How to Upgrade Your Desk and Your Lips

Wrapping up a week of Best Bets dedicated to all things spherical is this modernist lip balm. Part of a collaboration between Estée Lauder and ‘60s futuristic designer Courrèges, this Space Age silver dome slickly reimagines your drugstore lip balm as a small piece of art for your desk. Inside each orb is a well of sheer, hydrating, brick-red color that, when applied to the lips and cheeks, gives them a slightly lived-in flushed quality that comes across as deeply alive, rather than juvenile. It’s an easy way to make your desk, lips, and cheeks look instantly better and more baller.
