Review: EOS Lip Balms
This review is long over-due, because I am absolutely in love with the EOS balms!
~~~ ~~~
Ingredient list for EOS Lip Balm sphere:
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. 1Component of Natural Flavor. *Organic. Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth. Patent Pending.
~~~ ~~~
My collection for now consists of:
There are so much I can gush about - the cute shape, the taste, effectiveness etc! It works well on my lips, leaving no waxy feel. It lasts long enough too, without having to reapply every hour. The cute shape always attract attention from everyone, although I don't know if this is necessarily a good thing :p The lack of SPF annoys me, since I'm used to using lipbalms with at least SPF15. Then again, I would gladly continue to collect and use these lip balm spheres!
Pros:
Cons:
~~~
Overall, this is highly recommended if you love your lipbalm as I do! For the price, it does the job well, keeping the lips soft and smooth. I love Sweet Mint, and can't wait to try the other flavours! Even though they're not easily available in Singapore, I will definitely repurchase them! Marketing and its cute shape definitely attracted my attention initially, but it is a worthy product in any case!

Pros:
- Certified Organic by USDA Organic (if you're interested, do head over to Viva Woman for information on "certified organic ingredients" versus "certified organic"
- Not tested on animals
- Smells and tastes like the real thing! (at least for Sweet Mint)
- Shape may be awkward initially, but honestly, it allows for super quick application
- Does not leave the waxy feel that most lipbalms do
- Lasts about 2-3 hours with or without drinking
- Sweet Mint gives your lips this awesome minty feel, nice and soothing
- 7 different flavours as of now to choose from! Plus, they have 3 additional flavours in the traditional lip balm tube!
Cons:
- Not easy to find in Singapore
- Expensive compared to other drugstore lipbalms
- No SPF! Other than one in Lemon Drop, which doesn't sound appetizing
- Cute shape, but easier to store if it's the traditional lip balm tube (and EOS do have those)
- Rubber packaging gets dirtied super easily, especially if you throw them into your bag like I do
