With subzero temperatures and a bad economy, we need an inexpensive pick-me-up that’s also useful. Ballmania’s new Garden Party lip-balm collection happens to be effective and extremely adorable at the same time.

The paisley, floral, and leopard-print sphere containers with names like Mrs. Baumgartner, Petticoat Luncheon, and Wild Thing are charming without being too juvenile.
