Packaging is unsual but was willing give it a try. In short, I didn't like that it didn't seem very sanitary after a short time. I like to layer over a lip stain and my balm always had residual stain on the balm that I could see and would have to wipe off before using. Also felt stupid applying it. Disliked that this balm took up more real estate in my purse than necessary and the smell wasn't that great either. My husband said he didn't like the smell and I had to agree. Remember ladies- what we like as women isn't always what guys like. Will not purchase again.
Despite the odd packaging (I remember thinking it was really gimmicky when I first saw it), this is actually a good lip balm. It's definitely NOT super moisturizing the way balms that come in tubes or tubs are... it's a pretty hard consistency, so you don't actually get much balm on your lips when you apply it, just a thin layer. It's something I use during the day on the go a lot, not something I'd apply for a intense moisturizing treatment before bed or something. It's good for under lipsticks, it isn't so emollient that it makes lipstick slide off. One huge positive is I really like the scent, and I am really really picky about those. I also really like the scent of the light green one... honeysuckle I think? Anyway, two of the few scented cosmetics that I don't wish were fragrance free. Also, I only buy cruelty-free cosmetics and EOS is cruelty-free - at least, it was at the time when I bought this product (a few months ago - I've not checked to confirm they're status hasn't changed and of course it may in the future). Overall, it's not really anything that special, but it's a good reliable cruelty-free balm, and I'd definitely recommend.
The only reason why I bought this product was because so many people said it was so good and cute... The packaging is unique and super cute, but I have to reapply the lip balm almost every 10-20 minutes! It smells real good, looks cute... Wouldn't buy again :(

Great product! At first you may find it drys out your lips, but after a week or so, you get used to it ! The flavor is great too!
I'll admit that I purchased this lip balm because of all the hype from YouTube. Boy, was I disappointed. The only good thing it has going for it is the packaging, which is different and very cute. Otherwise, the smell isn't all that great and it's not as emollient as I'd like. I find myself constantly having to re-apply even after 10-15 minutes. Additionally, it tastes sweet so I find myself licking it from my lips from time to time, further causing me to re-apply and thus use up more product. I would not purchase again.
OMG i love it! <3 i thought the packaging was super cute so i got it! i LOOOOVE how it smells and it feels great on my lips!
Cutest lip balm ever! Smell good, taste good , very cheap too. I would recommend it to others. The reason that I didn't it a rating of 5 is because ,it is not very moisturizing. This lip balm does gives you the nice mixed fruit smell and taste, but not the moisturizing effect which a really good lip balm should have. Unfortunately, its only available in the state ):
Overall Eos is one of my favorite brands of lip balm. I'm an absolute lip products junkie, and I hoard my lip balms/chopsticks. The packaging is absolutely adorable and very handy (I can easily bring these in my purse or bag). The only CONS about this product: not very good for super chapped lips (it'll moisturize, but it doesn't do a very good job). Also, the 'egg' shape may be unique, but the downside of the container is that it can be tedious to carry in your pockets. Other than those things, I love the smell and I would definitely buy this product again :)
