Review: eos Lip Balm Smooth Spheres - Honeysuckle Honeydew


What is it?
"eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth." - eos website

Price: $3.29


Where to buy: Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, evolutionofsmooth.com


My thoughts: A very interesting spherical egg-shaped packaging - a little bulkier than other lip balms I've tried, definitely unique though. It has a light honeydew scent, and certainly tastes like it too. I pucker up my lips to apply this, and it gets it in two swipes. Don't let the lightweight and natural feel fool you, it contains shea butter and jojoba oil. Yet, I do not feel the thickness of it when I press my lips together. This eos lip balm makes a really good lip primer. I noticed that when I use this with lipstick, the color of the lipstick shows up really well. I would say that it helps keep my lips soft, smooth, and moist; however, it did not heal my chapped or dry lips. There are 5 different flavors to choose from - summer fruit, lemon drop, honeysuckle honey dew, medicated tangerine, and sweet mint.

See how natural it looks?

Have you guys tried the eos lip balms?  What are your favorite flavors?

Guess what? CVS has a secret (well... unadvertised) extra bucks on eos lip balms this week! Buy it for $2.99 and get $2.99 extra bucks. Ends 2/26/11.

  1. I like the egg shape, too! I've never tried these kind, I usually use Burt's Bees.

  2. I have tried these, I like Honeysuckle Honeydew the best :) I think they're good to apply before lipstick because they're not as heavy as some lip balms.

  5. I have the green & the red one. They are definitely moisturizing and feel nice, but like you said, they aren't really for healing someone who has REALLY dry lips. I find that Carmex works the best for that.
