EOS Shimmer Lip Balm Will Add a Hint of Glitter to Your Life

The spherical staple in our purses got a glittery makeover—just in time for the holidays. The EOS Shimmer Lip Balm takes the moisturizing formula that we all know and love—EOS have won Best of Beauty awards, and the holiday flavors were included in our Secret Santa gift round-up—to a new, glimmering level. When swiped onto lips, the balm will leave behind the glorious trifecta of moisture, shimmer and shine. Even the packaging got an upgrade. Instead of one solid color inspired by the flavor of the balm, the glittery version comes in a swirly cut-out black orb that reveals the shade of the formula inside. But wait, you're thinking. Why would you need to know the shade of a translucent lip balm? Because the EOS Shimmer Lip Balm comes in two shades. Or really one if you're getting technical. Pearl is a iridescent white that goes on clear, and Sheer Pink gives lips a faint rosy tint. We're confirming with the company, but as far as our collective beauty memory is concerned, this is a double-first for the brand. First time including shimmer and first time including a tint.

Which is not to say that we're not still completely here for the original . But if you hate lipstick and gloss, but love the glitter lips that have been taking over your Instagram Explore page, this new balm is like the lowest of the low-key versions of the trend. Take it for a spin at a holiday party if you're unsure of how it'll look for everyday use. Or if you're obsessed with glitter (like me), having a lip balm with a dose of the stuff is key. You can also layer the product over your favorite lipstick for added hydration and glitz.

The EOS Shimmer Lip Balm is available now for $4.99 at your local drugstore or on ulta.com.
