A cheaper alternative to yesterday's lemming: Mongo Kiss Banana Lip Balm from Eco Lips. "Made from organic Mongongo oil from Africa and organic Fair Trade Certified cocoa butter, this ultra hydrating balm provides essential nutrients for your lips. Mongongo oil is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are known to remain on the skin longer than saturated fatty acids (like coconut oil) or monounsaturated oils (like jojoba oil), so you know your lips are protected all day. With hints of caramel, cinnamon and dark rum, Banana Mongo Kiss is a blissfully tropical treat for your lips." $2.79.

A summer fruit cheap thrill: EOS lip balms in pineapple passionfruit and coconut milk. One is a stick and and one is a sphere; your guess is as good as mine. "Our creamy and exotic Coconut Milk flavor tastes like tropical papaya and coconut to bring on those beach vacation vibes. Our tart and tropical Pineapple Passionfruit flavor tastes like a fresh and fruity island colada." $4.49 at EOS.
