eos

Eos packaging is so cute and fun to apply, the flavors are appealing, and you get a nice quantity of balm inside (0.25 oz instead of the typical 0.15 oz). I love how you can get both lips with one swipe! Sweet Mint is my favorite of the flavors. It reminds me of creme de menthe buttercream frosting, and as a bonus it gives a mild cooling sensation to the lips. Nothing like Blistex or Burt's Bees, just a gentle tingle.

As for the balm itself, the package I bought today said "improved Formula," FWIW. I gather from previous reviews that this used to be more waxy and sticky. It feels very smooth and creamy to me. That being said, this balm is relatively fast-absorbing and doesn't leave a thick coat on lips. It wouldn't be good for healing chapped lips, nor as an overnight treatment. However, if you're just trying to maintain healthy lips or to alleviate minor everyday dryness, this is an appealing product to get you there. Bonus: leaves a matte-ish healthy sheen behind and would make a great lipstick base.

I'm assuming the ingredients are different from the egg lip balms because I really hated the egg balms, but the stick version, at least in this flavor is AMAZING. My lips don't peel or get dry after use, which, ironically, a lot of lip balms tend to do to my lips for whatever reason. It smells great and moisturizes my lips and keeps them soft even after repeated use. I will be repurchasing again and even gifting them to relatives where this brand isn's readily available.

This product looked appealing in the packaging. I should have known better as I was not impressed with the standard EOS flagship product that everyone raved about but was extraordinarily lackluster for me. This was no different.

I bought Vanilla Orchid. I was very pleased with the smell; it's very pleasant that smells both floral and edible. The product looks cool in the unit. It's a formed EOS balm, but this model is a clear, suspended product. It's so clear it seems it almost shouldn't be solid. Honestly the appearance of the product would make it an interesting item to have, and the smell makes it desirable, however it gets only 1 lippie in the packaging because it leaked into a gooey puddle while completely sealed up and laying on its side. I do not live in 110 degree weathered environments so I feel that is completely unacceptable. Quality testing should have eliminated this as a possibility from being an occurrence in standard room temperature environments.

The product itself made my lips feel drier with use. I thought maybe at first it was caused from dehydration but I tested it again at a later date and my lips again felt hardened from it, not moisturized. Neat idea, terrible product.

Several years back EOS was all the rage, and upon seeing that it wasn't seeming to die down any (prior to the blistered lips allergic reaction issue) I decided to give the Strawberry Sorbet a try that everyone was raving about. I was very unimpressed. I did not feel like this offered any moisturizing benefit. I did not feel like this protected any better than plain chapstick. I did not feel like this offered a good base for lipsticks.

Other than the packaging being interesting for its time (it was innovative and different), this really offered nothing. The brand markets itself on "natural" makeup. The entire world is made up chemicals, if this product wants to claim that it is natural, that's a misnomer to the unsuspecting public that apparently would like to believe that it means this was not made in a controlled factory environment but in some homemade etsy craft kitchen. Whatever. I would prefer something that might be ingested in some manner have some element in it that helps stave off bacteria or at least mold growth. This does not. Several users have reported theirs got moldy so just something to think about.

This is a true shaving "cream". It doesn't foam up or lather, it's simply a creamy thick lotion type shave cream. It really moisturizes the skin and doesn't clog up the razor. Smells heavenly and leaves skin soft and smooth. I probably won't repurchase since it's quite pricey and I tend to use it up faster since it requires more product than the gel type shave gels.
