I've heard the raves about EOS Lip Balm for so long, and I finally succumbed after much yearning and bought one in Sweet Mint.
Oh my gosh. I'm in love.
First of all, could the packaging be any cuter!? I love twisting off the top, running the egg shaped balm over my lips, before popping on the top, chucking it in my handbag and going about my business. It makes me feel all young and fun!!
The scent of Sweet Mint is soooo divine, it's sweet but super minty - and tastes yum. Unlike a lot of other balms which often leave my lips drier than they started, EOS lip balm really does hydrate my lips - and the mint makes them feel nice and tingly too.
Apparently a local Japan Home Store sells these babies, so as soon as my no-spend is over I'm going to stock up!
I received an EOS lip balm in strawberry in a secret santa present. First impression? Love the packaging! The egg-shaped container is very cute and the twist opening is secure so it won't pop open accidently. I also think it's very eye-catching to display.
I'm still unsure of the round balm ball application. It feels very bulky to me to run across my lips, and the size of the product isn't exactly pocket-friendly.
In terms of the product itself the strawberry scent smells great and it has a slight sweet taste. The balm glides on to provide a slick of moisture that isn't sticky.
I found it moisturises for a little while but isn't overly long-lasting so you do need to reapply quite quickly. I do like this balm but I probably wouldn't repurchase myself as I prefer a slimmer packaging.
