    I love the shape of this lip balm! Never ever gets lost and is fun to apply and a great conversation starter! The scent is amazing and it is the most moisturizing lip balm I've ever used. I also love that it is all natural!

    I heard about this product a while ago but never saw it in a store, except for once and the package was open already. So I didn't get it then.
    This summer I was shopping with a friend in PA state and we came across these. We each bought one because they were so adorable.
    I've been using it for about 2 months now and I love it. It makes my lips super smooth and soft and tastes delicious without tasting like chemicals. It is an odd looking shape, but surprisingly it's comfortable to apply and doesn't get everywhere (which was my initial fear). It hasn't melted when I was in super hot weather while I was traveling which is a huge plus (and sadly happened to another favorite lip balm of mine).
    Overall, absolutely worth every penny!

    Price:
    I was very lucky to find the last one at Shoppers Drug Mart for $2.99 CAD $0.39 tax = $3.38 CAD

    On the EOS website, they currently only ship to destinations in the US, Canada, United Kingdom/Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico. Shipping to USA is a flat rate of $2.75USD while to all other destinations is a flat rate of $15USD.
    So if you live in Canada and would like to order from the EOS website, it will be $ $3.29USD $15USD Flat Rate Shipping to Canada. ---- WOW! Expensive!!

    In Canada, they were found at Shoppers Drug Mart and RW&Co;. However many locations has been sold out. RW&Co;carried the package of 3 retailing at $14.99CAD. I asked both retailers' managers whether the lip balms will be restocked. Their response is that, the lip balms were an extension to their regular line of products thus they may not be restocked. ---- Let's hope they come back soon!!

    In USA, they can be found at Target, Walgreens, RiteAid, CVS, Drugstore and more.
    I went to Target recently but I did not find any at the Buffalo locations.

    I also found some on Amazon and eBay. Amazon don't seem to be able to ship to Canada while eBay sells at ridiculous prices.

    Review:
    I heard great things about this lip balm and was so excited to finally try it! EOS lip balms, unlike many lip balm companies on the market, prints exiry dates on their products. Mine is 10/2013.

    I find that the packaging and the shape absolutely genius. I mean, in a business perspective, this is just the kind of gimmick to get us girls to buy this lip balm. We love cute, little, handsized balls! It's so cute! hahah! It's very unique and I haven't seen many of these on the market before. However, I have a love and hate relationship with the shape thus far. I love how convenient it is to look for it in my purse but I do like to carry wristlets and little pouches every now and then and this obviously does not fit! It is too bulky to fit into your pockets, too. Also, whenever I need to close the cap, I need to be extra careful not to jab into the 3D sphere. Generally, I still love this though! Everywhere I go, people still ask me where I get it. (I love the little bits of attention, hehe)

    In terms of application, it is not easy to apply on fresh exfoliated lips, rather it was a bit stiff. I do tend to over apply lipbalms so eventually it becomes smooth. It is not smooth and glossy like vaseline but when you start to rub your lips together, it definitely sinks in (melts) and your lips are nice and smooth immediately. I liked that I didn't get a heavy waxy or sticky feeling like I did with Blistex, yet provided a healthy, moisturized lips shine. I also liked that it doesn't have an oily or greasy feeling I get when I use vaseline.

    I think the staying power of the product is just right at around 6 hours. Normally, I liked to reapply very often anyway because I love this little ball too much. I also tried to test how long it will take for my lips to become cracked and dry again. The result was 2 whole, long winter days. I'm extremely impressed with this lip balm. I normally have disgusting, cracked, and bleeding winter lips. (I don't know how my boyfriend bares with me)

    Lastly, this is boyfriend approved. What does that mean? My boyfriend usually hates all the lip products I use because it has a horrible after taste. The EOS lip balms are so lickable! The flavour I have is Summer Fruit and it smells like the candy: Fuzzy Peaches! When you lightly lick your lips, there's a tiny bit of sweetness to it. yums! At first I thought it's really gross that I'm licking my lip balmed-lips, but it is afterall 95% organic and 100% natural. I don't feel like I'm consuming man-made substances! :)

    Ps, I was researching EOS lip balms and found out Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl also uses EOS lip balms! How cool is that!

    Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥
    Product: 5/5 ♥ Fits with description perfectly.
    Packaging: 5/5 ♥ Super Cute
    Price: 5/5 ♥ Price is Reasonable, but hard to find. eBay prices are crazy high!

    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 .
