Evolution of Smooth (EOS) Lip Balm

I’d like to believe that this is a very good time to review the latest lip product I purchased December last year. It's no other than the famous EOS lip balm. I got the Pomegranate Raspberry flavor, the red one.  I’ve been using the balm since December, and it’s very timely that I got to buy the product before the 'real' cold days crept in. By the way, I bought the lip balm just to try, test, and experience the hype and raves.

According to EOS site:

eos lip balm in Pomegranate Raspberry 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.

• Long-lasting moisture
• Shea butter & vitamin E
• Smoothes on clear
• Precisely glides on lips
• Twist-off top
• Gluten-free
• Paraben-free
• Petrolatum-free
• Phthalate-free
• 0.25 oz

And the ingredients are listed below:

Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Beeswax/Cera Alba (Cire D'abeille)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Natural Flavor (Aroma), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract*, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil*, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry*Organic. **Component of Natural Flavor. Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth.) Leaf Extract*, Linalool** 

You’ll notice that most of the ingredients are nourishing oils - those that can be found in many beauty products because of their well beauty benefits.

Note: I won’t recommend this product to people who are allergic to propolis and beeswax.

Quick review:

Packaging: The container is a hard matte plastic material. You have to twist it to open the product. Inside, it looks like an egg. My problem with this is that I have to be careful not to drop it while applying since majority of the balm is exposed.

Size: .25 oz.

Scent: It’s fruity and smells yummy.

Taste: Slightly sweet

Color: Yellowish; it’s transparent once applied, so you can use this before/after a lipstick/lip stain. Note: I just noticed that my lipstick color lasted longer than usual with EOS applied before/after my lipstick.

Texture: Smooth, it glides easily on lips.

Moisturizing property: I usually apply the product before going to work and the need to re-apply would be after 5-6 hours. This helps me prevent the possible dryness and wind burn from the cold weather for weeks now. It comes in 6 other flavors: Strawberry Sorbet (Pink), Summer Fruit (Red orange), Sweet Mint (Mint Green), Honeysuckle Honeydew (Green), Medicated Tangerine (Orange), and Lemon Drop (Yellow).

Price: P250-P300 from IG sellers; not expensive for a good and quality lip balm that naturally nourishes and moisturizes your lips.

All in all, this is a great product especially for those who love using natural/organic products. 

Love Always,
