull it out of your purse you are going to get some stares ( " What is that? Where is that from?....." ) I don;t mind, its a good conversation starter. The lip balm part works good. However, chapstick can do the same. Except chapstick has SPF. Sadly, the original lip balms do not have an SPF. What a shame! What I am trying to say is that the lip balm is not the holy grail, it is not the greatest thing I have ever tried. I works well and the packaging is super cute. One big problem I have with this is what will happen if it melts in the car or something because its not in a contain I believe the lip balm will be unusable. It is not something you have the run to all the stores and stock up on, but I do recommend it. This retails for $3.29, so it is not going to drain your wallet. I really want to try the one in lemon drop, yum lemons and yes it does have an SPF of 15. If I get it I'll add it on to this review to let you know what I think of that one, which finally has SPF in it. Check them out at http://evolutionofsmooth.com/products_lip_sphere.html .
