I recently purchased my first EOS Lip Balm after all the hype, I was quite hesitate as I didn't want to spend so much of money on a lip balm because I'm very picky when it comes to any lip balm/ gloss I put on my lips.
The EOS lip balm in Pomegranate Raspberry comes in a cute fuchsia colour ball and smells more of Pomegranate, than Raspberry. The application is very smooth.
I'd definitely place this EOS sphere in my Top 5 Lips Balms. It moisturizes my lips without leaving my lips sticky and stays on for quite a while so I don't have to keep on re- applying it. Its 100% natural and consists of shea butter which is a plus.
I really don't know why I waited so long to give this a go!
Eos lip balms are just the best. The really moisturise my lips, keeping them well conditioned, in our harsh climate. I can't decide which flavour is my favourite, as they are all amazing. I keep one in my handbag, one in my beach bag, and one in my car, in an assortment of flavours.
EOS lip balms have been trending for a few years now and as much as I wanted to jump on that bandwagon when they were launched, I found them to be too expensive, considering that it's simply a lip balm. The lip balms retail from R80- R185, depending where you purchase them so when Zando sent me a message about a R200 off voucher, I jumped at the opportunity to try out one of the EOS lip balms they had in stock. I actually ended up buying it for R4- Yay!!!
Upon the first application of the lip balm, I wholly understood the obsession around the product. It is divine! Ever so smooth and moisturising and to top it off, it is made from 100% natural ingredients of which 95% are organic. Some of the key ingredients to note include vitamin E, olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba seed oil and shea butter and for this particular "Summer Fruit" version of the lip balm, organic extracts of blueberry, strawberry and peach are included. It's also great to know that the product is free from parabens (chemical preservatives) and petrolatum (mineral oil).
The lip balm leaves your lips feeling moisturised but not greasy or waxy as moist lip balms can do. This means that it's great to wear alone or before your lipstick application. Furthermore, the lip balm tastes and smells delicious.
The dome shaped applicator allows for easy application of the product, however due to its shape it may be a hassle to fit into flat compact makeup cases unlike your standard lip balms that come in flatter containers.
The price is quite hefty for a lip balm, however the quality ingredients make up for it.
I am a bit of a lip balm addict and love trying new ones out.. so I got my cousin in the UK to bring me a pack when she came for a visit. You can order them online in SA but they are about R99 for 1 so they are really expensive! http://www.hashtagawesome.co.za/collections/eos-lip-balms or ebay
I got Honeysuckle Honeydew and Pomegranate Raspberry... and they both smell divine! I love that they are 95% organic, 100% natural.. most lip balms are packed with petroleum! instead these are packed with vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil.
They arent thick on lips when applied and they do keep lips moisturised but I would like it if they added a very slight sheen to lips when applied because the application is completely unnoticeable.
I love the unique sphere design! and the fact that it isnt a twist up. but I carry a really small handbag so it isnt exactly a compact fit for me.
Although these are awesome I still think I would ask for good old Chapstick next time I get a visit from the uk (still my no.1 lip balm!)
I bought this along with my Real Techniques Core Collection Brush set from MyPrettyFacePlace.com
While it is a really cute and yummyliciously smelling lipbalm, it isn't the best out there.
It will also cost you a lot to buy this alone because they are usually like $3 and you still have to pay for shipping. But if you're buying other stuff as well, it could work out okay.
