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.

Citron & Vetiver Body Wash from men's grooming brand Cremo: "A sophisticated, invigorating scent with fresh citrus notes and clean, woodsy undertones. Lightweight, concentrated formula delivers a rich lather that thoroughly moisturizes without that sticky, waxy feeling." $8.99 for 473 ml. Please comment if you have ever tried anything from Cremo!
