Abstract
A dual-purpose utility writing instrument containing a pen and/or pencil at one end and a lip balm applicator at the other end for lip treatment. A wall divides the apparatus into two chambers, where one end of the pen and/or pencil apparatus may contain ink or lead and the other end may contain a balm for topical application, so that both the balm and writing instrument can be conveniently carried in a single apparatus.
