EOS Lip Balm

I picked up the pomegranate flavoured lip balm at a make up sale however I do believe that these are stocked at the Japanmart's in Auckland.

The cute packaging is definitely a bonus with this product, its size means that I don't lose it in my hand bag so easily, and it's kind of fun to spin it around on my desk at work....

The product it's self for my pomegranate flavour is clear in the packaging and when applied. It is heavily perfumed and tastes amazing. I have to keep reminding myself not to just lick it straight off as it smells just like my favourite pomegranate muesli bar!!

I do find that it has been very hydrating, but I have not found it better then anything else I have used before. The organic/natural factor is a plus though.

I got this in sweet mint and I was so so excited! Now that I've used it I'll admit this isn't the best balm out there. However, for me it's the easiest thing to spot on my desk or vanity since I don't have anything shaped or with a colour like this, regardless of how messy it is. It's very easy to apply and I imagine it would be even more so for those with fuller lips since they can potentially get an entire lip in one swipe!

It sits on my lips very comfortably and once the tingling is gone I can barely feel it there. It is very good but it is just as easy to find a lip balm in the supermarket that is just as good as this one. The price was a bit steep too and I paid $9 for this. Would I use it again? Yes. Would I buy it again? No. I can't justify the price and mostly got it out of curiosity. Besides, there's plenty of other balms out there to try. I can't possibly limit myself to just one!

It all started with one... Blueberry Acai. Now I have nearly completed the collection! Oops! I can not resist their unique and cute wee shape and how soft and nourishing these leave my lips feeling. Each EOS smells just like it is advertised too (my current favourite being Coconut Milk). These lip balms seem to last forever and when they do finally run out I have watched some pretty cool tutorials on how to reuse and recycle them! EOS lip balms have quickly become one of my favourites and I would highly recommend them to all!

I was lucky enough to be gifted a twin pack of EOS Lip Balm. One is Passion fruit and the other Watermelon.

I love the unique egg-shaped packaging which has little indents for easy opening. You simply twist off the top (which does lock back in to place when closing). You are then greeted with a circular shaped lip balm that smells amazing! The shape of EOS Lip Balm makes for easy and quick application.

The Passion fruit Lip Balm is in a lavender coloured container and watermelon is in a dark pink container. The Lip Balm itself is a smooth looking, lemon colour - and this is the same for both flavours.

EOS Lip Balm contains only natural ingredients, is gluten free and not tested on animals.

I think using EOS Lip Balm is a real novelty and I don't own anything else like it. And I like the fact it really brings moisture to my lips.

The packaging is not shaped to put in your pocket but easy enough to carry in your handbag.

I have the EOS lip balm in Coconut Milk after hearing all the hype over them online (and from my EOS crazed niece!)

The size and shape of them is pretty strange really. I'm assuming it's to stand out from all the other lip balms on the market but it makes them a lot harder to use and they don't fit into my pocket or handbag as nicely as balms in tubes.

The scent and flavour is delicious, so much in fact that you do tend to lick it off your lips quite easily! When you're applying it, it feels like nothing much is really happening but then before you know it you've got quite a thick layer on. I don't mind this too much at the moment though because being early Spring my lips are a bit dry from the Winter chill.

As much as I like my EOS lip balm, I don't think I'd buy it again unless they brought it out repackaged in the typical stick/tube style.

I picked this up after vaguely remembering it mentioned in beauty articles and having lost my favourite peppermint lip balm. I was pleasantly surprised by this product! I picked it up cheap while in the States and I want to get more! It lives up to my old balm in many ways. Packaging is super cute, love it and stands out as iconic. Secure lid to which is always handy for handbags. The lip balm is easy to apply, either doing all your lips in one go quickly or smoothing it over top and bottom individually. It tingles slightly which is what I love about mint balms and lasts well on the lips to give a hydrating and smooth feeling. Will be buying it again!

I feel a little let down with this product! Obviously I had heard raving reviews about these from instagrammers and youtubers alike and I feel like the only reason these have such a high following is because of that publicity.

Pros: The egg shaped packaging is cuuuuuute and unique Stays on the lips for a fair while Love the mint flavour - this is the only one I use Smells great in the tube! (see below) I have the Lemon, Summer Fruits and Mint ones. The Mint one makes your lips feel tingly!

Cons: It is far too hard for a balm. It takes ages to apply because it does not go on smoothly at all. Although it smells great in the tube, this scent does not transfer onto your lips at all -EXCEPT the mint flavour does. Wayyyyyyy overpriced.

In conclusion, I love the Mint version, but will not purchase again, or try any other flavours.

There has been so much hype surrounding these balms both on YouTube and the celebrity world. There is also a lot of mixed reviews on how great of a balm this actually is which did put me off for a while. I read a little while ago that the striped container balms had a much more moisturizing product so when I saw one on a website that I was already purchasing from, I thought why not and clicked buy.

I picked up the coconut milk flavor. The packaging on these is really cute. It's a small egg shape and mine is light pink and a darker pink in a stripe pattern. It's a very secure screw lid, it's easy to undo but it's not going to undo itself in your purse. When you open this, you are greeted with a, well i dont know what else to call it, mound of balm.

This has an amazing smell, it's sweet and slightly tropical. I really enjoy the scent. The actual balm feels really nice and moisturizing on my lips and lasts for an hour or two as long as I don't eat or drink. Basically just what I would expect from a normal lip balm.

A con for me Is the actual size of the balm. It's a lot bigger than lip size so it can be a little annoying to apply without getting it on the skin around my mouth. Also, it is pricey for a lip balm.

Overall, I'm not 100% decided on whether I would buy this again. I like it enough to use it all up but I'm not super in love with it. I did find a brand called kiss in farmers that does similar shaped balms. I purchased one for $8 but haven't tried it out yet.
