EOS Lip Balm

I've never understood what the huge fuss is about the EOS lipbalms- after being given several of them, im still not really sure what the big deal is. Yes i do like the packaging, until the balm becomes flat and then you have to use your finger to get the rest of the product ( its a pet hate for me) , i would rave about it but there are lots of similar products on the market that are just as good.

The best part of EOS lip balms are their incredible flavours. They come in such a vast range that there is sure to be something everyone will enjoy! My personal favourites are the honeysuckle honeydew, summer fruit (an all-time classic), and pomegranate raspberry. I love the tastes of these and can't seem to stop applying them. The other fun thing about EOS lip balms are their fun packaging! They come in so many different colours and the round shape really sets them apart from other lip balms in a way that makes them fun to use. However, as a lip balm I found that they weren't as effective at healing dry lips than others. As such, I only tend to use them if my lips are not dry just to add a bit of flavour to them. If this is what you use them for rather than treating chapped lips, then EOS lip balms are incredible!

I brought one of these in Strawberry Sorbet. It comes in the classic egg shaped packaging and has the standard looking balm inside.

The balm is pleasant tasting and sweet smelling. It does have a light strawberry flavor to it, but not overpowering.

The balm is moisturizing at first, but over the course of a few hours I noticed that it became drying and if not replenished, the lips would become dried and flaky.

I also after carrying it around, have decided a prefer a slim stick lip balm as it fits in my pocket better.

I was really excited to try this and while it wasn't worse than most other lip balms, it wasn't better like I hoped it would be.

I received the peppermint one in my look fantastic beauty box in March and I have put it into my handbag as a go to lip balm. I absolutely adore the packaging and I wish the product itself would be better suited to me, so I could buy other flavours. I don’t think I will though, as it’s not as hydrating as I’d like and it irritates my lips when they are chapped, but I think it’s probably just because of the peppermint and this wouldn’t be a problem with other flavours. However the tingling sensation is nice that the peppermint gives, but only when my lips are absolutely healthy and there are no cracked skin at all. I obviously use lip balms more often when my lips are chapped, so this isn’t very useful to me, lately I’ve started using it under my lipsticks when my lips are in good condition.

The packaging is definitely something that drew me in a few years ago when I purchased my first Lemon Drop EOS. It's hydrating but wouldn't be my favourite lip balm as I need to apply quite a bit and you have to be really careful in summer when the weather is hot or it'll melt or you could occidentally ruin the perfect sphere, but because they are cute and gimmicky I can't say no. The lemon one I have smells so so good, delicious in fact. Lemon also has SPF 15 which is a bonus too!

i got the mint one, althought im not to keen on it, i do love the balm itself. it stays on a long time and makes my lips lovely and soft, its just the smell of mint is a tad overpowering for my tastes. but am going to try all other flavours :D

I have found myself with 7 of these little beauties without actually writing a review on them. The fact that I have 7 is a reflection of the amazing scents and novelty factor of this lip balm, rather than the formula itself. The flavors are divine, with a selection of fresh, fruity, sweet and minty there is something for everyone, or for every occasion! They look cute on my dresser and are fun and comfortable to apply. The formula isn't overly nourishing, which means that it isn't one that I reach for at night. However, the thin, light layer of moisture that they provide is perfect for underneath lipstick or when you don't want to look like you have sticky, thick lip balm on. I keep mine on hand to apply whilst I'm applying my make up, or in my handbag for when remove and reapply lipstick. I don't suffer from overly dry or chapped lips so the EOS lip balms are perfect for me.

Received the strawberry flavour a few days ago and so far I am loving it! Seems very hydrating, super easy to use and has a yummy smell! Based on other reviews I am interested to see how it goes in the long term....

Got given one of these as a gift. Love the fact that you can apply it directly to your lips. Has a very cute shape with an easy to screw on lid and smells wonderful. I got the strawberry one.
