EOS Eosphere organic lip balm Review

Upon advertisements and online word-of-mouth, i had initially thought that this product would be a great new innovation of lip balms. The product and appearance seem extremely attractive and appealing, and almost forces you to believe that it will be a great product. After purchasing the product/lip balm i was extremely anxious to try it. The egg shaped sphere was wrapped in a little plastic covering that you rip off, and the exterior felt like a hardened eraser (i actually used it as an eraser later on...). Once i twisted the top off, the half-oval shaped balm underneath was a little gross looking. It wasn't white, it was more of a yellow-y color, with mysterious brown spots on top of that. Since you can't judge a book by its cover, I went ahead and applied the balm to my lips. It had a really gross feeling of year-old lip balm, and the smell was nothing like a lip balm should smell like. I understand that it was the "mint" sphere, but i could smell that mint before i even had the top off. Now i know that others would like the overwhelming aroma of mint, but this is just my personal opinion. Overall, this was just a $4 waste that made my lips chappy, instead of relieving them of chap.
