EOS Lip Balm

I have gone crazy with these balms. I have nearly all of the flavors and multiples of them. These are a waxy feeling lip balm (which is my favourite type) that doesn't add a whole lot of hydration as it's quite light. If anything, I would say that it prevents loss of hydration as opposed to adding anything. These are fun to use, look cool and I often get compliments. They are also organic and I adore that in a balm. I just wish they were more effective.

I purchased a 5 pack on special from Fishpond last year. They are a great lip balm if you like a balm rich in shea butter. They smell really nice and have a thick, waxy feel. The product stays on the lips for a long time and moisturisers really well. What I love about this product is the container and design of the lip balm itself. The egg shaped pastel container is large enough to be found in your handbag, fits really well in the palm of your hand, has a flat bottom (so perfect to sit on your desk etc). When you open the lid the lip balm is also a large egg shape, which I find really great to use as I have quite large lips. Because of the heaviness of the balm, the product lasts a long time, which makes up for the fact that they are quite pricey compared to other balms on the NZ market.

Mmmn this stuff smells and tastes devine. It is a wonderful buttery consistency and the spherical shape is perfect for puckering up and applying to your lips. The packaging is so super cute, and much easier to find in the bottom of your handbag than a chapstick shaped lip balm. I do find you need to reapply it more than say Blistex. However I have just had a nasty flu and my lips were dry and chapped and I made a point of only using my EOS and 2 days later they are back to normal, which is the same if I used Blistex, so I am impressed with the formula.

Are these little eggs adorable or what? When I first heard of these online I went to the pharmacies and shops like Farmers but couldn't find any. Then a quick search on Trademe found that they were really quite expensive for lip balms. So I went on Ebay and got the Summer Fruit one really cheap (2 of them for about 12NZD including shipping I think). I was so excited when they arrived and I just love the packaging. The balm itself smells amazing and I love how it's round like a mini half ball. It's not amazing at moisturising my lips so I have to reapply about every hour or so. The fact that its organic is nice although I don't really mind either way.

I got sucked into the huge hype surrounding these lip balms, with the celebs carting them around. I'm a fan of mint lip balms in the first place so of course that was the flavour to 'accidentally' fall into my cart while I was browsing them online.

I love the packaging its just too cute, it's shape reassembles an egg, which is what they often get nicknamed. Then it has this soft almost velvet feeling to the plastic exterior and the easy to twist on and off lid that once off reveals the little dome of mint tingling balm.

Texture of the balm is very waxy actually and it isn't the easiest of balms to slather upon your lips but once you get going it applies very evenly without any build up remaining on the dome of balm, nor does too much get left on your lips.

The cool mint is refreshing yet tingly, the mint oils infused in the balm are very noticeable from its taste and fragrance. I also adore that the colour of the mint "egg" is a soft green/teal colour, or as I call it sea foam green which is my favourite colour of the moment.

Over winter this has been in and out of my pocket, dropped on the floor, thrown across the room when I left it on a table, and yet it still sits on my desk this morning happy as the day I brought it, no dents, no marks, and still about 50% of it left to use.

It has left me lips very supple and hydrated, I've had no chapping or flaking and according to the hubby, very kissable =)

I recently purchased this lip balm online and it is super cute! The packaging really appealed to me because of the interesting shape. They provided a wide range of flavours. It is easy to apply and smells real good! It provides keeps my lips moist and l would recommend it to my friends.

I definitely purchased EOS due to the major hype over them and of course the amazingly cute packaging but the lip balm itself is just the normal and nothing special personally I dont find it overly moisturising and they can start to go a bit dry if you don't use very often, great to just have in your bag incase of a lip balm emergency but no better than your normal lip balm.

I was lucky enough to be gifted one of these when my friend came back from America so I can't comment on price! I was so excited to get one after seeing them all over youtube and music videos etc. They are definitely eye catching in the way no other lipbalm is packaged like these!

The packaging not only looks cool, it also makes the product so easy to apply! No more having to wind up the tube or worrying about application anymore these go on so easily!

I got the strawberry sorbet flavour and it is delicious, it smells so sweet and appetizing it makes me want to eat it instead of put it on my lips!

I keep my EOS lip balm in my handbag all the time because its so easy to find and it looks cool bringing it out in public, especially in NZ where they aren't so common.

In terms of its performance and doing what it claims, I don't agree that these are long lasting, they are smoothing but they don't seem to last long on my lips... Maybe I subconsciously lick it off because it tastes and smells SO good!

I love the fact they are 100% natural, everyone is on that buzz at the moment and that's awesome!

I bought 2 of these at a bargain bin pop up make up sale a month ago and over that time, i've come to love the smell too much that I get sick of it pretty fast too! So glad I bought 2 different flavours so I can change it up once the smell gets too overpowering for me. Summer Fruits has a gorgeous smell which just smells like a sweet tropical summer cocktail but since the smell gets very over powering i use this one the least. Second one I bought was Sweet Mint and i am so glad I bought this one too, it has a strong cent but because its mint you cant stop loving mint!!

Both of these costed $10, but they're a very average lip balm, it was the packaging and seeing most of the celebs with them that ultimately sold me on this product, that I just had to have my own hehe.

I really like that its 100% natural which is totally awesome!! The packaging is like a super cute little colourful egg! and the inside is even cuter when opened, its like a opaque waxy balm, with a little heat applies to your lips nicely.

All in all, not a bad find :P

Love Love Love I have mint, vanilla bean, and a few others. Vanilla bean being my favourite, it has no p. jelly in it so is good for your lips. I like the fact its vegan and smells, tastes so amazing. Nothing has soothed my lips like these items and the designs are amazing, I paid $8 each off facebook and ill happily keep adding to my collection.
