Certified Discreteness

Don’t you just love to keep people guessing? In the overly exposed, reality show centric society we’ve become it seems only normal that the stranger in the Starbucks line should know about that weird rash you can’t seem to get rid of and how your match.com profile is getting more hits than the latest celeb sex video (note to everyone please maintain your spa voices when you’re on the phone in public places including the train, elevator and coffee lines….no one really cares to hear about your problems). I think it’s time for a countermovement: something discreet yet sinful, covert yet headturningly intriguing. And what better place to start this coyness than with your lips.

Think an egg shaped sphere that rivals any new I-gadget, contouring perfectly to hands with the softest touch. Donned in the runway’s Spring/Summer pastel colors, it could be more of an accessory than a lip treatment. I’m of course referring to the eos (standing for evolution of smooth) Smooth Sphere Lip Balm. Available in 4 mouth watering flavors (cause afterall we do taste our lip products), the perfectly round balm snuggles the lips enveloping it with rich, emollient butters (shea) and oils (coconut, olive and jojoba) for thirst quenching essential moisture. Lips transform from crackled and dehydrated to soft, pillowy smoothness. Certified organic (with the exception of the newest addition, the Lemon Drop with SPF 15), these paraben- and petrochemical-free will make even the most skeptical fall head over heels in love (just be prepared to hear where’s that other lip balm…you know that cool, round one?). And just to keep you guessing, I saved the best part for last at $3.49 a pop you not only need to buy every flavor (I love the Summer Fruit) but need one for every essential place (your bag, car, desk, nightstand).

Usage tip: If you like to apply a lipstick for color layer this lip balm under it to reap the benefits of both worlds. Apply when lips feel dry and at the very least every AM and PM to nurture your puckers.

The result: Your lips will never feel so smooth, so soft, so voluptuous but I never kiss and tell!
