EOS Lip Balm

This product makes my lips a bit dry after an hour of applying it. I feel like I have to apply this a lot during the day. Doesn't moisturise for long. It does feel nice and smell nice when you first apply it, but doesn't last for very long.

I couldn't resist buying one for the cute packaging and awesome flavours but I've been so disappointed with the actual product! Maybe its just my lips, but I don't find the balm keeps my lips moisturised all, I constantly have to reapply it.

On the plus side, it has great packaging, easy to chuck into any bag you're using & they do smell great!

Unfortunately for me, the packaging is about the only thing I liked about this product. Sure it looks cute, and the scents are lovely. After about 5 uses it started to resemble a nipple (a great joke among my friends) but I found it super thing, didn't live up to the hype. I found myself feeling like Miley when I reapplied (which was often, I didn't feel like it lasted long) Once it gets low, it gets progressively harder to apply, I ended up having to use a brush, and that's way too much effort for this lazy beauty addict.

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.

I have this in 2 flavours lemon drop and summer fruit. The packaging is extremely cute, but not very practical. It is quite bulk and takes up a lot of space so I always find myself leaving it at home. The scents are not overpowering and they smell very nice. It is not one of the most moisturising formulas that I have come across, and I find that it is only good if you're lips are in a okay-ish state; but if your lips are flaky and dry then they're not going to be of much help.

Also, these are not readily available in NZ and can be quite expensive to source online, so once the novelty of it wore off, it wasn't anything too special.

EOS lip balms were such a hype few years ago and I had been wanting to try it, so a friend gave it to me for my birthday. I had a berry one with a light pink casing. It had a nice fruity scent and it’s in a spherical shape, which I thought was pretty cool.

I used it like any other lip balm and worked best on exfoliated lips. My lips felt smooth and moisturised afterwards. That feeling was long lasting, but I had to reapply in between food and drinks, which was expected of a lip balm. In saying that, even after eating and drinking, my lips didn’t dry out as I had thought it would. The only problem was the shape of the EOS lip balm made it awkward to apply on my lips and often the sides felt dryer than the other parts of my lips because I couldn’t apply it to the sides properly.

Overall, I think the formula of the lip balm is great, but the spherical shape is more of a novelty than a practicality.

I find this product highly overrated. I have 2 myself in mint and passion fruit and I personally do not like them.

The packaging is very cute and the design is great but the actual product itself does not do it justice. The scent/flavour is too faint and artificial smelling, I'd like it better if the scent was nicer and stronger.

I find it waxy to apply. It just doesn't moisturize my lips. It's one of those lip balms that look cute, but do not do it's purpose. EOS lip balms are not hydrating for me and just sit on my lips all day. They don't get absorbed and just feel oily.

Overall I don't think these lip balms are worth the money or the hype. They look cute, but cuteness shouldn't be based on the hype - the product should do the packaging justice and to be perfectly honest, it doesn't.

A friend brought me back one of these from a trip to America, and I was literally so excited to try it out. I got the flavour/scent Pomegranate Raspberry, which smells and even tastes amazing.

In terms of packaging, I love how easy these are to apply - no fiddling around with screw-up tubes or having to dip your finger into a pot. The downside, obviously, is that it's quite a bulky container, and not something you can just chuck in your jeans pocket, you really have to keep it in a handbag or something similar for on the go.

Although I love how cute and nice-smelling/tasting this product is, I'm really not impressed with the lasting power/effectiveness. I find I have to reapply this very often compared to my other lipbalms, and it doesn't leave my lips feeling in any way moisturised/nourished once it has worn off. Obviously it's just a balm, not a treatment, but I think that even a balm should leave your lips in a slightly better condition than they were before applying.

Overall, I probably would purchase a few different flavours of these if I was in the states - they're about $4 there, I think. I think they're cute and fun, just not particularly effective, so I wouldn't pay $10 upwards to get them online.
