I am that girl who would 100% buy something just for the gram. I actually just bought a gold floor length mirror (it’s really rad, in case you’re looking for a new mirror) for the sole fact I thought it’d look cooler in my mirror selfies (note to self: would this be considered a tax write of??). Do you wanna know where my new floor length mirror lives? In a corner until I wanna take a mirror pic, cause we already have a floor length mirror, it’s more flattering than the Instagram mirror, but not nearly as chic & just wasn’t matching my feed.

I probably shouldn’t be telling you guys this cause it’s not something I am particularly proud of, but no shame in my game. I can’t resist a good instagram moment & am the first to buy the NBT as long as it’s aesthetics are on point.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE LATEST INSTA OBSESSION. Move over Starbucks pink drink, it’s all about EOS Crystal lip balm.

I love a GOOD balm & this one take the cake in the looks department. It is just so CUTE, & completely clear (looks like a mini crystal ball!). It’s quickly gaining Holy Grail status because, other than being photogenic, the hype goes way beyond just how pretty it is.

& for those of you who don’t know about EOS BALLS, well… IDK what to tell you other than, what’s the mailing address to the rock you’re living under so I can send you one? Too harsh? Sorry… but I just feel like this ball is kind of a life staple at this point & if you open up any drawer in my house or look in any bag I own, you will 100% find one of these cutie balls. The flavors always suck me in at the checkout line (obsessed w/ honeydew!!) & I also really love the fact they NEVER get lost in the bottom of my purse due to their fun shape & bright color.

I am an OG EOS user. Which was why I was SO excited when they wanted me to get in on the launch of their new Crystal lip. I am pretty picky when it comes to my balms. It needs to be glossy without getting sticky. It should provide lasting moisture/shine while remaining lightweight. And it HAS to smell good. Those are my BOMB balm non-negotiable’s, & I have been on hunt for a hot minute now.

CRYSTAL LIPS THOUGH, nailed the lip balm game… & considering I have probably tried every balm every invented (it’s a problem of mine), I would consider myself a trusted resource. SO, TRUST ME when I say, you need Crystal lips.

EOS Crystal really checks off all my dream lip balm criteria:

+ it is not heavy. Which is a miracle considering how LASTING the moisture is.

+ it looks good in ANY/ALL flatlays ever, or as a prop in an outfit post, or on the table next to your latte art & sunnies. It was made for the gram & I can only hope brands start getting the memo. Always keep Instagram aesthetics in mind!

+ it tastes delish & comes in two yummy flavors- Vanilla Orchid & Hibiscus Peach. I can’t pick favorites on these flavors, so get them both.

+ in a pinch, it can use it to keep your brows and/or baby hairs in place, which is something I do A LOT. Also, you can reuse the balm containers later for pill cases, which is the cutest pill case I own.

+ it is 100% WAX free & vegan, which is a major win. Waxy lips are never a cute, & although I am not fully vegan (cheese guys, I just love cheese, SORRY!!!), I do try to keep my skincare as vegan as possible!

+ pro tip: dab a little on your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, & inner corner of your eyes & then brush on your highlighter of the moment. This will hugely up your glow game.

I really don’t know what else to say here… but if I can talk about a lip balm for a full post, YOU KNOW IT’S GOOD. It is sitting right next to me now, I have been carrying it with me everywhere, my Mom already tried to steal it twice (but ended up going to Target today to get her own).
