Review: EOS Lip Balm in Summer Fruit

For those of you who aren't familiar with those cute bright egg-shaped lip balms that everyone's been raving, I'm going to introduce you to my new favourite lip product, the EOS (Evolution of Smooth) Lip Sphere. So far I've purchased two scents, Summer Fruit and SPF15 Lemon Drop but only used the first one. I have the driest lips and usually refrain from wearing lipstick or gloss because they're hair magnets and I end up eating them more than wearing them. This balm is actually something that I want to compulsively put on my lips.

5 flavours available: Summer Fruit, Lemon Drop SPF15, Honeysuckle Honeydew, Medicated Tangerine, Sweet Mint

 

Price: $2.79 at Walgreens for 0.25 oz (7g)

Ingredients: 

Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Beeswax (Cire D’abeille)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Natural Flavor, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract*, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract*, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Fruit Extract*, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract*, Linalool¹.

Verdict: This is a great investment lip balm and will last you a long time. I know that I would definitely collect all 5 flavours if I can find them. So much more effective and worth it than Burt's Bees. It actually melts all my cracked lip mess and makes them soft, lasting throughout sipping water and not needing tons of reapplication. I have these EOS lip balms to thank for softer lips.

Pros: 

- non sticky, not thick layers

- actually softens the lips

- happy fruit scent that I can't stop sniffing

- sweet taste

- a lot of product

- won't pop off or get stuck towards the bottom of the tube

- flat parts on surface prevent rolling away

Cons: 

- too bulky to fit into pocket

- maybe a tint of colour would be nice

- price?

Effectiveness: 

- Moisturizing 5/5 ♥♥♥♥♥

- Long-lasting: 4/5 ♥♥♥♥♥

- Texture: 5/5 ♥♥♥♥♥

Packaging: 5/5 ♥♥♥♥♥
